What are hard points?
Hard points are places on a Mech (or any other vehicle) where only specific things can hooked up and used. Basically if you have a Missile Rack, you can now only put missiles in it. If the hard point can only take projectile weapons then all you can put in that slot is weapons that fire ammo. If it can only take laser weapons then all you can put in that slot is lasers weapons. There are some hard points that are called Omni which means that they can take any type of weapon at all, wheather it be missile, laser or projectile. Not everyone is happy with hard points it does help to make everything more realistic looking. No more seeing anything but missiles being fired out of the missile racks.
