Ive played the mechwarrior games (not cannon) and read 50+ of the novels and mechs have infrared and light amplification abilities so, the +2-3 modifier on full moon or moonless night has always bothered me. If we change our mech's sensors over to IR I wish it would reduce the modifier to maybe +1 I think would be reasonable, maybe as an unofficial rule in megamek. Does anyone else think a mech wouldnt be as effected by low light conditions to warrant a +3 modifier?

I've always thought the low-light rules were pretty terrible. As a result I just don't use them much or limit it to the rules for dusk/dawn lighting (+1).

Exactly thats what I do, 2-5=dusk/dawn, 6-12 is daylight. Also, why is 0.3.23 having you perform MASC rolls when sprinting more than possible when the mech doesnt have MASC (using intro rules yr3025). 3.16 never did that.

Aw crap, I just deleted that campaign and downloaded 3.21 because they said on the bg.battletech forums that version works better with AtB. I was on Ziliang with gravity of 1.2 tac ops sprinting, introductory rules and it happened with every unit. If i clicked more hexes that what a mech could normally sprint it would show the +3 and ask to do a MASC roll when my mechs didnt have MASC. Was launching from mekhq 3.23. If gravity was <1.0 it would make sense except for the dialog of "unit" attempting to sprint with MASC/supercharger but, not for a 1.2g world. If I duplicate it on this new campaign ill attach files sorry about that.

Ok in 3.21 during a megamek battle it is allowing the option to sprint faster than possible with a PSR for MASC when the mechs are not equipped. I do have the option checked to check before all PSR with MASC/supercharger. But, that should only be if they have that equipment. What files specifically should I attach? I never actually perform the movement (green) pilots.

Yeah ive been watching SOA lately and I think Ron would make a good elemental maybe Malthus I think his name was, the Jade Falcon elemental who allied with Kai but, hes too old so, wouldnt be realistic for the clans.
