Stardrive 2 ground combat too hard update#

They created the components and building blocks, it's up to us to find a use for them.

This game was created by creative people, for imaginative players. After reading about the Grey Death Legion, and the TROs with personel equipment and infantry gear, it was easy to scratch build with exoskeletons, eviromental suits, and jump packs.Īfter all these years it surprises me a little how few others saw the same opportunities to do the same things in their own games.

The Locust mech already had a reputation for being the smallest in armed service.Įven the Battle Armor concept was already old before the Clans invaded, starting with Heinlein's Starship Troopers. I know this game is pretty much dead, but I liked the ground combat is there a mod or something that will give me back ground combat I have sector zero and disabling that didnt help. Most of the weight saved in the design comes from using a lighter engine and Gyro. The point is, it's still a mech that can be crushed if it takes more damage than it's armor can stop in one shot.

Without using Clan Tech (this was still before the 20 year update was published), a 12 ton Locust would perform at least as well as the Canon version does at 20 tons, though the Armor might be a little thinner in some spots. Some of the reasons I did not press further back then was that I could not claim my work was 'original' as it was based mostly on modifications of pre-published work that was soon to be known as the 'Unseen'. It's not too difficult to extrapolate (that's a Math term) the necessary structure points from the existing tables. I was designing Ultralight mechs twenty years ago using the construction rules that existed then. Ultralight 'Mechs should not be confused with ProtoMechs.Įdit: There is a canonical 15-ton SecurityMech called Guard mentioned in TRO:VA ( Copper entry), but so far we don't have any stats or record sheets for it it's not even stated if this is a BattleMech or an IndustrialMech. apocryphal as well now) StarDrive was not a FASA magazine anymore afaik (StarDrive after their falling-out with FASA, only 1 issue produced but that one had several ultralight 'Mech designs). The BattleTechnology and StarDate magazines, both of which published a number of ultralight BattleMech designs, used to be canonical but aren't anymore (i.e. The FASA-published Roadrunner from the 1993 Update Flyer (a promotional flyer) was officially declared apocryphal by Herb. There are no canonical ultralight BattleMechs at this time. (The earliest rules had the diagram start at 10 tons not 100% sure about the current status quo here.) I think they were considered altogether illegal for some time because the internal structure diagram in the construction rules started at 20 tons until recently.

They're 'Mechs just like any others, only smaller (10 and 15 tons), and follow exactly the same rules.
