What is a Naval PPC, some freakishly powerful cannon? Also, how many ballistic slots does the Cauldron-Born have, I would love to mount a heavy gauss, ;D ;D ;D, everything else into other weapons, armor, ammo, and mods, ;D

[Captain Benjamin Maxwell]

Gunman, I believe you designed the Chidori...can you advise on the ballsitics?

A Naval PPC is designed to be mounted on spacecraft.

[Captain Adam "Gunman" Wolf]

I never thought this would be possible, but you can actually arm your Cauldron Born with a Heavy Gauss Rifle.

Here's the loadout :

1 Heavy Gauss Rilfe (LT) 2 tons ammo(RT)[8 rounds]
1 Clan LRM-10 (LA) 2 tons ammo (LA)[24 rounds - 240 missiles]
1 CSTRK-4 (RT) 1 ton ammo (RT)[25 rounds - 100 missiles]
2 ER MLasers (RA)
Triple Strength Myomer
Right Arm has a manipulator Hand as well

Absolutely no heat issues.

I wouldn't worry too much about keepign track of ammo, as long as you don't go overboard with it. I mean you can't just blow everything to smitherens with the Gauss rifle and just keep on trucking, lol.

[Captain Adam "Gunman" Wolf]

4 ER MLasers are MINE! lol

STRK SRM launcer - MINE! (CSTRK SRM-6)

That's all I want for now, lol

[Captain Benjamin Maxwell]

Holy cow...the recoil alone would knock the Cauldron Born on its ass...OUCH!

[Star Captain Killian Bekker]

*** Incoming data feed. ***

Capt. Maxwell, this is Commander Dillenger. I'd like to request the following from your salvage:
1 Clan LBX-AC10
1 Naval PPC
1 THNDRBLT Missile

In exchange, we've aquired some equipment you might be interested in. We'd exchange the previous salvage for:

2 Cockpit Sets (Life Support/etc)
1 C3 Computer
1 NARC
1 Shadowcat (To explain Zhukov's mech he acquired)
1 AC/20

If that's acceptable, go ahead and make the transfer on our transport. BTW, I'm transmitting some data to you via secure lines.

Dillenger out.

Lol, in your PM Maxwell. I sent one to you as well Gunman.

[Captain Benjamin Maxwell]

If no one minds, I'd like to use that Black Hawk as a secondary mech. Assault mechs are only good at blasting the hell out of things. I'd like a well-balanced medium Mech to tool around in.

Black Hawk {Venom}
[medium] 2 erPPCs, 4 Medium lasers, 2 STRKSRM 6s, Firewall AMS, Gaurdian ECM, JJs

[Captain Adam "Gunman" Wolf]

That's fine with me Desparado, I can understand how your 100 ton beast can be a bit cumbersome at times, lol.

And yeah that Cauldron Born would have to really brace itself to fire that baby, let's just say that aimed at the ground while running backwards, turns the Heavy Gauss into about a 10m - 20m Jump Jet, lol.
That's why I put it in the side toros (aside from the fact it wont fit anywhere else...) if it was in an arm, it would tear the living hell out of the thing, probably rip the arm off and spin the torso over 90 degress around (and its got a very limited torso twist to begin with..... well not any more, lol)

[Lieutenant Victor Eisenfaust]

Just a bit of a CBTer's standpoint for you all here...in CBT, Heavy Gauss Rifles can ONLY be mounted in right or left torso locations on mechs. Furthermore, unless you come to a complete stop before firing and brace, you must make a piloting skill roll. The modifiers to the piloting skill roll are based on the class of mech, as follows:

Light: +2
Medium: +1
Heavy: +0
Assault: -1

Where the pluses are bad for your roll, and the minuses good.

So from a CBT standpoint, Chidori firing the HGR unbraced would have to make a fairly easy piloting skill roll each turn. There is always the chance of failure however (which increases with the damage your legs and gyro take), and if you fail, the mech falls, and falls down hard.

[MechWarrior Jak S Wildmen]

woah.. all pretty new stuff to me, i have never played cbt( if its something u play), only played the pc game
so my knowledge is preeetty shallow=)

so how are the rules in outfitting a mech here??
I think i need the large er laser to replace the ppc i lost in op 1. is it possible?

[Captain Adam "Gunman" Wolf]

Yes I was using a CBT Fasa sanctioned 'mech designer so it only would let me put it in the Right or Left Torso anyways .

Provided that the MechWarrior had a good piloting skill, it wouldn't be any trouble to move and fire the weapon, but if it was a rookie pilot (not saying you are Corporal) then they would have difficulty.

Sargeant Jack, I wouldnt worry too much if all that is new to you, we do use either CBT or MW4's hardpoint style systems to outfit the 'mechs, but that is fairly easy and if you need help there are several of us willing to do so. (**Just a side note here, the CBT way is much more forgiving in many senses with weapon selection and location, although the MW4 hardpoint system, does sometimes allow for some loadouts that are impossible with CBT**)

You can have the Large ER Laser no problem, or the ER PPC is still available if you would prefer that instead, up to you.

[Holms Net]

Alright, for my Uziel, I'm gonna a PPC, but it seems we only have the erPPC, and it is possible the Seargant may want it, and I would want him to have it over me having it. So, I will give a loadout otherwise. Please, correct me if I defy rules to either game (and I'm sure SOMEONE will, lol. BTW, that's a good thing). Ok, since I never played either game, I will give it my best shot at being correct. Oh, i can't seem to find any references to an Uziel, so I'm guessing it only appeared in MA? Ya, I can't find it anywhere. So, I will wait for someone to respond and give me a link to an Uziel, before I EDIT this post with my loadout. Thanks.

[Captain Adam "Gunman" Wolf]

Follow these steps for Uziel information :

Go to www.chaosmarch.com
Click on 'Inner Sphere' under 'Technical Readouts' along the left side.
Select 'Mechs'
Go to '3067'
In the list that comes up, go under 'Medium' the 2nd and 3rd 'mech with '[50]' (their weight) in front of them are the 'Uziel UZL-2S' and 'Uziel UZL-3S'

That should be all the info you need to make your own design. Basically just read that, make up a design similar, and we'll let you know if its acceptable. Don't worry about the parts not being right in the Salvage list, we do have other parts, and parts can be bought.
