I think it's probably just the entertainment value of jumping behind someone with one in dense terrain. A friend of mine uses one in his Lyran Guard and they regularly stomp... pretty much anything.

All orders are in (and have been since the 26th, which should tell you how preoccupied I've been with my move). Update should be tomorrow, since it's a bit late now (I just got home from work).

End Phase: M1 Shadow Hawk - Must pass a 3+ consciousness test! Rolled 9, succeeds! - Must pass a piloting test to avoid a fall (5 base + 0 kicked = 5): rolled 6, succeeds! The Cicada and Bobcats’ PPC fire crossed the space between them in an instant, arcs of electricity jumping from one to the other as the seconds-long particle streams tore air molecules apart before turning themselves with ravenous hunger on ceramet armor and skeleton beneath. Side by side, the differences between the two beams was obvious—the Cicada’s tightly-focused particle stream sliced through the Bobcat’s armor plating like a battleaxe, cleaving softened metal from abused structural supports. The Bobcat’s return fire was unfocused and dissipated rapidly, yet the hail of nearly-random particles chewed at the Cicada’s right leg like an army of rats worrying a dying horse. Armor exploded from the Cicada in puffs of molten gas as the next particle hit somewhere else rather than losing effectiveness by first having to chew through the expanding cloud of metal vapor. A sickly black smoke rose from the Bobcat’s ruined torso as several jump jets cracked or exploded in the heat. From the Cicada, the sharp ‘twang’ of snapping myomer tore chunks of structural steel from the `Mech’s ferrotitanium bones. The Cicada sagged, then caught as the DI computer locked the leg’s joints as sensors in the hip burnt out as molten armor flooded through the actuator. The Cicada staggered and nearly fell as the DI computer struggled to compensate for the overstressed right leg. The Bobcat’s great foot smashed into Lieutenant Chiatzi’s cockpit like a sledgehammer, tearing away the transplex. The impact threw him against his restraints with enough force to snap his right clavicle, and for a brief instant he blacked out from the pain.

Artificer posted:This boss fight is going south, man. I wouldn't say exactly that. The Bobcat is one SRM away from being mission killed (if it has an XL engine). Even if it only has a Light Fusion Engine, that still means 2 engine hits in addition to the loss of the Retractable Blade and an ERML (if the Snubbie is indeed on the left arm). Let's also not forget the fact it can only jump 3 hexes now. I will say though, that it certainly has done quite the amount of damage to goonlance.

Knocking out those jumpjets will almost certainly spell victory for the players. That mobility was all that was keeping the ace alive. A single SNPPC won't be nearly enough to deal with the forces arrayed against it.

Yeah, we're bleeding bad, but so is he. We've got a good chance to get a hit on his right torso and his big hop-around mobility strategy just went away, so that'll only help us hit him. That said, I really hope there's no more surprise twists because there's no way we'd survive anything else at all.

My one legged suicide Locust can take on anything! (Oh god, please let this be the end of it.) Anyway, yeah unless we're extremely unlucky/stupid, always a possibility, we should have this done in a turn or two at most. edit: I have to say I really liked this setup. I think the highly mobile forces made things much less static, going over the previous turns it has struck me that we've made a whole circut around the entire map.

How much does losing 3 jump jets hurt? Is it worse in any way that the Bobcat lost them all on one "side", making the mech unbalanced? That right torso is also so vulnerable now, just one more lucky hit and hopefully it loses like half its weapons.

I'm still trying to puzzle out the Bobcat. We know it has somewhere between 22 and 24 heat capacity (It was OVERHEATING! at 25, but endured a 22 without problems), which could be either 11-12 DHS or 15-16 IHS. The armor we've seen would make sense for 8 tons of Ferro armor, but with 9 tons of standard armor there's 1 point unaccounted for somehow. With a standard engine and 10 heat sinks (baseline) that leaves us with -3 tons. An XL engine would give us 4 tons to play with, but that would give either too many DHS or not enough IHS to get to that minimum 22 heat sink capacity. Ferro + ES with nothing else puts us at 0 weight, so that would be 10 DHS, but that's not enough. What I think we have here is Ferro, XL engine, and 15 IHS, which would put us at 0 extra weight and fit the heat profile needed. A light fusion engine gives us 1.5 free tons, which could do it with 11 DHS, but then we've got a half-ton just sitting around and doing nothing.

I don't care as long as there's a juicy XL engine sitting behind that right torso. Still an interesting thought, what would an inheritor of the Star League have available if it did not go through any sort of catastrophic infighting, but if it started with a resource deficit. I know we've had some discussions about who these attackers are before, but I'm still convinced it's the NRWR.

Yeah, it has to have at least a Light Fusion engine, if not an XL, unless PTN is pulling out stuff like small cockpits or the like.

My guess would be these guys don't have LFEs. XLs and DHS were standard for the Star League's tech and Snubbies were brand new. ER Lasers were also being worked on. But LFEs are an entirely new thing that wasn't a Star League engine project. Most likely it simply doesn't exist yet.

The Bobcat is on the ropes, with an open torso and missing 3 jump jets. Too bad the Shadow Hawk had to get kicked in the face for it to happen. Oh well, this should end soon since the Bobcat's mobility is compromised badly now.

No, all of them had Smalls, because Manei Domini implants let you basically eliminate the penalties of small cockpits. (And then, for experimental tech, you had Machina Domini systems, which let you make a mech with no gyro, with a pile of other benefits, which makes them ridiculously good).

Still predatory despite its injuries, the Bobcat half ran, half leapt down the slope of the Caldera’s crumbling soil, kicking up rocks and shredding lichen with each step of its retrograde legs. Unlike many `Mechs with bird-like legs, the Bobcat didn’t bob and bounce like a chicken when it ran—through some quirk of its design perhaps, or simply the skill of its pilot, the Bobcat’s torso remained remarkably stable firing platform even as the `Mech smashed through the thin hardscrabble trees that still tried to grow in the Caldera’s rocky, acidic soil. The Bobcat’s parting shots blistered the armor on Andreou’s Cicada, and sent a shower of half-molten armor plating tumbling in low arcs before it vanished into the trees, its position easier to trace by the cloud of smoke leaking from its battered chest than from the vague shape moving through the heaviest woods. Mission Objective: Drive Off the 17th Arcturan Guards (5/6) Secondary Objective: Destroy or Disable the 17th Arcturan Guards (Failed!) Evade the enemy Heavy `Mech (Succeeded!)

Not if the bobcat is in heavy woods, and has one heavy woods between them.

Shoeless posted:Um, shouldn't the heavy woods hex only give +2 to hit, as two heavy woods would block LoS entirely, if there's more than one? Ordinarily, yes. However, standing IN a heavy woods hex still gets you the +2 bonus for that hex, but does not count as intervening terrain; so when line of sight is drawn through another hex of heavy woods the total to-hit penalty is +4

There is one between and the bobcat is in one, a unit inside a hex gets that modifier but unless underwater does not count that hex for if anyone else can see them. Woops ptn is much faster than me.
