*Warning SD in one of his captious moods again*
Don't let yourself be discouraged from posting here by my gibbering, I can be quite annoying, but I tend to comment mech designs this way often.
Not much changed here. There are no weapons turned backward (one of the things that I never understood on QKD), so there is some improvement  and weapons are just replaced with more modern types available in 3060 (except TC and Light engine that were available somewhat later). Light engine made more room for weapons and some armor but it increases cost (and makes the mech a little more fragile).

*Raven drags the post back on topic* Anywho, I just thought I would point out my one concern, that the Quickdraw has to get in close to be effective, and at 60 tons, just can't carry enough to duke it out. I determined a while back that you can make almost any 60 ton design more efficiently at 55 tons. Could you try dropping it to 55 and seeing what you could do? Cause a medium playing the role of the Quickdraw makes more sense then a heavy.
Raven - who rode around in a 55 Dragon for a while!

Maybe.
Let me kick it around for a while and get back to you.
I dunno...
I would agree that there are certain tonnages that just don't seem to work very well... 40 and 60 come to mind immediately.
I'll get back to you...
I'm still trying to create FLUFF to go with my designs...

their is a way to cheat though. if you have a design that is mostly a 'see what could be done' design, you can post the design under a topic like concept design or something similar. these designs rairly require fluffing because their spit ball designs. in addition, a responce to a design competition can also go without fluff [but noy always.]

You do not have to write a novel for your fluff. Most of my fluff is short and concise. While a detailed history might be nice a short press release style blurb can work too. just look at the one I have done for my designs.
