Re: [OT] FASA is Closing

I don't wish to continue this OT thread either...but I do have a
question...
Did they ever fix the ICE/fusion engine mount bug in the construction
rules?

If you don't know, my original version stated that an ICE engine was
twice the size
of a similar strength fusion plant.  That's fine, the fusion plant is
better
technology.  But if you tried to mount that fusion plant in a non mech
vehical
(read: tank or wheeled vehical, ect.) you had to include a "Special
power plant
mount".  This made the fusion plant almost as large as the ICE...Almost
no savings,
and little sense.  This gave me the impression that the mechs were made
to look/be
better than anything else.
(The first thing I noticed...blow one of a two legged mech's legs off,
and it is
vertually helpless and useless.  Blow one tread off a tank, it can still
use it's
weapons...for a bit...:-)
