Quote:Concern over balance notwithstanding, pilots can eject from their destroyed mechs and wander around the map armed only with a light machine gun. "Damage for the machinegun is actually calculated, but if the target is a Hound, this damage always works out to zero," Nabeshima laughed. "Of course, this weapon is effective at defeating infantry."

The ability to wander around on foot is more than just a gimmick, Nabeshima said. "We put this feature in because we didn't want players to experience dead time until the end of the battle if their Hound is destroyed. We originally thought of letting the player float freely around the field in a sort of spectator mode, but that would have the unintended benefit of allowing him/her to search for the enemy's base with impunity."

Moonlight looks absolutely devastating. You know it's gonna have a lot more damage potential than that silly pocket blade and it's never been known as a short weapon either. I won't be surprised if it can 1hko everything besides super heavies and tanks. I have no idea what they're thinking. Maybe you can't hangar it, though. That would be ok. I don't want a 15,000 TE @ 25 meters long blade in the game on easy access, though. That would shatter a lot of stuff.
