MMI Mech pilot mining difficulties

[GunHog]

MMIs/Positbrain pilots are unable to mine effectively due to it being impossible for them to utilize mining scanners. Ripley mechs can be equipped with mining scanners, but they are useless to non-human pilots, as they cannot in any way obtain meson vision.

still kind of shitty. maybe an integrated meson scanner on the mech? and it realy is an issue. still probably will need to wait till after the freeze.

Technicality, an MMI is just a human brain. They are not bounded by laws and therefore if placed in a mech, they are basically humans with a robot body except only the brain is human

[Niknakflak]

Except MMIs have the ability to be placed in a mining mech and mine to limited functionality due to lack of meson and Ian doesnt have hands. Two different things. If they are going to mine anyway and have the ability to, might as well not make them useless.

Cyborg Mining module is good enough for mining and even has mesons scanner!

Play a mining borg for two hours and say to us, with a straight and honest reply that it is "good enough for mining".

It's idiotic to apply even more restrictions to MMI mechs as much as there already are. There is no reason to make MMI mechs even more unappealing than they already are and actively discourage the usage of a cool feature. Ideally mesons would be integrated into Ripley as they should be in the HUD options for borgs.

[Niknakflak]

That is your opinion xxalpha and its irrelevant because the function to be an MMI mech exists and is intended so it might as well be fixed to not be a useless mechanic that already exists and is intentional.

Wow muh grammar

[Cheridan]

Being an MMI mech is so bad in terms of bugs and gameplay issues I'd rather just see the feature taken out so that people don't have to suffer through it.

But I like being a brain doctor ;_;
I mean a brain inside an Odysseus.
