Title: Retrotech superheavy components: Primitive superheavy cockpit and Internals.
Post by: Izzy193 on 15 March 2024, 09:32:26

This is a simple concept for super heavies of the retro tech variety: the cockpit type and internal structure basically are heavier but otherwise functionally identical to their non-retro tech/primitive counterparts.


Primitive superheavy cockpit: Same in function as a superheavy cockpit but it weighs 8 tons rather than the standard superheavy cockpits 4 tons. Otherwise follows the same basic gameplay rules as the normal superheavy cockpit.

Primitive Superheavy Internal Structure: Same in basic function to the standard superheavy internal structure, but weighs 20% more(rounded down) per a 5 tons over 100 tons. Otherwise functionally acts identically to superheavy internal structure in terms of gameplay rules.

The canon primitive internal structure is the same weight as a standard internal structure, but more fragile… and superheavy mechs already lose a lot of their tonnage to their internal structure.
