So, I designed and submitted my first 'Mech for the site:
www.mordel.net/barandgrill.php?redirect=viewtopic&t=18549
... but it needs a little context. Years ago, before I let life pull me away from Battletech for a while, I was fairly active on Sarna.net (username widowmaker). This was before the wiki conversion when Bob and Karagin were having their... discussions (iykyk). Someone posted a challenge for the most useless 'Mech we could devise; this was my reply.
You are of course free to ridicule it mercilessly (lord knows it deserves it!), but I challenge this community to be inspired by it, admire it, and devise even more usel... *AHEM* I mean, awe-inspiring designs! Show me what you've got!

| That's fascinating. My 'Mech has a higher BV than the 'Mech you linked, but a lower PV (I'm assuming that's for Alpha Strike?). Given the over-abundance of death-by-ammo-explosion opportunities on my 'Mech, I'm surprised both aren't negative...

Ammo affects the defensive BV negatively, but hits a floor of 1. Found this out when I tried to get an even lower BV by putting ammo in more locations like yours.
Didnt check the PV. Might have to look into it. Personal bet is the brawler modifier is triggering on yours because its still technically mobile.

It's definitely because you're getting the Brawler because you're mech can still move. That hardened armor on a unit with 1 walk is a killer in AS since it means you effectively move 0".
