Before anything I would please ask you to go a little easy on me. This is first time I am putting anything here.
Now let's get down to the bussiness. I am a player in mecha plot and we have currently two mecha plot. Atuan and Bahram Wing. I think Mecha need a little more attention.
We have danced around putting mecha scale into the work for months. I have though about and in the end even as mecha player I think that mecha scale is not needed. There are other possibilietes. But first I want to get to one point.
I play in Atuan which is Mecha plot. And I do feel uncomfortable with mecha in its current state. It feels like they are weak. Let's do a little comparison. Hostile suit used largely by Nepleslia is about two meters tall and has 15 points of sp and used all its weaponty (both rifle and missile) it can deal six or seven ADR a turn if all its weaponry should hit. Now let's have a look at Asura. It is big mecha which is almost 9 meters tall and has only 20 SP. Yes you will say that it can deal a lot of damage. Well yes it has ranged weaponry thac can deal about 13 ADR shoul all it weaponry hit. But do you think it will hit? No it won't. That is impossible. So you get mecha that is four time bigger then PA and has only five points more of SP on it whily it won't be able to deal much more damage.
As a player of mecha I am not comfortable with it. Like I sad there were suggestion about introducing mecha scale of SP. Yes that would be quite a possibilty. But it would also need change in most quite a lot of our wiki pages. So let's do this. Let!s put Mecha into SDR: Asura for example could have SDR 6. It sound much more formidable and makes it soak twice as much damage as Hostile, while the Asura is four times bigger then the PA.
I want also say one think. I would like if tanks would be kept in ADR. For one reason that I think is pretty good one. There is no plot about tanks. No one really uses them IC. So yeah tanks are cool but apparently mecha are cooler since we have two plots with them.
Now I would like if ther would be disscussion about this matter. First of all I would like Exhack, Cadetnewb and Kai say what they think about this suggestion since they are Mecha GMs. Then I would ask other mecha-plot players what they think and what they want and of course it would be nice to heat from Wes, Nashoba, Doshii and Fred as they are main admin-force of SARP. And of course I would like to hear from as many faction masters as possible.
I also don't want ot be rude but if you have no interest in mecha please don't post here to be rude or troll. I want to take this thread reasonably and put thought in it. So please be kind and don't make fun of it or anyone who posts here.
So let's see what others thinks.
