Although Jazz in a Axman or Dragon... yeah that's not scary at all :blink:

Needs moar missiles!

Also I saw this and just though "Haterz gonna hate!"
More missile spam you say?

Why sure.

How about a Yeoman? 2x LRM-15s plus 2x LRM-10s backed by 4 and 2 tons of ammo respectively? Of course once the ammo bins run dry you're kinda vulnerable...

You know, I still say an MML-9 plus Artemis is a more fearsome weapon. You have a highly accurate weapon that can fire missiles pretty damn accurately across a very wide envelope. Combine that with alternative warhead types like Inferno or Tandem-Charge and suddenly you have a weapon system that is not only highly accurate but ridiculously hard to counter, especially in a chaotic battle situation.

Still can't decide if that or the iNARC is the most flexible missile type inner sphere weapon. Granted the ATM might be the most flexable and deadly missile weapon in the entire Battletech franchise, but still.

I wish I had ATM's in MWO. Then maybe my catapult would see the light of way more often. Oh well, maybe when they do the time skip hmm?

I doubt they're going to skip...

Or let's put it this way, they better not goddamn skip before they include the Orion at least, otherwise I am going to have words...

I can just imagine the discussion which resulted in this design:

"Make me an LRM-50 with legs!"

"But there's no such thing as an LRM-50, sir - there's not even an LRM-25!"

"I have money; make me an LRM-50 with legs!"

On another note, if Jaz ever gets killed and I have to create a new character, I think I'll give them a TR2 Wraith. I think I must have a thing for 'mechs that can pick the enemy off from range and then bounce away on jumpjets, laughing as they try to counterattack.

Oh no, the mech that wins the award for most insane design has to go to the Uziel
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Uziel

I mean look at the spec sheets. One variant sports a large pulse laser and an LBX-2, another sports twin PPCs and an SRM-6, while the third just shoves even more SRM-6 ammo in and "makes do" with 4 medium pulse lasers, all while sporting anywhere from 6-8 jump jets. And here's the insane part, it's a medium mech clocking in at 50 tons!

Hey sorry guys had no internet access, I was kidnapped for the week and was so keen on going along with the kidnapping I forgot things like my phone and such... I'm back now and I'll be updating the IC stuff.

Kidnapped...riiiight... just admit it, you were "captured" and forced to be the object of desire at a secret underground den of Canopian desire.
It's completely understandable. Things can get pretty....tangled in those affairs... (you did put a good word in for me didn't you?)

They wanted some sensitive information but I didn't divulge any no matter what kind of 'torture' they put me through - and they got pretty nasty! Some of it involved Eddie Izzard and they even resorted to dinner with the parents, but I persevered.

Oh god that torture. How the hell did you make it through?

That's almost bad as the "trials" that I had to endure after being suckered into some sort of demonstration by Warrior House Ijori. I'll never look at comfy pillows the same way ever again.

It depends, because the reports concerning the Magistry are conflicting, well at least the ones Ive read.

I know the leadership is almost exclusively female, but beyond that sources cite Canopius as either Amazonia where women rule and dominate all and men are comically in the same position that women are currently, or that it's Ladyland, where women rule by dejure but men are mostly equals, it's just that female rule is "a thing", and why monkey with it?

Well of course...actually not anymore, I think the last time he did stand-up he did it without even a hit of mascara and in...gasp... boy's shoes :blink:

Hey that reminds me of a joke! So a Drac, a Sun, and a Comstar acolyte walk into a bar...

Maybe you were thinking of the one that goes:
A Sun and a Comguard are in a bar discussing battle tactics when a Drac approaches them and says "What are you two doing?"
The Sun replied "We are planning a fifth sucession war, this time we want to kill 8 million Combiners and a clown."
"Why do you want to kill a clown?" The Drac asks.
The Comgaurd sighs and hands the Sun 100 Cbills "Ok you were right nobody cares about the Draconis Combine."

A Sun is from the Federated Suns, a the Drac is from the Draconis Combine (which is what makes the punchline so good) and the Comguard is a soldier from Comstar. The Federated Suns and Draconis Combine HATE each other.
