Title: WIP: Second Generation Stalker
Post by: lucho on 27 June 2019, 14:54:22

Ok, we all know that the successor to the venerable Stalker is the Stalker II. The idea here is a new design, based on the Stalker, not just a mk.II version. This is the basic model, I'm still undecided on the paint scheme.

A FWL mech? Kuritan? who would build and field a design like this?

Being that the only way to (legally) fit an MML-9 centerline is with a compact engine, I'm not really sure...

I've worked out a couple of tentative configurations: it works depending on what accompanies the launchers. At the very least, we're talking about three MML-9 launchers to go with some energy weapons :o

the center line missiles could be an lrm5 + srm4 combo...  unless the designer wants it to be an mml9.

Mixed launchers... I hadn't considered that. Interesting idea  :thumbsup:

I've opened a thread in the fan area for the stats. I've posted my initial stats for this beast; How would you all do it? (https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=65811.msg1516138#msg1516138)
