(Answered) Pod-mounting turrets
« on: 23 June 2012, 02:14:49 »
Can the various turret types introduced on TacOps pp. 346-348 be pod-mounted on OmniMechs/-Vehicles? The default answer (from p. 275) seems to be yes since nothing in their construction rules or other rules text says they can't, but that gets a bit odd with vehicular dual turrets (which are their own hit location and everything) at the very least and also runs a bit counter to the standard TechManual construction rule for OmniVehicle turrets (p. 108 in that book) according to which both the turret and the weight of its mechanism must be fixed in the base configuration.

Also, assuming for the moment that they cannot be (disregard if it's doable), would the "fixed mechanism tonnage" aspect carry over? That is, would for example the weight and therefore capacity of a 'Mech turret have to be specified in advance on the base chassis?
