Targeting Computers were more a Goliath Scorpion and Coyote thing. The Spirits weren't known for them, especially with their level of pilots.

That, and they considered tarcomps too expensive with the perennially limited resources they had.

Cheers, Gabe

Thread necro but new variants to talk about.

The full clan tech rebuild is very nice 2LPL and a ER PPC with enough heat sinks to use every turn yes please with max armor and SFE its a bit of a zombie mech.

Isn't there a moratorium on Golden Century material that hasn't been published before?

Its suprising that it continued in service all the way to the Dark Age. Originally its was a short lived Wolverine/Snow Raven design that quickly disappeared. Now we are finding it soldiered on.

Sarna does.

For Sarna or a Mech of the Week article. Not for discussing a variant.

It seems to be more of a case of it being back in production.

The Mech pretty solid machine and its theRavens first built mech.

Decoy · « **Reply #70 on:** 02 August 2020, 18:01:23 »

I just want to say how ashamed I am that it took me this long to realize that the Pulverizer is the biggest Wolverine. The resemblance is great in the positioning of the weapons and general looks over all.

Funnily enough, they are described in the 1st Edition Technical Readout 3050. It was really kinda neat to see them brought forward, and then used in the new TRO Golden Century.

As LG mentioned, they come from TRO3050.

I don't have my copy in front of me but IIRC they are mentioned in the same area that tells us that Missile Launchers, MG's, & Flamers weigh half as much & take up 1 less crit.

The difference is you never see the "Lighter" lasers used because the Small/Medium don't actually loose weight & why use the i-LL when you have the ERLL for same weight & crits.

I think the one unit they might be used on is Dropships from TRO2750, Titan & Confederate.
IIRC they get some extra cargo space since all the LL's are converted to the i-LL standard.
But I'm not even 100% sure of that & would have to double check the math.

Luciora · « **Reply #76 on:** 03 August 2020, 10:50:11 »

The proto-clan gear rarely gets mentioned also because we never saw a formal listing of stats, not to mention just up until recently, mechs using them.

I'm sure there are players that would have been rather fussy seeing a custom design with the proto tech, asking to see the rules about it and then only given the line about 1 space smaller and 1 ton less, or half.

People need a full rundown to accept them.

Hellraiser · « **Reply #77 on:** 03 August 2020, 12:32:38 »

Funny thing is, that line is what lead to us seeing the other tech, LRM, SRM, MG, Flamer.

The only thing we didn't see was the i-LL.

Probably because it eventually lead to the ERLL-c while the other weapons never went anywhere further except maybe seeing Streak's get reduced to the same tonnage as IS-SRMs.

VhenRa · « **Reply #78 on:** 03 August 2020, 23:41:56 »

I believe it also had listings of clan standard autocannons.

UnLimiTeD · « **Reply #79 on:** 04 August 2020, 02:27:09 »

Well, who could have predicted those would one day be useful again. ;)

Hellraiser · « **Reply #80 on:** 04 August 2020, 09:23:53 »

You know, it occurs to me, if they had just said all "3025 IS Tech" items were available to the clans at the same ratio as the SRM/MG/Flamer, IE, 1/2 weight & 1 crit less....... We might have actually seen a lot of the basic weapons.

When your IS-ML is now 1/2 ton, it starts to be competitive again v/s normal clan tech MPL/ERML.

It also would have given them something to base the Heavy Lasers on since its double damage.

Crimson Dawn · « **Reply #81 on:** 04 August 2020, 13:51:42 »

Well a clan ER small is almost there it is a half ton 5 point damage weapon though it does have IS medium pulse laser range. Give a mech some long range weapons to compensate and those small can be fairly nasty.

Intermittent_Coherence · « **Reply #82 on:** 06 December 2020, 18:21:30 »

Looks like the all Clan tech version spent has an extra 1/2 ton armor just for 1 armor point.

Seems a waste IMHO.

While I love everything about this Mech I am not a big fan of the current sculpt however the new Amarok model looks like it could be cannibalised for better legs etc. does any one have any side by side comparison picts of the amarok next to other assaults?
