One Rabid Fox changes the Succession Wars [A Battletech Isekai]

[Imperator Pax]

Honest question here, with how much BV can swing depending on loadout would it be cheaper for the MC to refit inner sphere mechs with clan equipment for an edge or use clan standard mechs?

Also, any plans for the MC's Aerospace equipment? Dropships and fighters to escort a move his troops and jumpships are going be important given the attention on him.

ASF in the short term is most likely going to be F 77 and Slantbacks which are related designs probably through Vengeances, and really given the 240 usage those will be pretty common in general especially since the Stingray is pretty common anyway

In GWW its Rapiers, Eagles, and Sabres for Gene's ASF complement, and also Wasps, but thats kind of a case 'and now you have fucked up' by that point.

In EWSG its Rapiers, and Wasps for Odin's forces predominantly, and thats probably going to be true for Heron as well.

In the longer term. Here, as well as with Odin and Heron there will probably be a transition to a frontline clan OmniFighter designs more or less once discretion is no longer a necessity. Both here, and in EWSG things like the Jengiz will show up in the 3020s in low key roles obstensibly as a look at this thing we did with the shinies probably Primes for Sakhara and alt B for Alpha Centauri respectively.

Finally, and this is definitely my personal opinion since it seems to be a stylistic choice...the beginning of this fic is just WAY too 'in medias res'. We're launched in with no real details on the character, how exactly they got their position, or even what their position is. Hell there's little to no details on the cheat power such that almost the entire time I'm second guessing how anything he summons (especially big things like jump-ships and factories that need other people to RUN them) are not just going to be immediately pounced on by the various agencies and groups on the lookout for such things. It still isn't really explained even in chapter two, and I'm just assuming that there's some sort of fiat insertion involved such that his power can make people, resources, and major pieces of hardware with no one wondering where all that stuff came from. But worst of all? What exactly is the MC's name? It's not mentioned anywhere in the first two chapters that I could find. Just his call-sign and two explanations of how he doesn't like it but is stuck with it.

Ah, he started with the prologue chapters in the BT ideas thread. There was a small mention and summary on the notes of the first chapter but I don't think he gave the link.

https://forum.questionablequesting....discussions-thread.4740/page-338#post-6812214

Edit: Reference to the Essence he is using can be found here: https://forum.questionablequesting....discussions-thread.4740/page-101#post-5134727

The basics of it is he can design and/or buy BT units using the MegaMekLab app as a basis, either with money or BV from a daily allowance (or from salvaging units with the power as a "recycle" option). Loyal crews can also be created with them, and groups/factions can be used as reference to their background/nature. There is indeed a normalizing function so there's less questions about things popping out of thin air.

 

[Imperator Pax]

Hmmm, the Clan Goth medium Omnifighter looks basically identical to the Gotha ASF. Give it double heatsinks and it's damn impressive. For Dropships I'm guessing you'll stick to upgrading standard Inner Sphere designs?

Click to shrink...

Clan Titans will show up in pretty much everything...

Isegrim, Aesir and Vanirs will show up in this and Essence.

Outposts will show up down the road, potentially here. Clan Hells Horse has a version. But yeah for the most part the Clan Titan will be the most common clan Dropship the standard dropships will be Inner Sphere versions.

Its not quite as good quirks wise as the longsword but the hammerhands comes with Barrel fists and protected actuators and I figured rugged probably ain't hard to add to such a venerable design. Also uses a new coms and tracking and targeting system much like the longsword does from the hammerhands. They're the systems the enforcer uses actually and so widely available in the Suns.
Still 3/5/3 with 14.5 tons of armor and 18 heatsinks is solid. Especially with 2 PPCs,2 SRM-6s with a ton of ammo each, and 4 medium lasers as the weapons suite

A 3/5/3 assault mech design that straddles the line between juggernaut and brawer. Its able to accompany stuff like the atlas, highlander, and stalker comfortably at the frontlines or as a example be a scary as heck bodyguard to awesomes and longbow while in both cases decently adding to the long range firepower of either group with the armor of a thug. And much like the Thug or Battlemaster on its PPC arm it has a hand . Its solid armor and excellent crit padding to mean its most likely returning home and probably just needing its armor patched up and ammo restocked at least during a combat operation. And its quirks make it a reasonably solid command assault mech option especially for its price.

I haven't given it any quirks and honestly leave that up to you. fundamentally though its a Firestarter given some modifications to be legally different and remove some design flaws and to also be a more balanced design. One that's closer to a wolfhound with 2 flammers and jumpjets instead of the large laser in all honesty.

And my third design which is basically a slightly modified enforcer which due to being a enforcer doesn't need all the fluff filled out since its on sarna so here's the hard data for it. In summary what it does is that it axes the AC-10 for a 2nd large laser, max efficient armor aka 10.5 tons , 4 more heatsinks for a total of 16, and upgrading the secondary weapons to a robust total of 3 medium lasers vs the old designs single small one.

Anyone want to do me a favor, and downtech the Cargo King dropship I don't have MML up but I know the er larges and artemis four need to go but is there anything else that needs to be gotten rid of

Click to shrink...

The Cargo King doesn't seem to have any other lostech other than the automated Cargo Bays, but I think that can be fluffed away in MML, like the Hydroponics in the Invader. Removing the Artemis and swapping the LL to standard frees up 5 tons since the Heat Sinks are already at the minimum. Without touching the crew or the bays, I used the tonnage for 1 extra ammo per launcher, to compensate for the LRMs' lowered accuracy. If need be, the base crew can be lowered to 7, freeing up 42 tons. Without changing too much, that could be 4 extra LLs, 1 gunner officer quarters (Assuming the officer quarters are for the gunners, actual officers don't seem to need them), and 12 HS to keep it heat neutral. If you're not keeping the automation, the cargo can be cut down, using up the space and tonnage for steerage quarters for bay personnel.

Oh, are you planning to summon the lost prototype, or maybe just the blueprints, for use in Galax? Seems costly though for a civ dropship, with only a few hundred more tons of cargo compared to the Mule. I suppose the draw is the lower personnel requirements and its tougher hull.

Needs more PBI blender for a Sentry (though I suppose the SL is a placeholder for Pulse later), looks more like a Watchman. Though I suppose that's a good thing, I don't know why they thought that many MGs and SPLs was necessary.

Yeah....might need to do some stuff for kathil's, firgorve's, and new sytris's yards or at least 1 of them.
and maybe get kathil's nightstar plant making a introtech variant?

also for the phone thing it just takes practice

Since its a rifleman all its subsystems and quirks should be on Sarna and the like. Alas not on MML by default and I can't be too bothered to add them so unless its wanted.

 

[Bofors40mm]

why do i imagine this is semi related to my introtech sentry/watchman variant assuming a source of FE 200s is made available for a swordman variant or the like...or is a variant for the swordsman proper needed here?

also a LRM-5 or 2 is decent long range firepower for a light or medium mech in this period.

oh i think you randomly mentioned the grasshopper on accident

Something I cooked up awhile ago a Myrmidon expy that loses the PPC due to Succession War production scarcity and maintenance hell and also downrates the engine to a 160 for much the same reason and also to add additional weapons in the form of 2 LRM-5s fed by a ton of ammo and a half ton of additional armor upping it to 9.5 tons which among other things means in theory all facings can tank a direct hit from a long tom albeit a TAC is likely. Has a MG variant that loses the 2nd LRM-5 for a pair of MGs fed by a half ton of ammo and a additional half ton of armor bringing the total up to 10 tons and costs 17 less BV and 20,300 C-bills than the stock variant. Overall the design is a bit cheaper than the original tank its inspired by and its big attraction in universe would be that you can buy 2 for 159,534 less c-bills than a single Manticore.

A large laser swordsman I threw together before I saw the authors note and figured I'd post anyways

 

[Bofors40mm]

working on something that's based off the enforcer right now actually. And for that matter the Sentry/Watchman uses most of the same parts as that canonically to speed up/ease production including the frame.
and for that matter not far back i posted a dual LL enforcer here.

Look at what goes into the Longsword components wise (which Hanse doesn't know, but coincidence I am sure).

The Fusilier started with me wondering what you could do with a slower Trebuchet. as it turns out a decent amount with the resulting 5 available tons. 2 tons of ammo, 1 medium laser, and 2 tons of armor over the stock trebuchet. And yes its a Achernar design since they have experience with fire support designs including using the Dorwinion Standard frame or close variants of it via the Dervish(which needs a slight upgrade in my POV via more armor and heatsinks via dropping the SRMs for another pair of medium lasers and 2 tons of armor and the 2 LRM-10s being replaced with 2 more heatsinks). The name of Fusilier is a hint over how cranky Achernar is with the Federal Government right now. Well that and I already have a Ranger design so a Fusilier one works naming scheme wise.

Honestly its basically a mini archer in terms of capabilities and in terms of price comparison vs its in production in the 3rd SW Missile Boat peers its roughly 59.1% of the price of the 2R Archer, 88% of the 5N Trebuchet, 75.6% of a Dervish 6M, 66.4% of a Crusader 3R and 50.9% of the 7Q Longbow.

Quirks: Combat Computer

My latest design a 85 tonner which I've posted elsewhere already and the newest in my line of mechs named after melee weapons. It would run really hot in its brackets it I didn't give it the combat computer quirk(or pulled 2 of the flamers to get the heatsinks back up to 20 vs the 18 is has if the quirk wasn't there). Its basically the kid of a 3 way between a firestarter, a warhammer, and a thug in terms of role
As always thoughts and comments are welcomed.

This writeup also contains all the missing fluff the original writeup of the stock introtech one lacks.

On another note Achernar not being the top of the trooper medium mech game isn't the end of the world for them since over three quarters of their money comes from non military stuff.

I pulled one of the SRM-6s and its ammo for 4 medium lasers (2 of which take up the position of the pulled SRM-6 and the other 2 occupy the head and CT slots where the original shogun had a medium pulse laser and a medium laser) and since its a strictly introtech design the case got pulled for another much needed ton of LRM ammo.
Also swaps out the jump jets and the remaining SRM-6 for much more common and reliable models(the Thunderstroke SRM-6 model isn't even listed on sarna it links to the SRM-4 page where there isn't a Thunderstroke model when you look and you know the many problems with the Anderson 21 Jump Jet Model) ditto for the armor which is unique solely to the Shogun( it was also slightly rearranged to give the side torsos and arms some more armor at the expense of the legs which still have plenty of armor) all of which I fell should help remove the non standard parts and difficult to maintain quirks.
Alas doesn't solve the heat problem but short of adding the combat computer quirk, improved cooling jackets to the PPC and LRMs, or pulling the jump jets its not possible in introtech.

I kept the coms and targeting systems as is since those are the same as the battlemaster's and so should be able to be produced by the time you can set up a shogun plant and they will help the suns make the battlemaster if that's wanted.

Its protected by some 16.5 tons of armor a full 4 tons more than Annihilator. Its long range punch is 2 PPCs and 2 LRM-15s with 2 tons of ammo each for prolonged downrange fire. Up close it has 8 medium lasers and 2 flamers albeit the later is mostly for anti infantry work or for creating stuff like smoke cover. And it has 28 heat sinks to keep things reasonably cool all things considered in the introtech era.

Something I designed when I looked at the AL Centurion and realized that assuming your using it as a bracket fighter its way way oversinked. and of course using a LRM-10 which is the worst LRM system. Oh and it wastes half a ton to add a single point of armor.
If nothing else that can be used to make the right arm small laser a medium one. with the saved mass via the 2 cut heat sinks and the 2 LRM-5s vs 1 10 and cutting the LRM ammo to a more reasonable single ton(if your firing 24 rounds of LRMs in a medium mech that's a brawler you probably have been in the battle too long and really should have withdrawn to rearmor so its basically a ammo bomb risk) to add a PPC, a medium laser, upgrading the small to a medium, making the rearward firing medium laser forward facing, and a flamer since anti infantry capabilities among other uses is very useful for a line mech.

The design does weaken the rear armor compared to the AL by 2 points per torso due to auto placement of the armor and also my POV that a line mech needs as much armor forward as possible especially since I pulled the rear medium laser.
It runs a slightly hot in the longer range bracket when moving but even then you can just turn off one or both the LRM5s every once in awhile to manage that.

My latest(ish I forgot I had this one file) design that's basically a Succession War era Myrmidion that's made for the resource scarcity of the succession wars and thus uses a FE 160 and a large laser rather than a FE 200 and a PPC but in exchange gains 1 ton of armor and 2 LRM-5s with a ton of ammo split between them. It also has the option of dropping a LRM-5 for a pair of MGs with a half ton of ammo and adding a additional half ton of armor albeit this option has 17 less BV. Overall it has only 24 points less armor and a tad less weapons than the Manticore which is reflected in the BV. It has only 109 BV less than a Manticore and you can buy 2 of them and still spend 159,534 less c-bills than a single Manticore and for that matter it costs some 32,000 C-bills less than a standard Bulldog but has 179 more BV than one. Oh and since it comfortably fits in a light vehicle bay you can haul 2 of them per Manticore or Bulldog assuming you have light vehicle bays available.

Very much designed with 2nd and 3rd line house units, mercs, and militias in mind while still being solid enough for 1st line and even high end units in the Succession War period. I could have given it better quirks but I give too many of my designs powerful as heck quirks like easy to maintain and rugged so I decided to mix things up this time.

As always thoughts and comments are welcome.

And yes its a atlas knockoff that doesn't have battlefists as a quirk. Something something too many postive quirk points and more importantly in universe there's the fact that its arms are different from the atlases since it has to fit a PPC in one of them and the other fits a flammer. And yes if wanted I have a modernized variant that uses such fun things as a ER PPC, a Gauss rifle, and MMLs

 

[Bofors40mm]

It certainly is a discount Atlas but in a good way. The Suns right now is starved for proper Assault mechs, excluding the other ones Henry is planning to introduce/bring back. A more affordable command juggernaut will certainly be helpful. It's less maneuverable than the alternative of a Victor for a heavy command mech but it's cheaper, tougher, has actual bonuses for leading and has more versatile firepower. Plus there's the 240 FE goodness. I suppose it depends on the commander if they'll prefer the short-range punch of the Warden versus the additional fire support and mobility of the Alecto.

Click to shrink...

they do pair pretty well together albeit they do need something to provide more indirect firepower to their formation since otherwise they can potentially get LRM spammed to death

My newest design the Sharpe. Sort of looks like a thunderbolt variant but actually started out as a mini Battlemaster. as it turns out even with the 4 jump jets added all you lose from the 20 less tons of mass is replacing the MGs and their ammo with a single flamer, the 2 aft facing Medium lasers, 2 heatsinks, 1.5 tons of armor and a ton of SRM ammo and 73 BV. Of course it does cost a lot less than a Battlemaster. It costs some 2,788,008 C-bills less than one or in percentage terms a Sharpe is only 67.2 % the price of a Battlemaster.
As for the name it totally wasn't from me rewatching part of the Sharpe series when I was designing it. And yes it's a Kallon design.


Designers note: Ignore the manufacture and chassis information on the battle maiden and war maiden designs. meant to be for something else that i never got around to. feel free to edit if needed for this fic.

Huh, I just realized that since they only had Longswords in the cargo coming from Sakhara, Henry spawned/had his techs construct the other designs on New Avalon. No wonder Ian was calling them tech-wizards before, even assuming Henry was running them ragged, it doesn't change the fact that those are several new mech designs spanning across all four weight classes.

Hmm, I suppose the Rabid Fox will be a guest of honor this New Year, probably when Ian's planning to drop the new title/s on him as well. The 5th DG RCT on Spica, so Yvonne's doing him a favor and giving him a direct line to Justin's unit.​

Click to shrink...

Forget tech wizards these dudes are miracle workers since they apparently didn't bring any tools or parts for them....which uhh yeah. That or they finished them elsewhere and shipped them to NA separately which might be a good idea in universe so people don't godamm notice magically appearing mechs including assaults since that would make NA security have a collective heart attack and also cause so many problems for Henry

and something like this for the LL variant

In both cases I tried to balance the heat levels which resulted in different MML loadouts (1 MML-7 vs 3 MML 3s due to the heat difference in the PPC vs the LL albeit you could probably just use wise heat management to rock 3 MML 3s on the PPC Centurion) and in the case of the Large Laser one the saved mass gives it the jump jets that previously it lacked and the enforcer had which massively increases its versatility and mobility albeit still not to calvary medium mech levels. and no the fluff isn't there since its a centurion and we have the fluff for that elsewhere

large laser is on point for what i had in mind

Click to shrink...

In that case....well I'd say the enforcer is in trouble but it's way way too established in the AFFS to be so. Not to mention the sheer number of my designs use its base frame or modifications( ranger, Fusilier, sentry, antares) of it and share a lot of systems and parts from it which greatly increases its logistical ease to sustain and produce compared to the centurion which is basically sharing parts with just other centurions.

Edit on another note it occurs to me the valkyrie probably is the mech that benefits the most of in production suns mechs from mml. I'll probably get around to a refit for that soon enough

a Hammerhands that uses just RACs as the sole advanced tech in it. Something I bet the Davions would drool over. no fluff since its a Hammerhands and I've posted several builds with fluff attached albeit I might change that later. Let me know what you think.
