Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Ideas for improved and economical units for lower tech Worlds.
« Last post by Primus203 on Today at 23:50:00 »The comments got me to looking at my designs again and I realized that I forgot long endurance harasser units so I present three harasser units 2 built on previously listed frames. All three units have similar weapons loadouts an AC-2 with a ton of flak and one of standard. All units are intended to be used at max range in groups of 10 or more focus firing on one target. Elite units have AP instead of standard AC-2.
Lupus Light Tank- Built on the Bradley frame removes infantry compartment. Crew compartment is moved to where the infantry compartment was to make space for larger engine and one more ton of ammo, less armor. Slowest of the three units but least vulnerable to motive hits.

Ground Combat / Re: Help/Recommendations Requested - Main Battle Tank (50T or less)
« Last post by Charistoph on Today at 23:45:49 »An additional +1 for the Goblin from me.
The Vedette is too much a sniper in its base consideration, with nothing to back it up. It's basically a heavier Scorpion.
The Goblin still carries a gun that can punch holes in its main SW configuration, then has 2 more that can fill it up even more depending on if you want it from downtown or up in the grill. While the Armor isn't amazing, it's still pretty good for its weight. Toss in a few sassy squads of Infantry to be spotters or ambush harassers, and you have a decent medium tank.
Of course, this is coming from someone who hasn't actually deployed any, yet. I will be deploying a Lance-worth this next Friday as part of a Clan campaign OpFor, along with a few other tanks for them to blow up. I searched up and down what was available to figure out what to consider, and these look like the best option.

Ground Combat / Re: Favorite hauler for assault BA (Inner Sphere, Clan, and Comstar/WoB)?
« Last post by worktroll on Today at 23:35:01 »Meanwhile WT mentioned the Mantef-D above which is a beast & I love it, but, I also don't own the mini & would find some issue with justifying my cheapo mercs having access to them with their "new" (for the CI/CW eras) production limited house access & pricey XL engine when those mercs can use ICE powered cheapo Maxims/Karnovs that are more effective than the Heavy APC lines but also not touching the XL-HeavyOmni pricetag either.
All my Manteuffels are MW:DA minis, which are reasonably sized enough for use, especially with Alpha Strike.
The Ds each carry 2 squads of Kopis internally, and each tank carries a Kopi squad on the outside. Kopis converted from MW:DA Centaurs.

Problem: Damage value and heat for the ER PPC (Clan) w/ Capacitor is listed as 15 at all ranges.
Solution: Change damage value and heat to 20 each to account for the extra 5 heat and damage added by the Capacitor.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Upcoming Releases XXIX: First Annual 29th Birthday
« Last post by Scuttlefish on Today at 22:57:15 »Lmao. This is the kind of answer that's why CGL can't shake their image as a fly-by-night bunch of amateurs.
Seems like a perfectly sensible answer given the minis are produced by two different groups?

Off Topic / Re: Anyone else remember Hypernauts?
« Last post by Daemion on Today at 22:57:08 »It is too bad that it didn't get more optioned out of it. Having watched it all the way through, now, it is much better and less hokey than Power Rangers of the time. And there is a great Mech battle during the first half of the two-part finale.

Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Is it time for an Underwater Rules Overhaul (?)
« Last post by Retry on Today at 22:54:46 »Nah, it effectively reduces the water game to rocket tag between quasi Savannah Master expies (and as an accidental side effect means the existing canon submarine designs, from the Manta & Moray to the Neptune, nonsensible in retrospect
Brown and green water warfare feels very one-note since it ends up boiling down to who has more Submarine Masters with few other tactical considerations. I tried to rectify this with navy-themed equipment years ago, and while it helped a bit with variety it still fell short (Submarine Master Superiority remained).
