Hoplite Grandpa once again at least partially responsible for an assault mech losing its head. propatriamori posted:Even if the Hoplite also shoots at the Catapult, focusing it down seems important now that it can cover the entry ramp hex. Sure, let's go with focused fire. Orders in, focusing down the Catapult.

It's going to be pretty cool to salvage the Stalker I think. I feel that there's some neat tech stuff to be found here For fun I tried building the Stalker in Megamek Lab and to get everything to fit as listed on the weapons, armor, and heat dissipation you have to use some Clantech, unless I'm missing something obvious

The closest I can tell is that it's a SLDF Royal variant, but those gave up their SRM-6s for DHS and an ECM suite according to sarna.

What started this up was the armor distribution lines up with 13.5 tons of IS ferrofibrous armor, plus it's rocking double heat sinks but with the weapons load and 16 IS DHS it can't fit the FF armor, but if you start to do some stuff like drop in Clan DHS or FF then it fits

speaking of the Stalker, the most recent update revealed the pilot has (had? yeah, I think Fire Support is dead) the Hothead SPA. I wonder what that is? EDIT: I've also just realized that it's dead in the same hex it started in. yesssssssssssssssssss propatriamori fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Feb 8, 2024 |

Showdown at High Noon 4-9 One of the SnowCats vanished in a fireball that left Prodigal wincing. The locals knew this was risky, but she’d still assured them she’d do her best to keep them all safe. They were likely all pirates, but that didn’t make losing any of them easier. She leveled a withering-level of firepower against the enemy Catapult, but the Stalker-Lite kept its feet. Despite the heat spiking in the BattleMaster’s cockpit, Syntyche pressed it forward. She missed her Mongoose. It would’ve had the speed to close the distance, even if—even she had to admit—she’d have been vulnerable once she’d done so. “drat, drat—Obligation Lance, defend those transports. Body-block the fakes if you have to.” She growled, fighting the controls as if extra force on her part would eke some extra speed out of her ponderous assault ‘Mech. “… C’mon, you overweight Shadow Hawk.

Akratic Method posted:So what does life support damage do, game-wise? Is that mech on a turn countdown until the pilot has to eject or die? Sarna suggests that for environments incompatible with life it will kill the pilot outright (space, underwater, Venus, etc) otherwise it has a chance for pilot damage if the mech gains heat. I would say that while not inimical to life immediately, the cold might be worth a pilot hit, or a time limit (but likely one expiring well after the mission does) ilmucche posted:Is this a water cannon ??

Akratic Method posted:So what does life support damage do, game-wise? Is that mech on a turn countdown until the pilot has to eject or die? In a normal game, the pilot would start taking damage at +19 overheat or higher on the heat scale. A second Life Support hit would cause pilot damage at any amount of overheat.

Battlemaster I desperately want to charge the Catapult. I'm pretty sure I have the MP to do so, though my pre-emptive turn toward 1212 cost me a little. It won't save the infantry, but it will make me feel a little better about them all getting killed. I think it'd be 26 damage (85 tons / 10 * 3 intervening hexes = 25.5) in five point clusters which is...comparable to what I'd get shooting at it with the lasers. It isn't much of a fall, either, but still. it's Battletech. Shoving your enemy down next to their lance leader just seems intrinsically satisfying, even if it might not be a kill. Honestly if I insist on charging it might be more practical to hit the light LAM (Stinger LAM? More sensibly, even just walking to 1111 means I can put a LOT of firepower into the Catapult or the LAM or the Dragon. I don't think there's anything that'll stop them murdering the rest of the infantry though  It could conceivably matter for the Thunderbolt's positioning/target choices, so: the Catapult's rear armor is untouched. Getting into the rear arc would actually be worse at this point for hitting everything but the left torso (and the left torso would absorb a lot of damage either way). You probably already know that, but I made a living as an engineer and so have learned to say the obvious things. Volmarias posted:Goons, I would like to suggest an extremely audacious aimed shot...

A kick from a level up happens on the punch table and is both easier, won't stop your guns, and will be more likely to do crippling damage. EDIT: also the trend of players disabling enemies by just loving killing them every single time may eventually be a cool story hook. It's been a funny kind of drawback for the mystery aspect but "anyone who doesn't surrender now will not survive to surrender later" is hard.

Damnit, why haven't I killed either of them yet? Ostsol I'm thinking I'm going to hit that Unknown Heavy (Dragon, whatever) from the left. And then chase after the LAM in the next turn. Sorry, best I can do. There's only so much murder available to me in a single turn.

Battlemaster I'm going to guess that the Thud will go after the Catapult to make two units engaging it. Three might be overkill, so I'll go after the LAM instead, which I figure is on a +3 move mod (6 hexes and a jump) but I'll be right next to it in 1111 so that'll mitigate things some (shooting on 7s for the MLAS, 5 for the LPLAS, and 9 for the PPC?). I'll probably whiff the PPC, but I can fire everything but the ER PPC and still be heat negative so I'll do that. It's strictly less fun than charging the Catapult but oh well. Hopefully we can get some of these pulse lasers off the board. Orders in. I might amend them if we don't have two units engaging the Catapult but last time I amended I made a rookie mistake.

Hoplite I'm probably tagging the Catapult, yes. However, PoptartsNinja posted:
Was there a consciousness check made for these pilot hits? That could change a lot. Catapult and Light LAM 1's record sheets are showing the missing head armor but not the pilot hits. (The catapult had one marked the previous round but not the extra from this one.)

Showdown at High Noon 4-10 A hail of submachine gun fire clattered off the Falconer’s shoulder. With her ‘Mech in the way, most of the harassing fire the Järnprins’s marines couldn’t reach the SLDF troops massing in the engine bay. She fired off another burst from her rear-mounted machine guns, hoping to keep the massing marines suppressed for just a little longer and grimaced as the counter dropped to near empty. It wouldn’t be long before they realized her ‘Mech had no way to stop them if they decided to swarm her—she was honestly surprised it hadn’t happened yet. Only the threat of her medium laser and the potential damage her Falcon could do to the ship’s engines was keeping the marines at bay. As if on cue, a pair of the locals snow tractors rattled up one of the Järnprins’s boarding ramps. Little more than heavily-armored tractors, they grumbled to a stop amidst a cloud of alcohol-fueled smoke, and under-equipped men in parkas with a motley collection of shotguns and hunting rifles piled out. She half expected to see them toting six packs of whatever the locals passed for beer. She was almost surprised not to see any until she remembered that frigid lacked a cannery, and the locals were as likely to be carrying hard liquor in their canteens as they were to be carrying water. “Right—form up and move out!” Lt. Cordozo shouted for the benefit of the locals. “Marines up front—shield the locals with your boarding suits. Locals, follow close behind and pick off whatever you can. Move out!” En masse, the collected infantry stormed up the boarding ramp and into a hail of fire from the mixed weaponry of the Järnprins’s marines. They mostly carried light weaponry—combat shotguns and submachine guns—enough to suppress rioters, but nothing heavy enough to cause significant damage to the Union-class DropShip’s internals. That was well enough against unarmored targets, but the marines from the Dimetrodon were sporting heavy hostile environment suits. Only the luckiest or closest-range shots were likely to penetrate. They probably could’ve taken the ship without the extra numbers—but the casualties would’ve been high. With the locals backing them, incoming fire from the Järnprins’s mostly-empty ‘Mechbay died down almost immediately. It wouldn’t take them long to break into fireteams and secure the rest of the ship—especially if the crew and officers were smart enough to surrender. They’d have to be on high alert after for saboteurs, but with her Falcon covering the engine anything they accomplished could likely be repaired.

Heyo, let's roll up that last ground pounder, probably the LAMs will screw off then.

oh my god. I didn't think those Snow Cats were going to make it. Holy crap. Also I missed soooooo many 7s  I think I'm going to turn and continue shooting at the Stinger? LAM. Our folks close enough should probably try to help the Rifleman with the Medium (Phoenix Hawk?) LAM and Locust LAM, though I think it was hilariously cute that the little guy kicked. I guess the PSR was potentially dangerous.
