Laser Monster
« on: 11 October 2017, 06:40:38 »
In spired by the Wolf's Dragoon thread. Armor is pretty weak for a 100-tonner, but there are enough heat sinks to allow the use of all four large lasers at a run with no heat build up, so I'm good with it,

It's also the 137-A Omega (or very close to) from BattleTechnology #14.

When I was playing around with the design myself, I got basically the same.. But I used only 31 SHS in order to keep the full 18 tons of armor.
Being able to run and fire four LL's at only +3 heat is still very good for the time, and a close in barrage of 2 LL's and 6 ML's is only +5.
The main battery can be kept on a 4/3 pattern for steady use, or even a 4/4/3 pattern if you are willing to ride the scale close.

This is actually a quite respectable unit in 3025. decent armor, fairly good heat handling (just drop a laser every 3rd turn or so), and enough range that the enemy can't just ignore it due to its low speed. Just bring a couple of LRM units along and you're going to present the enemy with some rather difficult choices.
