I think the best you can do is cram an AC2 into a Locust (even worse, because the energy hardpoints are mediums-sized, I can't shove a PPC or large laser in there). But how am I supposed to build Oosik level of loadouts like a Locust with an AC10? So don't expect ER anything, pulse lasers, LBX autocannons, or ultras.
Also, we're dealing with 3015 tech from the get go. But, you can't change engines or add upgrades like ES/FF/DHS. Like, you can change armor distribution, how many heatsinks (but not what kind), and there are weapon size limitations on the hardpoints (small, medium, large) so you can't put a gauss rifle where an AC2 was. It's like a weird mix of Battletech and Mechwarrior 4. So the mechlab is nothing like MWO? Or even Battletech? Makes the Firestarter harder to work too.

My dream of slapping a locust full of machine guns from top to bottom was dashed. Only getting a few pieces of salvage each mission could quickly leave you with no spares for repairs. Looks like you're going to be stuck pretty close to the base configurations on everything.Īnd hope you don't lose parts real early in the game. And slots having size limits too means you can't strip other things to fit a bigger weapon in.
Slots are fixed, so even if you strip weapons or jumpjets out, you can't fill that crit space with anything else. The mechlab is a lot more restrictive than BT or MWO though.
The economy/contract negotiation /mechlab/customisation stuff is almost identical to Battletech, Iolo
