Sensors
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2008 12:35 pm
ok, this has been bothering me since the first time it happened to me.
It was a game between MMPD and I, and in the opening rounds, MMPD hit me in the head and got 2 crits. Both knocking out (2)sensors.
This effectively rendered the mech unable to shoot at all. And as the round progressed, I later found out that it could not do physical attacks.
I only bring this up cause 2 days ago I read about the Phantom Mech ability (again) and got more insight on what it was

According to that entry, two warriors dueled and a Kuritan Warhammer at point-blank-range unloaded an alpha strike at an overheating Archer (morgan kell) and for some reason all shots missed.
Now I'm not sure what you guys may think, but I think regardless of sensors, you should have the ability to use your own eyes to aim as well. If you're point blank range with no Sensors (really should be called a targeting system), how hard should it be? +3, +4 to hit?
As well as Physical Attack? If i were to kick or ram someone, why should I not be able to because my Sensors are out?
sorry, just a rant
