    Greetings MechSpecs!

    Due to an influx of new members and builds, this site has continued to grow, and everyone here has loved it! However, there has also been some confusion on Thread Titles and Thread Content. In order to fix this, we have thought very hard and every moderator present agreed that something had to be done to correct a few of these issues. This is what we have come up with to ensure your searching and browsing experience can be the best there is here today.

    "Alternative builds can include changes to anything that isn't the weapon loadout. An exception are weapons of the same weight, type, and crit slot size."

    • Change hardpoint locations: ALT
    • Change Engine rating for different armor, ammo, or equipment: ALT
    • Change LL for ERLL: ALT
    • Change LL for LPL: NO ALT
    • Change AC2 for AC5: NO ALT
    • Change cAC2 for cUAC2: NO ALT
    An example of the thread title would be: SHD-2D "Example" (2x SRM6, 1x AC10, 2x MLas, XL300) +Alt as long as no weapons changed in the builds.

    An example of a thread that would be deleted/moderated: SHC-B "Bad Example" (2x cERLL, cECM) +Alt if it included a weapons change to cLPL in alternative builds.

    Also, take note of the correct abbreviations for Auto Cannons.
    • cUAC20: GOOD
    • cU/AC20: BAD
    • LB-X-10: BAD
    • LBX10: GOOD
    This will ensure proper search engine function, and a better experience when browsing. Thank you for reading, and remember, keep your mech bays clean!
