Enlarge maximum weight mech from 1,000 to 1,500

No, that would require Liran to change all of the stats of each weapon to regain balance which would just be too time consuming to do and at what reward... none!

This has been disputed a lot, and in the end all the mythical hoarders would have much better mechs. Actually 1000 is a good balance. When I first saw this update (about a year ago) from infinite weight I hated it. After a while, you'll get used to it.
