Customizing a Dragoon AEM-02
« on: 31 August 2017, 22:33:26 »
I've hit a wall trying to figure out where the rest of the med lasers go and just how much AC/20 ammo it carries.  Anyone have any enlightenment?  Making another 3100's Comstar lance and decided to go with the older version as found from a cache instead of the 05C.  I might kitbash one in the future, as it is.  :)

Okay, so I started by entering the AEM-01 into SSW, then pulling the weapons.

Assume the ERPPC stays in the right arm. If you pull the one ferro-fibrous crit from the left arm, the AC-20 fits there. The MLs? You could stick one in each side torso in the holes left from the  jump jets, the remaining three in the right arms, and the SPL in the CT ammo hole.

Which doesn't account for the fact that this leaves exactly zero tons for AC ammo.

Is there any reason why we haven't seen an official RS for the two variants? :-\

There have been no record sheet releases for anything outside of products where they come as part of the package (XTROs and Turning Points)  since the TRO:VA industrial mechs PDF in 2014.

I've seen this in megamek,  but unless i can verify it as canon, I'm hesitant to use it.  There's another source i saw that places them all in the arm as well.

Paul had posted the "record sheets" on here years ago. They had the locations of all of the equipment. That post has either been deleted or been lost. Either way, it fits the description in the TRO of retaining the ER PPC, and trading the jump jets and LB-10X for an AC/20, 5 medium lasers, and a small pulse.

If you're wanting an official record sheet, it's unlikely to ever be made. At least not anytime soon. I've never heard of any Star League products being on the horizon and I recall Herb saying they were done with that era. So what we have is, likely, what we have.

It would be too easy to release that RS on the website like we got the Long Tom trailers ...
