MECH TYPES AND RULES

As mechs, AKA robots you pilot, are the main equipment here we have a set bunch of rules for them.

The classifications between Light, medium and heavy is not in the size but carrying capacity. Remember that you should be logical. Dont make a super large mech a light type nor should you make a small mech a heavy type.


TABLE OF CONTENTS:

1 Speed

Slot System and Energy System

Slots

This is a simple thing to sort of organize how many weapons can fit into the mech. Each portion of the mech has a number of slots in which weapons or any upgrades will consume. This determines the total amount of items on the mech. Figuring out your own style to it is up to you.

Each add-on has certain slot points that it consumes. This points are different per add-on. Such as the main camera of the mech costs less than lets say a cannon.


Energy System

Each mech has a certain amount of energy it can use up in battle. This varies per mech because each mech can be heavily customized. Your maximum energy depends on the powerplant/powercore of your mech. There is however a slight difference no matter what.

Each mech automatically consumes a % of the energy. Why? This is to factor in the regular movement of the mech. This also means that when you use up the energy in battle you have just enough to run away, if you can escape your enemy that is.

Live ammo weaponry, like rocket launchers, missile pods and machine guns. Do not consume energy they consume ammunition. But weapons like beam/laser rifles and such will consume energy upon usage. Amount of energy consumed shall be posted

There are universal recharge docks for all mechs scattered around in the main cities or outside. Depending on the type it will recharge an amount per post. The ones in the main city recharge it instantly. Amount of recharge per post shall be posted.

Note that this carrying capacity is for Completely custom Mechs. Pre-built mechs may have a different number but you may still customize it if given permission.
