Battle Mech game

[Hobbit XIII]

I am going to write a small program for Battle Mechs (things people sit in like giant robots ) and we will see who survives.

All you will see is a result and maybe a request of something your mech might be doing.

Information I need from you :

Size of mech smaller = faster. Larger = bigger weapons more armor.
Small
Medium
Large

Weapons
balanced that is missiles and machine guns / fast firing weapons lazers etc.
or soley fast firing
soley missiles
or big slow firing lazer
You can have license on kind of weapon just keep it simplified

Weapon to armor ratio
ie balanced or more weapons or more armor

What is your pilot good at?
Evasion
Targetting
Getting more out of your armor
Getting more out of your weapons
pick one.

Additonal note :
You can have 4 weapons on each.
If you pick large you can have 6 at the cost of being easier to target against you.
If you want 4 you will get a penalty on evasion but not as much as if you picked 6.

You can add any notes of your own you would like to be added into the equations.
If they can be fitted in easily I'll add them.

This is not complex its just a bit of blasting fun.

And Name your Mech.

My Mech

Name : Winchester Peacemaker MK X
Size : Medium
Weapons : 2 Missile launchers 1 lazer 1 ballistic machine gun
Pilot : Targetting

[Morkonan]

Name : Timberwolf Omnimech

Size : Large (But at the lower-end of tonnage for speed)

Weapons : Pryde configuration (2xLRM, 2 ER L Laser, 2 ERSR Laser, 4 Jump Jets)

Pilot : Getting more out of your armor (Tanking and Spanking)


Faction: Clan Wolf, "No Freebirths are allowed, Aff?"

Weapon to armor ratio: It's Clanner OmniTech. That means "yes, there is a ratio." The Timberwolf is the most well-crafted machine ever built by man as long as you have spare parts available. It is optimized for firepower, speed for size, and durability, in that order. Its ease of config means that an Omnimech can be what the pilot needs it to be, which is always better than Freebirth Inner Sphere garbage... :)



Equations: Points/hardpoints based, standard Battletech P&P rules. (My refs are in my collection, in storage, being guarded by a Star of Elementals, or I'd check them for tables. I'm sure there are plenty online. I wrote a bunch, but it's all a combo of X3:TC OoS calcs and what I can remember of Battletech pen/paper gaming.)


Just a thought:

If you're familiar with X3:Terran Conflict, there are what are called "OoS" and "IS" combat mechancis. Out of Sector are unobserved combats between ships that are just pure calculations. In Sector combat involves what the player can directly experience in the Sector they are in. But, those OoS calcs and variable categories are delightfully simple, yet yield very effective results if the player builds their ships appropriately. A quick Google should get you to some threads detailing Egosoft's OoS formulae. They're very efficient.)

PS: There are surely P&P Battletech charts/rules online to craft from.

My pride and joy (in the Battletech universe):

Name: Annoying Bastard
Size: Locust chassis (25t)
Power: Omni 175 (7/11 MP)
Weapons: PPC (RT)
Armor:
Head - 6
R/L Torso - 5/2
C Torso - 9/3
Arms - 2
Legs - 9
10 Single Heat Sinks

There's an advanced version with endo-steel and ferro-fibrous armor, but the old school is the best school.

That is more information than I was expecting but will accommodate in a simple way at this stage.

People the window of opportunity to post is still open to enter.

and "Annnoying Bastard" I can imagine an enemy shouting into his comms "Annoying Bastard at 9 o clock!"

+'received, but what is its reference we need an accurate reference to look up the intel'+

"I said Annoying Bastard"

+'there is no need to get rude sir, we just need its reference....' +

Anything that isn't 99% heat sinks with a pea shooter for armament squeezed into the remaining 1% won't work.

Some Archer variants disagree...

Taking the opportunity to post a link to Black Pants Legion. If anyone is a fan of Battletech and hasn't watched some of his outstanding history or in-depth vids, well... buckle up, 'cause Tex does an outstanding job with extremely high production value.

There's.. hours and hours of stuff, there.

(And, a bump to help out the thread)
