As of 08/16/2024 the issue with the shared.lua conflicting with that of the base mechassault ad-don should be resolved.

Looking to now do the following.


On tabletop LRMs are capable of indirect fire and are most useful in a support role. To that end will probably make LRMs have a travel behavior similar to mortars or the Arrow IV but the missiles scatter around the target location.

At the moment there is not much that differentiates them from SRMs aside from visual effects and life time, I feel that this change will better capture how they feel on table top, but still keep them fun to use.


Plasma weapons, flamers, and alternative missile types are currently useless and remain fully unimplemented because the mechs do not track heat. Heat tracking would also prevent the spamming of certain weapons allowing me to use heat generated as the basis for balance rather than making some weapons fire slower than others which is something I personally find frustrating and reducing the fun to be had.

The implementation of overheating and override can also allow for some added fun in seeing how far you can push the meter before you explode.


While its funny to see an Atlas flying like an attack helicopter jump capable mechs are a little ridiculous atm with the ability to just fly forever. I'll need to look into limiting flight time based on number of "jump jets installed" just like in table top.
