Multi-Trac```A trio of prototype tripods with different weapons on the same chassis

Nice
jovial vessel
Is this intended for some kinda custom bombast ?
I don't see a point in using them in a clantech design
vital blaze
Except for the bombast laser one those look good. (Bombast makes me angry because I want it to be good but it's just so objectively worse than literally every other option)
willow stratus
The point of these designs is that they are meant to be basically an experimental chassis with experimental weapons thrown on
vital blaze
Yea
willow stratus
so the Bombast is there because the designers also desperately want it to be good
jovial vessel
Clan enhanced bombard when 😔
Remove the to-hit penalty, make them work like PPC capacitors and every turn not fired adds +5 damage to a basis of 10
boom
fixed
willow stratus
Which of the three loadouts do you think would be the most effective?
vital blaze
The atm one
Followed closely by the hag/PR one
The atm one would particularly benefit greatly from being in a c3 lance btw, since you're already using experimental/fancy tech
jovial vessel
Tbf the bombast one is the cheapest
vital blaze
C3 + ATM's is insanely good and fun to use
jovial vessel
but it's also so expensive it's kinda premium mech anyways, and having a bombast on a premium mech feels bad
willow stratus
24 ATM tubes alone is impressive
jovial vessel
100%

The point of these designs is that they are meant to be basically an experimenta...
If you wanted to experiment with the upper half of a mech, slapping it on a tripod would be an excellent way to keep the thing from falling over while you work out other kinks.
ATM + rockets is bizarre.
willow stratus
ATM + rockets is bizarre.
I had a half ton of weight to do something with and I decided to fit the missile spam theme by combining the most advanced missiles with the least advanced

I had a half ton of weight to do something with and I decided to fit the missile...
This is what results from a half-dozen now very tired designers stuck at the end of an 8-hour whiteboard brainstorming session.
vital blaze
I'm a fan of adding a clan Light Active Probe whenever I have a free half ton
willow stratus
It was like 2 AM for me so the tired part fits. Couldn’t be bothered to find something else to stick on
