Fan Scenarios and Campaigns / Re: Holographic training field rules?

Well, yeah; there is that built-in training/diagnostic system 'mechs have, right?

Exactly.  And since it will be an old SLDF one, it would take Active Probes in to account, right?

Interesting.  None of the novels ever gave that impression.

Aerospace Combat / Re: Coventional Fighter with Fusion - Why Fuel?

« Last post by Daryk on Today at 09:19:25 »

LAMs in AeroMech mode don't use fuel, but as PPLP points out, they do in ASF mode.  Conventional Fighters fly much faster than LAMs in AeroMech mode, and thus need fuel to do it.  They get twice as many fuel points per ton as compared to ASF, though (basically for the reasons you list).

Fan Designs and Rules / Re: "Metal fountain" extreme performance dropship cooling system

« Last post by Maingunnery on Today at 09:14:42 »

To the contrary... I think it´s a viable system. Radiating heat only happens on the surface, naturally enough, and lots and lots of tiny droplets have more surface per mass than larger objects of the same combined mass.

But a lot of that extra surface is aimed back at the spaceship.

Also the need to concentrate any heat to create the molten metal droplets will be far less energy efficient than the normal cooling system.

Love the Highlander, and second the metal Commando over the plastic one... :)
