Can we all just agree not to fight and haul as many salvaged mechs back and sell them for mucho c-bills?

But I want all the salvage. And hey if people want to fight for it that means even more salvage... I think I will need a bigger dropship.

[Franchi]

Here is what bothers me, mechs are rare and EXPENSIVE no way those destroyed mechs would be left out there long enough to get that bad.

In the game .pak files, there are models for damaged Hunchback, Raven, and Catapult parts. Someone on reddit had the same question, and I answered more fully what I found in this thread:

Nah, it's a Catapult. But whoever did the art for the wreck mistakenly attached the struts way too far forward, which is what makes it look wierd.

that is a catapult with its cockpit canopy slid forward and off.

No. The files where I found bomb.xml (and Panchor and Javelin) aren't locations where mech information is stored. Internal game scripts, usually having to do with events, item descriptors, or event descriptors are stored where I found them.

I sorted through all the files in .pak's that were newer than 3/6/2013 and noted the ones that caught my eye, in addition to the damaged mech parts in Tourmaline Desert.

I noticed two blackened and half burried Catapults, missing some limbs, both appeared to scale.

What I would like to know is why there is a Behemoth class dropship on the map, when Behemoth class dropships are unable to land... Sounds like somebody lost his pilots license for that frak up...

Maybe Captain S'slee is...Gorn with the wind.



Just in case, though, better keep your bamboo bazooka handy.

The Behemoth is the largest DropShip ever constructed by the Star League or the Clans. Originally designed by Krester's Ship Construction, the Behemoth was sold to foreign customers and its construction continued on after the company's demise.^[3] Due to its sheer size its structure is prone to stress damage, which is the reason why Behemoths rarely operate at more than half of their drive's thrust capacity. The hull cannot support planet-type gravity and the Behemoth therefore cannot land on planets and may not operate in atmosphere. Instead, they are typically serviced by shuttles and smaller DropShips, and operate in conjunction with cargo transfer space stations to conduct their cargo operations. While the requirement for small craft or smaller DropShips to move its cargo to planets adds an extra logistic and monetary cost compared to the 52,000-ton Mammoth class, the Behemoth's nearest rival and the largest DropShip capable of planetary operations, the sheer volume of cargo the Behemoth can carry far outweighs this. The high cost of running a Behemoth ensures that only the largest trading companies can afford to operate them and they ply only the busiest trade routes, usually far from any conflict. In fact there is only one known example that's privately owned and this ship is the property of Duke Hassid Ricol of the Draconis Combine.^[4]

Because its not a behemoth, it's an overlord.

Or at least it was an overlord in the game files before the patch..

Ships also aren't supposed to go under water, but I'm sure you'll find plenty of'em on the ocean floor.

Sh*t happens and things go wrong. THAT is how it got there.
