While I told Nix earlier that I would be willing to concede on the Pegs on less used boosters, I thought about it some more and I am against it. Even on the Birdie, B81, or Gull, the Pegs provide too much of a boost in acceleration to a non-tank AC. Therefore, if a player wants to, he can literally just get in a few hits on the other guy and just run for the rest of the match, and win. Yes, it's quite cheap, but it's a legal tactic nonetheless.
Pegs on hovers though, I'm kinda on the fence. I mean adding Pegs will make hover ACs near impossible to hit, but then again they do run hot as they are (thereby making the addition of Pegs place more burden on cooling), as well as having little defense in the first place. Add to that the fact that them Pegs are really heavy... maybe we can allow them.
On the matter of the H3s, I look at them this way: even if they're single-wielded, it only takes around 3 or 4 hits from one to put an AC in OPD IIRC, and less so if there's another gun firing at them. Therefore, once a player gets hit, no amount of emergency cooling will get them out of the situation that the aggressor has put them in. I'll test it some more to see, but right now I'm for banning them completely. If anyone has immediate information regarding this though, please correct me.
I agree with hangered blades on the UA.
I agree with shields on the Loris and Lemur2.
I agree with lefty guns on the Loris and Lemur2 if the right arm has only a parry blade, or (!)no gun at all(!).
To have more direction in this thread, I think we should sort out the banned maps first. Can anyone please post the complete list of maps available in i-Link play? We'll pick and choose from there.
