Does your ride really rock?

Here's your chance to prove it.


I am scouting for interest in having players convert your favorite MWO mech builds into Table Top mech builds (via SSW and Megamek) and then test them on the Megamek (online Table Top) battlefield.

Are you mechwarriors up to the challenge?

Does your mech ride have what it takes to be the last mech standing?

I propose doing some kind of online Megamek fight amongst the MWO/megamek players on one of our megamek servers.

We will be using Smurfy to help make the mech conversions happen correctly:

http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab

The rules will require that your mech build will be a TW legal mech (level 2 tech) for this match or mech tourney. I will try to make it as fair as I can for those of you that run Ravens, Jenners, Spiders, etc... by giving you a boost in TT piloting skills to balance your mech combat value.

It is all for fun, so don't take it personal if your ride doesn't score the most damage after the fight. :)

How it plays out depends on the how much interest we get from the response to this thread.

I run an Atlas AS7-D-DC-MEK, so you know what I'll be bringing. It won't be a one on one mech fight, but a one mech per player team battle (Lance on Lance tournament most likely), or some kind of unit vs unit team battle or possibly a free for all battle.

Looking forward to making this fun.

GL and GH mechwarriors,

Cool, Blood Rose.

Do you know how to use Solaris Skunk Works to build your MWO mech into a mech design file that we can use in Megamek?

Having never played TT, in any of its incarnations... **** it, count me in. I think my builds are relatively TT friendly. They're certainly more balanced than the min-maxed meta you see in certain brackets of MWO.

also how2 skunk pls? thx :)
