Here's something to fix.  I get hit with ammo explosions after I've expended
all my ammo.  

Simple fix: 

if (ammo)
	ExplodeAmmo(crit_location);

Better fix: 

if (ammo[crit_location])
	ExplodeAmmo(crit_location);


Also, is the limit of 10 tons of ammo a FASA thing, or an Activision thing?
I've found AC/20's Verrrrrry useful, but they gobble ammo.  I was
disappointed to find I had a limit of 10 tons (50 rounds).  

Same goes for the limit on weapons.  I like Small lasers.  But there's a
maximum of ten weapons or so for the whole mech.  :( 

Gotta coupla others, here -- 

It's frustrating that when I try to go in reverse (from full stop), my mech
likes to accelerate FORWARD up to almost 50 mph first.  I can understand 
a delay for deceleration when I'm already moving forward, but this is
ridiculous. 

This one's certainly for FASA, not for Activision:  How come bigger mechs
don't have more critical slots?  I mean, come on -- they're BIGGER.  a
100-ton mech should have a LOT more room for weapons than a 20-tonner.  It's
not just a matter of how much mass it can carry... 

I think that's it for now... 

Great game!
