I didn't like ammo kabooms which is probably why I energy boated.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />  I'm with you -- just don't go into battle with the ammo if you don't want to, at least as our table rules.  And I am keen on seeing exactly how the damage is calced to max out at 20 if no CASE.  If it's something like "Ammo left x damage value | max 20" I think I'd still come up with my own houserule to keep MG ammo from still being weirdly powerful, but I do very much like the direction that ammo explosions hurt but are not instakillkaboomnomoremechtoughluckforyouhaha.Oh if you're still rolling for front/back, yeah, that would seem to at least partially nullify the speeding things up desire...Hmmm, admittedly I really like Quads (the Goliath at least) aesthetically, so I am biased towards them, but I am also perhaps not as familiar with their current rules.  PSR bonus until you lose a leg, side shuffle, and slightly better in partial cover are the boons, more armour overall being a mid, and with much less internal space being the major con, right?  If so, the internal space to me coupled with the weird "make one of your torsos a turret!" rule is what bugs me; my homerules have been to adjust them to have a turret location as well.  Still not as much internal space as a regular mech, but not as hindering.  Heh, my impression of LRMs often seems to be be either meh it's a bit of chips off my paint to YIKES if you can boat a lot of them.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
