LR PACT: Limit Conditionally Banned Parts? - NiX - 04-21-2008

In our current set of LR rules, we have several parts that are usable only if specific conditions are met:

Quote:LORIS and LEMUR2 arms -
(1)if a right-arm gun is equipped, only a laser blade, shield, or flamethrower may be equipped on the left arm, or no left-arm weapon at all. NO hangered guns for the left arm.
(2)if a left arm gun is equipped, only a Parry blade or flamethrower may be equipped on the right arm, or no right-arm weapon at all. NO hangered guns for the right arm.

UA Core -
(1)if the UA is on any tank leg except the LHT, it CAN hanger any of the allowable hangered guns.
(2)if the UA is on any hover leg, it CAN hanger any of the allowable hangered guns.
(3)if the UA is on the LHT or any biped, quad or RJ, it CANNOT hanger any guns.
(4)CAN hanger laser blades for any design.

PEGASUS -
(1)CAN be equipped on Tanks and Hovers.
(2)If PEGASUS is equipped on a biped, RJ, or quad, ONLY the B69 or B72T boosters may be used.

TP Boosters -
(1)CAN only be equipped on designs WITH a blade on the left arm or parry blades on the right arm. (the blade must be on the arm itself, and not hangered)
(2)TP may be used in conjunction with LEMUR2 or LORIS for as long as a blade is on the left arm or a parry blade is on the right arm.

ROC4 Pulse Rifle -
(1)CAN be used as a primary weapon.
(2)CANNOT be used as a hangered weapon.

HP Handgun -
(1)CAN be used as a primary weapon.
(2)CANNOT be used as a hangered weapon.

ROE2
(1)CANNOT be used if 98L Laser Rifle is equipped.

But it's been pointed out that this system still allows for some cheap ACs, such as the ones posted by LCC.

And because of that, I proposed to allow only 1 conditionally banned part per AC. For example, if you have HP equipped, you can no longer equip another HP, UA, LORIS, LEMUR2, TP, etc. And if you're a "blader" equipped with LEMUR2/LORIS, you can't also equip TP.

Well that's what I proposed. But personally, I feel that EYE3/UA/LORIS/FA/ROE/98L/TP- ACs only look threatening on paper but aren't that much more effective than any other top tier AC in actual combat so I'm not really for any change here.

Like the other poll, 10 votes will be enough to validate the result, noh? And again, I'll set it to 10 days in lieu of PACT 4.

EDIT: WHATEVER IS DECIDED UPON HERE WILL TAKE EFFECT AFTER PACT 4.

No.

Until someone comes to PACT toting a monster like this, I'm not too worried about it. Maybe it happens in online matches, but (fortunately) not here.

Well this poll's obviously been invalidated. I think it's safe to say though that we do agree that there's no real need to limit our conditional bans.
