I looked through the 1.01 Terrestrial edition and I can't for the life of me figure out how a custom frame's weight is defined. Is it by a maximum number of columns/rows in its grid, or by its total HP? How small is too small for an Ultra? How much HP can a Light mech have before it stops being Light? Etc.
I also don't know how players place armor on a custom frame. At the moment, the only way I can figure out how to get armored squares is to take the Bandit prebuilt or a Heavy/Ultra frame. I assume it's tied to HP total, but are there limits on where and what shape the armor can be? Do armored cells have to be orthogonally adjacent? How many do I get, and when do I get reinforced versus normal? Is it tied to frame weight, and if so, see above because how do I define my custom frame's weight to begin with?
Thanks for putting Celestial Bodies out there. I'm excited to see where it goes!
