Hey PTN! You're a great gamemaster and you don't need advice on how to run your game but since I've had a beer or two I thought of something. One of the objectives sorta requires the players to quit the field when their mechs get too damaged. And I'm feeling people won't want to do that and give up their chance to play. How about awarding anyone running away with a revenant?

PoptartsNinja posted:But as an honest answer, IIRC the Vandal can be in orbit in a turn or two at the absolute most. It's a 14/21. In space it can sustain a 7G acceleration. 30-second turns? Are you sure that 7Gs represents a 7G thrust capability, and not just an ability to sustain 7Gs of (say) lateral acceleration due to extreme banking/turning in atmo? (You said in space, though...) For comparison, the delta vee for a 200km stable circular Earth orbit is 7,784 m/s. To get to that speed from zero, in sixty seconds, requires acceleration of 130 m/s2. 1G is 9.81 m/s, so that's about 13.2 Gs of sustained acceleration. Nevermind the fuel load needed to do that, because we're assuming somehow we're getting sustained 13.2Gs of thrust without using up reaction mass (how does this plane thrust in a vacuum??) because fusion magic whatever, and also never mind the kind of dynamic load you'll get shoving a physical object through atmosphere that hard, and I guess also nevermind the friction involved because a spaceplane had better be able to dive into atmo from orbital velocity anyway. Nevermind all those things, because after sixty seconds you've achieved orbital velocity, but what orbital trajectory? And you don't achieve orbit by launching straight up, you have to accelerate in an arc. I don't have the formula handy but I feel confident in claiming that, for a planet with an Earth-typical atmosphere, after 60 seconds even at 13.2Gs of thrust, you will have achieved an orbital velocity while still being well inside the atmosphere. And that's uh, that's bad. The Vandal weighs 30 Tons, I think we're using metric tons right? I want to figure out how much energy you have to expend to put 30 metric tons into orbit in 60 seconds. I believe the answer is going to be... prodigious. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 23:37 on May 4, 2016 |

Leperflesh posted:30-second turns? 7Gs of constant acceleration in space, but the Vandal's only got three tons of fuel so it's guaranteed to run out in a few turns if it's accelerating hard. Have a quote on Vandal ramming! quote:Well, a Vandal has 240 fuel points, so assuming it spends them all accelerating it can reach a velocity of 240 hexes/turn on its own. That makes the collision occur under slow high speed rules. This gives a collision damage of 30 / 10 * 240 * 1.5 = 1080 damage Space hexes are 18km, but space turns are 60 seconds rather than the 10 second turns on the ground. That means at maximum acceleration that Vandal's hitting 72 kilometers per second (but at that point the pilot has been eating pilot hits for a while due to acceleration and is pretty dead). But no, I haven't worked out how many turns it'd take the Vandal to pass through all five atmospheric layers and then cross the atmospheric interface layer. I know crossing the A/I layer burns a turn and the fighter's guaranteed to need to accelerate for a while to cross it, but the Vandal accelerates very, very quickly. I don't care enough to work out how long it would take since it's completely irrelevent for the mission at hand, but the best answer is "not very long." The Vandal's the fastest canon fighter. It's also one of the few that can (easily) kill its own pilot even if it's operating at 'safe' (for the airframe) thrust. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 00:01 on May 5, 2016 |

I bet it's fun for the pilot to try and fly that fast in something with battle damage. Even if it didn't hit anything direly critical (like control surfaces or engines), trying to fly the thing that fast with chunks of armor off of one wing or bullet holes in the fuselage has to be a trip. A miracle that they don't just go full-Columbia from all that resistance.

Oh you have to track tons of fuel for aerospace fighters? That's... actually far stupider than just pretending the fusion engine produces unlimited amounts of thrust, because now you're strictly limited by the mass of your propellant. In atmosphere you mix your fuel with air, so you can get total reaction mass higher than your fuel load, but you also get to benefit from aerodynamic lift. In vacuum, 100% of your reaction mass comes from your fuel (unless you're converting energy from somewhere into mass, which would be a neat trick), and three tons of fuel for a 30 ton fighter is not very much. We're pretending the thing's engines have a ridiculous specific impulse I guess. Accelerate the reaction mass to just under the speed of light, and you can go a long way with the reaction mass. Yeah, I don't expect you to figure this out, PTN. I'm just enjoying the latest in a very long line of "Because Battletech" techno-stupid explanations. (As an aside: the way to do things that violate physics in your science fiction, is to use words and concepts to explain them that do not reference real-world quantities, principles, laws, etc. So instead of giving actual tons of fuel and saying what the fuel is and claiming you're using rocket engines to go somewhere, you instead say your sci-fi space planes use the Hawking-Byron Gravihypocrublic Principle to accelerate, and then don't explain what that is or how it works in any way. Now the reader can just willingly suspend disbelief in the H-BGP and the space plane can do whatever you feel like having it doing. This is where Battletech constantly gets into trouble, whether it's explaining how Myomer works, or calling their short-range energy weapons Lasers, or using a known and understood fusion reaction to power its robots, or even just telling us how much they mass using metric tons.)

Leperflesh posted:three tons of fuel for a 30 ton fighter is not very much. It's absolutely not very much fuel. Clan fighters are balanced by weak armor and relatively low fuel, and the Vandal has notoriously little fuel even for a Clan light fighter. They exist to either scout the enemy and get picked up by a waiting DropShip on the far side of the engagement zone, or to stick close where they can use their insane maneuverability to shoot down incoming missiles. The Vandal can double its fuel by using drop tanks, and is one of the few OmniFighters that has a variant devoting some of its (laughable) 3 tons of pod space to extra fuel, but the Vandal's still very much a missile with a cockpit. Amusingly, using the same stats as a Vandal (30 ton XL360 w/ 4.5 tons of ferro) gets you a 12/18 with a whopping 0.5 tons left over for weapons.

Air Raid: Tactical Update 4 Lam’ah Jud Malouf flinched as her computer painted a blood red streak passing meters over her `Mech’s right shoulder. She wasn’t familiar with the Lancelot yet, and even though she admired the view granted by the machine’s big, cyclopean cockpit, she still couldn’t help but feel vulnerable. Her view was so unrestricted it almost felt like she was standing unprotected on the Lancelot’s shoulders, and that tipping forward would send her tumbling to the ground. It wasn’t quite as bad as some machines she’d had the opportunity to pilot in the past: her Uncle’s Longbow, for instance, had made her feel less like a Mechwarrior and more than a little like she’d been strapped to the front of the war machine like a child in some sort of baby carrier. Her anxiety was still more than enough to spoil her shot. Her hypersonic glob of rainbow-hot plasma etched spiral patterns in the tarmac just as readily as it would have the infantry squad she’d been aiming at, but the ground wasn’t actively shooting back at her. Yet. “Hell,” the Gibsonite woman cursed, staring into the rear arc of her circlevision display. A touch of a button brought up her rangefinder, and she flinched again almost instinctively. “I forgot how good the Clan long range weapons are in wide open places like this. They just took a shot at me at seven-hundred fifty meters!” “That’s over a hundred meters longer than my—” Chancellor’s comms cut off momentarily as a squad of infantry lurking at the edge of the copse of trees opened fire on her rear armor. Although an individual infantry laser wasn’t even a pinprick to a BattleMech, enough of them in a well-coordinated group could still be dangerous and as well armored as they were no BattleMech was really designed to take hits to the rear. Lam’ah didn’t know if it was a lucky shot, or if one of the Clan troopers was just an amazing shot. All she knew is, the Stag’s arm spasmed and fell limp as one of the capacitors that managed the machine’s myomer bundles discharged its entire load all at once. Myomer contracted wildly and the Stag’s endo-steel frame complained with a resounding shriek as the machine’s own muscles tried to forcibly shorten its own arm by a meter. Something gave, and it wasn’t the myomer. Foamed-titanium bones smashed through the shoulder armor and with a final spasm the arm threw itself free sending Yul Liao scrambling to keep her feet. After a moment of silence Yul completed her original thought, “That’s over four-hundred and fifty meters longer than my maximum range.”   Movement Phase Grasshopper - Insufficient MP to complete movement: needs 6, has 5!

Corponation posted:So, should Champion just stand still and open fire on the urbanmech or the peregrine? Which one would be a better target? I wouldn't stand still unless you are in partial cover- Then at least you're at +2 to hit, and given the ranges involved, are still pretty safe. You could be agressive and head up to 0335, giving yourself a +3 move mod in addition to +1 partial cover and +1 hurricane. You'll be at 13-14 hex range, so medium for the ERLLs/cLPLs that you and the clanners are packing. They'd have something like 4base + 2movement +1 hurricane + 3your movement +2 range + 1 partial cover = 13, impossible for most of their shots. The better pilots with G3 would need 12s, and the lead Goshawk with his pulse laser and tarcomp would need 9.
