Battletech - Blood of Kerensky

[Dire Lemming]

Actually, I was just confused with the clawed, roaring mech that popped out of the snow and attacked the Vulture. Also, from the dialogue I assumed that it was a Smoke Jaguar Vulture. Why do they keep saying "Jag"?

 

[Arkhandus]

Could be Smoke Jaguar. The picture is blurry and I cannot remember specifics of that game right now. Likewise the dialogue was not easy to make out at some points, at least on my machine. Ah well.

The jumping, roaring 'Mech is a Kodiak, though.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Oh well, never seen a Kodiak. Looks heavy.

Heh, I noticed the guy got off one last "Freebirth!" just before he got sat on.

You can get a good look at the emblem if you pause at 57 seconds. It doesn't look like Smoke Jaguar, or any animal at all for that matter.

Just for the record, I'll be going with the most classic wolf mech... the Timberwolf (Slightly modified). What's everyone else planning?

I played around with the mech designer and came up with a medium mech with a variety of weapons. I don't remember enough of the mech games I've played to build any certain type.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Hm, I really don't know what to build. I haven't played a Mechwarrior game in years and I've never played Battletech. I guess I'll use a Dire Wolf. Those have lots of weapons and heavy armor right?

 

[Brother Allard]

Holy smokes. Battletech.

The Project-From-Hell^TM is winding up tomorrow, so I'll have time to post in my games again. Yay! I'm seriously thinking about throwing my hat in the ring on this one. Never played clans though - and haven't even thought about Battletech for a long time.

Still. Great game.

 

[Rhun]

Give me a couple of days to get a mech put together, and I'm in.

 

[Arkhandus]

Hm, I really don't know what to build. I haven't played a Mechwarrior game in years and I've never played Battletech. I guess I'll use a Dire Wolf. Those have lots of weapons and heavy armor right?

Dire Wolves (Daishi to Spheroids) are more heavy-weapons platforms than armored hulks, but yeah. 100-ton Assault OmniMechs brimming with firepower and only about as much armor as a lower-end Heavy 'Mech.

 

[Drerek]

Darimaus, did you get the proposed mech I sent you?

 

[Darimaus]

Alrighty Drerek, I got the mech you sent me, and there is only one potential problem with it. You didn't increase the mechs walking speed, so it only moves 1 hex per round.

My suggestion would be to drop the Ultra AC 10, switch the engine to Fusion XL, change structure to Endosteel and crank your speed to 6 walking (the norm for mechs of your size) and add 2 heat sinks.

Another way to go, if you're a fan of the Autocannon would be to drop the PPC and the Sreak SRM 6, and switch Engine to Fusion XL and structure to Endosteel, then increase movement to 6.

If you don't care that much about speed, your other option would be to increase the tonnage.
