-1 thats what we have fitings for. why not just make all modules interchangeable like your frame?

bad idea

i almost have to agree with him.

whats the real purpose of that module? we got tiered modules with different masses - that should be enough to create fits with different speed settings.

Doesn't really add anything in-game.

That's just some band-aid solution, for example who goes without sensor amps? They're also almost mandatory modules. Why don't we just give all robots one leg and head slot more while we're at it? I don't understand why people whine about LWF.

Something what I said today in IRC would be cool to see and make fitting more complex. Modules could have fine-tuning slots. You could change how they work eg. Guns: reducing accuracy and giving longer range. This way I could get my 'useless' accuracy off into something useful.
This fine-tuning would make fitting more complex but still 'casuals' could go with cheap fits without any fine-tunings. I know that there are 'tunings' in-game but I'd rather have module slots and tuning slots separated. For endgame pilots there really isn't anything "to make you better" of course this is just small 'feature' and it wouldn't save anything.

I know that was somewhat off topic but you can't remove mandatory items as it doesn't really solve anything. Most of the times pewpewing pilots will fit guns, lwf, sensor amp, resists anyways. Do we really want to remove all of them or like Zortarg said, make them interchangeable parts?

The way how PO works kinda makes some modules mandatory in different scenarios, sadly LWF just fits in 'running away from zerg' and 'catching someone off guard'. If there would be objective that you need to defend in 2vs2 scenario surely people would leave LWF and fit something else.

TL;DR: Jasdemi just needs a slap.

nope, lwf is mandatory to get from a to b, no matter what you do.

its also mandatory to fit t4 lwf to keep up with the group.

sensor amp is not mandatory, because it can remotely buffed with exactly the same efficiency (except t4p sa).

but if you fit an armor plate instead of a lwf, theres no way you can keep up with anyone

If you're defending objective you don't have to keep up with anyone. Eg. someone killing npcs without lwf on and suddenly wild roamer with lwf shows up, who has better chances to survive? Without lwf guy just wanted to kill npcs so he will "win" if pvp doesn't happen and he gets to safety or blows up the attacker.

You can get from a to b without lwf, you don't need T4 to keep up with the group except if you all are using same bot and T4 lwf. If there's Tyrannos with T4, I'm pretty sure you can use lower tier lwf on kain without dropping out.

Jasdemi. I advice to participate in any mass PvP.

Earlier, i asked to remove LWF from game because it is musthave module.

all your talking about is pvp...

sure, the new agents ingame quit because of their lack of speed in pvp,
not their paperthin noobie robots in t1 lwfs forced to hit-and-run farm npcs spawns that are balanced towards powergrinding with multiple agents.

some time ago i suggested a dimishing return system for speed increase.

that way DEVs could still keep the maximum reachable speed where it is, but you wouldnt need to even fit the smallest bot with a lwf just to keep up with your lwf fitted mech-group....

but such balancing discussions are out of the reach for most here...

Most players fit/use EM-guns, HCL lasers and ballistic missiles - let's remove other variants and make those built-in.

Most players fit at least 1 SA - let's remove 1 head slot and just add bonuses to a robot

Most players are using miner robots for mining and harvester bots for harvesting - let's integrate tose modules into robots. Oh, and let's make additional versions of those for RR, ET and RSA.

After all, why to bother about fittings? Let's make 1 universal bot with EVERYTHING fitted already, just disabled until extensions are leveled.

Then why do we need extensions? Let's just preset a leveling order once and make it automatic - you just pay and wait.

Then look at pvp - it's always numbers against numbers with skills and luck as random part - let's change it all to dice roll or rock-paper-scissors - easier, eh!

Oh look! Game doesn't need such graphic requirements anymore cuz no content - let's turn it to a browser flash mini-game! Win-Win!

I say nay, simply because there's a wonderful system for switching out HP/speed profiles in place already: modules. You want more speed? Fit a LWF. You want more HP? Fit a plate. See?
