Under the salvage rules, you can only combine parts from mechs of the same weight. So you could slap Ryoken parts on a Wolverine or Kingfisher parts on a Cyclops but not the other way around. Also, going cross-tech is really hard to do. What most people do is strip the guns and poo poo, and use those to replace existing guns, rather than swapping limbs. If both mechs are Omnis, there's also none of that "being really hard" and "taking a ton of time" stuff. Basically in the time it takes to graft a Gladiator arm on my Hauptmann I could replace the entire weapons loadout of the Hauptmann with time to spare.

Well, it's taken... what, 12 missions? But I finally get to demo what happens when you hit 30 on the overheat table!

I'm reminded that TacOps has an expanded heat scale.

Also, it tops out at an automatic ammo explosion and the only `Mech capable of producing enough heat to see that high up the table is an alpha striking Supernova with 2 engine hits and all of its heat sinks shot away.

There's a canon FrankenMech with Timberwolf, Summoner, Hellbringer and Mad Dog chunks, for instance.

Or a mech that gets shot by a whole bunch of Inferno ammo. Perhaps while standing ankle-deep in lava on the scorched surface of the infamous desert planet "Antihoth".

max infernos + 2 engine hits = 25 if you alpha on something at 10 heat it is possible.

Zenyatta’s smile was a dire one as her—no, she corrected, the ilKhan’s Star—pulled the Thug down like a pack of wolves worrying at a caribou. Its armor flew apart as the combined fire of three Clan Omnimechs tore into the venerable design. As if in spite, a cluster of missiles struck the ilKhan’s Stormcrow drawing from him a muttered curse that he was too incised to mute. The Thug’s PPCs discharged even as its arms came away from its bulky torso, brushing Nasrullah’s battered Kingfisher like the caress of a gentle lover. For an instant, nothing seemed to happen; as though the beams were no more threatening than the Warhammer’s shoulder-mounted floodlight. Then the air around Nasrullah’s `Mech seemed to shiver, and Zenyatta flinched and snapped her eyes closed, a grimace of pain crossing her features at her Gargoyle’s gyro skipped unexpectedly. She made a note to chastise the technical crew that had last worked on the machine, having suffered no hits, the gyro shouldn’t have tumbled— Her eyes opened to a hail of glass showering her `Mech’s transplex windows like razor-sharp hail in a Strana Mechty blizzard. The surrounding buildings—all that she could see—were shedding their windows and a good number of Luthien citizens into the streets below. The ilKhan’s Stormcrow was reeling as if struck by a heavy blow, and nearly-disarmed Kurita Panther had fetched up against the building at its back—staying standing only by virtue of a steel i-beam propped behind it like the rope of a boxing ring. A soundless blur streaked by less than a meter from Zenyatta’s cockpit. The young ristar’s hands shook at her controls as, belatedly, she realized the blur was the Kingfisher’s arm and that she’d been less than a meter from her own end. Of Nasrullah’s `Mech, the only sign were the blackened stumps that may have been his `Mech’s feet and a distinctive double crater in the rubble his `Mech had been standing on. The soft ringing in her ears—the only sound Zenyatta could hear—filled in the rest of the story of Nasrullah’s fate in an instant. The Thug’s spiteful barrage had been his end. She crossed her Gargoyle’s right arm and clanged it—to her, silently—against her Gargoyle’s broad chest in salute to Narullah’s brave and honorable end. Her eyes narrowed as they fell upon the charging enemy Warhammer. These Kurita `Mechwarriors knew how to die well. This may be an interesting fight after all.

Looks like a buy one, get two free sale on ammunition explosions. And yeah, now would be the time to start advancing towards the Coordinator and engaging him in Steiner-rules duelling.

Okay, so Akira Kurita isn't dead, just got a severe concussion. Whoever he is.

A little sad that our Hellbringer friend didn't move his mech very much, a few of those shots would have been misses =(

Kill the Coordinator. Upon further review Akira likely ejected and is now chilling somewhere since his thug lost 3 out of 4 limbs. Let me reiterate. KILL THE loving COORDINATOR. KILL HIM. good job on the kingfisher hitting with all 4 ultras, you won't get that again. Also do not get into melee range on the atlas unless you want to find out why Atlas likes to punch poo poo, personally. AtomikKrab fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Jan 24, 2012 |

I agree, focus on the target of the mission, keep your backsides clear from Yorinaga, keep moving and you can do this.

Those of you who are be-targeting computered, does it make sense to finish legging the Warhammer and then just getting outside its guns? I don't really know how this works on the pen and paper game though. It'd be great if only one of you to worry about Yorinaga and the rest of you could be getting potshots in on the Coordinator. I suppose it's a pretty slow mech and you could just outrun it though? I wouldn't want a 0/0 breathing down my neck either way. Octatonic fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Jan 24, 2012 |

Why did the Thug die? It should only have one engine hit?

Yes, you wear a huge helmet hooked into the mech to pilot it, and ammo cooking off sends a massive pulse of feedback electricity straight into it. Further review. OH GOD THE ATLAS IS GOING TO KILL YOU. Without Keru there neither the stormcrow or hellbie can get close to use their choppers and the gargs are frankly flankers. However not charging = you eating gauss. Also the thug could prop on its arm and fire that srm it still has.

Legging Yorinaga won't actually stop him since he would make the piloting check to hop up on one leg.

Wow, Keru really did die well. The Thug's dying PPC touched off all the ammo in the left torso, which hit both the engine and the pilot, overheating the engine and causing the ammo in the right torso to explode as well, killing Star Captain Nasrullah and your Kingfisher. What a way to go... The mech died twice over due to an engine and a pilot kill, if I'm reading this right... drat, heat isn't anything to play around with... One the upside, you took out the Thug, though with 2 Ultra AC-20s, 2 PPCs, a whole mess of Streak SRMs and a mess of Lasers to boot, it was pretty much inevitable. Good news for me is that Akira Kurita isn't dead, just out of it with a severe concussion. Maybe he'll be showing up in a later fluff update or something. Still, his loss might make Yorinaga fight harder, and he's still a pretty drat big threat. He seems to have moved into a position to try and gently caress the ilKhan up, but I guess you can try and circle behind him to take his back and fill him full of holes or something. He's practically cherry, only taking a shot in the leg, so watch out for him. Apparently, his Null Sig is no good up close, but his loadout still screams dangerous to me, especially how he tore apart the Kingfisher. There's also the Gauss Rifles firing down on you from the wall, as well as the Coordinator and Hideyoshi advancing down the road. A pristine Grand Dragon and Atlas are nothing to laugh at, especially with that Gauss umbrella backing them up. poo poo looks to be getting serious in the next couple of turns.

So by my reading, the Kingfisher would have died regardless of overheating or not, yeah? I mean the second ammo explosion was due to the overheat, but it was basically hosed by TACs and engine crits and such anyway, I believe.

An extra turn of sitting there as a turret shooting mechs is always useful.

It would've survived (barely) another turn if it weren't for the second ammo explosion dealing another 2 engine crits and another 2 pilot hits. Admittedly, Nasrullah would've been rolling an 11+ consciousness test since each ammo explosion is 2 pilot hits. Neural Feedback is a bitch. Also, he probably would've killed himself by falling over.

KnoxZone posted:Why did the Thug die? It should only have one engine hit? I guess losing 3 limbs will do that to a mech. Guess PTN just decided to knock out the Thug's engine in one crit so he would have to keep track of all the rolls it would have to make every turn. It's effectively mission killed, so it won't make much of a difference in the grand scheme of this battle anyway. Still, the thought of Akira Kurita going Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the ilKhan just makes me laugh: "Your arm is off!" "No it's not. Come back here, I'll shoot your leg off!" Too bad PTN has already said he won't be tracking it. It'd definitely be funny.

I'm out of the house at the second, so Madden will have to wait. I will say, though, I'm surprised that the Coordinator is moving up. It seems a little risky...although, there is the shielding movement problem - O1 is going to soak a lot of damage for him, so it's not a bad move, just aggressive.
