My one worry is that it does obscure the bottom of some hexes, where the height readout is, if the hex in front is taller, but also it's generally quite obvious from context.

If I remember properly, a little math indicates that at least autocannon ammo floats on water. It is not good to think about math and physics while being near battletech.

It's not extremely bad as a battletaxi for people who have a staging jumpship to operate from. People who have a staging jumpship to operate from will typically have a better use for docking collars and docking bays, however.

Since they were an actual military unit and had more than 4 mechs, it's likely heavier than we'd like.

A Union, the standard company dropship, more or less, carries something like 140 tons of guns, which is more than the mass of your lance. Granted that armament is distributed between sides sponsons and top turrets but it's still a nasty show. There is a roughly zero percent chance that it is in fact an Overlord, you don't need to worry about that.

That's a perfectly regular canon configuration post 3055, 3 Gauss Rifles, 3 ERPPC, 5 ERLL and the 6 LRM20s get Artemis 4 FCS added.

MGs only consume one ammo unit per shot but missile weapons shoot their rating in ammo, a LRM 20 will launch 20 LRMs, this is because you can mix and match all sizes of LRM launchers and they pull from the same ammo pool, while there's only one size of MG ammo launcher (*)(**)(***)(****).

Oh yeah, the math is already done on the mechsheets, one of the most powerful arguments against mix and matching.

If you swing around out of the fields of fire of the dropship's weapons, you can probably take called shots at his legs, it'll probably make his life easier.

He knows we don't actually have that authority. We can pressure him into doing so but our threats have a solid limit where the crew realizes we can't really be trusted and they also fight like cornered rats and or sabotage the dropship and then we lose the intact dropship bonus.

There's still time for some battletech to happen but that's mostly rolled up, the perfect moment to get your engine cored out by an SRM-6. Also: update on previous page.

Let's not do the goon self destructive but funny votes too fast. So I'll say none or just: TheParadigm posted:recruit Gudrun Magos. Magos because she appears to be a relatively salvageable case and having a sim junky to train against is useful. Of course, you could just hire one who didn't take part in some piracy or something.

They have one (1) bigly situational non obvious advantage in that they fire from three levels of elevation and so can bypass some terrain. But mostly it's fun to push around 200 tons of metal, mostly when you also have a spotter and also have sacrificed some crits and mass to carry some artillery so you can't really be range bullied. Now you may think that that's nothing that two Annies can't do better and you'll be entirely right, it's all about sending a message.

The Urbie can do at least one thing passably, and furthermore, it can even do that one single thing pretty well. I can't really imagine a purpose for that thing.

I'd recommend sticking to the regular types of violence before starting the exotic types, the regular types are the regular types because they work fairly well. On the other hand, going to hard for a humbling resulting in overextension and poor rolls leading to a humbling defeat would be thematic and entertaining.

Mostly they are supposed to press really hard against where the blood should be pooling (Yes, it's extremely tight fitting pants that suck to put on.) in order to help it not pool, also the pilot is supposed to clench their lower body like their life depends on it, which it does, because it helps them not pass out. The clenching restricts the opportunity for blood to pool via compressing every free space available. I guess you could also include some sort of sector based variable compression in order to help force venous return. Those suits would absolutely feel like hell but on the other hand they would keep you a little bit more alive than not.

It is, and there is even a building facing it, but a frontal firing arc is still significant in battletech and if the plan is to back off and let the OPFOR move in in detail, it might be a net positive to remove it from the board entirely. Also, it might be a waste of time and heat and ammo.
