I'd view it less as a detriment to the other players and more as a tool for story things. or as a way to keep me in check I guess. Hopefully that second one doesn't come up that often.

Its also safe to assume that this explosion would down buildings and stuff. I found a calculator tnt so I might run a few numbers through that and make this more complicated than it needs to be. I'll update it with the rest in a bit though

Edit: So yeah... if I'm doing this right the MOAB bomb, america's largest conventional bomb, would have a blast radius of over 	1000 meters and the reflected pressure, which I'm pretty sure is what would affect the mechs at the end of its range would be over 4psi, which can still kill people. The chart I'm using puts, fatalities may occur at 3psi and fatalities are common at 5psi. This of course assumes that the mech disperses no pressure at all and that it is all transferred to the pilot, which is unlikely, but I don't know how exactly yet.

Edit again: oops, that was not psi, that was kpa, which I don't fully understand yet, but represents significantly less. So yeah that 4kpa then would do basically nothing. in fact you be safe from death basically entirely, discounting shrapnel, at about 132m and would take basically no damage of any kind at about 421 meters. Again this is assuming that the mech transfers all of this force to the pilot, and that the mech is affected by reflected pressure in the same way as a building. for fun, the range at which you basically just will die is within 95-96 meters of the blast. again this assume no protection of any kind and lets be real, these machines are getting explosives shot at them all the time so assuming the pilot is supposed to survive explosions on and near the mech of a significant size then they would have protection of some sort.
