That and they need to stop being so arbitrary in how large they make the miniatures from now on, to me it makes the product look bad and makes the company s look like they don't know what they're doing with their own minis line. Some conformity here folks, please. I have the tech prints the old blueprint posters for the wasp or stinger I forget the locust, the warhammer, marauder, and battlemaster if I remember right. I also have the tech prints for the vulture, loki, thor and madcat the madcat is just a hair under 12 meters tall from the bottom of its feet, to the top of the missile pods, or exactly 12meters tall it you measure to the top of the little protrusions on the top of the missile pods.
Quote from: guardiandashi on 29 September , Quote from: RedMarauder on 29 September , It sounds like a lot of 'mechs have very low densities, almost floating in water densities.

For nearly a day and a half we were an island of resistance in a sea of Falcon Green.
DarthRads Captain Posts: Trust me I'm the Doctor Quote from: evilauthor on 29 September , BirdofPrey Major Posts: Quote from: cray on 29 September , The musculature of the 'Mechs consists of myomer , an artificial polymer fiber which contracts in the presence of an electrical current.
The artificial skeleton and musculature, combined with a large gyroscope system , provides stability for the BattleMech and allows for bipedal movement.
Some 'Mechs have jump jets that provide thrust bursts for short leaps. BattleMechs are controlled by pilots known as MechWarriors. Seated in the cockpit of their 'Mech, MechWarriors connect to their machine by wearing a neurohelmet , which reads their brainwaves in order to provide the 'Mech a sense of balance and other necessary functions.
Through the combination of a neurohelmet and physical controls, the pilot can control the 'Mech, making it run, jump, and even do handstands under the right circumstances.
Assisting the pilot is the Diagnostic Interpretation Computer , which among other functions takes information gathered by the Sensors and other systems and presents it to the pilot in an understandable format. The power required for the motive systems, computers, and other systems is provided by a Fusion Engine mounted in the torso. Although all 'Mechs have heat sinks , heat buildup is a frequent problem. Intense combat action can lead to overheating that puts physical strain on the pilot, and may even cause an emergency reactor shutdown.
BattleMechs carry weaponry which broadly falls under one of three categories. Ballistic weapons, such as Machine Guns , Autocannons and Gauss Rifles , produce little waste heat but require ammunition and have greater weight and space requirements. Energy weapons, such as Lasers , Particle Projection Cannons and Flamers , require no ammunition and take up less space but produce tremendous waste heat.
Missile weapons, including Long Range Missiles and Short Range Missiles , produce less waste heat but require ammunition, with the benefit of using specialty warheads like Inferno or engaging in indirect fire. When all else fails, 'Mechs can fight with Physical Attacks , using their arms, legs and even melee weapons to destroy opponents. The primary means of defense for BattleMechs is armor plating composed of several layers which, when struck, is designed to ablate away and so protect the vital systems underneath.
Reverse joint chicken-walker bipedal 'Mechs are slightly less common on the field of battle, but include such famous 'Mechs as the Locust , Catapult , Marauder , and Timber Wolf Mad Cat. Digitigrade bipedal mechs that have hip, knee, ankle, and toe joints and walk on their toes are the rarest of the three. Examples include the Thanatos , Nova Cat , and Mongoose.
Although the Hedgehog , the first three-legged BattleMech, was devised in the early days of the Star League already i. It was not until the colossal Ares and superheavy Poseidon BattleMechs which appeared in the early s, followed by the heavy-class Triskelion in the s, that tripodal 'Mechs became more than an obscurity.
The Quad 'Mech uses its "arms" for legs which gives these designs some additional stability and maneuverability such as sidestepping, also known as lateral shift movement. The concept was much maligned for sacrificing the overall versatility of BattleMechs and the early designs, notably the Scorpion and the Goliath , proved flawed, being notoriously difficult to maintain and highly susceptible to breakdowns.
It was only around the year that improved technology led to new quadrupedal 'Mech designs, although the stigma associated with the general concept still lingers. Bipedal BattleMechs remain the vastly more common 'Mech. While performing just like a conventional BattleMech or Aerospace Fighter in the respective form to the point of being kept in either 'Mech bays or fighter hangars aboard DropShips , in LAM Mode these 'Mechs can quickly traverse great distances, giving them a tactical advantage in ground combat although their real niche apparently is reconnaissance.
However, their delicate technology is unduly susceptible to damage and the combat performance of Land-Air 'Mechs fell short of expectations by a long margin, especially considering their exorbitant production and maintenance costs. Land-Air 'Mechs were only produced in small numbers and the ability to maintain and repair or even produce them was largely lost early on in the Succession Wars.
The concept quickly faded into obscurity from a combination of small numbers, maintenance shortfalls and combat attrition. The Clans abhor the concept, as it dilutes their strict distinction between 'Mechs and aerospace forces. What is the meaning of inner sphere? What is inner sphere mechanism? What are inner and outer sphere complexes? What is outer-sphere complex? What is the difference between ligands and inner sphere of the complex compound? Also yeah, the scale is mad skewed here.
