I don't like thread necro but I gotta say I love your original mech mashups. I might go make some TROs for them in SSW/MML, see how well I can fit them into the tabletop rules and spirit.

That's super cool! Make sure you show them to me when you're done

Where do you think they did?

[Selene Lunaris]

Totally did the Centaur already. It gave me a very Drac vibe... I don't think SSW exports it with the file but it's supposed to have the ''unbalanced'' quirk, due to its length and the stubby arms.

Centaur CNT-3K

Mass: 40 tons
Tech Base: Inner Sphere
Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Succession Wars
Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-F-E-A
Production Year: 3045
Cost: 3.752.000 C-Bills
Battle Value: 1.069

Chassis: Alshain Class 540 Endo-Steel
Power Plant: Magna 240 Fusion Engine
Walking Speed: 64,8 km/h
Maximum Speed: 97,2 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor: Starshield Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
1 Victory Drumbeat Large Pulse Laser
4 Victory 23R Medium Lasers
2 Zippo Flamers
1 Yori Flyswatter Anti-Missile System
Manufacturer: Luthien Armor Works
Primary Factory: Luthien
Communications System: Dawson IV
Targeting and Tracking System: Bk-320

Overview:
The Centaur is a 3045 Draconis Combine design. Designed amidst the resurgence
of Lostech, the Centaur makes use of an endo-steel internal skeleton to free up
weight for its rather heavy weapons load, especially given its tonnage. 6 tons
of ferro-fibrous weave provide ample protection, given its scout role. A Magna
240-rated standard engine provide it with more battlefield endurance than some
of the other 'Mech designs springing up, while also propelling it to a
respectable top speed of 97.2 km/h.


Capabilities:
For a scout 'Mech, the Centaur is rather heavily armed. The core of its
firepower is the Victory Drumbeat large pulse laser mounted in its right torso,
providing it with a powerful weapon which remains accurate even on the move.
Four medium lasers give it a nasty short range punch in addition to the pulse
laser. A Yori Flyswatter anti-missile system protects the 'Mech from incoming
missiles. To protect itself from infantry or cover up its retreat, the 'Mech
also carries two Zippo flamers mounted in the center torso.

This is amazing!! I love this, great work!

You actually picked one of my least favourite mechs, I always thought like it looked a bit silly, ha! No wonder the Dracs are using it

Do you have any mechs you would like to see mixed or being done? This gives so much inspiration

All I can say is just mix away! Your designs are the inspiration I use for my TROs, and I really love doing them. In fact I'm working on the Breaker as we speak. Those LRMs give me a kinda Marik-esque vibe...

The Breaker is pretty cool, I always imagined the mech to be abled to punch holes inside of a hangar or something like that and unleash a storm of lasers and rockets inside. Something like a Bunker-Buster

Breaker BRK-R1

Mass: 60 tons
Tech Base: Inner Sphere
Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Succession Wars
Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-F-E-A
Production Year: 3050
Cost: 9.839.680 C-Bills
Battle Value: 1.399

Chassis: Crucis Type VI Standard
Power Plant: Hermes 240 Fusion XL Engine
Walking Speed: 43,2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 64,8 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor: Valiant Lamellor Standard Armor w/ CASE
Armament:
2 Zeus LRM-15s
1 Magna Mk III Large Laser
3 Magna Mk II Medium Lasers
1 Hovertec Streak SRM-2
Manufacturer: Kali Yama Weapons Industries
Primary Factory: Kalidasa
Communications System: Irian Orator-5B
Targeting and Tracking System: Corean B-Tech

Overview:
Designed in 3050, just in time for the Clan Invasion, the Breaker is the Free
Worlds League's attempt at creating a fire support 'Mech in the vein of the
ancient Catapult heavy 'Mech. Using recently discovered technologies, the
Breaker doesn't just copy the Catapult's potent long range loadout, but also
adds a respectable suite of backup weapons.

Weight for this is freed up by the 240-rated extra-light engine powering the
design, propelling it up to a speed of 64.8km/h. This allows it to easily keep
the pace with assault lances, or make a timely retreat when kept in the rear.
Coupled with the 13 tons of armor protecting it, the Breaker is a very sturdy
'Mech given its role.


Capabilities:
Configured mainly for fire support, the Breaker is built for its two 15-tube
LRM racks. Spread across the right torso and right arm, the long range missiles
can put a blistering barrage downrange. The three tons of LRM ammo give it the
ability to either make good use of special munitions or keep up a non-stop LRM
barrage for two minutes; the eleven double heat sinks of the design keep the
LRM launchers heat neutral for these two minutes as well. The LRM ammo bins are
protected by CASE to prevent pilot injuries, and makes sure the expensive
engine isn't totally destroyed.

Its backup weaponry is surprisingly versatile and powerful, further augmenting
the 'Mech's already respectable durability in a brawl. A Magna-designed large
laser gives it a powerful mid-range weapon, while three Magna medium lasers and
a Streak SRM-2 provide it with a potent close range punch, giving it the
ability to defend itself until reinforcements arrive.


Variants:
Breaker BRK-R3


Introduced alongside the R1 variant in limited numbers, the R1 variant is what
the Centurion was to the Trebuchet - a short to medium range fighter. Removing
the LRM racks and the Streak launcher of the R1 variant has freed up enough
space for two six-tube SRM racks. Four jump jets enhance its mobility,
especially in the close confines of urban warfare. The medium lasers have been
upgraded to pulse versions to offset the poor accuracy of the 'Mech after
jumping, while an Artemis IV fire control system does the same for the SRM
racks, with the added benefit of additional accuracy during normal combat as
well. The large laser has been retained for mid-range combat. The 'Mech's role
as a close range combatant also allows it to make better use of the massive
battle fist mounted in the left arm, something that often goes unused in the
R1 variant.

I quickly made that R3 variant after I read your last post, Iqfish. It checks out tonnage-wise too - I just figured it'd be overkill to export an entire separate txt file. I did construct it in a separate file.

Edit: I also noticed I got the left and right sides mixed up AGAIN. MML reverses it compared to SSW, and I'm more familiar with MML's layout because I use it for campaigns. I'll flip them in a bit.

It's really no issue! I thoroughly enjoy making these. Feel free to quote these below the pictures in the main post if you'd like. I don't mind.

Just... Do it after I flip their equipment to be on the proper sides, yeah?

Apologies for the double post, but I fixed the Breaker and Centaur. I even added a low-tech Centaur variant to make up for my stupidity.

Variants:
Centaur CNT-1K


An early prototype of the CNT-3K, the 1K still relies on single heat sinks to
cool its laser-heavy loadout. While it carries 4 more heat sinks than the 3K's
10, they dissipate only a little under three fourths of the heat the 3K's
double heat sinks can dissipate. Without the ferro-fibrous weave available, the
1K carries much lighter armour than the 3K, while it also uses a conventional
large laser instead of the more accurate pulse weapon.

I present to you: The Doorknocker



This mech is a walking tank. We all know mechs are armored, but this thing has an extra layer on everything. It's entire purpose is to clear out heavy positions, preferably occupied by infantry.

The Doorknocker is not fast and not agile, and his left arm is completely made for ripping concrete and steel apart. The attached blade-like plate of special reinforced Endo-Steel can be used as a melee for both mechs and buildings.
The right arm is armed with an Ultra-Autocannon and an AC/2, to get rid of swarming infantry or light armor. The Autocannon is typically loaded with HE-Fragmentation shells, which is ineffective against armor, but very effective against soft targets. The AC/2 is loaded with normal anti-armor shells.

The Torso has 2 lasers and 2 SRM/6 mounted, to exterminate anything that survived the burst of the two Autocannons.

The Cockpit was reinforced, as a result the view is very limited for the pilot. This is why the mech is outfitted with a wide range of sensors and observation devices, located around the "head" and the center torso. The Communication System was also improved, which has lead to three characteristic antennas sticking out. Upon ejection, an enclosed capsule shoots out of the head, which grants the pilot a secure rescue afterwards.

The armor system is completely enclosed and ABC proof, to enable an operation of the mech even in the most active battlefields. This leads to enormous heat inside the closed armor, which is being emitted by the two big ventilation holes in the side torsi.

The machine is extremely vulnerable to airstrikes and should not operate one second without active sniper and LRM cover, since the mech is outfitted for close range engagements almost exclusively.
It has however proven to be very useful in numerous battles over heavily defended spaceports or cities.

It looks Lyran! Yes, I can work with this... Been a while since I messed with experimental tech.

Alright, the format for the Doorknocker is gonna be a bit different! SSW didn't support some of the experimental tech stuff I needed to make it true to the description, so I'll paste my little fluff below.

A thought experiment gone too far, the Doorknocker is Defiance Industries' answer to the Clans' long-range combat capabilities. Instead of countering range with range, the Doorknocker is designed to weather the fire while it closes the distance... To then give its opponents a fierce trashing. Even if its design brief has changed since the Battle of Tukayyid to be a slightly more conventional city assault 'Mech, its heritage still shows in the design.

With components completely custom-built by Defiance's plant on Hesperus IV, the gargantuan Doorknocker weighs in at 100 tons, held up by a custom-designed Foundation Type XX endo-steel chassis. A custom engineered Vlar 300 extra-light engine propels the 'Mech to a barely acceptable speed of 43.2km/h - below the average for a 'Mech equipped with an engine of this rating. Weighing it down is the whopping 38 and a half tons of Durallex Superheavy hardened armor, giving the 'Mech the ability to weather absolutely incredible amounts of fire before ever going under. The cockpit is custom-built with armored components, providing the safest environment its pilot could ever ask for - further augmented by the CASE-protected ammo bins, making a pilot loss due to ammo explosion almost impossible.

Due to the immense weight of the armored cockpit and the hardened armor, the Doorknocker carries a lighter weapons load than what would be typical for its weight. In its right arm, it carries two autocannons - an Ultra Autocannon/5 as its main source of ranged firepower, an a class 2 autocannon loaded with fragmenting ammunition for use against soft targets such as infantry. As the range closes, it can call upon two six-tube SRM racks mounted in its side torsos for additional firepower. With one ammo bin typically equipped with regular ammunition and one equipped with Inferno warheads, these launchers further augment the Doorknocker's immense firepower in the confines of urban combat. Finally, it has two conventional Defiance B3M medium lasers sitting in its center torso - perhaps the only components not custom-built for the Doorknocker alone. The crowning piece of the 'Mech's weaponry is the endo-steel blade mounted on its left arm - functioning as a hatchet and shortsword of sorts, this addition makes the 'Mech absolutely deadly in close quarters combat, capable of punching through both building walls and 'Mech armor with little trouble.

While the ten double heat sinks mounted in the engine keep the 'Mech cool even when alpha striking, the hardened armor detracts from its cooling abilities. While sturdy and nigh-impossible to breach, the armor only allows two vents for the 'Mech's cooling system to vent heat through - both placed above the SRM launchers. While they normally work perfectly, with the cooling system built like clockwork, the vents are prone to failure when struck, resulting in excess heat being circulated back into the 'Mech. Thanks due to the cool-running main weapons of the design, though, this is usually rarely an issue unless the vents are struck after an alpha strike, or unless the engine is leaking excess heat into the 'Mech's myomer bundles after taking damage.

The cooling system deficiency is actually reflected by the ''Flawed Cooling System'' quirk which would normally inflict a +5 heat penalty on the 'Mech when it takes more than 20 damage in one turn.

Do you think it is possible to do the Poseidon and or Omega? Thanks!

couple of these are simply fantastic, most are good to very good, one looks like its pregnant, but when only one out of all of them doesn't look all that great... WELL DONE.

Just one thing missing, the targeting crosshairs/and multiple "red dot" tags painted on the head of Paul's Longbow.

Can you do a Firefly? I'm just saying cause I'd like to see what a Stalker CT mounted on tiny spindly little Light-mech legs would look like. lol
