Proposal: Front Toward Enemy

Reaches quorum and is enacted at 8-0 -SingularByte

Adminned at 13 Jul 2022 05:59:25 UTC

In the “Systems” bullet point in “Bot Loadout”, replace the word “Systems” with:-

An ordered list of Systems

To the rule “Systems”, add:-

The list of a Bot’s Systems represent the mounted positions of those systems, listed from front to back. When a System Effect refers to the Exposed System of a Bot, it means its frontmost System (if the Bot is facing the Bot using the Effect) or its rearmost System (if it is not). While Bot is Flipped, none of its Systems are Exposed.

If a System has a Condition of 0%, then its Effect is considered to be blank, and it is skipped when determining the frontmost or rearmost System of a Bot.

An Operator who is In the Workshop may change the order of their Bot’s Systems at any time.

Add two new Systems:-

|| Grinder || ₩1,500 || 200 || 5 || The Condition of the Opponent’s Exposed System (if it has one) has 25% subtracted.
|| Plate || ₩1,000 || 0 || 0 || Nothing happens.

Reword the effects of the Ram System from “The Condition of the Opponent’s Chassis has 25% subtracted.” to:-

The Condition of the Opponent’s Chassis and (if it has one) its Exposed System both have 15% subtracted.

Assume the order of all Bots’ systems to match the orders they were listed as on the gamestate tracking page immediately before this proposal enacted.

Having the listed order of a Bot’s Systems being the sequence that they are physically mounted on the chassis. Also having Systems disappear from the sequence and shut down entirely, at 0% Condition.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the plate get some amount of consumption to represent the additional weight being lugged around.

Seems better to be literal about it, I think, so that if any future rules or systems care about how much power a System is drawing, inert lumps of metal will behave as expected.

It taking up a full hardpoint seems like a pretty big cost in itself.
