 Posted: 14-Jul-2007 21:33 Post subject: Zeus Upgrades This Time |
  |
|
This time, we have 3 different workups for that most stalwart of Commonwealth 'mechs, the Zeus.
First, we have a relatively simple version. The LRM hasn't recieved any more ammo, but it will use what it does have to better effect, thanks to the new Artemis IV. The old AC/5 has been replaced with a (possibly League-era?) KWI Ultra autocannon, extending the reach slightly and giving the pilot the option of better long-range firepower. The rest of the upgrades (ECM, AMS, AI weapon, better armor) are pretty much par for the upgrade course by now.

An expanded ammo load for the LRM, coupled with the aforementioned Artemis, the infinite-ammo, almost-as-long-ranged ERPPC, and the inclusion of TAG help this version feel like a commander's 'mech to me.

This version I'm not so happy with (something about it doesn't feel "right"), but decided to share anyways. It trades the more general upgrades (AMS, ECM) for more reliable ranged punch in the form of an LBX-10.

The -7 has some serious ammo problems. The LRM has 8 shots like the original Zeus but now the AC can go through that ammo real fast too!
The pilot can fire single shot only but that wouldn't explore the weapons possibility to do more damage.
The -7A is really dangerous but a bit much electronics for my taste.
The -7S i like best! It has still an AC like the original but with a harder punch and the ability to choose between cluster and slug ammo!
