Got SSW working, so reposting some mechs.

First, secondary config for the Wild Weasel (primary config down the page), meant for close in fighting, hit and run tactics.

Clan design meant to be free of ammo restrictions, and able to take down mechs much larger then itself quickly.

This one is purely for fun. Meant to be surprisingly fast for an assault mech (Triple Strength Myomer, and a Super Charger) to close the distance quickly and withstand any punishment as it does so (hardened armor), it's supposed to inspire fear or unnerve it's opponent with it's massive claws (yeah yeah, know it probably doesn't need both) and staying power. Definitely a brawler mech, and something probably destined for Solaris matches.

Caveman, while it's a slow mech, the additional jump jets are pretty nice, but that heat curve has to be insane. lol. Seems a bit slow to mount only one long range weapon, but then again you said it's a second line mech so it'll probably see mostly defensive garrisons, so that may really not be a big issue. Still, that's some nasty close range punch.

It's as fast as you can make a tournament-legal 85-tonner, and it still does it with a standard engine for maximum toughness. As you noted, it's mainly intended for defending high-value targets, frequently in urban areas, so I didnt consider the reliance on mainly medium-range weapons to be an issue. Besides, if I had to pick only one long range weapon I would pick the PPC every time. Even assault 'Mechs don't last long under continued PPC fire.

As far as heat goes, yeah it runs hot, but it was designed for use by an experienced pilot who'll know better than to just fire everything and pray. The weapons are bracketed by range and firing arc and intended to be used in patterns to keep the heat under control. Besides, with a standard engine, lots of armor, and no ammo onboard, it can even afford to spend a round shut down if you get overzealous with the lasers.

HMP = Heavy Metal Pro, the official Mech Designing program, except that you have to pay for it.
Its also rather outdated.
SSW (which I used for the above) is free and up-to-date.

Don't underestimate that smegger, its got higher damage/ton ratio than the canon marauders (0.91/Ton).

SSW is more up to date than HMP really? I had trouble with SSW trying to just upgrade my WHM-6M1A for my campaign it wouldn't let me add the flamer and SRM 2. HMP allowed me to do that.

Currently trying to mess around with a Marauder II and trying to outfit it with 2 Gauss Rifles and 2 MRM 10 Launchers

Not sure what your problem is, but SSW has VSP Lasers, Rifle (Cannons), etc. etc. whilst HMP requires the use of the Custom Weapon button to get those. SSW also has Partial Wings and the like. All the gear from TechManual and TacOps are in it, as well as assorted other tidbits like the primitive 'Mechs from Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents. It also has built-in omni configuration support. (HMP needs a seperate program for that.)

Sure, its a bit slower (by 1/1/1 MP), but its got the same firepower, better heat dissipation, and an ECM/Probe as bonus.

[Jack Gallows]

The WW-1D is an experimental Davion design originally laid down in late 3042, with the first prototype being constructed in 3045. The desire of Davion Military Command was to develop a mech able to fill two roles on the battlefield by incorporating the newest of technologies. These roles were as a long range harasser that can spot for artillery/fire support mechs while also providing defense for these units in a jam, and to act as a hunter/killer for enemy missile encampments or tanks.

To achieve these roles, the Wild Weasel mounts two Ultra AC/5s with enough ammo to sustain a high rate of fire from both weapons for long engagements without having to rearm if away from friendly supply lines, adding in CASE protecting it's ammunition from disabling the 'mech.
The long range of the Ultra AC/5s, combined with a TAG and a top speed of over 97 kp/h, help protect the Wild Weasel while it carries on it's mission, backed by 9.5 tons of armor should it run into something it can't outpace/kill.

A few detractor's note it's lack of weapon diversity, and reliance on new and costly technology that might hamper it's widespread production should it prove itself a valuable addition to the armies of the Federated Sun. Time will tell if this machine will live up to it's designation that harkens back to the ancient warbirds of Terran militaries.

I always enjoyed making custom mechs. I especially love seeing some here that have some fluff to them. Even a 'bad' mech can be fun if it has good fluff.

For now, though, one of my personal favorites, the Flash Fuse

[Hawk819]

BattleMech: BattleMaster "Agamemnon"
Variant: BLR-1G2

Armament: Location:
1 Lord's Light Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon Series-V Right Torso
1 Sunfire Series-VI Medium Pulse Laser Right Torso
1 Sunfire Series-VI Medium Pulse Laser Left Torso
1 Federated 10-shot LRM Launcher Right Torso
2 Tons of Federated AIM-12D Missiles Right Torso
1 Cellular Armor Storage Equipment Right Torso
2 Sunfire Series-VI Medium Pulse Lasers Left Arm
2 Sunfire Series-VI Medium Pulse Lasers Center Torso

I hope the tonnage proves accurate. Cause this is my baby.

[Johnathan Underwood]

I think my favorite right now is a SW Era custom Whammie. Drops the MGs and secondary energy weapons for 2 extra SHS (up to 20), 2 more tons of armor, and an extra ton of SRM ammo (because infernos do obscene things to infantry and vees).

[Jack Gallows]

For fun mech, trying to make something that's a very fast recon/scout mech, something to sneak behind enemy lines and spot for other mechs.

*Edit* Seems SSW bugs on quad turrets when you load the mech. Removes them and won't let me select, grays out the box.

Overview:
The Carnivore began as a Smoke Jaguar response to MechWarriors' demand for a
Mist Lynx replacement with more firepower. After the Annihilation of the
Jaguars by the Inner Sphere, Clan Coyote won the prototypes and manufacturing
plans as part of a series of Trials of Possession for any remaining technology
in former Jaguar territory. Coyote scientists examined the captured prototypes
and made several modifications before advising the Keshik to put the design
into production.


Capabilities:
True to the Smoke Jaguars' preoccupation with firepower, the Carnivore features
an unprecedented twelve tons of pod space, almost twice the payload of the Mist
Lynx. Achieving such a heavy weapons load on a 25-ton chassis required
sacrificing much of the Mist Lynx's mobility, as well as its integrated
electronics suite. As such, the Carnivore is far more limited in its ability to
perform reconaissance, but its heavy weapon load makes it capable of engaging
even medium 'Mechs with confidence.

The Coyotes' changes to the production Carnivore included outfitting several of
its weapons configurations with Advanced Tactical Missiles. The primary loadout
combines an ATM-3 with an Ultra autocannon/5, with a pair of extended-range
lasers as backup, for a solid medium-range strike package with low heat buildup.

The first alternate configuration to appear features two ER large lasers and a
targeting computer, making it impressively deadly for such a light 'Mech. Like
the similar Adder Prime, this configuration has notable overheating issues.

The second alternate configuration is designed to gain back some of the Mist
Lynx's recon and infantry-sweeping capability. It adds jump jets, as well as an
active probe, and features pulse lasers, machine guns, a flamer, and
short-range missiles for urban engagements.

The third alternate configuration carries a maximum load of ATM launchers, with
ECM gear and medium lasers as backup.

Alternate configuration D has appeared in honor duels, featuring one of the
large lasers from configuration A combined with an ATM-6 launcher and an
anti-missile system.


Deployment:
Clan Coyote has placed few Carnivores into active service, instead trading the
majority of the production run for raw materials imported from the invading
Clans' occupation zones. The Jade Falcons in particular have received a number
of Carnivores, using them in combination with Cougars and Fire Falcons in light
striker Stars. Hell's Horses units have deployed a handful of Carnivores,
utilizing massed short-range missiles and Narc beacons. Carnivores have also
been seen in the markings of Clan Star Adder, using heavy lasers.

Still waiting for SSW to update to Final Reckoning. I want those Superheavy rules, kersplunk.

[Alizabeth Aijou]

Then you can wait for at least 2-3 more months since the rules won't be in it until at least two months after the dead-tree edition of Final Reckoning.

Manufacturer: Defiance Industries
	Primary Factory: Furillo
Communications System: TharHes Crystal Flower RG-2
Targeting and Tracking System: O/P Scanoptics Model 5
Overview:
This mech is a joke.
 
A comment often associated with the Locust II. Weighing in at 80 tons, the mech
is considered by some to be a mockery of the original locust, a mech famed for
its small size, agility, and speed. Many pilots who've used the Locust II,
however, are forced to admit that many of the same qualities needed to make a
good Locust pilot are required of a man commanding a Locust II.
 
Although Defiance has never confirmed it, the unoffical story of the Locust II
is that it stemmed from a late night off hours session among several Defiance
employees. Inspiration supposedly was struck upon after the consumption of
several different psychotropic drugs and a offhand comment about "100 ton Death
Locusts with 'super-guns-that-go-ping'."
 
Capabilities:
The Locust II is one of the speediest assault class mechs in existance, matched
only be older model Chargers, Spartans, and the Clan Man-O- War, Warhammer &
Pheonix Hawk IICs. With its MASC engaged it is, in fact, the fastest 80 ton
mech currently in production, and can often out pace even Heavy class mechs. In
addition to all this, specially design actuators making use of semi-magnetic
bearings and ultra-low friction polymers make the design one of the most nimble
mechs around, regardless of weight class.
 
The Locust IIs weapons were chosen with consideration towards making the mech
capable of striking its opponents with impunity. A chin mounted Maxell Extended
Range Large Laser provides most of this firepower. It's range superiority is
all but guaranteed by its 2 "Defiance Pepperer" LB-X autocannons. In addition
to all this, the Locust II carries an impressive Electronic warfare suite,
allowing it to fulfil its primary role as heavy scout.
 
A thick skin of Durrallex Special armor ensures that anything capable of
catching the Locust II will be hard pressed to destroy it, and anything that
can destroy it will be hard pressed to catch it.
 
Variants:
Both the Davions and the Liaos have accquired examples of the Locust II. The
Suns through trade, the Capellans through salvage, and both have begun testing
of their own variations of the design.
 
Under the supervision of NAIS the Davion's model sacrifices the MASC, EW suite
and some armor for a targeting computer and an upgrade on the LB-2Xs to Rotary
model autocannons. Transforming the scout into a dedicated sniper.
 
The Capellans replace the LB-Xs with a pair of standard AC/2s and outfits the
mech with Stealth Armor, essentially supercharging its scout potential.

Manufacturer: Mobile Weapon Systems, Inc.
Location: New Valencia
Communications System: Achernar Standard
Targeting & Tracking System: Iron Sights w/ VibraSensor

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
After an unpleasant surprise dealing with the recovered Star League technology
given to House Kurita by ComStar in the 3039 War, the Armed Forces of the
Federated Commonwealth felt tremendous pressure to field as much recovered
technology as possible before the next outbreak of war. This led to a number
of upgraded BattleMech designs being approved for production. Conventional
forces, however, remained a weak link, and it was into this gap that Mobile
Weapon Systems, Inc. offered to plug its first original design.

==Capabilities:==
MWS, Inc. was originally a manufacturing subsidiary of Johnston Industries
that specialized in producing armored vehicle chassis and weapon traverse
actuators. Noting that scarcely a single ground vehicle design had benefited
from the discovery of the Helm Memory Core a decade earlier, MWS' chief
engineer began a paper study of an advanced but inexpensive support vehicle.
The paper came to the attention of AFFC High Command, where it found
enthusiastic support.
The Hotchkiss Mobile Support Gun was thus conceived as the cheapest means
possible of mobilizing the powerful new Poland Main Model A Gauss rifle.
Costing barely 50% more than the market price of the weapon itself, the
Hotchkiss is a study in economy. A cheap GM Superload Diesel engine and
off-the-shelf components keep costs low, while a simplified design and wheeled
drive minimize training time required for recruits. A simple one-week training
course is considered adequate for the two-man crew.
The Gauss rifle is fired over iron sights, with range calibrated sighting
rings for the gunner to avoid the need for a fire-control computer, while
sensor capability is restricted to a VibraSensor designed to detect
approaching BattleMechs. Six tons of Durallex armor provide enough protection
to survive return fire during an ambush.

==Variants:==
Although Gauss rifle ammunition is produced easily enough, and is already
available in quantity, the weapons themselves have experienced production
delays, with new and refitted BattleMechs first in line to receive the rifles
when they are available.
As a result, Hotchkiss production has been slower than anticipated, and Mobile
Weapons Systems, Inc. reacted by fitting many chassis with surplus
autocannons, leftover from the Enforcer upgrade program. To make up for the
loss in range and firepower, these Hotchkisses have been supplied with extra
"bolt-on" armor panels.

==Deployment==
Hotchkiss Mobile Support Guns are mainly distributed to militia units. Since a
company of guns can be put in place for the cost of a medium BattleMech, the
Hotchkiss was seen as a way to beef up frontier defenses while shifting 'Mech
assets to line units.
The preferred method of employment is to place lance-sized groups of
Hotchkisses in ambush positions at natural choke points, where the gun's poor
mobility is less of a disadvantage. Ideally, the gun battery opens fire at
less than 200 meters, giving the enemy little time to react before dozens of
Gauss slugs cut them to ribbons.

Overview:
In the late 2020's it was decided to try and come up with an alternative to the
Raven. Aftre looking at the amount of equipment to be carried it was realised
that in order to improve armour and weapons it would be necessary to go up a
class to a medium mech. With 7 tons of armour it has almost twice the
protection of the Raven. The recently re-discoverd extended range Large laser
gave it some long range punch, while the 4 Medium Lasers gave it close range
protection.Most of the heat produced being handled by doule heat sinks

The TAG and Narc systems mean that it can act as a spotter and targetter for
fire support, while the AMS gives it some protection for itself against missile
fire. It also has a better turn of speed than many mechs of it's class,
although wight constraints mean that jump jets could not be fitted. Only just
entering production it is too early to say wether the compromises are effective
or not.

[Captain Fabulous]

I modded a Flashman to have only one heat sink because it was funny. Does that count for anything?

Edited by Captain Fabulous, 13 November 2011 - 09:05 AM.

[Captain Fabulous]

Took a Jenner D, stripped all the weapons off, took out the jump jets, upped the engine to an XL, gave it double heat sinks, and it carries two PPCs and two small lasers on its arms (they flip!), and a third small laser on its head. Beware my Jenner of doom.
