I was afraid they were going to do things that were unreasonable with the RISC gear.
The repeating TSEMP is pretty nasty but actually this one bothers me a lot also..
R.I.S.C. Armor-Piercing Explosive Rounds
Ok it gets ARMOR Piercing and 2 damage to every unit in base contact for a WHOLE lot cheaper than just armor piercing. It only fails on a 1 or 2 and is destroyed on a 1.
It just doesn't sit well with me.. Any other opinions?

It's what... 22 points? It's 17 points cheaper than "Explosive Rounds", and much more useful. It'll be something everyone will want, because it combines AP and Anti-P (vs vehicles too) in the same gear slot. It's probably not a "game breaker" the way the Twins were, but it will be a "must-have" item the way the SS Arrow IV tanks were.

I do think that they are making the RISC gear a lot cheaper than the previous gears!

CHeaper, and they do more. In exchange for what... giving your opponent points? The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. I do think that they are making the RISC gear a lot cheaper than the previous gears! |

I agree. It also makes the game much more Luck dependent which I don't care for!

That may unfortunately be the point... make kewl gunz for the kiddies, to attract new players for which "Battletech" means "Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries". I agree. It also makes the game much more Luck dependent which I don't care for! |

Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries was interesting but it wasn't Battletech  |

The only thing scaring me about the risk gear is that there doesn't seem to be any real risk involved. 19pts and I get a beastly gear that can double my range and IF I roll a one it goes away...big deal. IF it did damage to me when I rolled that one then we'd be talking! That's what I envisioned RISK gear to be like.
Power creep power creep
Creeps me out man!

I am also concerned about the power creep. That is what scares me!
