Same as an Clan ARROW IV, 4.5 km.

Walk speed is engine rating / mass. Jump and safe thrust is equal to the number of jump jets. Airmech cruise speed is 3x jump speed. Roc: Mech Mode 5/8 walk/run, Fighter Mode 8/12 Safe/Max Thrust, Airmech Mode 24/36 Cruise/Flank Sphinx: Mech Mode 6/9 walk/run, Fighter Mode 6/9 Safe/Max Thrust...

Wow, you've reading my mind. The rules aren't quite the same as what I have plans for. Instead all capital scale clustered weapons only take a +1 or +2 penalty to hitting units under 500 tons, and instead get a -3 to clustered hit rolls against units under 500 tons and a +3 bonus to clustered...

The Taurain Defense Force at the dawn of the 29th century was mcuh different than the one that existed during the Age of War. The growth of the Concordat in both planets and prosperity has allowed the Taurians to field far greater numbers of fighters than before and the proliferation of assault...

No, you will understand why a soon as I get to the Kuriota section for this time-frame. I'm going to do a sidebar on Taurian Aerospace doctrine and rank structures first before moving on to the other great houses. I also have to add the Taurain BA doctrine segment in betwen those, and then it is...

When Judith Cameron took over the Terran Hegmeony, she valued Kerinsky for his advice, but did not depend on him. For example she allowed the Taurains to take their pick of Terran Hegemony factories as a form of unofficial war reparations despite General Kerinsky's protests. Judith Cameron...

You are forgetting ammo.

When the Federated Suns got their hands on the prototype compact missile launchers created by the Terran Hegemony, they quickly discovered why the weapons were still prototypes and not production weapons. Both missile launchers had significant problems with their ammunition feed systems, leading...

Massively nerfed. You have to allocate mass and space for the pod system, per location that can mount omnipods. There are also greater limits to what kind of equipment can be mounted in a pod based on what type of pod mounting equipment is used (Industrial, projectile, energy, or all the above...

It didn't get any range improvements. Instead it is made effective against swarm missiles and very deadly to infantry.

The Taurians were not greed about stealing technology from the Hegemony. They were primarily interested in Terran Hegemony manufacturing technology in order to give a boost to many of their own projects that have been languishing in the prototype phase. That is not to say that there weren't...

No. Not at all. They weren't able to get their hands on enhanced Er-PPC prototypes only the snub nosed PPC prototypes, but that just gives them more motivation to create their own tech. Beyond that is spoilers.

That got butterflied away by the DART missile. They are now missile crazy.

Oh yes, and its driving the Taurians nuts when it comes to mech combat. As I've already hinted, the Taruans get Er-pulse lasers and that makes them very happy on the energy weapon front. But the Federated Suns and Terran Hegemony both have their own worrying ideas of with can be done with...

They exist as long as they are useful as deniable assets, some have even received letters of marque from stronger nations so they don't get killed when captured. This is part of the reason that the Taurain Concordat was leery of doing any critical trade with the Out Worlds Alliance, the...

Same concept, different origin story.

As a result of the Ameris Civil War, the Rim Worlds Republic was the only periphery state to remain part of the star league. The Rim Worlds Republic was saddled with extreme war debts, and it was the good fortune of the Terran Hegemony that Aleksandr Kerensky decided to keep that industry...
