*severe coughing noises*
I live!
Sorry for my long absence. I got pulled into family drama, moved out, lost my job, got sick, that sort of stuff.
Here's the link to the thread on the Mech Anchoring System, as promised.
https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=80579.msg1911951#msg1911951I've also got a few more proposals...
-
Maglev vehicles: A side-grade to conventional hovercraft. Faster, more energy efficient, easier to pilot, significantly quieter, safer for bystanders, and they can theoretically operate in vacuum... But they have a huge downside: They only work on compatible terrain,
no exceptions. For this reason, they are not even remotely suitable for battlefield use. (As a second downside, they also have a lower tonnage limit.)
-
Multi-armed mechs: You can thank somebody else for this. I'll get in touch with them and we can write up a separate thread.
-
Lumber microwave: A giant machine that microwaves lumber. If you stick conventional infantry in it, they die pretty much immediately.
-
Waste compactor: Similar to the previously proposed car crusher, but perhaps a bit more generalized.
-
Supercritical oxidation tank: Shove stuff in here to make it go away.
