Marauder variants?

[g0jira]

Hi,

What marauder variant did we get? I know about 3R, what other variants?

Regards

In the Data >> Mech folder I see...

3R, BH and CM variants.

I bet those latter two are special character ones for Flashpoints. (Like BH = Bounty Hunter?)

Probably as there is no BH and CM variant. Shame rhatvwe have only most common variant for marauder. Im waiting for mods

Also i wonder what setup BH and CM have. Maybe one of them is 9M? So 2xSRM instead of balistic :)

not sure.

But the most common varaiants (aka liao and free world's variants are easy to reproduce on the 3R as the hardpoints don't change)

True, but i wish that BH and CM are different variants, so it will help moders to use both as base for new variants

Well mech designer doesn't show the load outs properly since the dlc weapons are not included yet..

But they both add an extra support hardpoint to the arms.

CM I can see all but the autocannon/5 on it.. and it's 9 tons from max weight so I'm thinking ultra. But both have double heat sinks and a heat bank, + hit defense gyro and er small lasers vs the mediums.

From the partial loadout of the bm variant it's definitely a ultra ac/5 and I'm guessing snub ppcs from the fact they don't show up and the weight values work

The MAD-BH comes with 4 Energy and 4 AntiPersonal Hardpoints (HP) in the Arms and 3 Ballistic HP in the Right Torso. Weapon wise it's fitted with 2 ER S Laser + + (+10 Dmg), 2 Snub PPCs + + (-10 Heat) and an UAC/5 + + (-2 Recoil/-2 tons), 3 tons of Ammo, a Heat Bank ++. 5 Single HS and a Gyro + + (3 Hit Defence).

The MAD-CM is almost a copy but replaces the Snub PPCs with standard PPCs, the UAC/5 is also non-+ and it removes 2 tons of Ammo and a HS.

As HBS stated in one of the pre-release streams they expect modders to add more variants - quite a lame excuse for a DLC that costs 20 bucks.

During the various discussions HBS said that they considered some other variants, but because you could build some of them with the existing hardpoints on the 3R there wasn't much point as they weren't actually different other than the stock loadout.

The Marauder And Warhammer were FREE with 1.8

I wonder, if i add missiles hardpoints to left and right torso... Will they be visible on marauder?

[Thndslz]

@g0jira Yes it will show on the model.

[g0jira]

Ohh cool :) Variant 9M here i come :p

The sense of entitlement displayed by so many Battletech community members astounds me. I suppose a squeaky wheel gets attention.

Really? You seriously going down that route. Cmon man you are better than that. The new Ballistics are just a copy of their normal counterparts. Like i said on another topic, the LBX 5 got the same bonuses AND penalties as the AC5. You cant use the Shotty version of the AC5 point blank without getting a accuracy penalty. Stupid i know. UAC5 never jam, case is ive been firing my 2UAC5 on my MAD3R for 10 missions now and i never saw those things jam, actually i dont think it will ever jam. Modders did those 2 weapon classes right for quite some time, HBS were working with modders to bring 1.8 and mod support and yet just forgot they existed when they implemented those Beatiful works of BattleTech art. Still cant stand on what they did to my lovely Snub Nose tho, HERESY!

While i agree that some of the hate is misguided, the other half is well deserved.

You are right I suppose. I just seem to only notice the 'I can't play so give me more mechs - what you can't - o crappy game" or "the where's my Mad Cat and it's testubers' If they had bothered to put every IS mech from the 3025 TRO -(even if they could or wanted too) they'd whinge abut the price or how long it took to release.

I suppose the heresy items/concepts sound good in the TT version but may not so well in a modern computer game - maybe like how a movie screen play is not like the original novel?
