Dreams really do come true.

his belief in his own hype is so legendary it made mecha happen.

he is definitely the kind of man to refer to himself as such. top kek. just look at that swarthy carpet of arm hair.

eh Catachan has some major issues too. the Hi-G environment means they have to over build everything. they have little infrastructure and a small population to work from that is entirely dependent on immigration to keep afloat right now. they are and will be important but they aren't gonna be in...

yeah making an upgrade kit for refits in addition to the new model seems like a good path. PeaceMaker's mark 3 seems good adds more armor DHS allows you to throw alphas and jump like crazy ditch the ammo bomb MGs for flamers. what sort of 55 tonner would they aim for? they could also get a 90...

2nded seeing them debate what to do to upgrade the hawk would be fun. the debate on the XLFE alone would be good to see. on a faster mech like that you are gonna get a better return but that expense is high. they might also come up with a cheaper refit kit based around FF and DHS and sticking...

I get the large laser. it provides a bit of punch as the smallest big gun. it lets you out range or get superior range brackets on MLs and other short range guns. you could probably get on that fires 5 or so MLs instead I suppose but that large laser is a big threat to the scout mechs it would...

I will agree that you don't want the Pixie hunting infantry usually. I will say that if it is the only mech you got with anti infantry capabilities then that is prolly what it is gonna have to do at some point. I also think that if playing combined arms you probably want at least one mech that...

huh they stuck the ammo in the CT... on the one hand you will die if it blows. on the other it is technically the most armored and protected part so I can see some logic behind putting it there since if it blows in either torso it would still kill you. while MGs are negligible damage they are...

other than expense what would you say it's flaws are from the perspective of a scout mech?

Lyrans make some pretty great mech in general. they just suffer from chronic incompetence and have major corruption issues.

I can see how it would have been a dead design in canon. way too undersinked for that PPC. I would almost rather have the primitive version over the 6B. the 6C is better but that PPC is still eating all your heatsinking. it feels like both would prefer a large laser instead of the PPC and some...

while individuals may care a bit QQ mostly wants lewds and is relatively apolitical. especially with modern politics.

yeah but telling a military to spend a year or more building the factory that will build something that will be obsolete within the decade is a bitter pill to get them to swallow. better to tell them which of the bad bunch is better and that improvements are within sight.

then just make recommendations to procurement for which introtech fighters can be a stopgap while you upgrade. lyrans have money and can shell it out for good product if they know what to buy. just make it clear that these are not the same as the upgraded tech and will likely need to be replaced...

his Anti Lostech plan isn't to make down grades. it is to proliferate the tech in the commonwealth. in a few years most of the Lyran's big producers will have some lostech production. making his relatively small production capacity less relevant strategically. short term his obscurity through...

in battle tech FTL comms are a limited resource. there is a maximum bandwidth for transmission and receiving. Comstar controls the price and there is no under bidding it. they have likely set the price such that it is not economically feasible to send constant agitprop into your neighbors territory.

happy to see you back writing this. the sergeants opinion is noted. though you do get more ability to fire behind you with the MLasers in the arm. ability to aim them higher and lower too. but you do have that right arm for that so having a dedicated shield arm is an argument. edit: with the...

not really disagreeing on the expense part. you can get an atlas for the cost of a Pheonix Hawk LAM. was operating from I got a LAM what do I do with it. they make better scouts than an aerospace fighter doing a fly by and have more bite, staying power, and speed than a bug mech (not by much)...

LAMs should mostly be very high end expensive scouts I think. to that end if they find themselves in combat they should flee. they can find a niche against things like arty where suddenly having a lance of light mechs operating at introtech levels appearing can do solid damage. I'm sure there...
