 Posted: 16-May-2021 17:03 Post subject: Mechwarrior Destiny Conversion? |
  |
|
| I tried to make sure I'm not asking something that's already been discussed, but I was wondering: I love that the site allows the easy conversion of a CBT design to Alpha Strike. Is there perhaps any plan to make a Mechwarrior: Destiny conversion in the future? I have a gaming group which would like very much to try the faster version of Mechwarrior/BattleTech and Destiny would be greatly appreciated in this regard.

While I own MechWarrior: Destiny, I've never actually looked at it all that much. Do they actually have a conversion scheme for BattleMechs (and other units) to Destiny? I'm more then happy to take a look and do it if folks would use it.
I still need to create a Destiny character creator (as well as AToW).

| Oh yes, Destiny has a conversion system. It's quite a bit simpler than Alpha Strike in many ways, basically it reduces armor, internal structure, and weapon damage down to 1/3 and heat generation and management to 1/5. Movement is a direct conversion from a table. The biggest problem is that the weapon tables only cover inner sphere weapons from 3025 and Clan weapons from 3050. Star-League era gear can be interpolated, but the published tables aren't present.

Gotcha. I'll have to take a look. It's quite possible there's an algorithm for converting behind the scenes, similar to how there is for AS. Any chance you can put an enhancement request into my tracking system HERE? That will help me remember it as it isn't something I can do immediately. But the more conversions the better in my eyes!
