  • Custom Mech: Slim Thug

    That's right. Named after the rapper...and the Thug. I'm not wasting good names on throwaway designs.

    It uses the lighter ppcs w/TC and streak missiles to get it's accuracy up. It still runs rather cool. The compact gyro was a way to eat up 1.5 tons on a max-armor, 0 crit frame.

    The 21X tries to lift the power levels back  up to those of the original by incorporating enhanced capacitors in two of the light particle cannons, dropping the advanced targeting computer, smaller gyro, and endo-steel structural components for advanced armor.

    'Mech looks okay- 20-pt hits at medium-long range are pretty sweet if you can pull 'em off.  Solaris Skunk Works works pretty well, but it's bizarre that they made the TRO stat-block harder to read than HMP's.

    @skiltao - Yeah, the thing about more smaller weapons is that they give you damage more consistent with your to-hit probability. It reduces the role of luck (good and bad)in the scenario. Of course, that balances back by letting me throttle my heat/damage and freeing up enough space for a TC.

    I'm still trying to get the Battleforce thing working. Not that I'm complaining.
