Ontos Challenge

old poster with blinder post comment: Which program do you use to get that pretty stat read out?  I have (finally, within the last month or so) got MML.  If that feature is there, how do you use it? (my word program is MS Word 2013).

right: Nice looking killer there! ... I continually see Chem or Reg MLAS and think 'meh', until I think of how much damage they really do when you have a bank of them (and hit).

Just Solaris Armour Werks, a subprogram of Solaris Skunkwerks. It's a little out of date and I still can't add new tech like Superchargers for some reason, but it's got excellent default formatting.

Aha, SAW is next on my download list to try out ... between kids and sheer laziness, may be a while before I get around to it (to be fair, barely figuring out MML at the moment).

MML is rather oddly-formatted when exporting to text: spaces in strange places, inappropriate linefeeds. You may have to switch on the old style in the options.

I know, I know, its an ONTOS thread, but given the concept is Chemical Lasers & they are clan made, and the Clans don't own an Ontos factory, well, I got to thinking that there might be another option.


Clan Jade Falcon captured an Assault Tank factory that also uses LRMs w/ short ranged weaponry.
I give you the SturmFeur-C based on the SturmFeur-SRM variant, but, you know, with Lasers :)

The hull mounted LRM is now twin ATMs.
The Turret MG/SRM4 are now APG/M-Chems

The chassis/engine are unchanged for simplicity  (Other than Clan now gives it "Magic-CASE".
I did upgrade the Armor to save some weight to make room for all the ammo that was needed.

that is very nice.  You can still go mixed IS and just use clan weapons right? Or if JF has the factory I'm sure they've placed some techs in there to make sure everything is installed properly.

The ML are almost an afterthought when you factor in the ATM's HE ammo ... at medium range for the ML, APG and ATM this thing will be like shredder!

Looking at the original image, I think you're fully in line if JF does a slight chassis redesign, perhaps setting the turret farther back for the direct fire weapons and having the ATMs mounted directly front.
