OoC:

Paxus,

if you want to give me your Linebacker config, I can pop it into the Heavy Battle program and give you some comparison numbers regarding Battle Value.

There are two I'm looking at. The first, my preference, carries a PPC in each arm and one in the left torso, and 24 double heat sinks. The second, with a higher Combat Rating, has an ER Large Laser and 2 ER Medium Lasers in each arm, a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the Center Torso, and 28 double heat sinks. Both have maximum standard armor and an XL engine with walk 4/run 6.

Paxus,

this will not work. Neither speed nor armor can be changed on the base chassis ofr an Omnimech.

I don't have any base stats for the Linebacker in particular, only a generic 65 ton chassis. Where do I find them?

Sorry!

Thought you had the actual ominmech in front of you.

Here's the base version (Podspace 17,5 t):

[Though you seem to need more podspace for your preferred choice of weapons, so perhaps a Hellbringer (28,5t) or a Mad Dog (28t) would be more appropriate.]

18 tons of podspace would be enough, if it has enough heat sinks; Gauss rifles just don't seem to cut it when it comes to firepower, so I'm looking at (ideally) a pure PPC machine. What tonnage is the Hellbringer?

Well, the Linebacker has already 14 HS built into it, but it has to pay somewhat for it's speed of 6/9.

Mad Dog (60t): 5/8, 163 points armor, 28t podspace, 12 HS
Hellbringer (65t): 5/8 128 points armor, 28,5t podspace 13 HS

The Helbringer it is, then. If only you'd called it a Loki, I'd've grabbed it in a minute. I don't know the Clan names so well.

Oops!

Truth be told, I always referred to them by their IS names, too, but when Shalimar used the Clan names exclusively, I just followed suit.

No worries. I've come up with a primary config: One PPC in the left torso, two in the right, an ER small laser in the head (for anything too small to waste PPC shots on), and a total of 23 double heat sinks.

double-post!
