You're not thinking that we need to reduce lock range of the assault robots instead of increasing mechs?

Hunter maybe that an other solution, but heavys after still too much locking range. But the uber Waspish need long locking range, so it is complicated.

Btw Hunter sorry I shouldnt write anything in forums ? Or what? I am pop up an idea and what I see and I write on forums I think that why forum exist. I think what i say most of time not dumb as stick i hope.

(My english still bad sorry)

For PvE my recommendation would be use a dedicated RSA support bot to sensor amp you.

Free up 2 slots for tuners / extenders.

I have Long Range Targetting 8 and my Tyranos is locking at 650ish with 2 T4 amps. And 4 free head slots for tuners, extenders, or stabs.

This basically makes the minuscule locking range a non issue.

Of course locking range could use a little love on mechs A sensor amp is REQUIRED to shoot our optimal with no extenders even before any EP is spent is the problem.

to bad, everyone brings the "get remote stuff" argument.
recently i reduced my PvE activity even more since i just can't get into that senseless grind which needs to accounts (one for killing one for looting)

i need to reduce my GFX details to run two clients (1. reason i hate dualboxing)
i need to keep an eye on two things (2. multitasking is unhealthy, i hate it)
i need have to pay two accounts (3. it maybe look cheap, but two accounts ~100 € a year for a game?)

*edit:*
oh, and do no bring the "its a multiplayer game". Its very convincing "hey, come play with me - i will stay still in a location, shoot down anything that appears, and you loot for me."
thats something a script/bot could do too...

thank you for the pizza and the burger, DEVs

Yeah, I am not saying they should not increase mech locking range. Currently its a little bit silly how low it is.

Sadly multiple accounts feels required to play this game at optimal efficiency due to alot of interface / balancing issues like this.

Player: Cookie Monsta
Accounts: 5
Account types: 4 Combat - 1 Miner
Average Active in PvP: 4
Monitors:1  Sadly

Why? When fighting consistently out numbered it is required i bring the strongest possible bots with as few holes in my fits/counters available.

In most engagements i will use 1 account as my demober/nexus to allow me to Herd my prey i will then have my Main gunner account which will do the killing Followed by a buffer with more nexus/buffs for my main gunner. Lastly i will either run a iron Curtain bot. Which is the bot i use to cut off routes of escape or Flank.

How does one do this? Approach command is win. I can Demob a player for killing and either approach my gunner and maintain demob range with primary account or simply stash the demober behind a object while watching from my main gunner. From there  i can either approach my prey if its weak enough and move my Flanker in to position.

Most classic experience during this kind of play. Turning on Lemon's repper approaching a mesmer and tabbing to my demober and watching lemon chase down and kill the Mesmer on approach. Which was then repeated on to the Kain that was trying to assist the Mesmer while my demober held the 3rd mech out of range for me to then go and kill.

So hows that for multiplayer? Did i mention i tend to also FC on top of that

TL:DR no this is not about player skill or e-peen i am simply listing out exactly how much goes in to high end pvping for my self and a few other pilots who do this with me. I must complement them on there skill o7

P.S. Remote Amping/Nexus is required to compete with assault bots in mechs. Its almost a Chore for me to play due to the odds against me on average.

I actualy do like the situation on gun bots. they can fit for sniping (long range) and have to sacrifice other things for that. however I do not like the situation on pelistal. using missiles for sniping is not quite the good thing (missile flight time).

anywa a 15% buf on mech lock range would be good ... that way I can just lock a bit (20-40m) further than I can shoot with long range guns.

LOL your that butt hurt over nova...you made a char named after them.

You made a character named after the ideal you want to destroy...great idea...making a enshrined character JUST for them.

Fail...

I posted that topic so I need defense or something. I said, I would like to little bit more basic locking range for mechs about 260-280 m, before was 220-240 m. Nobody said seriously 9000, pls 01... dont do this.
