thoughts on 20 ton mechs?
>>97368259Fun... Fun!
>>97368259If 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.
>>9736825920 ton bug fights can be hilariously fun.
The clans having an ultralight mech and only one seems stranger than not having any at all.
>>97368259The box truck I drive is rated for 26 tons. Does that mean I could carry a bug mech?
>>97368259The Locust is the only one that doesn't seem like a death trap.
>>97368312Can it carry a load of at least 7 meters long?
>>97368259that big titty bitch drives one so they're ok
>>97368317You haven't look at all the 20 tonners available have you?
>>97368250There are only like 4 canon ultralight battlemechs and one of them is a drone.
>>97368237Yeah, 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.
>>97368477Wasp, 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
>>97368555You 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 UACsI will post this pic at every opportunity.
>>97368259Didn't we have an ultralight design competition back in the day?
>>97368530>Being this cranky because you got called out as a sex pest nearly a decade agoJust get a new job already
>>97368760I 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.
>>97368530I heard he once grabbed a girls ass on a stream?>>97368778I hope they never remove the Arctic Fox dick gun!
>>97366646What is the source for this info and those references?
>>97368785The Dick Gun is important!
>>97368812I 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?
>>97368778He seems to have a very specific idea of what mech hands should look like.
>>97368859There should be, and someone should make one if there isn't. >>97368922The 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.
>>97368859Dragon 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.
>>97368778Garm looks like it should have an ac/20 instead of a 5.
>>97368259All fall to Fireball
>>97368778What's that on the left of the cossack?
>>97369057Eagle. All TRO 3060 designs.
>>97369057It 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.
>>97368812Wait 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?
>>97369088Yes! Yes it does!
>>97369088>Wait if the Neurohelmet connect is connecting you to the mech to the point it almost feels like a second bodyIt doesn't neurohelmets are not DNI.
>>97368785The 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>>97369077That's shockingly decent. I may start using this guy
>>97369172I'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.
>>97369158Dragon
>>97369158Vindicator.
>>97369093DNI turns your mech into your new body outright.Regular Neurohelmet blurs the lines more.
>>97369267Neurohelmets just read your mind, they don't make you feel things as if the mech is part of your body.
