I'm not a fan of cluttering up the forum with custom designs, so until Skyhigh gets some kind of armory system working I'm going to dump all my concepts into this one thread.

First off, who doesn't love an Atlas? Nobody, that's who! But what could be better than an Atlas? Why, an Atlas that can actually fire past ~270 meters!

I designed this initially to fit the Active Probe onto a command 'mech- outside of fluff reasons, in advanced rulesets it gives your commander bonuses against aircraft. With much further ranges and more overall damage, I really think until the advent of MMLs or experimental tech that this is the better Atlas you can make.

Next up, my idea of an Annihilator IIC, spawned from /BTG/ threads of a "Burrock Confederation" idea. In principle, the Society would wisely have been using the beaten bandit kingdoms in the invasion corridor as slaves and pilot fodder, and had managed to set up their own faction somewhere in the deep periphery as a secondary base to the Tanis system. While sparse (and largely dumb), the idea was cool with them using the Ryan and Grimm "bloodnames", whom had multiple, somewhat stable forms of mutagenic virothearapy preformed on them to make them better warriors in exchange for lower total lifespans. But hey, you're a clanner, you might live to 50 so who cares?

I intended the "Screamer" Banshee as a combo of either a custom ride for a player character, or as a refit for the army of BNC-3E's still running around the inner sphere who haven't had their GM 380s ripped out. Naturally, the best idea is to turn it into a mobile cannonball and specialty AC round shooter. Still got that cigar small laser too- it pays to be that badass. Toss a Melee master pilot inside and rip shit up with an assault that costs less than 2,000 BV.

Overview:
Built to replace the Götterdämmerung, the Indefatigable has been made to solve 
all of the precursor's shortcomings as a heavy including it's false rapport of 
massive damage absorption. The Indefatigable uses nearly the same weapons 
loadout, however mixes Ballistic-rienforced plating with an expensive Blue 
Shield field system and Laser AMS to blunt all attacks except for laser 
weapons, physicals and artillery. This combination also makes the Indefatigable 
nearly impervious to missle attacks- the rienforced plating already blunts 
rocket's by half, after the AMS system has done it's job.


Otherwise, the design follows the Götterdämmerung so closely Blackstone would 
sue if they could. It shares the same profile of ER PPC and LRM 15, however 
it's heat woes mean the lasers are standard profile. However, while hot the 
Indefatigable can manage it easily and the LRM has twice the munitions as it's 
progenitor. It's 12 doubles are taxed, but pilots soon learn to rely on the LRM 
for cooldown periods and leave the AMS systems on when possible.


Most importantly, the Indefatigable uses a basic cockpit system, giving pilots 
the ability to eject if things go wrong. It's chassis is a simple Endo-steel 
the likes of which have been made for over 75 years, and the engine is none 
other than the venerable VLAR 300; a fusion core that has stood the test of 
time like few others.

"The auspex of Castle Brom had long detected the alien warship of the Reclaimers, who had made their intentions known in other systems of the artifacts they were searching for with gunfire. At planetary 0230 hours on the night side, fast drone fighters met our own valiant Interceptors in high orbit and began trading fire, soon devolving into a light show that could be seen from space. Only due to the liftoff and placement of 2 Leopard dropships- the Dawn's Mark and Open Arms- were our aerospace fighters able to continue with fuel resupply and fresh pilots while the Reclaimers continued to disgorge fighters into the fray.

At 0400 their warship maneuvered into a close-orbital plane, and an unknown fighter dropped from the battle area into atmosphere- it was quickly lost on radar due to ECM interference. As our aerofighters broke to regroup on the other side of the planet, at 0455 Reclaimers began combat-dropping on-world against the Castle which readied itself for orbital fire. However, at 0510 the aerofighter was detected again- this time at Nape-of-earth- maneuvering directly at the Castle. With all castle guns pointed at the oncoming invasion, there was little time to prepare for the marauding aerofighter and at 0512 Castle Brom was struck by a nuclear missile rated at over 300 kilotons. The castle was taken by an estimated ~1130 with few survivors. All have since perished due to fallout.

This "technical readout" is merely an approximation based on what data remained after the blast and ROMs uncovered. It's ability as a "land-air" Mech are believed simply due to the fact that the initial fighter landed some ~60 kilometers away at sea, but was able to keep to nape-of-earth movement and cross that quickly. The existence of other weaponry- and it's total speed- is only an approximation. Naturally, if such a unit is seen in-field, it must be treated as a priority target."

There is backstory there.  I kinda wonder what the context is.

I'm also impressed that you managed to get 300kilotons of explosive out of a 500 tons weapon.

I actually matched current nuclear weapons (at least, what is publicly known) and 'upgraded' them to that- it's a 5-ton missile and only "flies" 5-7 maps, so it's gotta be one hell of a warhead. But I did forget that the firing unit has to get out of the way, so...

Also, this needs almost nothing to be a 'mech used in your games. The 'Liquid' storage is literal- its for more fuel for airmech/aerotech modes and is almost necessary, as are the Improved jump jets. That 5-ton bay can also carry nearly every different missile type. If you use it, you would likely want to use pulse lasers, SNPPCs, or other things to act as a backstabber.

The backstory is focused on a custom faction I made for a game that uses Btech rules as a guide. Think Grey Knights, but more sensible and focused on drones/AI for the heavy lifting. All their designs i'll put into another thread.

My only thought on this one is: why the 15s instead of another four 10s?

Prince posted this 14 August 2018

I think it was just because RL 15s and 20s are completely outclassed by the 10, and I purposefully wanted to break that a little.

The Incubus II is neat, but seriously looses out on NOT being an Omni- which, if the Hells Horses can make that POS called the Balius mid-invasion into Falcon space, they can afford to make an omni that's GOOD. The plan for the Incubus X here is "Big Light"- use Omni capability to ferry Protomechs with magclamps (or battle armor) to the front and use the handhelds to carry basic weapons. Being a 40 ton omni, a Roc is considered to "weigh" 4 tons and thus does not affect speed (this changes with a handheld of course) Which in the prime config should allow one of these to still jump 7 hexes, drop it's toddler off, and fly away with it's handheld for shenanigans.

Funny enough, per the math the 40 ton weight is perfect for this- while you free gyro/engine weight if you go 35 tons you loose out on properly carrying protomechs and handhelds, but you can't go heavier without loosing the ability to jump 10 hexes.

Amusing, but with two problems (unless errata I don't know about solves them):

1) There are too many weapons in the first handheld weapon mount. Quoth TacOps: "...a Handheld Weapon may be constructed with a maximum of six heavy (vehicular-class) weapons..."

2) Unfortunately, machine gun arrays are illegal to mount in a handheld weapon. Only Artemis IV/V and TAG are eligible.

Prince posted this 20 August 2018

1. So we swap 2 RL 10s for a single 15, no problem.

2. Really? The Incubus II has an array for it's MG handheld. If so, we can simply slap a crap-ton of Heavy Machine guns together.

Either way, I checked TacOps and it makes no mention about arrays being illegal. Do you have a page number for that?

Looking at my copy of TRO: Prototypes, the Incubus II's "Machine Gun Weapon" has 4 machine guns, a half-ton of ammo, and a half-ton of armor, but no array. Similarly, the Quickdraw's Anti-Infantry Weapon has 5 machine guns, but no array.

As for arrays not being allowed to be installed in handheld weapon mounts, it's an extrapolation from the following line in TacOps, page 314: "No items described as 'Other Equipment' (other than Artemis or TAG) may be incorporated into a Handheld Weapon design." as well as Techmanual listing MG arrays under "Special Equipment," which is where TAG can be found (source: Inner Sphere Heavy Weapons and Equipment Table [Cont.], page. 342). In fact, I just realized that that also makes the NARC configuration illegal, as the NARC Missile Beacon is in the same section.

No NARC? That's just trifling. I'd bring that up in a question on the Official Forums, but I don't want to deal with getting banned from there again for having opinions lmao

For this Commando, I realized- NARC and TAG are absurdly better than Artemis IV. Like, it's kinda nuts.

Overview:
Based on the -5S, the -5N Commando is an impressive refit for basic 
fire-support companies. After dropping the SRMs, the -5N uses a single NARC 
launcher with 6 rounds backed up with a C3 module; a second medium laser has 
been added to the left arm along with more armor and a MASC system.

The refit was actually highly prized by pilots- the use of only 6 rounds was 
intentional, as as scout mechs lack the armor to last in the field. All -5N 
pilots are given specific instructions- to take the best shots and to retreat 
from battle when their NARC launcher is expended. Because of this, -5N pilots 
have very good surrvival rates and plenty are still in use by the Dark Age, and 
it found a resurgance with the use of MML Launchers when Artemis IV was not 
available for missile accuracy.

I don't see what the point was in using compacts when you only have what's in the engine.. Compact HS are best put in the legs of a high heat mech that keeps access to at least level one water as each HS underwater is doubly effective making a maximum of 16 heat dissipation by using all the extra leg critical slots. or for when you must equip more heatsinks but have little room as I'm sure you intended to show with this recent design..

Prince posted this 31 August 2018

*Kinda*. One of the newly added rules in TacOps was a change in the number of compact heat sinks that can be fit into an engine- it's also halved, so once you've mounted a 125 plant every CHS fits. This 'mech was made alongside some brainstorming with anons on /BTG/, whom think that the only *real* use for CHS is in these fast missile carriers who have almost no space for much of anything.

I'd agree with your comment, but in the Dark Ages clantech is amok, and instead of using CHS you likely could mount coolant pods instead which would give you similar benefits.

Nightstalker666 posted this 01 September 2018

I'll take A-pods over coolant pods anyday, if it's a oneshot item I'm usually not a fan, especially if it's not gunna have much impact on any aspect of gameplay. 

I was wondering if you were using the "limited critical space" feature, but you answered that.
