Alright, the only torso that I have is Lava Scope, and I've fused it to level 12, without buying... and it's a pain to work with. I've looked at the Ultra Spade's stats, since it's known to be the best torso in the game. Ultra Spade is 364 weight, while Lava Scope is 369. Ultra Spade has +28 hp and 150 energy and 110 heat. Lava Scope has 90 energy and 150 heat. In the end, Ultra Spade is a little more op. I suggest making the Lava Scopes energy 110 instead of 90. This would balance it with the Ultra Spade fairly well. I just think that the Ultra Spade is getting more use than other torsos. Making the Lava Scopes energy to 110 would make it acceptable for the use of heat. One of the best parts of SM is exploring new builds. Unfortunately, Lava Scopes only successful build now is the standard physical mech. I would like to see it useable for heat, or maybe even energy. Thank you for putting this idea into consideration.

Shouldn't this be posted in the Super Mechs Game Suggestions?

And nice idea.

Not every torso is made to be able to support every type of mech.

The reason for 90 energy is the fact that heat mechs, (arguably the best type in the game) are handed fairly easily with it's massive heat stat (the best in the game).

If it's energy capacity where to risen, so would it's weight, which is calculated last through a formula in which all other stats are pulled into.

I think Lava Scope must have 408 hp and 364 kg
90 nrg cap is enough because of cooling

I dissagree with you when you say that lavascope only has potential as a physical - though that deffinately is it's strong suit.

since they ahev removed the energy requirement from the rocket drone and many rocket weapoins had none to begin with you could make quite a nice rocket mech with the lavascope considering a rocket mech would have to worry quite a bit more about his heat capacity than its energy.

I think if we were to buff the lavascope the best way would to be either to give it some built in electric resistance or extra bullet capacity
