Hey, when in doubt, become a Kell Hound. It seems like a good career path.

indeed

So... When do we start? and what other things do we need to set up before we're finished?

I'm sure we're going to need CBT-style mech TROs for each of our mechs. Or something.

I'll make up your mech sheets and post them.then we can start prelimnaries before the match

Alright let's list weapons cause we need this info. We'll be using a sametime system so we don't have to wait for people.

You get 3 weapon attacks
Main weapon
Weapons configuration a
Weapons configuration b

The main weapon can be manually cycled to your other guns, but you can only fire the selcted weapon if you choose to fire this. i recomend your largest weapon being your main weapon.

Config A works like a macro you push the button and all the weapons in the configuration fire.

Config b is an alternate macro I recomend this to be an all out blast.

So... Basically we have Chain Fire, Group 1, and Group 2 for firing solutions, and only one firing solution per shooting phase, right?

Additionally, I assume we've got restrictions on mech lab weapons adjustments, as personally, I don't like my mech's loadout, so it's a question i've got. Since 3050 IS mechs aren't omni however, are we allowed to swap configurations at all?

((I've been so spoilt with clan omnis :( ))

You can buy new weapons and have them put in but that takes time. The weapons groups are of your current weapon loads I have it easy I only have 3 weapons

So mine are

main Medium laser (+cycle)
a Both SRM launchers
b all out fire.

Mmm'kay. Right. Since ER-PPCs cost in the 600,000 range, I'll need to wait before retooling my mech from missle boat to energy/projectile platform. I don't even want to think about buying my choice of mech... Millions aren't easy to come by.

Anyway, for my weapons groups, Assuming chaosmarch's CRD-4K Crusader TRO is correct in the lasers being *pulse* lasers...

Main: LRM-15 (Cycle with other LRM-15)
Group 1: 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, 2 SSRM-2 Launchers
Group 2: Alpha Strike (All weapons)

(Down: I'm not sure I like Tbolts, but I might go for it.)

I also said you can switch lrm for Thuderbolts for free.

Weapon loadout:

Main: 2 ER Large Laser (+cycle through weapons)
Group 1: 2 ER Large Laser, 2 Pulse Med Lasers
Group 2: All weapons

(other weapons on 'Mech are Machine Gun & Anti-Missle System)
