This is the Clans. As long as you start the fight by telling them which club you're going to use and how many times you plan to hit them, go nuts.  ;)

Clubs are overkill.  I prefer PVC pipes.

I forget what they are called, but I bid one of the long paper tubes.  You know, the ones you find on paper towels.

I would say at least Sulla (Priori) and Turk (Albion). Some more are mentioned as being produced in various sites, but no more details we have been told so far.

That would be a "dut-dut". Named for the sound it makes when you bop someone over the head with it.

@Istal_Devalis
For DA I hope for something newer than just the IS-originated Summoner refit coming from the Homeworlds.
Nevertheless I like the new Summoner. Same with the Maddog II refit. Great a Mech.
Eh.  Newer doesnt always mean better. 70 ton, 5/8 chassis, with ES and FF is about as optimised as you can get in Battletech. :) Call it a Summoner II if you want a newer name to attach to it.

Agreed.
So what about using Ferro-Lamellar armor?

Do we manufacture the armor? I thought it was only used by the Snow Ravens.

We do not have a canon prove that we can produce that armor so far.
However, given TacOps, production was started in 3070. Lum would be an obvious site for that, and given the rumor that we conquered that star system, that is a speculation with a high likelihood  ;)

Of course, the odds are good that the part of the plant that produces the armor was boxed up and shipped to the Inner Sphere, or was scuttled altogether. [whipit]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That left 27t pod capacity and 28 free crits. With that you can do some fine configurations.  :)

I think and feel that it has too few space.. you are required to use Energy for the most part. I dont dislike Energy weapons, but it lacks flexibility for other stuff.

You can make it work but its going to be a tight fit. its going  to be harder to use some of the heavier weapons like the Ultra 20 AC.

It is going to be quite a challenge. Are you afraid of?  }:)

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

Just an example:

RA/RT: UAC/20 - (RA: 6 crits, RT: 2 crits) - 12t
RT: Ammo (UAC/20) 15      - 3 crits          - 3t
LT: 3xMedium Impr. Heavy Laser- 6 crits - 3t
RA: 2x ER Large Laser - 2 crits                 - 8t     
RA: 1xDHS                   - 2 crits                 - 1t

Otherwise you could go with Endo-Composite, though that might be a lil difficult to... aquire.

Wha? When did this happen? I can't remember no Pack Hunter in our Touman. I thought those were pretty much exclusive to the WiE, though I don't doubt the Kells got their own share of the output.
And I don't think Upsilon went in for some salvage on Arc-Royal. That, I should definitely be aware of, if that had been the case :P

See the Rat in FM: U, secondline. There is the Packhunter included.
Probably we got some via Shark Fox traders.

Either that or it's just some RAT weirdness again. I tend to take RAT entries with a pinch of salt if they don't have supporting fluff.

At least when the RATs limits Omnis to specific configurations. For example i doubt we use only the C config of the Savage Coyote. ;)

Question to the Adder fans,

Truscott was given the luxury of picking the warriors who would serve in his Clan. Any thoughts on what he was looking for when he canvassed the 800 to select his 40? What traits/skills/aptitudes/abilities and so forth he was seeking?
