 Forum: General Discussion Posted: 13-May-2012 17:58 Subject: Choosing units to start a game |
I generally haven't used BV unless choosing my forces with the aid of a computer (as in Megamek). Otherwise, it's easier just to use tonnage (or existing units, if in a campaign).
As others have m ... |

| It's been a while since I last posted here, but for your lance I'd suggest a Firestarter. Either a modified 3025 version, or the larger omni (although the XL engine may be too vulnerable for your tas ... |

I was going through a pile of old books the other day, and found an old Dragon magazine. Glancing through it I found 2 interesting ads:

Forum: General Discussion Posted: 23-Dec-2008 00:33 Subject: Royal Mechs--What They Should Have Been |
| Good job, a lot of work and thought went into these! Most of them are solid upgrades, and keep the feel of the originals. However, I can't say as I care for altering weapons locations (especially ar ... |

Forum: Design Submissions Posted: 22-Dec-2008 22:53 Subject: Member Review: Cairn-Maker A (+ a thing I call Silent Bear) |
I like the base chassis; sort of an upgraded Linebacker. Unfortunately, the name doesn't seem appropriate to me Maybe something that emphasizes speed? Running Bear?
The Prime configuration remin ... |

Forum: Design Submissions Posted: 16-Dec-2008 19:07 Subject: Member Review: Cairn-Maker A |
| True, but it just bothers me to install a TC for an AC and then not use it. I'd rather just drop the laser and install an Ulta 5, giving sort of a Marauder feel. I also have jammed this gun on the v ... |

Forum: Design Submissions Posted: 07-Dec-2008 02:03 Subject: Member Review: Cairn-Maker A |
| The ATM is a reasonable choice, but I actually first designed the mech before they came out. The LB-2X is a fine gun, but I couldn't use the cluster ammo with the TC. My plink gun is a major investm ... |

| I just have to say that I have an immense amount of respect for the Jenner. It is one of the best of the canon Lvl 1 mechs, but I think a lot of players lost their fear of it from running mechs like ... |

Actually, now that you mention it, I have seen your sig and liked it a lot. Using speedy lights definitely requires a different mindset than using heavy-duty brawlers.
In college we used to run & ... |

Forum: General Discussion Posted: 10-Apr-2008 18:52 Subject: Technical innovations and the range of standard ACs |
Well, I think lasers are good enough as is, but these add-ons could be great for retrofitting older AC carrying mechs. Hopefully we'd start seeing more AC's out in the field.
I think the main reas ... |

| Well, I can't make too much fun of Steiner generals- I drove an Ostscout for them in my first-ever campaign. Considering that the heaviest mech in the whole company was 60 tons, there's at least one ... |

Very true about Steiner generals. I keep expecting them to design a house version of the Thunder Hawk with 3 Heavy Gauss. Or a version of the Annihilator with 4!
It's also true about quads; I fac ... |
