thoughts on 20 ton mechs?
>>
>>97368259
Fun... Fun!
>>
>>97368259
If they're built well, they're really fun. I have to imagine MechWarriors who willingly stick with 20 ton mechs are some of the biggest adrenaline junkies around.
>>
>>97368259
20 ton bug fights can be hilariously fun.
>>
The clans having an ultralight mech and only one seems stranger than not having any at all.
>>
>>97368259
The box truck I drive is rated for 26 tons. Does that mean I could carry a bug mech?
>>
>>97368259
The Locust is the only one that doesn't seem like a death trap.
>>
>>97368312
Can it carry a load of at least 7 meters long?
>>
>>97368259
that big titty bitch drives one so they're ok
>>
>>97368317
You haven't look at all the 20 tonners available have you?

There are only like 4 canon ultralight battlemechs and one of them is a drone.
>>
>>97368237
Yeah, guy worked on Shadow of Mordor, was a walking encyclopedia of all thing Battletech and Shadowrun.
He was the one who kept the game lore in check, that is why the DLC lore is all over the place with heavy metal being pure fanfiction with a true AI and jumpship landing on planets straight from star wars.
And the whole accusation from a guild wars 2 dev well past her prime looking for some attention proved to be a nothing burger. All it did was broke the man's career over nothing and caused HBS to panic delete anything with him in it. So all the dev diaries and DFA VODs.
So fuck HBS, they deserve paradox leaving them high and dry. It's a good thing they will never be let near the IP again.
>>
>>97368477
Wasp, locust, Stinger, Dasher, Thorn, Kabuto. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
>>
How much clantech did Comstar salvage and use for their own mechs after Tukayyid?
>King Crab loses one of it's arms to a Hunchback IIC in an ambush
>manages to dome it and the pilot requisitions his AC/20s be replaced with the salvaged UACs
>>
>>97368555
You missed the likes of the Baboon, Mercury and Piranha. There's a few others as well but those tend be the tankier options.
>>
>>97368576
>King Crab with clan UACs
I will post this pic at every opportunity.

>>97368259

Didn't we have an ultralight design competition back in the day?

I assume everything he said was correct if that's the response.

Love the Brian Snoddy collection of Battlemechs. Theres just something about them thats adorable. They aren't to big, aren't to heavy. They have clear cut jobs to do.
>>
>>97368530
I heard he once grabbed a girls ass on a stream?
>>97368778
I hope they never remove the Arctic Fox dick gun!
>>
>>97366646
What is the source for this info and those references?
>>
>>97368785
The Dick Gun is important!
>>
>>97368812
I wonder if there is a full list of all mechs with dick guns? I know the Shootist and Mackie do have them. Just wondering what else?
>>
>>97368778
He seems to have a very specific idea of what mech hands should look like.
>>
>>97368859
There should be, and someone should make one if there isn't.
>>97368922
The hands and cockpit canopies make me think all of his mechs are just dudes in power armor, or autonomous robots. Hell, these guys could probably be in a 3100s CGI television show about outcast nerds in highschool.
>Eagle, the Smart one.
>Cossack, the Daring one.
>Duan Gung, the Fat One.
>Kabuto, the Fast One.
>Garm, the Leader.
>Arctic Fox, the One Who Hit Puberty First.
>These six friends have to somehow survive Battlemech Highschool, dealing with problems from math homework and nuclear physics to relationship woes and the upperclassmen Clan Bullies.
>Will Cossack take sweet little Urbie to the Freshmen prom?
>Will Kabuto make it as a varsity track runner?
>Will anyone stop Arctic Fox from hitting on every teacher younger than a hundred years old?
>Battlemech Highschool. Coming to Holovideo spring of 3130.

>>97368859
Dragon Fire had a very large medium laser barrel on its crotch, though the new model got rid of it. Mackie's "dick guns" are really more like belly-guns since they're above the hip joint.
>>
>>97368778
Garm looks like it should have an ac/20 instead of a 5.

All fall to Fireball

What's that on the left of the cossack?
>>
>>97369057
Eagle. All TRO 3060 designs.
>>
>>97369057
It has one job, TAG. It has a Tag, a ER Large Laser, and and I think an ER Medium laser. 25 tons, 5 jump jets, 5 tons of armor, and a 125 vlar engine.
>>
>>97368812
Wait if the Neurohelmet connect is connecting you to the mech to the point it almost feels like a second body, does it unironically feel like your shooting lasers our your dick?
>>
>>97369088
Yes! Yes it does!
>>
>>97369088
>Wait if the Neurohelmet connect is connecting you to the mech to the point it almost feels like a second body
It doesn't neurohelmets are not DNI.

The Dick gun is a reference to Star League design principles. Heritage, not hate.
>>
Which 'mech is closest in function to, or equally matched with a zaku?
>>
>>97369066
>>97369077
That's shockingly decent. I may start using this guy
>>
>>97369172
I've used him a few times on MegaMek and while he doesn't offer much, what he does offer is decent speed, decent armor, an ER Large Laser, and the TAG. Combined with my Yeoman and Whitworths and the Eagle makes a decent spotter.
>>
>>97369158
Dragon
>>
>>97369158
Vindicator.
>>
>>97369093
DNI turns your mech into your new body outright.
Regular Neurohelmet blurs the lines more.
>>
>>97369267
Neurohelmets just read your mind, they don't make you feel things as if the mech is part of your body.
