Last few scenarios have been pretty slow due to players not getting their loving turns in, used to be an update a day most weeks. Now it's like 1-2 a week at best.

That's only true for the first few turns of the first few scenarios. As soon as there was more coordination and planning neccessary, we got two, three or more days between turns. Go and check for yourself. Whining about not getting updates more often, has become much more frequent, however.

But here, in this scenario, there isn't really much coordination between the players required, so I don't really see why some players cannot submit their turns just a little bit quicker.

Most of them are pretty quick; but it's also compounded by me never receiving the final player's orders on a day I can update (like today; I work until 10:00 PM and go back in tomorrow for 5:00 AM. Sucks).

If I'd had the orders I could've done the update this morning; but I'm going to be too tired to write tomorrow.

VVV I'm still waiting on orders, there's nothing I can do.

“I tell you, Cal, I’ve got to hand it to Ken Hachiman this match. He’s been in trouble since the word ‘go’ and he’s really dishing out a punishment. Colonel Alvarez’s pride has got to be stinging with that cockpit hit. Here’s hoping she’s not too badly injured to continue.”

“You know how it is, Fisher,” Cal growled. “Except in rare exhibition matches, if a pilot is rendered unconscious he’s out, and—”

“—Ken’s accuracy has certainly been a frightening thing tonight. Two opponents and two head hits; I think the other pilots on the field have to be rooting for his early removal. I just don’t see how he’s going to fight his way out of this, but if any `Mech can do it it’s the Kokuryuu. The Catapult’s a tough `Mech to crack, and the boys at Hollis Incorporated really know their stuff. They may not build much else; but since Hollis and Yori `Mech Works are on the same side that means the Catapult is now a `Mech the Draconis Suns can be proud to call their own: and speaking of `Mechs to call your own, Defiance Industries may produce the best and Quikscell may produce things cheap, but Earthwerks Incorporated builds `Mechs you’ll actually use: from the humble trainer the Stinger to the powerhouse Thunderbolt. Earthwerks, we’re everything you’ll ever need.”

`Mech Design Contest 2

The Draconis Suns need a flagship `Mech for the Ryuken, something to give the best of the best of their pilots (or perhaps a miserable failure to fob off on them). Meanwhile, the Capellans aren’t about to let themselves be outdone! They need a new `Mech to deter the fledgling Duchy of New Syrtis (or possibly to crush them under boot). This time, I’m looking for three `Mechs, two for the Draconis Suns, one for the Capellan Confederation.

Rules:
Participants are allowed ONE entry per faction (so one for the DraSuns and one for the CapCon).

`Mechs can be of any weight or class
`Mechs may mount any armament. In addition to standard Level 1 equipment, `Mechs may also field new experimental weaponry being developed by their respective nation:

`Mechs of the Draconis Suns may field:
A) Experimental Heavy PPCs (‘jams’ on doubles, same size/tonnage as the regular Heavy PPC)
B) Hyper-Velocity Autocannon/10 (As standard, except it jams on a 2 rather than exploding)
C) HVAC Acid Rounds (deal increased damage to Ferro-Fiberous Armor, reduced damage to internal structure and standard armor)*
D) HVAC Guided Rounds (may be fired indirectly, deal area damage but hit `Mechs in 5-damage clusters)*
*HVAC Specialized Ammo requires specialized ammunition storage bays, and a `Mech must be designed to carry it specifically.

`Mechs of the Capellan Confederation may field:
A) Improved Heatsinks: 1 ton, 2 slots, dissipates 1.5 heat per sink (rounded down)
B) Medium Range Missile 10/20/30/40s
C) Improved Listen-Kill missiles, advanced sonar renders advances in `Mech soundproofing a moot point (-1 to hit, range reduced to 2/6/12/18). Require specialized LRM-racks and so `Mechs must be designed with them in mind. May also be mounted in specialized MRMs (-1 to hit, range reduced to 0/3/8/12).
D) NARC Missile Beacon



Two of the winners will be chosen by the thread when the Solaris VII fight ends, in lieu of our standard MVP vote. The final winner will be chosen by me. Please PM `Mech files to me, or e-mail at removed, sorry. I don't leave these up forever.. This E-Mail link will be taken down in approximately 48 hours.

EDIT: I've got PMs and am certainly willing to sketch out the 'Mechs of my rivals if it means I can sketch out my own with a free conscience. Not just Knox's. If I think they're interesting and based on a 'Mech I think I could do justice, anyway.


I'm sorry Malachite_Dragon I'm just in the mood for 'Mechs as opposed to art of other things. Unless you're fine with a Hatchetman. ... It's been several seasons hasn't it? My god...

You can draw my mech designs for me! I already have one done and ideas for the second. If I don't do them now ME3 will make me forget and I will cry.


VVV I thought about it for a bit, but in this case the journey is funner than the prize. Designing mechs is a form of art. I am happy with my HatChi being used, but that isn't going to stop me from doing silly things with this contest.

Sent a couple mechs. The Capellan challenge was fun. Can't wait to read the other entries, the last competition was great.

That Catapult is doing great. Two head-capped mechs would be cool to see, especially by the same pilot. Boyo is positioning himself tactically well to win the whole contest. And we still have a bet riding on this...

T.G. Xarbala, I sent you a little "something something" to check and perhaps draw if you find the concept interesting.

I do have to wonder exactly how much damage HVAC/10 Acid rounds would deal to FF. I would suppose they'd do 1.5x damage, since that's how Acid SRMs work. Considering that a lot of Clan mediums, lights, and even low-Heavies use FF armor as a weight-saver, this would make it something of a poor-man's Gauss as far as Clanbuster weapons go.

For an AC/10, I'm guessing it deals 6 damage to standards and internals, 15 to Ferro-Fibrous Armor. Bonus damage does not carry over to internals if armor is scoured.

And Guided rounds, do they require TAG or are these truly smart mini-Tom munitions? These are obviously the anti-BA option.


EDIT: I also do like the idea of iLK LRMs being a shorter-ranged substitute for NLRMs.

C) Improved Listen-Kill missiles
May also be mounted in specialized MRMs (-1 to hit, range reduced to 0/3/8/12).

Is a Listen-Kill MRM -1 to hit overall, or -1 to hit compared to regular MRMs, i.e. +0 to hit?

I assume +0. -1 would be ridiculous.

Question: does this mean the free 10 heat sinks built into the engine produce 15 cooling total? And, if so, how many additional crit slots must be allocated?

Engine size remains standard because I don't want to gently caress with it. NARC does not work with the iLK missiles, since they require NARC-capable ammo to function.

I am the culmination of all that is wrong with japan.
With the HVACs, when you say "as the standard" you mean it has the same tonnage and critical as the canon HVAC or as the "standard" AC?

I want to send in some entries to the contest but I'm not sure I should, though, because I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to resist drawing the 'Mechs to sway public opinion.
I don't see any downside here, to be honest... :allears:
