I direct you to the earlier comment, though you're correct a ppc and lrms would be fine for L1,
from a strictly fluff perspective I pretend Gauss rifles need fusion engines or power capicitors to power even though the canon rules don't say that
wait, there is no XL engine for tanks during the Star League or there isn't one in canon period?
The Alacorn has one as does the royal von luckner. Just not the fury which as a mass produced command tank going into regular army service makes sense.
Was making sure I wasn't losing my mind there for a minute
Too many tanks with XL engines at this point. The no DHS and 50% heavier engines for random reasons rule is the real limiter on tanks at this point
I was making a joke about watch them make a stupid ruling that makes no sense joke not necessarily a serious comment, but yeah thats true.
You know that, and I know that, and maybe ComStar has the records to suggest that (but even then...)
Thugs, because I like them are on the list.
Non serious: "What do you mean its a little small its a seventy ton mech?"
Its basically the introtech catapult with Davion supplied local parts for all intents and purposes, I don't think I specified what the TTS and Comms are but its basically Cataphract 1X but Davion parts
I assume with more AC-10 Ammo and the Medium lasers all forward?
You got it, because I never understood putting medium lsers rear facing... especially given the capellan doctrine,
Probably lost a heatsink to get that Ammo. Which isn't perfect nor is the Ammo detonation chance but it's not that bad and you can just eject the Ammo if the armor gets low and better location of the ammo with the AC-10 can help provide some crit padding for the Ammo.
yeah, but honestly yes it runs warm, but you don't have jump jets on the standard model, you kind of need that second ton of ammo, and the ppc is principally going to be long range since its a standard PPC. Is it optimal, not necessarily but twenty rounds of AC 10 is better than just 10 and unless you absolutely charge forward you'll be using the PPC and AC10 at range before you close, and then go to AC 10 and mediums... admittedly yes at close range there are risks, but /thats my logic
Honestly provided you aren't alpha striking and do bracket firing the heat is manageable if you turn off a medium laser or two every now and again.
I don't know why but I keep randomly rolling goliaths when I randomly generate lists. I am beginning to think it is my spirit mech... I like it fine but it isn't that common on the tables I roll but whenever I roll assaults it is either the goliath or a striker which is another 80 ton mech that uses a 320 engine.
Shout out to the quickdraw who not only has rear facing weapons but also a quirk that lets it fire both arms behind it instead of just one. it is just as dangerous forward and back. still squishy, short ranged, prone to scattering damage, and has heat issues. I want the drugs the designers had access to. they had some of the good shit.
I have heard that before. poor Justin missed the subtext. pick out something nicer man.
Yes. Alexandria was implying the fancier parade uniform or court fashion. Justin just has his cadet dress uniforms.
Oh certainly but Alexandria is expecting to getting all dolled up for what is the more or less high point of FedSun social calendar
I suppose dudes have a advantage given they only really have the tux or dress uniform as options. Well that and Justin might get given a tux by his on NA and high up in MIIO father when he arrives.
