So, as I pack up my final things to depart the bay I chance upon Mechwarrior 4 and, being the enthusiast for old games that I am, embark on a multi-day journey of getting my arse handed to me by Cannon as we spar back in forth in our various striding robot thingies of doom.

Gosh I think, as I slap my Clan LBX 20 onto my Inner Sphere mech. How -nice- it would be if I didn't need to ever hear about an OORP loadout ever again ever. How lovely it would be if a gun was just a ER laser or a laser or a tachyon or a what have you.

I understand one of the core things behind Freelancer and Disco is that certain groups have certain guns and some guns are better for some things and are balanced for certain ships and so on and so forth but...

In my deepest dreams, those not involving pits that swelter with forbidden desire realized, I dream of a mod where I never see a sanction report about player A using Y guns with X ship. A mod where we've just got a bunch of guns and you use whatever seems like the best thing to use. No more Gaian Angel. Just a gun with some stats on it. Use it if you wanna.

Granted that would likely end up being a mod of Wyrms. But there you have it.
