Some prefered designd for conversion questions

[Neufeld]

Some questions for a different type of design preference discussion.

1. Playing Clan, which Inner Sphere designs would you prefer to make a Clan-tech version of?

2. Playing Inner Sphere, which Clan designs would you prefer to make a Inner Sphere-tech version of?

3. Which non-omni mechs would you like to make an omni-version of?

I wish the Maneri Domini was clantech. C3i and Clantech LPLs and TC using the MD rules! [drool]

I wish the Kodiak had IS Level 1 tech.

And I further wish that the Primative Industrial mechs of yore was built with Omnitech.

PLG-4Z built w/ Clantech. I bet I could find a way to stick IJJs on there, and maybe a CERPPC too. Hmmm... gimme a second. Had to fiddle a lot, but I got a Stealth-armoured, 3/5/5 mech with a Torso-Mounted Cockpit, 2 Gauss Rifles and 3 CERML. If you drop the Stealth armour once they get into CERML range, you'll be heat-neutral too. Had to make some sacrifices like a CXLFE and putting the GRs in the arms though.

1. Playing Clan, which Inner Sphere designs would you prefer to make a Clan-tech version of?

Nightstar. Saggittaire. Archer. Mongoose. Wraith. Grand Titan. Warlord.

2. Playing Inner Sphere, which Clan designs would you prefer to make a Inner Sphere-tech version of?

Nova Prime. The Komodo and Black Hawk-KU just miss the mark.

3. Which non-omni mechs would you like to make an omni-version of?

Probably the Orion IIC- I'd like a SFE 75-tonner with full armour and a decent weapons array.

Some questions for a different type of design preference discussion.

1. Playing Clan, which Inner Sphere designs would you prefer to make a Clan-tech version of?

70 Ton Warhammer (its a classic, and I like the Classics), or a Shadowhawk?Griffin/Wolverine (though the Osprey joins them now).

2. Playing Inner Sphere, which Clan designs would you prefer to make a Inner Sphere-tech version of?

Heh, I'd say I would love to see an IS version of the Conjurer or the Vapor Eagle, though something would get lost in translation.

3. Which non-omni mechs would you like to make an omni-version of?

Thanotos, Argos, Osprey, I could probably name others, but that's a start.

Some questions for a different type of design preference discussion.

1. Playing Clan, which Inner Sphere designs would you prefer to make a Clan-tech version of?

King Crab. I do one with UAC/20, LB20, ER PPC and 2 LRM-15. My favourite clan upgrade.

2. Playing Inner Sphere, which Clan designs would you prefer to make a Inner Sphere-tech version of?

Probably the Summoner Prime.
Though I wouldn't mind an IS Thresher either. That mech is sexy.

3. Which non-omni mechs would you like to make an omni-version of?

Hmmn. No preference. Omni mechs have never impressed me. Or rather, I like the omnis, like the Summoner and Hellbringer but I don't typically design omnis because I find the idea kinda boring.

1: Hatamoto-Chi, Dragon, Panther.
2: Supernova.
3: Hatamoto-Chi, Dragon, Supernova.

1) If I make a IIC it had better have been avaliable to the SLDF, an Enforcer IIC is just silly.  that said I sometimes make Omnimech configurations that emulate sphereoid designs

2) I generally don't, it is a waste of effort.  I instead try to maximize the innovate potential of sphere technology

3) Light- Panther, Medium- Centurion, Heavy Warhammer (did it already, called the Lioness) Assault- Grand Crusader

[Neufeld]

I managed to make Inner Sphere versions of Kodiak, Nova Prime, Conjurer, Vapor Eagle, Summoner Prime, Thresher and Supernova.
The designs are in this thread: http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,2582.0.html

I am happy with most of them, except the Kodiak. Thanks for the suggestions!

EDIT:
Now I have finished turning the Inner Sphere mechs into Clan versions.
http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,2585.0.html
Nightstar, Saggittaire, Archer, Mongoose, Wraith, Grand Titan, Warlord, Warhammer, Shadow Hawk, Griffin, Not-named, Osprey, King Crab, Hatamoto-Chi, Dragon and Panther all with Clan tech.

Creating omni-mechs up next, but that will take time.

[Railan Sradac]

1: Hatamoto-Chi, Dragon, Panther.
2: Supernova.
3: Hatamoto-Chi, Dragon, Supernova.

To be fair, the Timber Wolf D is basically a 5-tons lighter Hatamoto-Chi that runs 5/8. Not a whole lot of difference.

Ost series.  Seriously... they are BEGGING for this.

Yes, now imagine an omni-version of the HTM-28T.
Which would have 11.5t more pod weight - more if you'd give the HTM an XL Engine and/or Endo (21t more with both).
Besides, the IS lacks an 80t omni design.
Lets say it'd end up as something like this for the prime config (44.5t pod space, 42 free crits):

Code: [Select]

80T, 3/5/3, XLFE, Std; 15.5T Armor; 16 DHS; 1 C3S, 1 SPL, 2 ERML, 2 HPPC, 2 SSRM6Definitely more firepower than that timber wolf of yours.  :P
Better manoeuvrability too because of the Jump Jets.

So.... a Night Gyr?   ;D

[Onisuzume]

So.... a Night Gyr?   ;D

A very much better looking Night Gyr, thank you very much.
Really... this, or this?
My vote definitely goes to the latter.

[Fear Factory]

The Night Gyr doesn't need looks to win.

[Onisuzume]

The Night Gyr doesn't need looks to win.

Indeed, it is simple too much fail to even attempt to win.  :P

Back onto topic, however, I disagree with some of the conversion decisions made in some of the threads.

Which ones?

[truetanker]

70 Ton Warhammer (its a classic, and I like the Classics), or a Shadowhawk?Griffin/Wolverine (though the Osprey joins them now).

Well now... all of these are NOT royals, but Brain cache upgrades for second-line and solahma troops.

Warhammer-6R ( C ) A Clan-tech retrofit of the venerable Warhammer intended for second-line and solahma troops does not alter the 'Mechs structural components but replaces most of the Inner Sphere-tech weaponry of the original WHM-6R with Clan equivalents. The PPCs are replaced with Large Pulse Lasers, the SRM-6 is upgraded to a Streak SRM-6, and all of the lasers are upgraded to ER Medium and ER Small Lasers. The Machine Guns are not mentioned, and therefore presumably remain the Inner Spheroid variety.

Shadowhawk-2H ( C ) A Clan-tech retrofit of the classic Shadow Hawk taken from Brian Caches and intended for second-line and solahma troops, the Shadow Hawk C replaces all Inner Sphere-tech weaponry with Clan equivalents but leaves the structural components of the SHD-2H unaltered. The Shadow Hawk C mounts an LB 5-X AC, an LRM-5 equipped with Swarm LRM munitions, a Streak SRM-2, and an ER Medium Laser.

There isn't a Griffin - ( C ), try the IIC version. Thers is no Wolverine - ( C ) either: Although no designated IIC variant of the Wolverine exists, technically the Conjurer (Hellhound) is the Wolverine-IIC in all but name. The Clans would not name a BattleMech like the Not-Named Clan, however, and elected to rename the redesigned 'Mech that nevertheless is nothing but a reworked Wolverine concept.
