Little Idea...Vehicle Hardpoint System...


OK, basic concept is this:
Every vehicle weapon has a certain "point" value.
Every vehicle has a certain number of points it can accomodate.
Certain weapons can only be placed on ground, some only on air, some are unilateral.
I.E. Reaver 20mm = 1 point Reaver Rockets (air): 3 points
35mm gun: 2 points
12mm: 1 point
Skygaurd Flak Cannon (ground): 2 points
75mm cannon (ground execpt Galaxy): 2 or 3 points
Reaver can then hold 4 points of weapons.

Galaxy can hold 6 points of weapons, as can all Tanks.

Lightning thusly holds 4 points of weaps.

...and for those of you not familiar with Mechwarrior, Crimson Skies, etc... That would open the ability to customize the weapons loadout on your vehicle. To me, that would kick some serious ass although I'd be worried about lightnings rolling around with prowler cannons.

You would certainly need restrictions on the weapons you are alowed to equip on a frame...some are too heavy you know

It'd make it a lot more like infantry combat, you don't fully well-know what your opponent is equipping. This sounds like a good idea, as long as no serious weaponry is on a light and fast frame, and that the weapons do not add extra armor to the vehicle.

I posted a thing about this a while ago, a system like MW4 if anyone has ever played it. it would be cool to be able to outfit my reaver liek you can do with the apache and stuff. Make empire specific things too, like a guass cannon, and a vehicular lancer

a guass = measure of magnetic force, there's a guass rifle, it would be direct fire to, and have little travel time because of its hypersonic speeds

There need to be more Mags because they are weaker. There ARE more Mags because they are fun to drive.

OK, to expand upon this some more:
ALL tank main guns are 5 points apiece
Only tanks and sunderers can even have the capacity to hold them.
I was thinking about this idea some more, and I think that every vehicle has a certain number of weapon hardpoints, and can only equip a certain level of weapon (IE Vangaurd has 3 hardpoints, 1 which can hold up to a level 5 (main gun) and 2 others with a level-2 capacity. Think Freelancer.

Nawh there are so many mags cause the VS are idiots and keep letting them get jacked left and right so they got to field so many to make up for the losses due to theft. It's funn to see and NC force with 5 mags leading out over the river

I don't know about that A lightning with a Prowler cannon would be cool. But if you ask me even with the initial Concept A lightning shouldn't have enough Hardpoints to support That. It would be cool to do that and be able to Assign the Gunner for the weapon. Like down grade the Main turret a little to allow for a driver controled gun.
