Axeman!? Ugh. A melee mech? Can I appeal that? Personally, I'd rather pilot a medium than have to deal with that little rustbucket. No offense, but I kinda hate the Axeman.
Anyway, right. ((Why do they even make those? I mean, c'mon, if you kill someone at point blank, the reactor breach would destroy your own mech.)) |
want a mulligan ok, i'm game CRD-4K Crusader
|
Thank you. Very much.
And while I'm not complaining, I might point out that the Crusader variant you assigned me isn't Lyran. It's Draconis Combine. |
What do those do?

Expenses and other equipment (you can use your assets or equipment for this if you want. )
You have $500 which is your starting bank account unless you took wealth. I'm going to assume you all have a 2 bedroom apartment and any clothes you want. Military field rations (7 included in a field kit) $2 restraunt meal Fast food$2.5 Sit down restraunt $4 Gourmet $10-100 Housing 3-bedroom house $90,000 2-Bedrooom apartment $200/month Hotel room $10-200 a night Flophouse $7/ night Mercenary bivouac $60/ week Tri-vid Set $220 Electronic compass $30 Verigraph Uniforms Jumpsuit $24 Camo fatigues $30 Dress Uniform $45 Clothing/footwear pants $17 Shirts $10 Skirts $22 Hats $12 Socks $1 Undergarments $2 Rain gear $20 Athletic shoes $26 Work boots $35 Hiking boots $46 Knee high boots $50 Fashionable high heels $300 Wellingtons $38 Parachute $78 Underwater operations gear $125 Climbing gear $75 Transportation Dropship $800-4,500 Jumpship $2,200-4,000 |
Question, if the Solaris VII entry fee is 5,000 c-bills, and the non-wealthy only have 500, how are they going to enter to compete?
Just a little Q. Unless there is a third money-pool for mech-based stuff. Which is what I'm wanting to look at. Additional: Assuming my wealth 1 (10,000) is this in addition to the 500? (10,500), or simply 10k? Secondly, you assume we have clothes and an apartment, are these "Free" so to speak, or do you expect we pay for them? EDIT: Fourthly, how do we calculate our per-cycle upkeep expenses? Those assault mechs don't maintenance themselves. |
I'll give you the repair costs after the matches in an itemized bill, you can opt not to pay something, or go into dept to a bank. My charachter took out a $1,000,000 Loan against the value of his mech to start up his stable and will be paying your entrance fee for the match. unless you want to take out a loan and pay it for yourself.
|
Right, well that works. Thanks for clarifying. ;)
|
I've put the character sheet in the appropriate format. I'll buy equipment later, but right now, I've got questions as to forming Tillie's history...
I'm terribly ignorant of the way Houses do things, particularly House Kurita. Is it possible that a House Kurita soldier could go to the arena with a ComStar-supplied BattleMech and not have it be a bad thing AND make sense? If Tillie's name needs to be changed just to make it work, I don't mind at all. |
Well, AB... ComStar is more of a religious-fanatical communications monopoly. Sure, they've got the comguards, with lostech mechs and C3 computers, but they'd never lend them to anyone.
Even during the clan invasions, nobody knew the comguards had what they did until they won the day on Tukkayid, ending the invasion. They're a neutral party mostly. Granted, they pissed off a lot of the major houses by doing this, but being the sole corporation with knowlege of how HPGs work, to mess with ComStar is to be cut off from the rest of the galaxy. So, I doubt you'd manage it (Unless I'm missing something, SC probably knows more Inner-Sphere fluff than I do. I'm a clanner myself.). Surely house Kurita would have their own mechs? A Victor is generally a House Davion mech, so perhaps you got it as salvage in an engagement with them? |
There we go. Now all I need to do is hit the shoppy shop for stuffy stuff.
|
JAD, can I take a loan out to add to my wealth and shiat?
|
|
Ahhh, Crawly/Crowley, where would we be without you?
|
Equipment:
A/F Body Suit ($800) Large Caliber Pistol ($200) 50x .45 Ammo ($250) Vibroblade ($100) LR Personal Communicator ($200) Respirator ($50) Deluxe Field Kit ($100) |
it's what they say. One is for repairing battlemechs and has the necessary equipment and tools to do all mech repairs, replacement parts aren't in it.
|
*nods in an understanding fashion*
okay...so here's my other question. In theory, the stable would repair our mechs after each competition. So in theory, one would only need a repair kit if we were going to be acting outside that. Basically it comes down to necessity, I guess. Ah, heck with it I'll get one anyway. |
The stable will supply you with the best deals and techs they can find, but since you own your mech you will be paying for repairs.
|
Well, nice to know that's been cleared up.
Kinda reminds me of the structure they used in Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries for the Solaris arenas. If your mech got shot up, you'd have to pay repairs. Makes sense though. |
If we do well we can earn a fat endorsement deal
|
Well, that's always good.
I've decided to leave out the repair kit...for now. |

Disgruntled with the way things were in his life, he quietly deserted the House forces with his 'mech and made his way to Solaris, where his Atlas Reaper Man was repainted and renamed Lucifer. Sigil likes his life as a gladiator. Not a lot of people can really hurt him, the pay's good, and he met a really nice girl recently in the circuit. However, a series of bad decisions left him in debt to a very nasty loanshark calling himself Jad Guy. He's joining the current tournament so he can pay it off, and also because he noiced Karen taking part as well. (Hurray for crappy stories. I'm soooo burned out today) |
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) |
http://www.sarna.net/btech/bt-board-tables-bmr.shtml
Tables http://www.classicbattletech.com/PDF.html blank record sheet |
Would replacing my LRM racks with Thunderbolt LRMS prevent me from using the LRM variant missles?
Example, Cluster LRMs for infantry and Thunder LRMs for minelaying. I'm not even sure these are supported in CBT, but I know Inferno SRMs are, which may or may not require a specific launcher. Anyway, if we're using standard missles only, I'll go for Tbolts. However, important, do Tbolts lock on like LRMs do? Don't know what effect that has, but it's probably a -X to the gunnery roll. Anyway, you're the CBT whiz Squishy, how about you give the advantages/disadvantages for me and the rest of us to peruse? |
Time to catch up...
Equipment Ablative/Flack Jacket $300 Heavy submachine gun $100 Semi automatic pistol $50 Deluxe field kit $100 Long Range Personal Communicator $200 Grenade Launcher $100 Grenade Launcher Ammo x2 $100 Pistol Ammo x5 $10 Submachinegun ammo x4 $40 Mech Loadout Main: LRM-15 (Cycle with other LRM-15) A: Machine Gun x2, Large Laser B: Medium Laser x3, SRM-2 Why do I get the feeling my mech's going to be overheating more than anyone else's. Even without an Alpha Strike. |
LRM lots of missiles, but not all hit, and longer range, also you can multiple missile locks (declare 5 missiles per target.)
Thunderbolt only one missile to shoot down, but does full damage |
I'll stick with regular LRMs then. I love the swarm feeling you get when you unload two LRM-20's from a Timber Wolf on some unsuspecting guy from half a map away.
Of course, I've got a Crusader, but it's close. :p |
|
Main: 4 ER Medium Lasers + AC/20 (Can I upgrade this to an Ultra, pwease?)
Group 1: 4 ER Medium Lasers + Streak SRM 6 + 2x Streak SRM 2 + Thunderbolt LRM 20 Group 2: Alpha Strike (everything dies) |
Errgggh...the subscription system is again being rather mean to me.
Main: 2x ER PPC (+cycle through weapons) 1st Group: 2x Medium Laser and 1x Machine Gun 2nd Group: Alpha Strike (and I'm only doing this 'cause the WHM-7M has double Heat Sinks) |
It should activate automatically, IMO.
Otherwise you might as well mount 16 MGs and manually target every incoming missile. |
My point exactly. Official canon states that the AMS can be activated and deactivated at will, but it's not part of any weapon group, and it automatically will track and eliminate incoming missiles.
|
Main: LRM 15 x 2
Group A: Pulse Medium Laser x 4, Streak SRM 2 x 2 Group B: Narc This mech just isn't build for alpha strikes. ^^; |
Quote:
A little consolation eh? Certainly better than the Video game. Hehe, looking at Dante's atlas again, It proves that he has more and bigger guns than us. ;) PS: AMSes are automatic, yes... |
but it is possible to overide and to weaponize.

Head shot is easier.
|
I thought hit-locations were random? If not, what's the called-shot penalty for aiming for a specific location?
((I know headshots are hella hard, even with 6 gunnery.)) |
depends on the other penalties too
But with a clan targeting computer it's a +3 to call a shot +6 to call head. so without that it's double +6 to call body. +12 to call head You can reduce this by standing still and actually aiming, but you'de need about 12 turns to cancel the penalty. |
Yes... The Clan Tesla 2 TC's are really good, and a high gunnery pilot can nail good shots with them, at least in the fiction. Anyway, since the roll is only 2d6+modifiers, a +12 mod might very easily make you auto-miss without some serious bonuses.
Garud: Why don't you set your Narc to chain fire? I mean, seriously, then you could have both LRM racks in a group, or cycle them as needed, and the Narc wouldn't take up a groupfire slot. Besides, once you narc them, you're going to want to launch all your missles since they'll auto-lock on the Narc beacon. ((Friendly missles autolock onto friendly narc beacons unless they already have a lock, correct? So if Ecurt narcs someone, any dumbfire LRMs I launch will vector to attack the narc beacon, right?)) |
except 12s are auto success
