ORCA 200t

Soooo, April is coming, it's not near but it's coming. And along the roadmap is new tech, so how about new horizons like a 200t battlemech for the next Joke 'Mech?

The Orca, weighing 200 tons, with a max speed of 32 KPH, a Sniper Artillery Piece, two ER PPCs, an LRM-20, a single Gauss Rifle, one ER Large Laser, an SRM-6, and a Small X-Pulse Laser. Essentially a fuckton of firepower.

It'll probably be worth that 20$.

See, this is why I am not gung ho about the whole time jump thing.
Geezuz.


Edit. I take it back...I think there is a 3060 era ECM Quickdraw variant. Let the new tech ideas pour forth!

Do you know what's even funny? It's a clan mech! That means it's limited to 240. Poor clanners xD

Edit:

Oh wait, it's the Poseidon that's clan mech. Silly me.

Pfft, that mech will be taken down by any bad to half decent light/medium pilot. Id hate to see a really good medium/light pilot **** it for stats.

It's a joke mech, lighten up. It's not like Urbie with STD60 was viable in the first place, why would this be any different being a joke mech?

I would get it. Maybe if they make it only count as 100 tons in FW. Or change all mechs to a different value besides tonnage to allow mechs like this. Could help reballance on a better measurement. Maybe based on Hardpoints or the weapons in the mech. Or something that takes them into account in a more complicated way.

Those things would make fantastic LRM beasts though. with enough ammo and a good team you could make very big LRM a feasible thing in FW.
