Unfortunately the QKD-5M is not possible, since One Shot launchers are not in the game. The QKD-5M mounted a one-shot SRM4 launcher.

[Sergey Kosinskiy]

Oh ok, didnt see this one-shot launcher. A shame.

Yesterday was better. I only played on the Clan side this time, but I continually pushed for less tonnage for Clans, and -- partly as a result of this larger tonnage bonus for the IS -- the Clans didn't curbstomp the IS this time.

I believe I've discovered a key point for Clan vs. IS stock matches: Clan teams should have light 'mechs for balance. The stock Clan lights are bad enough (we're talking Locust armor but medium 'mech speed, and fairly unimpressive firepower) that their presence appears to do even more to even out the balance than the IS's tonnage advantage!

I remain interested in trying this out again, this time from the IS side, and with appropriate amendments to the balance, such as those with which we experimented yesterday. There are still a few questions about the exact bonuses the IS needs (and/or the penalties the Clanners need) in order for it to be a fair match, but I believe we're on the right track.

I propose to ban ECM.

ECM is the most broken crap that PGI has invented up to date.

The our particular problem is that not every stock run with TAG as it is norm in public games.
So having single peace of equipment of 1,5 ton that can disable literally dozens and dozens of tons on enemy team is simple broken ****. Let them take modules instead.

I write it down here as in 3025 we dont have that problem.

Spider builds for panther are not the same. Internal structure is not same, be cause tonnage is different.

[General Taskeen]

I haven't seen ECM stocks used on any stock days in a while Jaeger. The only stock one with it is the Raven-3L. For that works best is an agreement from both teams to use it or not. But yes, I agree ECM in this game in particular is very whacky compared to say MW:LL or MW4. In those games, even a stock Mech could fire their missiles at an ECM Mech in LOS.

[Crotch RockIt]

I agree with Jager about banning ECM on the Raven 3L.

MAD-3R

I created the stock classic Marauder using the Orion K chassis, it's point for point what the old TRO's say. Since you created a rifleman for this event, I thought I'd try.

[General Taskeen]

A lot of people have asked about the Marauder, but I did not include it Techorse. I know it can be built, but I tried not to go too wild with pseudo builds for this event. Mainly the Rifleman is there since it is directly related to the JagerMech chassis, have similar hardpoints, and follow the same physical like design. The other pseudo is the Caesar, which is directly related in its physical appearance to the Cataphract (and directly based off Cataphract prototypes 0X and 1X).

I know a Marauder build is possible, but its a stretch since the Orion doesn't have the same physical appearance and low silhouette advantage as a Marauder. In any case, I wish the Marauder were to be simply added to the game, screw Harmony Gold . The possibilities if this game was moddable argh... I may change my mind in the future and simply add a "MAD" build to the forum "legal" list, we'll see.

• BLR-1Gb The 1Gb was an upgraded BattleMaster that was used by the Terran Hegemony-based SLDF Royals. It was built on an Endo Steel chassis and used double heat sinks. It only retained the forward-facing Medium Lasers. To those it added a pair of ER PPCs and a Large Pulse Laser.^[12] BV (2.0) = 1,825^[13][14]

Is that a new stock group, lol of fearsome RVN-2X and RVN-4X?

[Carl Avery]

Real Ravens are black and they fly, and only the 4X is capable of fitting both of those requisites! : )

What you do mean, lol?

Did it give you a classic "Battle Tech feel" with classic loadouts?

Anyways I'll be joining in again next week, hopefully for all 3 stock days. I'm in the process of updating the stock lists again in my signature.

I've also revived the demand for a stock mode thread to earn c-bills with stock games.
