The Shield is a scalable equipment that acts like extra armor. For every ton of shield, you gain 5 Armor Value. Add it to a left hand, and any hits that hit the left arm/leg/shoulder or torso get tanked by the shield instead, until it is destroyed. At which point it acts like any armor does, meaning it gets replaced like armor as long as you have enough spares around.

Just woke up, but huh, that's very interesting. Does getting armor salvage after the battlefield (from destroyed enemy BattleMechs or vehicles) help mitigate having spares of armor around? Does it affect the Mech's movement profile? Because if not, I can see the War Monks having said ablative shield to successfully charge in though that means forgoing the Battle Claw... will the 'jettison-capable' perk be enabled for the shield since it'll (likely) be handheld?

Also people, maybe it's just me, but please use Task Votes aka don't forget the [Mech #1] and [Mech #2] in your votes otherwise QM might be confused which 30-ton Mech is being picked for Mech #1 (unless we'll be picking the top two Mechs regardless of tonnage so having two 30 tonners might be... interesting?). If not the QM, then I certainly am confused by the votes. EDIT2: On second thought, maybe we can get two 30-tonners Mech as first design after all, so disregard this.

And for all that is holy, we don't have access to SRM-4, for some reason but probably due to MML?, for the Trooper that seems to favor it unless it's supposed to be MML-3??? EDIT3:

EDIT (After reading wanting to utilize the jettison-capable weaponry): A neat idea, worrisome that yeeting spend weaponry will be a thing since that could cause... a cascade effect courtesy of ComStar snooping around, but a neat idea indeed. I guess those could be treated as modular weaponry-esque aka a pseudo Omni-Mech due to handheld weaponries being swappable...

...I hope it's the handheld weapons, and not because you applied the Jettison-Capable which should be done for hand-helds only to -every- weapon placement in your design. I've only used it for the Arm-located weapons (barring the Claw for the War Lancer since it replaces the Hand so technically not 'handheld') since the Jettison-Capable quirk seems to work only with handheld unless I miss a QM reply/response somewhere that applying it to every weapon is as a pseudo-Omni/Modular Mech is A-okay.

EDIT3: Neat idea on the UPM, I can see it working in Urban Defense. Would definitely like to slap in some JJs on it for more maneuverability in said urban environment once we have access to those, but it does lose out in dealing with non-Mech/Vehicle targets which initially throw me off but I guess it's not like we'll get to that point since we are a combined arms so let the infantry deal with the infantry thing, no?

SRM 4

Just noticed that, but you do not have access to SRM4s (or 2/6s, or LRMs), you have MMLs.

In order;
I don't plan to track that, but a shield is basically just a slab of armor. Easy enough to repair if damaged.
Nope.
Yeah, since it can be either integrated into the arm or held, and thus reduced.

You are right in that regard. The trait only works on weapons that are hand-held.

It is late here; so night!

Finally, a reply! So I don't have to edit my post!

Lián Nú L2N-M4C1 - 4 MML-9 and 1 Light Coilgun make for a potent all-range attacker. (@SCPAIC please change the Fluid Gun as you described in the fluff.)

@SCPAIC Is that the proper design? So that means the Light Coilgun doesn't have any sort of ammo to it? And the MML-9s are supplied with three tons of ammo that are swappable and not because they're literally all LRMs? I guess my one nitpick is that ammo in the Left Leg but that's just me. It's like a Catapult without JJs and has to stay still to fire the MML-9s without accruing the first Heat level penalty at +5 heat...

(MML-9s x 4 is 20 Heat, sinked with 16 down to 4. <--- has to stay still or walk, not RUN which gives another +2 Heat.)

This Design must -not- overheat else it'll cook its ammo bins, though I gotta go to so I forgot which Heat Threshold you start rolling to avoid cooking your ammo. @_@; There's a reason I only stuck two MML-9s to the Guhslinger to avoid said scenario even if it runs for two turns and have to walk thereafter. It's meant to be 'standing-off' from range after all.

Ah odd but fair enough, will fix.

All my weapons should be hand-held, unless you count tools.

DiscordOxymoron said:

If i remember correctly a weapons should come with one ton of ammo installed, and since the coilgun is supposed to be a fall back weapon, that one ton is more than enough. if that is untrue i'll have to fix that

Yes, didn't want to have to figure out what ammo did what.

Not one ton of ammo if I recall, just one shot. There's a reason why some of the weapons have OS (One Shot) in MML (and similar) to indicate such, that's why I was asking.

The Leg Ammo is a no go for me due to it potentially blowing up which blows up the corresponding torso above it which then explodes if it has ammo to nearby locations unless if it has CASE / Blowout Panels. It is at the end of the day your own Mech Design so really up to you at the end of the day. If we had access to Clan CASE, then putting ammo in Legs is understandable since it wouldn't spread towards the torso.

Still, the Trooper will be an interesting Mech, despite being a Light Mech, same with the next Light Mech too.

Okay, I am calling the vote for the 30 Ton Mech, which will be the Trooper!
The vote for your other Mech will remain open.

Can someone give me 2d40s please?

HeroCooky · Tuesday at 11:36 AM

Proposed Designs:
Lián Nú L2N-M4C1 - 4 MML-9 and 1 Light Coilgun make for a potent all-range attacker.
Guhslinger (Prototype) GHS-00GH-2 - 2 Medium Coilgun Revolvers and 2 MML-9 with all the style of the wild west.
Thor M1a - 2 Heavy Coilguns and 2 MML-3s burn the Thor M1a into your foes memory...and their torsos.
Thor M2a - With 4 Light Coilguns in each hand and one MML-5 on each shoulder, the Thor M2a sends out a withering hail of fire to all who oppose it!
Linesman Heavy Trooper - A Heavy Coilgun in the left, a hefty shield in the right, and an MML-3 in the chest, make this Mech what its name suggests: a trooper for the front!
Loki Direct Support Mech - 4 Medium Coilgun turrets in the shoulders allow this bunker of a Mech to set itself up as a fortress on the battlefield, all thanks to 6 Tons of shield in each hand.
Hochlander HOC-1a - Small the Hochlander may be compare to other proposals, it still packs a big package you need two hands to handle. ;]

I like this one the most because it is a good balance between firepower keeping the maintenance in check.

Negative Quirks for the Trooper:

I'm so sorry!
Should have left the gambling to the professionals

Is the bad reputation because it doesn't do melee like the Arcanum people love... or because of the No ejection system?

I'm making up my own reason as to why.

can I do the no ejection system?
if not, the Fontaine Mech Design Club was in my mind, a bunch of amateur mech enthusiasts, do with that as you will.

also the fact that it is inspired by the death-trap known as a the Zaku, and has no ejection system amuses me.

Edit: forgot the quote.

You can certainly write up the fluff for that if you'd like!

I am monopolizing the Bad Reputation for myself.

amateur hour
if anyone had told Shaph that she would be become happily married and a military contractor due to her being a Mecha nerd, she'd laughed in their face and then called the nearest mental hospital. And then she was accepted onto the Fontaine, and transported into the future/other dimension, where apparently mechs was a normal part of warfare.

A ping from her computer brought her out her thoughts, yet another meting with some local sheriff/mayor on Gunshallow. She leaned back on her (very expensive) office chair, thought for a moment, and then clicked no. her anniversary for was coming up and she didn't want anything to sour her mood.

The doors opened and her husband entered, her Arcanum husband, her mechtech Arcanum husband. "my love" She loved when he called her that, adored it really. "there is no ejection system."

she stopped "what?"

"the Trooper... it has no ejection system"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Achibal held the phone away as the woman for whom he had been a bridesmaid for, screeched for the fifth time now. He knew that in a moment it was going get worse

"I thought Sandie was going to design it"

The phone went dead

"Shaph? you there"

Achibal frowned, that wasn't what he thought was going to happen.

"Shaph if you're saying anything i can't hear you"

still nothing... he began fiddling with phone, taking off the outer shell.

"Ah the speaker broke"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The smoke grew ever thicker as Sandie exhaled. The thick cigar forcing her to grin.

"ah thought Miche was going to do it."

She knew what the bitch was going to say..

"but you did the body, that would include the head"

Shaph never knew when to shut up.

"ah did the body, not the head"

the cross dresser spoke his voice stabing into her ears.

"so who did the head then?"

She rolled her eyes, they never where good at listening

"ah said that miche was going to do it"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"broooo i never did that, you know i can't do all of that fancy wiring. it's just to complected. not like a engine, you know, just make it spin like cat and your goood."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it wasn't Oxy either, but they did know who designed the head.

Hi Folasade

We'd just like to know, but you designed the head right?
and just to be sure that also did included the ejection system correct?

many hugs

Greetings from Sigar IV

It was me that designed the head, yes.
The ejection system was supposed to be a part of it, yes.

Sprits bless you

RE:RE:Trooper Design Specifications

so just to be clear you weren't the one that was going to design to ejection system?

RE:RE:RE:Trooper Design Specifications

no i thought Shaph was doing that.

Edit: fixed to be cannon.

Gunshallow who would, no doubt think her a lesser for the crime of having breast

Delete that and its fully canon. The designers wouldn't get rich from this (they'd also mostly do it for the challenge/novelty/getting to slap their name on it), and Gunhallow is pretty egalitarian.

Also; first Omake here, yey! :>

KleverKil'Vanya · Tuesday at 3:26 PM

I will say I like calling the m2 Thor the 'I will FIND your ammo!' build

DiscordOxymoron · Tuesday at 3:31 PM

Huh, neat, we're doing Negative Quirks. Was worried about only getting Positive Quirks. @_@;

The Zaku will be confused with the actual Trooper/Flea, granted it's 10 tons bigger but yeah.

[X] Guhslinger (Prototype) GHS-00GH-2

Voting for a Flagship Mech, but at this rate, if Approval voting is a thing, I'd vote for the Capellan (?) name design for future shenanigans.

[X] Lián Nú L2N-M4C1

Also, @KleverKil'Vanya, how are your Heavy Coilguns able to fit in your Left and Right Arms whilst still retaining the one ton reduction? ~~Heavy Coilguns are 11 critical slots which aren't enough for the Arms~~, EDIT: Irrelevant, had to check to make sure but it's 9 critical slots. nevermind applying the Jettison Capable quirk means it is understood that those are handheld: the only way you can put in the Heavy Coilguns to your Arms is starting to removing Hands. @_@; I am confused.

And hey QM, can I pitch in the Sheriff or is it too late? It's a smaller Thor without the MMLs. I question the need for the shorter ranged Light Coilguns despite having four but then I recall it is based on StarCraft II.

Yeah, had to check, so nevermind that. Had to check if I used the proper one for my Sheriff design (later, currently not at laptop). I'm already fearing the mess of the various Fusion Engines we will need as everyone seems to be pitching in various designs without having a singular similarity of future Standard FE.
