"That's hard to say. I think it mainly comes down to control, though. If you upgrade a mech past a certain point, a single person isn't going to be able to control it, so you're going to have to get multiple pilots in it or even install some sort of CPU assistant to make it work. At that point, it isn't a test of a single pilot's skill anymore, and it could unfairly balance things toward one competitor, so I wouldn't think they'd let things go that far. And even if some mechs are better than others, I don't think they can ever have ones that are just unfairly superior in technology, because that would take away the fun of competition."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Jareth nods and replies; "Indeed it would become unfair but how elevate sport higher level of performance if you stick weights on regarding advancement? True those better sponsored pilots get more advanced tech, parts and mech models to use and give them advantage already. Will it become similar like olympic sports? So that to compete you must not use steroids even if they increase the physical performance. So far what I had seen tech just continues go higher and higher, the much rumored match which we both skipped tells this much; MBF is more blending in becoming a test ground for new science tech than sport itself.<br/><br/>But that's why I think like in olympics there should be specific branch which focus on human athletes who pushes on biological limits of human body with science and medicine there should be other branch for 'all natural' athletes with no added stuff. Same with MBF they should split average model mechs from super advanced ones. Altough what is advanced and which is average is harder to measure. Some would say my mech is advanced when in truth it's pretty ancient model with just unique quirks."
