Re: Balancing Robots with Powered Armor

Presently a 250 MDC SAMAS is like 25,000 SDC while a 350 Enforcer is 35,000 I am proposing the SAM be shrunk to equiv 2500 SDC while leaving robot alone. Giving all vehicles and bots 10x MD and MDC could also work. I suppose if you run an sdc only game that would work, i think thats not the norm th...

Thats why i advocated just doubling robot mdc and calling it good. It makes the extreme pricing jump make more sense, and is quick and easy to do on the fly just flipping through a book. I like this, except for what is your cut off for what gets doubled? If it has a reinforced pilot's compartment? ...
