Title: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 02 February 2018, 22:06:03: Hey folks. Rather than clutter up the entire board here with my ideas, I thought I'd follow the group and just make a single thread for everything I come up with.

And thus, first on our list today...

A Clan Jade Falcon totem mech...and not the one you might think.

-----------

The Atlas IIC is produced by Clan Jade Falcon pretty much in response to the production of the Orion IIC by Clan Wolf. The Wolves jealously guarded the Orion IIC but the Faclons, not wanting to have their ~~Pryde~~ pride insulted, decided to make a similar limited production run of Mechs meant to be handed out. Thus they chose the mech at the heart of the infamous DeChavilier Massacre. Basing the Atlas IIc (Not to be confused with the Atlas II used by the founder of the Clans) on Aaron DeChavilier's famous mech, the Falcon's produced a mere handful of these mechs and handed them to ristars in the Touman who showed exceptional promise.

It maintains the same engine as the original, with no Endo-Steel or Ferro-Fibrous armor used. Instead lighter Clan weapons allow for more weaponry to be carried. Armed with a massive Class 20 LBX Autocannon in the right torso (3 tons of ammo), 2 20-tube LRM racks in the left torso (Four tons of ammo), four ER medium lasers and a Streak-6 pack (1 ton of ammo), the mech also carries a flamer concealed in the skull-like grill to allow the 100 monster to 'breath' fire at any poor infantry caught in its path. It plods along at the same speed as the original and sports the exact same amount of armor, all that the Chassis can carry.

Eagle Craft Group was able to build these mechs as they simply adjusted the production line for the Wakazashi as they wound that production line down and produced the few Atlas IIcs the Falcons wanted. Painted usually in bright jade green with golden decals, the mechs are instantly recognizable on the battlefield but the Falcon's have been extremely judicious in making sure none fall into hands other than their own.

Post by: Greatclub on 03 February 2018, 08:03:03: Yep, that's an Atlas IIC. All the high-points of the original, but better.

I'd delete a ton of LRM ammo (Unfortunate loss,)

Put the SRM ammo in the torso slot freed (Really hesitant about explosive ammo in the leg after a couple Awesome de-leggings)

Put a double heat sink in each leg (always, if possible. Crit padding for actuators and a bit of extra heat dump if you're in water)

Use the last ton to add an ECM, a laser AMS, or a final heat sink. I'd go for the AMS, but that's because I'm staring down a lot of Streak SRM 6 these days; YMMV
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 03 February 2018, 20:06:12: Actually I considered that and I felt that having an oblivious weakness that a smart pilot would exploit would add some character to a "bad guy" mech such as an Atlas IIc.

Anyways, on with the show.

This is one design I've had in mind for quite a while. Have a Combine pilot salvage a Lyran Fafnir and then find most of the weaponry is damaged or useless so he has the frame rebuilt with what he has on hand.

While it doesn't have the sheer amazing KAPOW factor of the dual heavy gauss rifles the thought of throwing eighty missiles downrange for fifteen rounds kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside >:D
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 06 February 2018, 15:05:23: Ah, and here we go with my first Mix-Tech mech.

Constructed in 3145 after the formation of the "Wolf Empire", the Wolfhound IIC is a nod to Khan Kell of Clan Wolf-in-Exile after the sundering of Clan Wolf was healed. As such, the mech is not normally issued to front line units but rather is deliberately designed for headhunting and search and destroy missions.

First, the mech has a top speed of 97kph, considered bog-standard as far as 35 ton light mechs are concerned. The armament is changed from the original "Grinner" in that it mounts an ER Large Laser as its standard weapon with three ER Medium Lasers in the same torso arrangement. What IS different is where the Clans engaged in some...lets say interesting ideas.

There is no way to get around this. The Wolfhound IIC mounts Inner Sphere designed Stealth Armor. Using a Clan ECM system modified to save weight the mech also mounts an active probe to help it find its targets. As it mounts only energy weapons the mech can stay away from supply lines for a considerable amount of time. Now, the mech doesn't mount jumpjets, an annoyance to some Clan Warriors but as it is meant to decapitate enemy leaders the mech is usually only issued to Warriors who are pragmatic enough to utilize this machine to its fullest extent.

Post by: AldanFerrox on 07 February 2018, 21:13:02: This Wolfhound IIC version should work pretty well with the Wulfen which also has Stealth Armor (although it is much, much faster).

I think I prefer my Wolfhound IIC...slower yes but it has a nice amount of firepower and equipment...

I noticed that the Federated Suns jumped right from the Enforcer to the Enforcer III.

Where was the Enforcer II?

Well...uh...maybe there is a reason you don't find Enforcer IIs running around. Maybe cause the design is just not well liked?

The Enforcer II is often treated as a bad Banshee knockoff, as the design has problems. It has a massive engine but for 100 tons it doesn't have that much punch...
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 12 February 2018, 19:29:06: Ah, the Crab. I've always liked this little 50 tonner, likely due to the flashbulb nature or the interesting design. I only liked it more when MWO put out that awesome art for it that fixed the only problem I had, the damn funny looking claws.

Also, when looking around in SSW, I noticed that it lists all versions of the Variable Speed Pulse Laser as having the AI quality. Is that a typo?

So, I thought up this little idea. Two of the largest VSPLs, likely salvage from the smoking remains of the Jihad (or surplus in a warehouse somewhere), mated to Angel ECM for urban ambushes. The three flamers are there to tell PBIs to bugger off.

-----

Built more as an experiment than anything, the Queen Crab battlemech was meant to straddle the difference between the original Crab Medium and the King Crab Assault.
At a hefty 75 tons, the Queen Crab is optimized for hunting battlearmor and other close range targets. It does this with an array of ten small pulse lasers fitted with X-Pulse modules and, oddly, 2 regular small pulse lasers. The mech also sports a Donal PPC in the right torso, providing heavy hitting firepower and the minimum range problem is solved by the battery of pulse lasers. The mech is also Corsara's experiment with the Capellan TSM, which allows the mech to suddenly boost up to the speeds of its lighter counterpart. The mech also has an Angel ECM system, ensuring that any battle in an Urban environment the mech is going to mess with any advanced technology. Finally the mech is also designed for a 120 meter jump distance via four jumpjets, 1 mounted in each leg and 1 in each side torso. Also, the designers apparently thought this mech might be deployed on extended patrols and fitted behind the cockpit is a half-ton of cargo space, often turned into a makeshift sleeping quarters.

I think the Guardian ECM has better utility in most games by disrupting enemy Fire Control Systems and C3 networks.
And I really like your take on the upgraded Crab. It's survivable thanks to the SFE and the maxed out armor, and it can run and fire both of it's main weapons without overheating. Looks like a perfect scout-hunter to me.

And now, a rather Combine take on a fan favorite (unless you're one of the weirdo's that refuses to see reason)

Presenting an updated Urbanmech!

The Urbanmech II is a Draconis Combine revamp of the old infighting design, adding five tons total to the weight of the machine. While the Original Urbanmech made in the Combine has a massive MRM-30 launcher this new version is a flashbulb with no explosive weapons.

Instead this machine mounts a Lords Light 5 sawed off PPC in the right arm, providing plenty of knockdown firepower against any targets it might find in its sights. Along with the SN-PPC the machine mounts a medium laser in a rotating mount on top of the rounded mech. In the right arm a Hotspot flamer sits inside the claw like hand for convincing infantry to go away.

However, it must be noted that this mech is...well...uh...slower than the original Urbanmech. How does it manage to be even slower than the original slow-speed champion? How about fifteen tons of Durallex Forge Hardened Armor? While even slower the mech still mounts enough jumpjets to somehow get it 60 meters at a time, and it can withstand massive amounts of damage, often taking hits that would cripple a mech twice its weight and it still keeps coming.

The Urbanmech II is a Draconis Combine revamp of the old infighting design, adding five tons total to the weight of the machine. While the Original Urbanmech made in the Combine has a massive MRM-30 launcher this new version is a flashbulb with no explosive weapons.

Looks like a bigger version of the UM-R93 UrbanMech from XTRO: Republic Volume 2 which had 12 tons of Hardened Armor and a Plasma Rifle.

Ooh, sounds nasty to tangle with. I did think of using a Plasma Rifle rather than a Snubie, but I felt only ten shots might outlast the mech so the SNPPC it was.

And now, an experiment. Normally, you guard your rear armor really well as, if you lose it, you're toast.
So how about a mech where, if the enemy is about to finally smash through your frontal armor, you flip your arms and spin around? Fitted with heavy Hardened Armor, the back of the mech is just as heavily armored as the front!

Post by: RevenVrake on 17 February 2018, 22:08:56: Ah, the Rifleman. A mech which (unless you are ~~cheating~~VERY GOOD AND TOTALLY FOLLOWING ALL THE RULES!) is somewhat of a lame duck when it comes to fighting other mechs. It is well known for its light armor, absolutely horrid heatsinks, and really rather lackluster weaponry (unless you're in an aircraft).

So, let see what in 3067 the Draconis Combine might be able to do with it? And why not try using the art of the Robotech Sentinel's version of the Macross Defender Destroid while we are at it?

Built on an upgraded RFL-3N chassis, the RFL-7K was built by the Combine to combat both the Federated Suns and Lyran Alliance, although it was mostly deployed on the border of the Suns. This was to take advantage of the fact that salvaged Davion Rifleman mechs could be used to repair their own 7K models (the idea that the Suns could do the same in reverse didn't seem to set in till it was too late). The mech disperses with projectile firing weaponry completely, its own primary armament being six Lords Light 5 Light PPCs. This was to simplify supply issues, as the mech wouldn't be carrying ammunition hungry autocannons. And with Six Light PPCs, it was judged enough to swat enemy fighters or VTOLs that might wander too close. To cool this impressive lightshow of an array the mech has an impressive sixteen freezers keeping it cool while it walks forwards and blasts away with its array. Two Small X-Pulse Lasers round out the weaponry with a typical Combine C3 Slave allowing it work with its Lancemates. As the mech uses the exact same engine as almost all other Rifleman mechs, the machine is cheap and cheerful. However, it solves one major problem of the Rifleman series. 12.5 tons of Standard Plate cover 99.5% of the machine, making it much tougher than other Rifleman models..

An Urban Combat version of the Venerable Longbow mech, usually nicknamed "Shortbow" as its massive LRM racks have been replaced with two massive MRM-40 missile racks, allowing it to chuck 80 missiles down range and in an urban environment that can cause smash a mech to pieces with a single salvo. The inexpensive ammunition is also a benefit, as reloading the entire mech costs the same a single ton of LRM ammunition.

Fitted with a torso mounted flamer to tell Infantry to go away the mech also has a typical combine C3 slave and a Guardian ECM suite to help it knock out enemy electronics.

Post by: RevenVrake on 26 February 2018, 20:06:30: Here's an Omnimech that I had an idea about for a while.

Built in the Dark Ages, this machine caused a stir by its very similar appearance to the dreaded Word of Blake Archangel Celestial. Built in the Republic of the Sphere, this machine is noted as having a similar profile to the Archangel, but it doesn't not come with the compact fusion engine or small cockpit. For that matter, none of the variants seen mount any form of C3 system (possibly intentionally so it resembles the Archangel even less)

However, the mech is often seen with the Angel ECM system fitted instead, make it almost a signature feature of this machine.

Of note, the Quebec loadout is actually not meant to be a direct underwater combatant but rather an Amphibious assault unit, to approach out of large bodies of water to assault anything built on their shores. Hence the lighter torpedo weapons in favor of three snub-nose PPCs.

We wound up fighting on a couple really built up maps, hills everywhere. Basically, we walked up to minimum range and started smashing, something the ADT was better suited to doing. I won with only one arm completely stripped of armor; thanks for the design

Huh...What was the other guy using, a Dire Wolf with only those weapons? :o Had he kept to range he would have eaten the ADT for breakfast...especially if he had a speed advantage...
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: Greatclub on 15 March 2018, 12:14:01: First, like I said, hills everywhere on the maps we used - literally the rolling hills maps. Getting in long range shots would have taken effort to position himself, and using the speed advantage would not have been easy either.

Second, he didn't even try to start the battle at long range; just wandered up and we started slugging. Which the nominal Marauder II IIC can do, but was really the wrong tactic given what he was facing. I did point out that, but my first shot was with the AC at medium range, and it went downhill for him from there.

Built from stolen components the MAD-6LT is a mobile artillery variant of the Marauder II built by Marian Arms Incorporated. The design sacrifices considerable firepower to carry the massive weapon in the right and center torsos, with its only other weapons being a pair of Parti-Kill Snubnose PPCs (likely for point defense). Built using a standard VOX 300 fusion engine (likely salvaged from old Atlas mechs) the design uses Endo-Steel components to lighten the weight. The mech is meant to be a mobile artillery support unit, with five tons of shells supplying the big 155mm gun. Fitted with the usual Jumpjets the machine can cross almost any terrain to deliver its explosive cargo.

I tried one of these. Decent mech, but it didn't FEEL like a Rifleman.

So for any subsequent ones I'll use, it'll have two tons of armor scraped off for two ppc caps, and the small pulse lasers combined into a VSPL.

Marginal armor for era, big red button for you're not sure you want to press, and heat issues? Now that's a Rifleman.

Built on Sudeten in the aftermath of the Invasion, the Thug IIC is a mech meant to use up spare parts. And by spare parts I mean the supply of standard VOX 280 engines that Clan Jade Flacon captured when they took the world. Completing the remaining Warhammer models that the factory had was completed but the facility still had a dozen or so left over engines and it was decided to make use of them in some manner.

Hence, the Thug IIC. Ironically, while the Warhammer IIC gained ten tons to put it into the Assault mech category the Thug IIC actually lost weight, putting it in its former partners spot of 70 tons. While the engines were original IS tech (aside from removing the original heat sinks and replacing them with Clan models, which explains some of the bulk of this mech which looks closer to its original IS sibling in size) the chassis and armor is pure Clan tech, with the mech sporting Endo-Steel, Ferro-Fibrous armor and even an Active Probe to help it find targets.

While slow by Clan Standards it plods along at 64 kph and oh man you don't want to be caught down range. Dual ER PPCs, twin Streak-6s and two small pulse lasers to tell infantry to go away. The mech is simple and straight-forward. Hence why it is also considered...in a day of Summoners and Timber Wolves...kinda boring...

A Modification of a Summoner Chassis produced during the Jihad, the X-TJ Summoner is also a testbed for the Talons melee weapons which the Falcon's would become so fond of. With the same engine and jumpjets propelling it the mech has increased armor plating to help with its close combat focus. The Prime model (so far the only one identified) has a similar loadout to the Summoner Prime with twin weapons and a missile rack, but the LBX autocannon has been traded for a large pulse laser and the LRM-15 is gone in favor of a Streak-6 pack. The fearsome Clan ER PPC remains. The mech also sports a light active probe and an ECM system to help in possibly a headhunter role.

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: Dave Talley on 01 June 2018, 21:42:04: I have always thought it would be better to leave the torsos/case/cooling etc locked
and make the arms plug and play, literally get to base they unplug and arm and snap in a replacement, so whether its damaged or just the wrong weapon load pop it out, pop in the new one and they can fix/replenish the armpod while the mech fights
granted for this setup would simply be a set of preplanned arms based on expected usage

Post by: RevenVrake on 05 June 2018, 19:59:54: And since I love trying to copy Clan mechs using Inner Sphere technology, here is a Thor clone.
I was tempted to call it Ragnarok after the Marvel Thor clone but decided that calling it Hammer suited it better.

This more mirrors the Grand Summoner than the original due to the Jumpjets not being hard mounted, even though the mech does more often than not mount them.

Post by: truetanker on 05 June 2018, 23:24:00: Marauder should have had the JJ's pod mounted, so you could " snap-on " the UMUs.

Also I think differently than most, so I can see this Marauder being used as a Heavy-Assault cargo carrier with a Sting! Or even as a 75-ton Firestarter!

Post by: RevenVrake on 07 June 2018, 22:03:04: Here's a fun little idea I had. During the Dark Ages, after the fortress walls up the Republic Military had a handful of Celestial omnimech wrecks and decided to put them back into service. Only handful of each mechs were rebuilt as that was all the salvage was left after Stone had most of the former Word of Blake's arsenal.

The mere half-dozen of Archangel mechs recovered had their expensive and heavy compact Fusion engines wrecked so the republic techs replaced the engine with a standard Vox model taken from old Atlas mechs. To emulate the survivability of the original mech the engine was wrapped in six tons of armor plate, which when compared to the old Compact model saved three tons. That weight savings were poured into a standard cockpit and the C3i system was replaced by a boosted C3 slave.

The Deva series recovered were the most common mechs of the Celestial series that the republic managed to salvage. Unlike the original mech the design uses a regular Gyro that is armored and the C3i system is switched out for a boosted C3 slave. The weight savings are used to retrofit the cockpit.

The Preta refits are a little more involved as the mech doesn't really gain or lose that much pod space but it does radically have different movement as the engine has been downgraded but a supercharger has been fitted in a side torso. The armor, which on the original was at 94% coverage, has been increased to 99% on this version, which is not a lot already on a 45 ton mech.

The Seraph mech was redesigned into a command mech, sporting a full command console and boosted C3 Master to allow Republic forces to stay coordinated. While piloting these refit Word of Blake mechs was unpopular, they were still powerful and their reputations on the battlefield only added to the intimidation factor whenever these things appeared.
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 01 July 2018, 00:41:41: Ah, the Stalker II

Noted for its combo of Heavy Armor and Torso Cockpit, the mech was a walking missile battery with its dual ELRM-10s and a lightshow of medium lasers.

After repairing their factory Irian produced a second version of the assault battlemech, using several different components to produce a medium to short range brawler. With their alliance with the Dragon's Fury proceeding the company decided to focus on a traditional Kurita favorite and fitted the mech with a heavy PPC in the center torso as the cockpit had been moved back to the head. To help protect the whole machine two extra tons of hardened armor were added as well as seven extra double heat sinks. The targeting computer remains, although it ballooned in size due to the heavy particle cannon. The head was fitted with a C3 Slave unit as well as a whole extra ton of armor around the cockpit to protect it.

Post by: RevenVrake on 02 July 2018, 18:27:41: When Clan Ghost Bear captured early examples of Hardened Armor, they were intrigued by the possibilities of a mech able to take enormous amounts of damage and still keep coming on. But, to their dismay, Hardened Armor and Omnitechnology do not mix. But Clan Ghost Bear does field a massive regular Battlemech, its one of their Iconics.

This Kodiak also 'features' (Some would say its cursed) with an absolutely massive (And Jaw dropping expensive) 400 XXL engine at its heart. Weighing in at only 17.5 tons this massive fusion heart allows the mech to carry 37.5 tons of Hardened Armor, making the mech a massive walking juggernaut which can shrug off hits as it advances at 97.2 KPH.

Wait a second, 97.2 KPH?!

Yes folks, Clan Ghost Bear fitted this monster with both MASC & Supercharger, allowing to run at 9 hexes a round!

Of course, SOMETHING had to give. In this case...firepower. This Kodiak sports six ER Medium Lasers, an ER PPC and twin Streak-6 racks. The loss of the massive UAC-20 hurts quite a bit, along with two of the lasers. CASE II is provided to protect the expensive engine.

The Kodiak XXL-H has not been a complete success. While the added armor is quite nice the lack of firepower is seen as a downside to the Clan Warriors who have to pilot it.

-----

While the Stinger IIC and the Locust IIC are known now to the Inner Sphere, the Wasp IIC is rare even among the Clans, with only a mere handful produced.

It might have something to do with turning the 20 ton scout into a 75 ton heavy.

...What? The Phoenix Hawk IIC is an Assault Mech!

Gah, okay.

The Wasp IIC is a massive jumper of a mech. Fitted with an ER PPC, dual Medium Pulses and twin Streak-6 racks (still on the hips), the mech is lightly armed for a Clan Machine. But man does it MOVE. This 75 tonner has a 210 meter jump range thanks to the partial wings extending from its back, giving it massive mobility over any terrain. To help it find targets it is fitted with an Active probe as well.

It was noted that it was initially designed as an Omnimech but had to be downgraded into a standard Battlemech for production. Well, in the Dark Ages, lets give that another shot shall we?

55 tons and almost half of that is pod space, with maxed armor (Which was always a weakness of the Bushwacker). Its not outstanding as far as speed goes, but 5/8 is still respectable. The Endosteel crits are laid out with the right arm completely free for any big guns to sit there, along with the left arm mostly meant for smaller weapons.

I hear that, RLs to me are a rack you carry for the early part of the fight, yeah its gonna slow you down, but once you get in position, BANG!!!

Added a couple more variations on a theme. The regular AC-20 is just small enough to completely fit in the arm, which allows it to flip and provide a nasty surprise to any backstabbers.

------------

A new take on the old venerable (some might say not totally well received) Scorpion battlemech, the SCP-13s, when first seen, was said to look like "A walking demolisher tank". Defiance industries had taken the turret idea of the Demolisher, squashed it down, and fitted it to the mech with dual Snub-Nose PPCs poking out of it. As this allows the mech to fire in any direction, it is often seen as an upgrade, but it gets better. They also fitted it with a targeting computer opposite the twin energy guns, making it more accurate. To fit all this, the mech has an XL Engine, Endo-Steel and a smaller than average cockpit, making it quite cosy. But it can still accelerate at the old speed of the Scorpion and with a 360 degree arc of fire the lack of quad torso twist is no longer a concern. Also fitted to the mech is TAG, to help it call down artillery support and a Beagle Active Probe, to help it find targets.

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 06 July 2018, 20:31:47: After the annihilation of Clan Steel Viper, the remaining Clans picked over the remains and Clan Diamond Shark, always eager to find something to sell, chose the relatively non-flashy Crossbow Omni-mech to work with. As the Clan's scientists had received salvaged Actuator Enhancement System technology through deals leading back to the Inner Sphere, they decided to test it out in an improved Crossbow.

The Crossbow Mk II is the same weight as the original, at 65 tons. It also moves the same speed at 86 kph. But the mech now sports both an XL Engine (Driving the price up) and Endo-Steel to lighten the mech. The mech sports 25 tons of pod space, despite having 13.5 tons of armor. Standard armor plate is used rather than Clan Ferro-Fibrous, as this is easier for Inner Sphere customers to replace.

The Prime loadout of the Crossbow Mk II is a mirror of the original Steel Viper mech, sporting dual LRM-20s with the Artemis IV Fire Control System. Fed from a generous three ton ammo bin each, this allows the mech to rain fire from long distances with ease. Two ER Medium Lasers and a Medium Pulse Laser round out the armament, with two extra double heat sinks and an Active Probe for detecting targets.

Alpha is a close range brawler, with four Streak-6 missile racks (Two to an arm) and an ER Medium Laser in each arm also. Four tons of missiles supply the racks. This version also breaks with the original Crossbow Omni as it mounts jumpjets to allow 150 meter hops.

Charlie is the hi-tech configuration, with two ATM-12 racks wrapped around the arms. Fed from two 4 ton ammo bins this keeps the mech well supplied in frontline combat. Two ER Medium Lasers are token weapons for backup and a single extra heatsink was added.

Delta abandons any ammo concerns by going completely energy based. Two Large Pulse Lasers, 4 Small Pulse Lasers and two ER Medium Lasers are the sum total of its weapons, all in the arms. 7 extra heat sinks don't cover the total heat this variant can produce if the warrior fires everything.

Hotel is the almost required Heavy Laser configuration. But it packs a mere 3 Heavy Medium Lasers in the right arm while the left packs a HAG-20 and an AP-Gauss Rifle. 3 tons of HAG ammo and 1 ton of AP-Gauss ammo feeds the left arm, while two anti-missile systems protect the mech, fed from two ammo bins. A Light Active Probe rounds out the loadout.

Mike is...well...Four Plasma Cannons and 4 ER Medium Lasers means this mech is more meant for hunting down infantry and vehicles and making them all scream horribly while they burn to death. Six tons of cartridges for the Plasma Cannons mean its not running out any time soon.

In many ways the Sunder II is not the best improvement on the old walking refrigerator. It sports a mere half ton more podspace (which often ends up wasted) and it costs the Combine a full ten million more C-bills to build over its old counterpart and its five tons heavier. So what does it do right?

Well, its armor is absolutely maxed out on its 95 ton frame. 18.5 tons of standard plate make this breast incredibly durable in combat, even with the fragile XL-Engine inside it. It still can run at 64kph, which for something this big is not something seen outside of Clan mechs. It also seems to have an equal love affair with PPCs of all kinds (kinda like how the original had a thing for missiles).

Prime is simple. Two light PPCs for medium range poking firepower, an Ultra-20 with 5(!) tons of ammo to let the pilot cut loose, thankfully with CASE II to protect the mech. Four standard medium lasers round out the close range hammer. A guardian ECM suite is also standard issue in the Dark Age.

Alpha is also a brawler, but it instead goes the route of three Snub-Nose PPCs, A Plasma Rifle, a single lonely medium laser, and a Light PPC for token medium range firepower. This loadout also has a C3 Slave and Guardian ECM system.

Bravo is a more longer ranged option, with the old combo of Gauss Rifle and ER PPC. Three tons of ammo keep the rifle well supplied while a light PPC and four ER Medium Lasers round out the weapons. Wait, I forgot something? Oh yeah, the token ER Small Laser pointing backwards :-\

Charlie or the Command variant is pretty much meant to be the Lance Leader, with a C3 Master computer riding in its torso. No less than Six Light PPCs and four medium lasers round out its weapons, along with the standard Guardian ECM and a Bloodhound active probe for finding targets.

Delta is...well...a 95 ton jumping assault mech. And its the only version without some sort of PPC. Instead it sports a Large X-Pulse Laser and Six Medium X-Pulse Lasers, a token ER Small Laser and both Guardian ECM and a Beagle Active Probe.

Hotel is simple brute force. Twin Heavy PPCs in the torsos, four Medium Re-Engineered Lasers and a Small Re-Engineered Lasers. Nothing fancy here, just a sledge hammer to throw at the enemy.

Post by: RevenVrake on 30 August 2018, 17:46:13: You know, I can picture a discussion among Clan Sea Fox scientists going as thus:

Scientist Tom: We need to bring a new mech to the table to sell to the Inner Sphere and it must be something they have not seen before.
Scientist Bob: Hmm...What about a new version of our Mad Cat Mark Two? That sold exceptionally well.
Scientist Tom: What could we do to it to make it flashy and new? The mech is armed with standard Clan Weapons, nothing unique.
Scientist Charlie: I have Got it!
Scientist Bob: O.o?
Scientist Tom: o.O?
Scientist Charlie: We will make an invisible Mad Cat Mark Two!
Scientist Bob/Tom: O.O?!
Scientist Charlie: We have the Cameleon Light Polarization Shield technology from the Great Father's time and we have never put it into use!
Scientist Bob: ...Brilliant...but our own Warriors will never accept it, they see it as dishonorable!
Scientist Tom: But in this modern 32nd Century battlefield, we fight dishonorable foes all the time. If we sell it as a response to those foes...and the Inner Sphere customers do not care about what we see as honorable, they want results.

Therefore, the Sea Fox Predator version of the Mad Cat Mk II.

The Mech has a mixed armament in the massive Gauss rifle occupying the left arm with a three ton ammo drum bolted to the back of it, while the right has an equally hard hitting ER PPC. This mixed armament was due to the fact that the mech just didn't have the capacity for twin Gauss Rifles or the heat capacity for twin ER PPCs. Also it was seen as good to be able to sell the ammunition to the Inner Sphere, and having mixed weapons with similar ranges was seen as a plus when you take into account all the unusual armors (Especially Glazed or Ballistic Resistant) becoming more and more common.

The secondary laser battery of 4 ER Mediums was unchanged, but the missiles were swapped for a pair of SRM-6s. There were many arguments against the use of the standard launchers, but in the ECM rich environment of the Dark Age it was found that Streak Systems often ended up not-functioning so the mech makes do with standard launchers. This also lets them fire the wide variety of secondary alternate munitions, which the Sea Foxes are happy to sell.

Finally, a Flamer is mounted to tell really insistent infantry to go away.

Of Course, the crown jewel of this mech is the Chameleon Light Polarization Shield system. Making the mech blend into the background, it was noted as having a terrifying effect, as was proven when Star Captain Amanda Hammond took her brand new machine into combat and while hiding under the shield kept taunting the enemy by singing an truly ancient tune from a very old movie from Terra as her shark painted Mk II stalked around the battlefield.

Built as an experiment on New Avalon shortly before the Combine came a knockin', Archernar BattleMechs was attempting to build a 'pocket' heavy mech. Taking the very old (and very forgotten at this point) Swordsman mech, Archernar threw in an XL Engine, Endo-Steel and fully modern weapons. Sporting two ER Medium Lasers, a Snub-Nose PPC and the old trusty LRM-5 launcher, this new Swordsman's gimmick was the extra seven tons of modular armor bolted to the frame. This brings the frontal armor of the mech more in line with something 70-75 tons in weight, rather than the mere 40 tons of this machine. However, like the old Swordsman, speed suffers.

I've been wanting to experiment with Modular Armor as a way to make lighter mechs tougher, something similar I suppose to Hardened.

Post by: RevenVrake on 10 September 2018, 18:23:32: Discovered buried in a Bunker underneath the ruined Martinson Armaments factory, this prototype Archangel Celestial was studied as it didn't contain a Gyro system, which made several Republic techs interested in studying it.

It was found the mech used instead an Interface Cockpit, which required some serious study to understand. Similar to the Gestalt mech on Gibson, this machine seemed to be a test for a new generation of Celestials, which got derailed when the rest of the Inner Sphere knocked the Word of Blake playhouse down.

The mech used a regular Fusion Engine, wrapped in armor, instead of the Compact model by the regular Archangel. Though without the gyro the mech sported ample internal space to play with 47.5 tons of podspace. If not for the facts that the Celestial Series causes most folks to break out in hives and the Interface cockpit requires more than the Republic is prepared to demand of its soldiers this machine might have been placed back into low grade production as its four configurations scream "zombie-mech".
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 19 September 2018, 19:01:31: While Kallon Industries was retooling to produce Clan spec equipment for their new Wolf Empire overlords, several of the Scientist Caste took over a small portion of the facility to work on a prototype battlemech using the brand new Warwolf as a base chassis.

The Warwolf -I- is less an upgrade than a side evolution. The Engine is upgraded to a Starfire-XXL fusion engine, which makes this prototype worth its weight in gold almost. The mech drops the usual Reactive Armor for Clan Ferro-Fibrous plate, which loses some weight. Then they yanked out the entire 4 ton gyro and threw it away. The final touch was to install the prototype Interface Cockpit they were experimenting with in the Skinwalker into the 75 ton mech. The Warwolf -I- runs with 15 freezers built into the engine, giving it massive cooling potential, which is needed as the engine produces more heat than the original XL engine. Each of the current variants is mostly a test of the original's configurations.

The Prime has the same Gauss Rifle and Missile combo, but the launchers are now LRM-20s with two tons of ammo apiece, double the fire power. The Gauss rifle has a third ton of ammunition and two extra ER Medium Lasers have been added. The targeting computer remains in place. The jump jets are gone however, and a Super-Charger has been bolted to the engine to let the machine break 100 kph in short bursts to make up. The machine runs ice cold with the 15 freezers in the engine.

Alpha has a similar load out, with an extra medium pulse laser attached, for a wide array of weapons in an ER PPC, ER Large Laser, ER Medium Laser, 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, Streak LRM-10 and Streak SRM-6. As if that wasn't enough, the scientists had enough room in the center torso for a Targeting Computer and a Super Charger. Six extra freezers (For 21 in total) don't cover the total heat this variant can produce but it does manage for bracket firing.

The Beta model is a jumper...and man what a jumper. Eight Improved Jumpjets send this 75 tonner flying at scout mech speeds across the battlefield, but leave little room for weaponry. The mech has an ER PPC and four Medium Pulse Lasers. Four extra Freezers help the mech almost run cold, and because the frame just couldn't support having anything else bolted to the scientists decided to wrap two of the pulse lasers and the ER PPC in armor to ensure they didn't get knocked out.

Charlie drops the ATM system to instead employ Streak LRM-20s in a pair of launchers bolted to its shoulders. Fed from 4 tons of ammo the mech can be considered over-supplied in some cases. The Large Pulse Laser returns, with a pair of ER Medium lasers for backup. A Targeting computer makes all the lasers more accurate too. A single extra freezer was added almost as an afterthought.

The Hotel configuration follows its more conventional sibling, two Improved Heavy Large Lasers and a Gauss Rifle. But now the mech has a targeting computer in its center torso and TAG added to help it guide missiles to targets while it charges forwards using its Super Charger to top 100 kph. To ensure that the Gauss rifle is not knocked out with a lucky hit the entire gun is wrapped in protective armor plating.

Post by: RevenVrake on 18 October 2018, 20:41:39: Clan Goliath Scorpion surprisingly didn't get in on the whole 'totem' mech thing with a frontline machine, their Fire Scorpion. Deciding to change that, the Clan put to their Scientist Caste to develop a mech that the whole clan could take pride in, something with history.

It's not really a surprise that they looked to Ethan Moreau, who had been long considered an 'unoffical' founder of the Clan.

Thus, the Black Knight IIC.

In the same vein as Clan Wolf's Orion IIC, the Black Knight IIC is the same weight as the classic Star League mech, with newer Clan Components to enhance the mech.

Powered by a 300 XL fusion engine the mech has the exact same speed as the classic model (64 kph), with a MASC system boosting it up to 86 kph for short bursts. To help it maneuver even more four jumpjets are fitted to help it fly 120 meters at a time.

Weaponry consists of an ER PPC, twin ER Large Lasers, two ER Medium Lasers and two medium Pulse Lasers. The odd combo of the Active Probe with small laser returns, although the laser is upgraded into a pulse model. An ECM suite was added to jam streak systems.

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 24 October 2018, 13:18:10: More built as an experiment, the code named "Thor III" is a sibling to the Grand Summoner. Built on Sudeten, the mech has quite a bit in common with the Hel (Loki Mk II to Inner Sphere pilots). The mech was slathered in FF armor, 100% coverage. Endo-Steel provides the bones of the mech. But it is fitted with a 280 rated fusion XL powerplant, not the heavier 350 rated XL which powers its siblings. This slows the mech to 64kph, although it does sport four jumpjets, allowing for 120 meter hops.

This leaves the mech with 36 tons of podspace, five and a half more than the Grand Summoner. So far the mech hasn't totally won over the Falcon Touman, as they complain about the lack of speed (even though firepower is outstanding).

A modified version of the traditional THG-13K model Thug, the 13D model drops the third Heavy PPC for six medium lasers. The engine is now a Light Fusion engine rather than the more expensive and fragile XL model.

The Hatamoto-Chi 28U is an upgrade on the classic 27U, with lasers replacing the missile launchers. In this case, four ER mediums and two Medium Pulse models. The PPCs have been upgraded to Heavy PPCs for massive throw weight. Sixteen freezers keep the mech cold if a careful pilot watches what he is doing. Of course if the pilot alphas, he'll likely shut down. A C3 slave unit lets the mech serve as a powerful pointman for a lance and a Guardian ECM system protects the C3 from jamming.

Post by: RevenVrake on 10 November 2018, 14:05:22: Produced on Terra in limited numbers during the Jihad, the return of the Rim World's Republic flagship assault mech in Blakist colors caused more than a few nightmares. Refitted with all new weaponry (Keeping a similar layout), the RMP-7WB is an Expensive but effective 'trooper' assault mech.

It keeps an energy weapon in the chest flanked by two smaller lasers, missiles in the left arm and a big gun in the right. But now the big gun is a Heavy PPC, which hits as hard as a Gauss Rifle. The centerline gun is now a Plasma Rifle, which is devastating against pretty much anything (and does horrible things to infantry). The torso guns are now medium pulse lasers for catching faster opponents. A small pulse laser was added to the head to finish off any poor infantry that somehow escape the Plasma Rifle. The useful MML-9 occupies the left arm, fitted with Artemis-IV for increased accuracy, fitted with two tons of ammo. The usual Blakist C3i computer and a Guardian ECM suite ride in the right torso. The mech no longer uses MASC or Streak launchers, as something had to give.

With the weaponry being focused on a pair of Heavy PPCs and four ER Medium Lasers the mech is lightly armed for something in the 100 ton range. This is mostly to support the pair of C3 Master Computers, one residing in each side torso.

So, let's take the standard heavy proto, the Minotaur, and make an Ultra-Light version of it. And lets cheat with Fractional Accounting xp

To make the armor possible to withstand the heavy incoming fire we'll make it Hardened Armor. So the center torso can still survive a gauss shot (The head ironically is the most armored part)

Any MRM Launcher without Apollo Fire Control is syb optimal .

Awesome with exploding gauss rifles is just wrong .

Post by: RevenVrake on 22 November 2018, 22:02:52: I haven't had a chance to take the VSPL Crab out for a spin yet, I want to though.

The reason the Awesome doesn't come with CASE is the date.

The Warhawk was an infamous monster during the Clan Invasion. Clan Sea Fox sought to revive that legacy with the new Warhawk Mk II. The mech has less podspace and fewer fixed heat sinks due to the use of Endo-Composite and Ferro-Lamellor. Despite this, the mech still uses the mandatory targeting computer that defined the original Warhawk.

Post by: RevenVrake on 24 November 2018, 01:08:22: You know what I realized? That the MkII Warhawk is not exotic enough with its fancy armor. Its still a basic Warhawk with fancy clothes on.

So how can we make a much more exotic Warhawk? >:D

How about one that can't mount a Targeting Computer? :o

Wait a minute, the only thing that disables adding a Tar-Comp is...

That's right folks. A.E.S on an 85 tonner...it can act similar to a targeting computer for shooting with missile weaponry and the like.

Of course those 8 crits in the arms mean I have trouble fitting the heavier and bulky Ferro-Lamellor armor, so we leave that at home. Nice and cheap standard plate it is!

Post by: RevenVrake on 13 December 2018, 00:45:33: Now this is something I'm surprised never came about. The Devastator is a massive beatstick of a mech, but since it was only a prototype back in the Star League days it never really gained the massive rep mechs like the Atlas or King Crab managed. Of course when the Clan's came a knocking NAIS was able to build the things and for Inner Sphere tech with two PPCs and two Gauss rifles it is about as killy as an Inner Sphere mech could get.

Of course, back in 3036, NAIS did make a lower-tech version of that machine. Two Large Lasers, two AC-10s. Talk about a let down. Add in single heat sinks and ouch.

But what if NAIS decided to take another look at the DVS-1D?

The PPCs are back, the large lasers are out. The AC-10s have been replaced with LBX autocannons in the same class, making their ranges match the PPCs. Three medium lasers (1 in the head and 2 in the center torso) round out the weapons. 17 tons of FF armor make this beast about as heavily armored as you can get and hey, NO XL ENGINE! So this sucker is fairly cheap for a 100 ton walking gun platform. CASE protects the ammo bins.

Most notable, the standby Pitban 320 Fusion Engine was replaced by a much smaller Pitban 240 engine, putting this Zeus at the standard Atlas-like pace. This wasn't seen as much of a problem as before, as the mech was meant to engage at much further ranges than before. It did this by replacing the Autocannon with a much heavier and much more powerful Poland Gauss Rifle with 2 tons of slugs to feed it. The LRM-15 got another ton of ammo, giving them equal fire endurance. The Large Laser was swapped for an ER Model and two extra medium lasers were fitted, with a total of two pointing forwards and two to cover the back of the mech. Finally, in an odd touch, the mech was fitted with three Jumpjets in an attached 'backpack', which is thought to have led to the nickname of the "Hiker Zeus" to this machine as the magazine for the Gauss rifle was placed also in this pack. Armor was maxed out on the frame to protect the mech.

Ultimately this model was not placed in large scale production, as many pilots disliked the lower top speed and the ZEU-9S2 model tested very well with the Lyran Military.

The Thunder Hawk has always been a massive threat on the board, but replace one Gauss Rifle with an ER PPC to allow the mech to carry a C3 Master unit. I moved some other stuff around and changed the secondary weapons too. So now the dual Gauss/ER PPC combo can hopefully take advantage of range shenanigans to smack an enemy with 40 points of damage with no penalties.

Post by: RevenVrake on 04 January 2019, 21:22:16: Hmm, lets try an Intro-Tech design.

We always kept hearing about how the Free World's League, despite producing the Awesome, had a massive shortage of PPCs and would refit Large Lasers into their place instead.

Hmm...let's play with that...

A Marik Warhammer, which uses dual Large Lasers instead of PPCs. It also drops most of the secondary weapons for an extra SRM-6 rack. It also uses the spare weight saved to add on additional armor plating.

Now we have a new offering from those more cash-minded Clanners in Diamond Shark. You see a major problem in getting your hands on nice shiny Clan Tech is the sheer price of one of them. If you're not someone with some serious C-Bills to spend you're gonna have problems getting it. So Diamond Shark have decided to try their hands at making a 'Bargain Bin' Heavy Mech...while trying to keep it as effective as the infamous Clan Thor.

I know what you're thinking, a max top speed of 56 kph?! That's Atlas speed! How is it supposed to keep up with the Clan Thor?!
Then you notice the 150 meter range of its jumpjets. While on foot, yes, this mech is much slower, its just as agile as the Clan Thor in the air. And it has 28 tons of pod space to play with. That's almost as good as the Clan Loki...while actually having some serious armor to play with! And finally, the best part, the most expensive version of the mech you can buy right from Diamond Shark doesn't break 11 million c-bills even. This thing uses a Standard Fusion Engine and Standard Plate making it easy to repair damage in combat.
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 18 February 2019, 15:27:24: It strikes me that with all the Clan savings in weight due to their advanced Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous armor the savings don't really seem to pay off until you hit medium and heavier designs. At least with the Jade Falcon's usual choice of firepower over speed or armor.

But lets do a remake of a mech that honestly I'm surprised that hasn't gotten a Dark Ages revamp.

Red Devil Industries, having settled into its new Clan Overlord's clutches, was still producing mostly Inner Sphere designs and wanted to grab the attention of its new Management with something flashy. Hence, upgrading the venerable Kit Fox, which was a popular ride for many a Jade Falcon MechWarrior.

First, 33% increase in weight to 40 tons. The New Kit Fox II is a 'light' medium mech, but maintains the same speed as the original. 97 kph or 6/9 in game terms. This is still 'slowish' by the standards of mechs in this weight category. Compare and contrast the Kit Fox II with the Clan Viper, which moves 8/12/8. However, while the Viper has eight and a half tons of pod space, the Kit Fox II has nineteen tons of pod space. Nearly half the mech's combat weight can be in ordinance. Armor was also increased, a common noted 'failing' of the original Kit Fox. 7 tons of FF armor cover the beast, with each leg and center torso able to withstand 18 points of damage. Each side torso's armor can withstand a Clan ER PPC or Gauss Rifle slug, while the arms made do with the max allowed of 12 points. The back armor is fairly thin however, with each side torso able to withstand an Inner Sphere medium laser (5 points) while the center torso rear can take that with a silver of armor left over (6 points). This is a "Front Towards Enemy" kind of mech.

It's also an Omni and Red Devil Industries went sorta mad with it.

Prime apes the original Kit Fox with a nice big Large Pulse Laser in the right arm, two ER medium Lasers in the left arm, an ATM-9 launcher with 3 tons of ammunition, a flamer in the right arm, a Jade Falcon Light Active Probe riding shotgun alongside the cockpit and two extra freezers. Its a jack of all trades with this weapon loadout, but still fairly able to cause damage with the ATM/s flexibility compared to the old LBX-5.

Alpha is more a hunter than a straight up fighter. The old ER Large Laser rides in the right arm, a Plasma Cannon with two tons of ammo rides in the left, a Streak-6 pack in the right torso, no less than four micro-pulse lasers adorn the side torsos and head along with an entire suite of electronics in full Active Probe, ECM and two ton targeting computer. With so many anti-infantry options one wonders if this was intended for killing swathes of infantry or BA.

Bravo is a dedicated sniper. Twin ER Large Lasers form the primary striking power, along with two ER medium lasers for backup. A 2 ton Targeting Computer ties into those guns, making it a scary sniper as it also mounts three extra freezers to handle the heat and six jump-jets, letting it bounce around over rough terrain with ease.

Charlie is a massive Clan Jade Falcon middle finger against any Bug mechs silly enough to get in range. Two Large Pulse Lasers, Two ER medium lasers, and a small pulse laser for anti-infantry work. It also has a full ECM and Active Probe system. Two extra freezers help with the heat.

Delta...well its not quite a Viper but its close. Eight Improved Jumpjets are a good start, letting it hop around like its 40 ton stable-mate. But the weapons are pure Energy, no explosive. Two ER Mediums, two Medium Pulses, and two small Pulses. It also has an ECM suite to let it wreck havoc with anything it jumps close to. Two extra freezers cool it off too.

Echo is weird. It takes up 4 tons to add 4 units of modular armor to the mech, one on each arm and side torso. Suddenly the arms and side torsos have more armor than the center torso or legs, and it slows the mech down to 5/8...which makes it a stable-mate of the Cougar. A large pulse laser, two medium pulse lasers and two micro pulse lasers along with a Streak-6 pack round out the weapons.

Hotel, in many ways, echoes the original Prime model. But now the mech has a Heavy Large Laser in the right arm, and an LRM-20 with Artemis IV in the left arm. Two tons of reloads feed the launcher. An ER Medium and two micro-pulse lasers round out the secondary weapons. The usual two-ton targeting computer rides in the right torso and two extra Freezers help a little with the heat.

Kilo is...well...an attempt at a missile boat? Kinda? No less than Six ATM-3s with six tons of ammo altogether. Two medium pulse lasers round out the weapons. This is not a popular config as the small launchers almost guarantee its hard to get a 'good' kill with the ER missiles. Of course, at point blank range that many HE warheads might cause a slight...browning of the pants.

Mike is another jumper, with six regular jumpjets. It also mounts a Large Pulse Laser, Two Medium Pulse Lasers, Two Flamers, ECM, Active Probe and TAG for calling down artillery. Two extra freezers help with the heat.

ER large laser

Micro- Timber Wolf if you may...

Close in and " brown pants " with HE and then up and personal with the paddle weapons...

I wonder, with 6 tons... 2 ER, 2 Standard, 1 HE and 1 Smoke?

The ATM-9 is supposed to be a replacement for the LB5-X. It can usually do more damage with ER missiles, and lots more with standard or HE. The Prime is meant to be a 'jack of all trades' Jade Falcon mech. Able to fill almost any hole in the Touman.

Kind of a mix of the Venerable 3D and the 4D Hammerhands models, the so called "3.5D" is a modern remake. Out goes the older autocannons and in their place are a quartet of Light Autocannon Fives, each with their own ton of ammunition. This mixture allows for speciality ammunition to be carried, which the machine uses. In addition to the autocannons, 2 medium lasers and 2 light PPCs fill out the machine. A small ER laser and a C3 slave completes the package.

A Very Limited Production of Raider Mk.IIIs were built before production stopped, on account that the engine used really made the sellers nervous. While the ICE of the other versions made it simple to care for, the Mk.III went another route. Instead of an ICE this machine uses a Fission Engine, which while cheaper than a regular Fusion Engine, does come with the nasty side effect of radiation if its cored out. The TSM was left off because this machine doesn't carry the Raider's signature Dual Saw anymore. Instead its a gunslinger with twin LAC-5s in the left arm and twin Light Machine Guns in the right. Fitted over the left torso are a pair of ten-tube rocket launchers, for a surprise smack down on anything that gets in its way. Now, the mech does mount the max it can for 50 tons, to help cover the horrible result of what might happen if the engine is damaged.

Now, the Raider Mk.III was never widely sold (And Bannson doesn't really advertise it anymore due to the aforementioned engine...difficulties).

This is a close combat Urban Hatamoto-Chi, with Large Pulse Lasers replacing the PPCs. A Plasma Rifle (rare for a Kurita mech) rides in the right torso while two ER Medium Lasers and a Flamer ride in the left. Guardian ECM and a C3 Slave unit are fitted as well. The biggest change is experimental (For the time) Reactive Armor fitted, fifteen tons of it. As a massive threat in Urban warfare is the little guy with an SRM launcher (or an Urbanmech with its auto-cannon), Reactive Armor seems like a smart idea.

The Grasshopper 5K Model is a rebuild of an old GHR-5H model of Grasshopper, with many of the weapons pulled for newly rediscovered Lostech. This turns the mech into an almost dedicated City-Fighter, with the mech maintaining its Standard Engine and jumpjet range, but the armor is as much Ferro as the chassis can take. The Large Laser, two of the medium lasers and the LRM-5 are gone. In their place a Large Pulse Laser, two medium pulse lasers, a SRM-4 pack and a Flamer ride alongside a full suite of fancy electronics to jam and find targets. CASE was added for the 1 ton of SRM ammunition (which, depending on the fancy of the pilot, could be for crit seeking or just setting everything on fire with Inferno ammo). 14 Freezers keep the mech cool in the middle of firing everything but it can drive the heat scale up if the pilot is not careful.

for the Grasshopper, I would consider a ERPPC
instead of the Large Pulse, gives it one ranged weapon to bang away with
but still works all the way up to melee range
might also consider TSM 😜

I wanted to set the thing in the 3040s, and TSM doesn't really get used until the 3050s when the Cappies figure the stuff out. The Primary reason I went with the Large Pulse Laser was, 1, it fits into the center torso, meaning if this is a refit of a stock 3025 'hopper, it can fit into the same place as the old Large Laser, 2, its got that really nice -2 to shooting. If this thing is jumping every round, that means an easier to hit number. Also, its in the center torso. You can blow off both side torsos and this thing will still have its main gun.

And if I had wanted TSM, I'd find a way to throw a Hatchet onto one of the arms just to really get the point across as a terrifying threat.

I did try to do an XL Engine version with dual Large Pulses but I decided it wasn't worth at cause at the end of the day the mech cost around 14 million c-bills and change...and I could just get two of the STD engine 'hoppers instead and double stomp on folks. The mech does have a weakness in that 10 hexes is your absolute max range, hence the idea that this is a Kell Hounds' refit built explicitly for Urban Combat testing. The electronics hide it and let you see beyond buildings, the flamer cooks any infantry, the SRMs crit-seek and the pulse lasers can help hit any fast movers you run into.

I mostly got this idea as I'm running a tabletop RPG/battletech game for friends every sunday and we have a happy Grasshopper pilot who does the whole bouncy back and forth with shooting and he's taken the least amount of damage. (I might have to post the results of that somewhere here...)

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 09 April 2019, 11:55:25: It was just that I read somewhere about a mod to a Urbanmech and the poster called it a 'Ruralmech' as he had directly swapped the AC-10 for a LRM-20 and extra ammo, so I went the same way.

-----------

Designed in the Dark Age as both an experiment and to supplement the existing stock, the Nova Cat II is not really considered an upgrade over the original design.

The mech weighs the exact same 70 tons, moves at the same speed and carries the same amount of armor.

However, one big change is the fitting of A.E.S. in both arms, making them more accurate with shooting which Clan Sea Fox enjoys, even with the destruction of Clan Nova Cat.

The Prime model sports twin ER PPCs, twin ER Large Lasers and two micro pulse lasers. The loss of the third ER Large Laser is thought to be made up by the greater accuracy of the larger guns.

The Alpha model goes right back to quad ER Large Lasers, with the A.E.S. enhancing accuracy. However, two medium pulse (in the arms) and two micro pulse lasers (side torsos) are also fitted, giving it more flexibility.

Bravo...Bravo is not considered as threatening as the original Nova Cat design, as it has only 40 missile tubes compared to the originals 90. However, those 40 tubes are linked to Artemis V and the A.E.S. helps out as well. Six tons of ammo mean it is well supplied for combat. Two Medium Pulse and two small pulse round out the weapons and full ECM and Active Probe are fitted as well.

Charlie is a another take on Bravo, this time with two iATM-12s in the arms. Each fed from 3 ton bins the mech also sports a pair of heavy medium lasers, two medium pulse lasers and finally, JumpJets.

Delta is a Clan Rifleman, with twin LBX-5s (Fed from 3 tons of ammo), two ER Large Lasers and two Medium Pulse lasers. An ECM suite is also fitted.

Echo is a city fighter, with four Streak SRM-6 racks (Two per arm) along with two Plasma Cannons and two Medium Pulse Lasers. 2 tons of SRM ammunition and 2 tons of plastic 'charges' for the Plasma Cannons are carried, making this machine run light on the ammo. Echo also has JumpJets.

Hotel is the heavy laser boat, with an Improved Heavy Large Laser alongside two Improved Heavy Medium Lasers in the right arm. The left arm sports a HAG-20, fed from 3 tons of ammunition. An ECM suite and light active probe round it out. Also, all the weapons are wrapped in protective armor to guard against explosive detonations...

I wanted to set the thing in the 3040s, and TSM doesn't really get used until the 3050s when the Cappies figure the stuff out. The Primary reason I went with the Large Pulse Laser was, 1, it fits into the center torso, meaning if this is a refit of a stock 3025 'hopper, it can fit into the same place as the old Large Laser, 2, its got that really nice -2 to shooting. If this thing is jumping every round, that means an easier to hit number. Also, its in the center torso. You can blow off both side torsos and this thing will still have its main gun.

And if I had wanted TSM, I'd find a way to throw a Hatchet onto one of the arms just to really get the point across as a terrifying threat.

I did try to do an XL Engine version with dual Large Pulses but I decided it wasn't worth at cause at the end of the day the mech cost around 14 million c-bills and change...and I could just get two of the STD engine 'hoppers instead and double stomp on folks. The mech does have a weakness in that 10 hexes is your absolute max range, hence the idea that this is a Kell Hounds' refit built explicitly for Urban Combat testing. The electronics hide it and let you see beyond buildings, the flamer cooks any infantry, the SRMs crit-seek and the pulse lasers can help hit any fast movers you run into.

I mostly got this idea as I'm running a tabletop RPG/battletech game for friends every sunday and we have a happy Grasshopper pilot who does the whole bouncy back and forth with shooting and he's taken the least amount of damage. (I might have to post the results of that somewhere here...)

Yeah I do think there are some more that could ahve been done with the fun grasshopper. I had something similar that had access to ECM, active probe, and had two ER large lasers in the arms for range. It also used a snub nose PPC to give it a good hole puncher that can be used up close with some torso medium lasers. It had a small pulse laser in the head but I think I should have gone with a flamer just for the fire breathing look lol.

Welcome to the wonderful world of bracket firing, as an Alpha Strike will shut you down with 40 overheat.

Instead of the artillery piece this monster packs the sawed off Long Tom for indirect fire to combine with the LRM-20 if you can get a spotter, along with its various weapons.

When in direct fire mode, you fire the 2 ER PPCs, the Gauss Rifle and the LRM-20. If up close, you smack em with the two Large Pulse Lasers, the SRM-6, or possible the Long Tom Cannon if you decide to not fire the SRM launcher.

The machine sports 600 points of armor, each arm has more armor than the center torso of an Atlas. You're gonna need it as its likely to soak up a lot of fire with its Urbanmech pack of 2/3. 21 Freezers keep the mech from overheating but beware infernos cause if you fail an ammunition roll you can be seen from orbit. And yeah, the price is a bit...high. xp

So, Mad Cat Mk IV or Orca Mk2? I'll leave that to you to decide ;D

The MRM-40 is blunt hammer of a weapon, but it is cheap to feed compared to the AC-20. Add the C3 slave helping the targeting systems by working in a group. And, surprisingly for a Hunchie, it has four jumpjets to let it bounce over buildings. FF Armor helps protect the mech.

A refit of the standard King Crab, this design was drawn up in the twilight of the Jihad for extended operations. Instead of the twin autocannons which had defined the mech for so long, instead it mounted a battery of old-school medium lasers similar to the Komodo, allowing it to potentially do more damage than both autocannons combined with its battery. The weight savings were put into a pair of long range guns for support in the form of an ER PPC (taking the place of the large laser) and a Gauss Rifle replacing the LRM-15. The Gauss is fed from 3 tons of slugs, giving it good endurance in the field. A flamer under the cockpit deals with infantry.

Unusually, the legs of the mech also sport Solaris style 'spikes' to protect them from melee attacks. Nineteen and a half tons of plate protect the mech and 18 freezers keep it cool...unless the Pilot Alpha Strikes.

An Urban Combat version of the Venerable Longbow mech, usually nicknamed "Shortbow" as its massive LRM racks have been replaced with two massive MRM-40 missile racks, allowing it to chuck 80 missiles down range and in an urban environment that can cause smash a mech to pieces with a single salvo. The inexpensive ammunition is also a benefit, as reloading the entire mech costs the same a single ton of LRM ammunition.

Fitted with a torso mounted flamer to tell Infantry to go away the mech also has a typical combine C3 slave and a Guardian ECM suite to help it knock out enemy electronics.

I like the Shortbow, but if it's an urban defense unit would it benefit more from an active probe of some sort instead of the ECM suite? The probe could let it find hidden units. Just a thought.

Quote from: RevenVrake on 07 June 2018, 22:03:04
Here's a fun little idea I had. During the Dark Ages, after the fortress walls up the Republic Military had a handful of Celestial omnimech wrecks and decided to put them back into service. Only handful of each mechs were rebuilt as that was all the salvage was left after Stone had most of the former Word of Blake's arsenal.

The mere half-dozen of Archangel mechs recovered had their expensive and heavy compact Fusion engines wrecked so the republic techs replaced the engine with a standard Vox model taken from old Atlas mechs. To emulate the survivability of the original mech the engine was wrapped in six tons of armor plate, which when compared to the old Compact model saved three tons. That weight savings were poured into a standard cockpit and the C3i system was replaced by a boosted C3 slave.

The Deva series recovered were the most common mechs of the Celestial series that the republic managed to salvage. Unlike the original mech the design uses a regular Gyro that is armored and the C3i system is switched out for a boosted C3 slave. The weight savings are used to retrofit the cockpit.

The Preta refits are a little more involved as the mech doesn't really gain or lose that much pod space but it does radically have different movement as the engine has been downgraded but a supercharger has been fitted in a side torso. The armor, which on the original was at 94% coverage, has been increased to 99% on this version, which is not a lot already on a 45 ton mech.

The Seraph mech was redesigned into a command mech, sporting a full command console and boosted C3 Master to allow Republic forces to stay coordinated. While piloting these refit Word of Blake mechs was unpopular, they were still powerful and their reputations on the battlefield only added to the intimidation factor whenever these things appeared.

With the Republic's interest in drones, refitting some of these Celestials with drone cockpits might be interesting.

Edit: and this is the best weapon name I've ever seen.

The ECM system there is actually to help keep the C3 Slave unit working with the optional ECCM rules (Which I use a lot in MM). That lets the Shortbow use a C3 network to really get the most out of the rather odd range brackets of MRMs.

I thought Drone cockpits, like Robotic Cockpits, could only go onto Quad mechs? Or did they change that rule?

No, its not efficient, but 7 tons of modular armor does add considerable protection to the machine. Slowed down to 4/6 means it leans on its dual ER Large Lasers for long range combat. It mimics the older warhammer in many ways, but its electronics are now the Watchdog CEWS (Saving weight) and it does pack a targeting computer.

So, Dual Arrow IVs replacing the AC-20s an the LRM-15. Four tons of ammo apiece. A snub-nose PPC for a backup gun and two ER Small Lasers cause I had tonnage left over. TAG to let you possibly guide your own missiles if you rock homing ammo.

Now it does use a Light Fusion engine, as honestly trying to fit anything else was a pain in the butt. Endo-Steel? Forget it with the twin AIVs eating 30 crits! So this girl is expensive to deploy at just under the twenty million mark. But man, firepower down range is crazy. Any BA squad is going to break into hives at the thought of trying to get close and it just decides to target hexes with non-homing ammo. Or if it TAGs you and chucks homing ammo down range. With maximum armor as well it won't fall over any time soon. The Snubbie is for making fast movers go away and two ER Smalls as I didn't have access to Micro-Pulse Lasers or the like.

That's right folks, 8 tons of targeting computer! I can hear the wince already :D

Twin ER PPCs and a Gauss Rifle make up the long range punch. 3 tons of slugs make sure the Gauss Rifle can take even risky shots for a bit too. Its got 19 tons of armor wrapping around the frame to protect it. Two medium lasers and a flamer round out the guns.

Its a massive beatstick and best of all, even in the super high-ECM world of the Jihad and early republic nothing can get turned off on it.

Ha! Nearly 4000BV! This is one EXPENSIVE puppy to deploy! All the weapons are swapped for Clan Models. The Flamer is completely replaced by a Clanner Plasma Cannon with 2 tons of plastic slugs to throw downrange. This gives it a nice amount of anti-infantry/vehicle damage if it needs it. The mech is fitted with more freezers as Clan models are much smaller. Finally, just to top things off, the mech has a Watchdog CEWS to cover finding targets are very close range. The mech uses a Clan XL Engine salvaged from a wrecked Dire Wolf to power it.

Trade out the dual autocannons for a single 6 tube iATM rack, which using ER missiles can hit 27 hexes and since its a Streak missile system they all hit or they don't fire. I like that. 3 Tons of ammo feed it which should be plenty, also gives you an option for the odd munitions the Society developed. A TarComp helps the Lasers (Which really are the main weapons of the mech anyways). The chassis uses Endo-Steel to free up the weight and its fitted with 15 laser heat-sinks so it runs cool at all times.

I fitted this 85 ton version to mirror the 90 ton. But instead of needing twenty tons of jumpjets, it only needs ten. That saves weight that can be put into other stuff. It gains an additional micro-pulse laser and both ECM and Active probe to help find hidden targets and to mess with enemy electronics.

The upgraded form swaps out pretty much everything.

Instead of the massive HAG-30, it instead sports triple Large Pulse Lasers in a similar mounting. The SRM-6 racks are replaced by Streak models, two ER Medium Lasers replacing the Medium Pulses and it mounts two small pulse lasers on the right arm to kill infantry. A light active probe is head mounted to help find targets. 17 freezers allow for jumping pulse laser goodness.

This model uses recovered Word of Blake tech, mostly the accurate VSPL technology. It also mounts a MML-9 in place of the LRM-15 and the SRM-6s, trading the throw weight for flexibility. The right arm medium pulse lasers get traded for a Plasma Rifle with 2 tons of ammo. 2 small VSPLs cover the back. 16 Freezers keep things somewhat cool. The mech also mounts six tons of jumpjets to get the mech up to 90 meters at a time, which can be scary when the 100 brick comes flying in a DFA attack. Finally, it mounts both active probe and ECM suite on its hips to both hide and find targets.

34 tons of hardened armor, this thing will keep advancing no matter what. Add to that 3 jump jets too. Its still lightly armed but it can carry 4 atomic warheads in the 4 ton ammo bin in the left torso.

Post by: Starfury on 07 September 2019, 21:28:45: Heck all you need to do the Grand Titan is slap on a pair of ER Larges in place of the LPLs, add 4 doubles, and you're all set. Or swap in a pair of standard PPCs that you can get from the ER PPC swaps the FWL does for their Battlemasters, drop the small pulses for a pain of doubles, and you have another nice long range trooper. But it's the Free World League. We can't have nice things since the family keeps breaking them in the divorce.

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 08 September 2019, 12:15:30: It was mentioned in the Grand Titan's MOTW article that maybe the reason they went with Pulse Weapons was to ensure that the pilot actually connected, cause that -2 is really nice for making average pilots hit their targets. I just upped the size with the VSPLs as at min you're getting a -1 to shooting at long range, -2 at medium and a glorious -3 at short range. The Plasma Rifle also serves a nice bonus to targets other than mechs, as the extra damage you'll do to BA or Tanks can really rack up fast. The MML launcher is the only thing I'm waffling on, as the throw weight is much lower but the ability to toss SRMs with it too is quite nice.

PPCs would be nice...but like you said its FWL. They have enough trouble getting PPCs for their Awesomes. And it just didn't feel Marik enough to go with PPCs over the lasers. And I wasn't going to try to fit a Light Gauss Rifle (I despise the thing) to it.

The mech just ran out of crit space for anything more with needing so many 'sinks to keep it cool. I was almost tempted to go with Composite Frame to get more tonnage.

A Dark Age Orion, built in the former Free World's League. It's designed to carry mostly a energy boat, with the autocannon swapped for an ER PPC. The medium lasers are swapped for former Blakist Medium VSPLs, giving it ferocious short range punch. Its missiles are swapped for a single MML-9 rack with ArtIV, which will do duty for the LRM-15 and SRM-4. A small pulse laser with an X-Module is the last weapon, mostly for vaporizing infantry.

The mech is thickly armored brick, and its fitted with four jumpjets in the legs to let it bounce over cliffs. It sports no ECM or Active probe, as there wasn't tonnage left over for it.

XL Engine, 4/6 movement on a 95 tonner, ouch on that price tag. Dual Heavy PPCs give it ferocious punch, and it has enough sinks to fire both and run. It has Small Pulses covering both front and back arcs to kill infantry, two A-Pods to murder infantry that get underfoot. It has ER Mediums forward and aft to cover those arcs. In the Head both a C3 Slave and TAG help out, with Guardian ECM in the center torso to protect them.

This variant of the Gyrfalcon keeps the reflective plate of the original, but adds on even more to protect the machine. Both ER Large Lasers return, but the machine trades out the LBX-2s for a pair of iATM-3 launchers in the chest. Four tons of ammo feed the launchers, maybe a tad too much but it gives the options of carrying different loadouts for what mission might be needed. With ER missiles the weapons do 50% more damage than the LBX-2s and that only goes up if the range somehow shortens. Replacing the little used light active probe is a full ECM suite, allowing the machine to vanish off sensors or better yet to ghost target enemies who try to shoot it anyways.

A Dark Age Orion, built in the former Free World's League. It's designed to carry mostly a energy boat, with the autocannon swapped for an ER PPC. The medium lasers are swapped for former Blakist Medium VSPLs, giving it ferocious short range punch. Its missiles are swapped for a single MML-9 rack with ArtIV, which will do duty for the LRM-15 and SRM-4. A small pulse laser with an X-Module is the last weapon, mostly for vaporizing infantry.

The mech is thickly armored brick, and its fitted with four jumpjets in the legs to let it bounce over cliffs. It sports no ECM or Active probe, as there wasn't tonnage left over for it.

It reminds me of an Orion that I made not too long ago. The big difference being you went with VSP lasers and a small X pulse laser while I went with a plasma rifle (in addition to the ERPPC) with ER medium lasers in the arm and I also did not have artemis but had a third ton of ammo. Also yours has a half ton more armor whereas mine had case 2 and a compact gyro.

The Hauptman II is an attempt to improve the classic Lyran Omnimech. It maintains the Standard Fusion Engine to keep it cheaper and more survivable. The mech does use Endo-Steel, which does eat up crit slots, but the Gyro is Compact to let it store larger components or weapons in the center torso. The Prime mounts a Heavy PPC there while the Alpha shoves part of a Long Tom Cannon in there too. The right torso is bare of any Endo-Steel, which lets the mech store its larger weapons there.

With a mere TWO tons of pod space :D, this is quite possibly the smallest omni-mech ever built! The Shriek is, however, almost impossible to catch, able to sprint at well over FOUR HUNDRED kilometers per hour (Until the MASC locks up or the Super-Charger Explodes). It makes well its pod space, carrying usually energy weapons. Paired ER Mediums are the Prime's teeth, giving it good range for something so fast. Alpha is a suicide jockey's favorite, bringing four Improved Small Heavy Lasers to melt a target. Bravo is boring, bringing an ER Medium Laser, a Micro Pulse Laser and electronics in a Light Active Probe (Boo). Charlie is a near twin sister to Alpha, but with four ER small Lasers instead.
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 04 December 2019, 00:00:48: Built in 3089, the Awesome II was to be the new flagship assault mech for the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, using the Technicron Manufacturing facilities captured on Tongatapu to produce the machine.

At 100 tons, the machine sports a triple Heavy PPC battery with 21 freezers almost enough to keep up with it. A Medium and Small Pulse Laser are the only other weapons fitted, along with a C3 Slave Unit to provide targeting data.

The mech is fitted with a regular fusion engine and compact gyro, along with some of the heaviest back armor ever fitted to a mech, making it a difficult opponent to knock out easily. 18.5 tons of Light Ferro protect the machine completely.

The mech however was to only have a short production run as the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth was crushed under the combined forces of the Lyran Commonwealth and Clan Wolf decades later.

----------------

Built in very limited numbers, the 1(W) variation on the Awesome II was built for Clan Wolf after the capture of Tongatapu using the remaining chassis found on the production line. The mech was refitted with Clan Weapons and a pair of extra heat sinks to help handle the heat load. With all the extra weight saved, the builders went a little crazy, fitting an ECM suite and then armoring virtually everything inside the mech. The fusion engine, compact gyro, all components in the head (Except the laser), both shoulders and the hips and foot actuators got their own half-tons of protection to keep the mech working while under fire.

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 01 January 2020, 01:51:34: A follow on to the highly successful Grand Summoner, the Lord Summoner is an assault class chassis based on the improved Jade Falcon favorite.

At 85 tons in weight the mech uses a 340 rated XL engine to move at 64 kph, as fast as something this big can safely go without using MASC or a Super-Charger. Four leg mounted jump-jets and the near universal Partial Wing let the mech cover 150 meters in a single bound, matching the classic Summoner in the air.

32 tons of Pod Space mean this mech has a bit more room for weapons even over the Grand Summoner while having 16.5 tons of armor to protect itself and always being able to jump.

The Prime or first loadout completed is a take on the Classic Summoner loadout. An ER PPC for sniping duties, LRM-20 with Art-IV for mid-range support. But instead of the LBX-AC/10 this machine sports the experimental Clan RAC-5, which has superior range to the older autocannon and can possibly deliver more damage. A single ER Medium Laser is for backup. 3 tons of ammo feed the autocannon and 2 tons of ammo feed the LRM launcher. 2 additional heat-sinks help cover the heat output and CASE II protects the big ammo bin in the left torso.

Alpha is a missile boat. Three LRM-20s with the new Art-V fire control provide the main firepower. No less than Seven tons of ammo feed those three launchers, five tons in a CASE II bin in the left torso and 1 ton in a small bin in each arm with regular Clan CASE to protect them. Two additional Medium Pulse Lasers are the backup guns in the center torso.

Bravo is a little bit of everything. An Ultra-AC/10 with 3 tons of ammo sits in the left arm, with an Improved Heavy Large Laser resting in the right arm. Two AP-Gauss Rifles with a ton of ammo sit in the left torso, meant to mow down any infantry brave enough to stand against the assault mech. A targeting computer makes all these weapons more accurate. Finally, an IATM-6 rack in the right torso with 3 tons in a single bin round out the weapons. A light active probe and ECM suite cover the mech's electronic needs in the heavy ECM Dark Age.

Charlie houses a massive HAG-30 with no less than five tons of ammo to feed it. An ER Large Laser rounds out the bigger guns, with a LRM-15 with Art-IV (2 tons of ammo) covering the main weapons. An ER Medium Laser and 2 micro-pulse lasers cover the secondary weapons. Again, ECM and Light Active Probe are fitted.

Delta is unusual as it mounts only energy weapons. 3 Large Pulse Lasers cover anti-mech duties and 3 Small Pulse Lasers cover anti-infantry duties. A Five Ton targeting computer makes these already accurate weapons even more deadly. The mech mounts no other guns, making it independent of ammo dumps and really good on extended patrol duties. A full ECM suite is normal but the full Active Probe is a bit of surprise.

Echo is a brutal sniper. Dual ER PPCs, Dual Improve Heavy Medium Lasers, all tied into a Targeting Computer. A LRM-20 with Art-IV and 3 tons of ammo is the 'backup' weapon. An ECM suit is fitted as normal.

Hotel is Insanity, Jade Falcon Edition. Dual Improved Heavy Large Lasers. 2 Medium Pulse Lasers. Targeting Computer. No less than FIVE Streak SRM-4s! The iHLLs carve off a ton of armor with each hit and then the pilot throws twenty Streak SRMs at you for good measure!

Post by: RevenVrake on 01 February 2020, 16:53:55: Gifts from Clan Coyote, the Society refitted these urban combat machines with their usual advanced technologies.

But the addition of the gigantic wing off the back of the mech surprised the most, extending the jump range a full 60 meters!

When engaged by Loyalist forces, it was also found that the Society had stripped off the cheap original plate and installed Ferro-Lamellor, making each machine surprisingly tough to knock out.

Wow that Vlar 300 XL engine makes this puppy expensive! But you kinda need it along with the Endo-Steel to afford the 38.5 tons of Hardened Armor that covers the mech.

The mech also makes used of the Akuma's electronics as the factory was making them also. This Atlas sports a combo of PPCs, Medium X-Pulse Lasers and an MML-9. Its got decidedly light weapons but the combo of Hardened Armor and Angel ECM lets it play tricks on the enemy and just refuse to die.

Free Case does not help much in an ammo explosion in the leg and the 2 B pods is enough to discourage a point of elementals . If you do not envision fighting clans 3 iOS streak launchers and an armored Gyro . Someone else mentioned the streak srm ammo in the leg is less than Ideal.

Clan Jade Falcon's crazy up-in your face take on the Hunch IIC. With no less than ten I-HMLs! Potentially a hundred damage on tap...all for the small price of an overheat which WILL shut down the machine if you dare touch the Alpha Strike button. 19 Freezers do not nearly cover the heat output this thing can produce. However, the Falcons did up the engine to a 300, giving it 6/9 in mobility, which is decent. They also went all out on the armor to the point the mech wastes tonnage.

I barely add a half ton of extra armor to the mech, leaving it with 28 tons of pod space to play with and the remaining 3 extra engine mounted heat sinks (As this is supposed to be a modified Hellbringer model so really I could only mess with the armor. So I went with Laser-Reflective armor as standard to protect the mech. While it won't be very good against melee (or falling over), vs the various really nasty Clan Energy weapons this makes the Shiny-ki actually fairly good on protection. The armor has also been moved around, each frontal location can withstand a Gauss Rifle slug...and that's about it. Each rear location can take a 7 point hit...or rather the Clanner ER Medium laser won't punch through right away due to the glass armor.

I did add anti-missile systems to the mech to try and ward off the Clanner missile fire which also is quite popular in downing mechs but this thing was never going to have lots of armor anyways.

Two Heavy PPCs (For the big guns), twin Extended LRM-20s (For the things that insist on staying away from you as you lumber towards them) and a brace of Medium Pulse Lasers (With X-Pulse) to handle anything that rushes close. A single Light PPC points backwards to help cover things that might try to fly behind it but stay out of range of the Pulses.

40 tons of armor make sure this mech is pretty much immune to piloting checks (you get a -4 to the roll from the super-heavy class and -2 from being a quad) so being knocked over is very, very hard.

With the Republic Celestials I more had the idea of the Republic refurbishing a handful of each type that was semi-salvaged off the battlefield and putting them into service as last ditch weapons, maybe against the Clanners (With Ilclan around the corner)

The Arrow IV is nice to have, but I hate waiting for the missile to come down depending on the range (I really like playing on huge maps). It just seems to hang there forever.

So lets replace it with a weapon that will get there on the same turn, albeit without the really long range...
The Extended LRM-20's max range of 38 hexes should let it engage almost anything well before it comes into range (except artillery) and it could be pretty good for immobilizing tanks at super long range. To fit the ELRM-20 the mech has a light fusion engine added and the compact Gyro taken away. Instead of the Medium X-Pulse the mech now sports a ER Medium Laser and a Small X-Pulse Laser to kill infantry. The basic ten freezers will struggle if you dare alpha strike with this mech...

An industrial mech copy of the original Mackie Battlemech, this "Mackie" is nothing more than an assault class Industrial chassis dressed up to mimic the very first battlemech. Despite this, its actually a credible threat on the battlefield, especially out in the boonies where the only opposition might be pirates with rough and tumble light battlemechs.

So, this Mackie might have an ejection seat but it lacks any form of environmental sealing, limiting its deployment to places where the atmosphere won't kill the pilot. To protect the vulnerable interior the mech sports Twenty Six and a half tons of armor, while not 100% coverage it is pretty potent and makes it a chore to smash down all that armor.

For weapons the "Mackie" sports the exact same layout as the very first battlemech, in having a PPC, a center torso large laser and an Autocannon/5. Seventeen single heat sinks handle the heat output pretty well.

As a humorous note, it is noted that this mackie clone, despite being made of inferior components, is considered the exact equal in battle value as the classic MSK-6S at 1461 BV.

(I wasn't aiming for it to end up at the EXACT same battlevalue, it just ended up that way I swear!)

The Raider Mk.III is a refit of the Mk.II with a new engine (Fuel-Cell!) replacing the old ICE. The Fuel-Cell is both lighter and lets the mech get up to 64kph again. The TSM has been deleted to save an whole extra million c-bills and to make repairs easier.

Weaponry the Raider Mk.III sports a refurbished Imperator-A Class 5 autocannon with two whole tons of ammo. Some will argue that's too much but its encouraged to stock different ammo types (Flak maybe?) for different purposes. The Dual Saw is gone at last...replaced by a massive spiked ball and chain. The Wrecking Ball actually serves a purpose, meant to allow the Raider to smash open buildings and then loot them. But it was noted that the thing might strike the mech itself. To protect the cockpit the head was fitted with defensive spikes. No less than five machineguns are now in the torso of the mech, fed from a half-ton stuck in the center torso (sigh). While this makes the mech very good at mowing down infantry it does present a small problem of exploding. Ten tons of plate protect the mech from harm.

The mech is fitted with three heat sinks and the Mk.III has one blessing. It's completely heat neutral. You can run, fire the auto-cannon and you won't raise a blip on the heat scale. Of course Inferno Missiles will kill you but hey...a hair under 3 million cbills! It's cheap! And unlike a modified Industrial mech, THIS has an Ejection Seat and Environmental Sealing!

The Dual Saw you removed can do the same amount of damage to buildings as the wrecking ball, right? And the iTSM would allow for double damage from punches and kicks, never mind something like a sword or hatchet (if you can find the weight for them). Plus since it's industrial TSM it's probably going to be easier to repair.

But other than that, I like it. I like it a lot. What about replacing two or three of the MGs with RL-10s for some supplementary firepower?
Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 23 November 2020, 10:39:03: The Dual Saw can do 3d6 damage to buildings but the Wrecking Ball does 4d6. Plus, it's a neat look of having a Raider charge an enemy swinging that thing over its head...and then having it bounce off its own cockpit. TSM would affect the punching and kicks but it adds like a million extra to the cost of the mech itself.

I considered RLs but I didn't want to mess with the one thing this machine did right, which was handle its own heat output. Remember, with a Fuel-Cell or ICE, you gotta do an ammo-overheat roll for it to see if the ENGINE explodes if you get too hot...

'WHAT! WHERE?'

'Sir! Transmitting scans now.... appears those Marauder IIs have a bigger gun barrel than before!'

( Mentally : How and where did they get these? )

* Artillery blasts the area as the Dragoons mopped up the Ryuken-ichi *

Hope you like the micro story... makes good fluff as we know the Ryuken-ichi was wiped clean at the Battle of Misery by the Dragoons, it also helps that they did use Marauder II's, having exclusive ownership and all until Barbra Miller's upgrade!

I wanted to build a Super Heavy with a standard engine, not an XL. I figured this would make the mech surprisingly tough to knock out. I went with the Stalker as the basis and simply doubled the tonnage. Since Super Heavy mechs get a massive bonus to staying upright I figured having the ability to flip arms would nicely cover the back. Having a bunch of Lasers, dual Snub-PPCs and the small pulse lasers deal with infantry trying to get close. Angel ECM makes it a tad harder to hit (as Ghost Targets still work for Super Heavies...I think).

So even if you blow off both side torsos, the mech has a Heavy PPC buried in the chest to provide heavy firepower.

And best of all...its pretty cheap compared to other Super Heavies!

Having a bunch of empty chassis was a problem for Vandenberg Mechanized so they took a shortcut. They fitted a Fuel-Cell engine and a pair of lighter MRM-20 racks in place of the LRM-20s. The Medium Lasers were replaced by Machineguns as they wouldn't stain the heat system. Worried about the heat causing the engine to blow itself up the engineers fitted enough single heat sinks to cover all possible heat from the mech itself.

Title: Re: Reven's only slightly Used mech hanger
Post by: RevenVrake on 04 April 2022, 21:15:18: I've always felt that the Word of Blake, despite building and fielding the Omega Super Heavy, needed a special Super-Heavy for their MD Shadow Divisions. Something scary.

Something that...needs boss music.

So here is my crack at it.

Code: [Select]
Principality Super Heavy Mech Prototype Mass: 185 tons Chassis: Celestial Series SHA1 Power Plant: Magna Cruising Speed: 21.6 kph Maximum Speed: 32.4 kph Jump Jets: None Jump Capacity: 0 meters Armor: Durallex Divine Proactive Armament: 2 Large VSP Laser 1 Medium VSP Laser 2 Heavy PPC Manufacturer: Martinson Armaments Primary Factory: Terra Communication System: Master's Voice Cel-Alpha Targeting & Tracking System: Master's Sight 1-Omega Introduction Year: 3077 Tech Rating/Availability: F/X-X-F-X Cost: 30,865,880 C-bills Type: Principality Super Heavy Mech Technology Base: Inner Sphere (Experimental) Tonnage: 185 Battle Value: 4,051 Equipment Mass Internal Structure Endo Steel 18.5 Engine 370 Fusion 36.5 Walking MP: 2 Running MP: 3 Jumping MP: 0 Double Heat Sink 21 [42] 11 Superheavy Gyro 8 Superheavy Cockpit 4 Armor Factor (Reactive) 560 35 Internal Armor Structure Value Head 4 12 Center Torso 56 82 Center Torso (rear) 30 R/L Torso 39 60 R/L Torso (rear) 18 R/L Arm 31 62 R/L Leg 39 78 Right Arm Actuators: Shoulder, Upper Arm, Lower Arm Left Arm Actuators: Shoulder, Upper Arm, Lower Arm, Hand Weapons and Ammo Location Critical Heat Tonnage Double Heat Sink LL 3 - 1.0 2 Heavy PPC CT 8 15 20.0 Angel ECM Suite CT 2 - 2.0 Active Probe CT 2 - 1.5 Double Heat Sink RT 3 - 1.0 Targeting Computer RT 6 - 11.0 Hatchet LA 13 - 13.0 3 Double Heat Sink LT 9 - 3.0 Double Heat Sink RL 3 - 1.0 Improved C3 Computer HD 2 - 2.5 Medium VSP Laser RA 2 7 4.0 Double Heat Sink RA 3 - 1.0 2 Large VSP Laser RA 8 10 18.0
So, the Principality is an Archangel that gained 85 extra tons of weight. There is no compact engine or gyro here as the superheavy sheet already sorta shrinks the engine and gyro down to half their crits for no weight. No XL engine here though, and that center torso has a lot of stuff in it!

Main guns are paired Heavy PPCs and LVSPs. A single Medium VSP is the backup gun. All of these are tied into an 11 ton Targeting Computer for added accuracy. 21 Freezers pretty much handle the heat load. There is nothing explosive in this mech so you can ride the heat dial as much as you're daring.

But if you get close...that's no retractable blade in the left arm. No that's a full Hatchet, 13 tons of blunt force 'go away'.

A full Angel ECM, Beagle Active Probe and the C3i computer also put in an appearance, as this thing is going to anchor a MD Level II and dare you to try and move it. 35 tons of Reactive Armor also ensure that the main choice of hits (artillery) might not do as much as you hope to thing. AC20s become AC10 hits... The armor and survivablity are the main scary reasons this is a monster as it lumbers towards you at 32kpg.

Also if Super-Heavy TSM was a thing holy cow. But a 37 point hit without TSM is very amusing. Love to see more Omni variants of it honestly.

Holy Light Show Batman! 2 Heavy PPCs, 4 Light PPCs, a Plasma Rifle with 40 shots and a left-over ER Small Laser. All tied into a Targeting Computer. Ouch. And that big 13 ton Hatchet is still in the left arm! Now since the armor is not exotic this machine just has a Panther's weight in standard plate...which let's be frank is ridiculous already. There is no fragile XL engine in this thing, just a harder to hit Standard Engine and the Super Heavy Gyro is effectively a Compact Gyro as everything is so compact.

Fixed equipment is a cool Angel ECM suite and the usual Blakist C3i Computer.

And oh my god this thing has four Heavy PPCs...and thirty Freezers to keep them cool! While it lacks the Targeting Computer that you'd normally expect the sheer number of big guns this loudout has will keep enemies at arm's reach. For if they try to get under the guns (or backstab), this monster has a pair of Large VSPLs mounted in the arms so they can rotate! Two of the Big PPCs live in the center torso so even if you blow off the main arms and torsos this thing will still have guns to shoot at you!

You want infantry, tanks and battlearmor to hate you? How about a pair of sawed off Long Tom Cannons...each with a 20 round magazine? Combine that with a Center Torso Heavy PPC and Medium Laser with tied in Targeting Computer? This thing is pure murder on conventional forces and fast movers. It can even flip its arms to fire those big guns backwards!

The dual long range missile racks on this loadout give the big mech some serious reach. I mean, outside of artillery nothing else really reaches out the same way as these two Extended LRM-20 racks. Six tons of ammo each also ensure that the big launchers make sure the mech can rain down firepower for a good while. And if someone dares to try and get close to get under the minimums...they got to give some thought to the main defenses. Ten Medium Lasers and two Medium Pulses mean this thing can totally lightshow an enemy...and the number of freezers keep things cold!

Wanna reach out and touch someone? How about four Gauss Rifles and twenty rounds of ammo apiece? The only extra guns on this thing are a pair of extra ER medium lasers and a sole ER small laser. Also, no heat issues with this machine. You can bathe it in Plasma Fire and only slightly warm the pilot! The Big Guns are all in the side torsos, letting the arms be used as Shields to protect the mech.

Similar to the big gun Long Tom Cannon variant, this version however instead goes the route of sporting a pair of the largest Gauss Rifles the mech world has ever seen. And both of them are tied into a 12 ton targeting computer! 24 slugs apiece keep these big guns booming and also let the mech flip its arms to remind any backstabbers of what might be a bad idea. Secondary weaponry is no less than five Medium Lasers all tied into that TarComp and all stuffed in the center torso. A pair of flamers in the feet finish off the loadout.

This variant is noticeable in that it is quite underweight, not using 4.5 tons of its capacity. This is mostly due to the stuffing of the chassis with as many freezers as it can hold plus four coolant pods in the arms. This is to try and handle the almost supernova star level of heat coming from the Four Clan ER PPCs, the three Clan Large Pulse Lasers and the four Clan Medium Pulse Lasers. 30 Freezers by themselves let the mech fire its quad ER PPC array without worry but with the pods it can add in the triple pulse lasers for added damage four times!

I wanted to stick to WoB technology they'd have access to in 3077. So no.

And the final variant. And I didn't want it to be merely an underwater unit. So lets go maximum Wobbie shall we?

Exanimus has a single duty. That's to wipe out a rebelling city or an entire attacking dropship force with maximum firepower. How does it do that you ask?

By fitting a full Long Tom Artillery Piece to the left arm and torso...and giving it no less than Twenty Davy Crocket-M Atomic Warheads to fire at six rounds a minute!
A full ten tons of Comm Equipment is also fitted to ensure that the pilot (who would be specifically picked for the duty) would be in contact with WoB high command at all times on the planet. An ER Large Laser, a Plasma Rifle (with 2 tons of ammo) and a single ER Small Laser are the sole backup guns for this mobile warcrime. CASE is not fitted as...why bother?

As someone who's always wanted to see a Blood Reaper with SSRM racks, this is my attempt at a Dark Ages B.Reaper.

I wanted big heavy hitting guns (iHLLs hit like a truck!) and lots of heat sinks to help balance out the sheer heat output. Now iHLLs are not the longest range guns so I fitted a Supercharger to help the machine hit 86kph and Angel ECM to help hide the mech as it closes into range to unleash those big lasers.

I had always wanted to try something like this. Mixing Hardened Armor and Reinforced Structure! Which leads to a mech that has only 4 tons of offensive equipment...but man does it have durability. And since its a standard fusion engine, blowing both arms and side torsos will only slightly inconvenience the mech as it keeps shooting with two ER Medium Lasers. Mobility is somewhat helped by 3 jumpjets.

There just comes a point in time when the question begs ‘is this TOO MICH defense?’. I mean Shields would be good, but then so would a Torso Cockpit, Interface cockpit, armoring everything in sight, a Superheavy lol. At 50 tons and that value it’s not half bad… but it’s very slow. I’d personally be tempted to drop the JJ for a Supercharger or MASC (if possible). Against IS opponents it’s still pretty decent but against Clan it’s way too slow.

Nothing official in the Medium or Heavy range last I checked. The Annihilator would be it's final evolution. Something in between, though, could be useful.

Not for lack of trying on some people's part, though.

Probably should add Protomech and Battle Armor to that list, too.

Okay, I built this after watching a Predator Hunting Grounds video. So I needed a melee weapon that was devastating (hence the hatchet), a 'plasma' weapon (Which in my case I went with a Clanner ER PPC with a capacitor bolted on) and all the stealth I could get. So in my case I slapped on both the Null Sig and Chameleon systems. That generates 16 points of heat but can be used combined.

I know, its pretty simple. ER PPCs and lots of medium lasers. But with that XL Engine I realized that if I went down to SRMs to mimic the Timber Wolf's infamous ERPPC loadout it could be easy to knock out. But you know what works in large numbers when you fire them shotgun style? Old School Medium Lasers.

So, each shoulder box mounts 4 Martell Medium Lasers, giving this cavalry mech a nice up close punch to compliment the dual ER-PPCs. Now I have no idea HOW the original Rakshasa mounts both IS Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous armor, those take up SO much space! I went down to Light Ferro to fit in more stuff. Its got the freezers to handle the heat from its big guns or its laser battery.
