Modular armor comes with a movement penalty. You are better off going with hardened armor, which offers the same protection per ton as standard but lets you mount twice as much armor mass and also provides additional protection against critical hits.

2 Light Gauss + 2 ER-LL makes for a fairly good direct fire support combo, though I'm no sure if you can get 4 walk mp with that amount of weapon tonnage.

If you switch to light AC/5s it would gain back 12 tons, which lets you downgrade to standard structure and upgrade to hardened armor. That would make it a brawler that is only slightly inferior to a King Crab.

While the Clan scum are not actually furries, I will still call them furies in order to be disrespectful to the tub-rats. Also, the furry connection is something that would possible to use for in-universe propaganda, including doctored photos. If fact you could write an entire story about a...

2 RL/20s 2 Medium Lasers 2 Flamers 1 salesman that wants to cash out on his life endurance plan with the lies he is spouting.

In some of his other videos he has mentioned that he has clinical depression.

The production values improve every time the Black Pants legion does a documentary.

Most of the benefit from DHS comes from engine mounted heat sinks. Also, remember you get 1 space free heat sink for every 25 points of engine rating.

I'm kind of reminded of my retrotech homebrew for VLS missile mounts, oxygen torpedoes and Tomahawk cruise missiles. These are the sort of things that someone with knowledge of modern earth miltiary may try to reproduce with B-Tech technology for a niche advantage while still not being truely...

The commander on the cockpit console can also take over the mech if the primary pilot is incapacitated or killed (including cockpit critical hits!) but you loose the initiative bonus if the commander takes control of the mech.

Question: do you think an initiative bonus is worth loosing a Streak-SRM-2? Because as I mentioned before, the Marauder-5d has a cockpit command console variant.

The Warhammer-7m came out in 3047, and includes ER-ppcs, DHS and an AMS for advanced tech. The Warhammer-7s came out just before your cutoff, and includes ER-ppcs, DHS, medium pulse lasers and streak SRM. There is also the Marauder-5D as a 3047 post-helm mech variant: ER-ppcs, one large pulse...

The Catapult and Warhammer are both classic mechs that fit that criteria. If your downgrade the sniper to a thumper, you should have enough room to fit a looted 300XL in a helopolis.

There are multiple reasons that you basic movements for a mech have physical controls. Mech acrobatic require you to be very confident in your neural helmet. This means that it is limited not just to veterans, but veterans that have trained for years on a specific mech and have equally skilled...

Optional Rule: Light Weapon Hardpoints Just like aerospace fighters come with free bomb hard-points, combat vehicles come with free light weapon hard-points. While generally not relevant in fights against mechs, these weapons can be effective deterrents against infantry. The number of light...

Superheavy Industrial Equipment Bucket Wheel Excavator Designed for continuous excavation and strip-mining, bucket wheel excavators are the largest form individual digging tools ever made by mine. Most bucket wheel excavators are mounted on mobile structures, but some can be found on dropships...

Since it goes from cannon to guass as part of an upgrade kit in lore/game-play, I'd say it mounts either an AC/10 or a light gauss (they both have the same mass). Because the targetting computer is based on weapons mass, both variants can use the same targetting computer.

The cannon is advertised as using a special laser guidence system. I'd add TAG and give the gun the accurate weapon design quirk.

Ultraheavy rules revised: Ultraheavy Jump Jets Rather than using plasma generators like standard mechs, ultraheavy mechs use the same type of fusion torch as dropships for jump jets. Construction rules: In order to install Ultraheavy Jump jets, an ultraheavy mech must be equipped with at...

I think a good part of an Autocannon's weight and space is actually its auto-loader. This is why the AC/20 can be split between the arm and torso. With Lighter Autocannon, the autoloader is a minority of the weapon's weight, and with each tier up you go, the autoloader takes up a larger fraction...
