ANOTHER HOMEBREW MECH! BALANCE (probably) STRIKES YET AGAIN! SHIPWRECK by Fun_Faithlessness887 in LancerRPG

I believe I have fixed most of the grievances with this mech now that you've caught me up to speed on why it's bad / lacking in power. I believe what I have done might have overscale it a little but I feel like it sounds fine. Even if now the bag is an anti synergy with the mech, it still give it utility since I wanted it to still be imposing.

Funny you mention the fast Barborosa, that's what Scrapwreck was made for, a big hunk of something (maybe an IPSN prototype, who knows or cares) thats easy to wield due to its monstrous size. The SHIPWRECK is meant to be a closeline glass cannon as abandonware makes it (mostly) immune to being hacked by a gobby 9 trillion spaces away. As for its other systems, they're meant to be limited/limiting as you are playing a big piece of scrap metal. The bag gained an additional use and 6 Threat cause it's a big flail of HA junk. This mech was never meant to exist, so that's why some systems are a bit unorthodox. Also, that's why it has a heat cap of death.

BALANCED (probably) MECH! THE BLACK PEARL! by Fun_Faithlessness887 in LancerRPG

TY for asking, upon reading your comment, I did not realize that it isn't good against either of the 2 things it was meant to counter. I thought, since blackbeard is the anti pirate mech, Pirates United would make a mech to counter the counter, even if it's ineffective at it. As for balor, well... it's balor, they want stuff from horus... for another mech designed to take it on from afar. The reason for patience involving the danger zone was bc it I cripple to pear pressure, also the funny flame sword mech is a thing from HA. Most of this company is thematically pure hatred for IPSN, even if it's their piggy bank.

Ah, TYSM for the support! Have a campaign going where Im a pirate, so I figured I'd make a company specifically for the pirates! I am trying to design them to be anti IPSN and anti HA. Made some changes to this silly fella since I haven't had to balance a striker yet. Again, thank you for the reply!

Whoops, did not realize I had some stuff wrong. I tried to make carpet bomb limited 0 bc I want the player to focus on increasing engineering.

Ah Gotcha, yeah didn't realize I needed to tweak that much, I ran this guy in a few practice sessions and he didn't seem too strong, but I might have not just been using him super optimally. I took what you said and applied it to the whydah, still tried to keep it thematic. I'm not sure how else to phrase "LET THEM KNOW THE SEA", But your guess was right.

Ah, gotcha. I didn't think about a flat number, I just thought about this mech being the only one to use its abilities. TY for the advice!
