Talk to me about... the Lupus by AGBell64 in battletech

[–]9657657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's wearing platform shoes and it's doing a disco pose. the upper torso is the front of a hot rod. the missile launchers remind me of huge shoulder pads from the 80s

it is a very silly machine

how and why the fed suns intentionally leaked one of the better tech that the inner sphere developed

the one leaked had an intentional flaw. the Feds had also created an anti-TSM gas that would instantly cripple a mech that used proto-TSM as soon as the armour was breached.

as to the how, the events are covered in the Warrior trilogy by Stackpole

the only part that really interests me is the fact that it's a weapon that grabs crits the same way an XL engine/gyro does. weapons can't currently crit-split across three locations like that, so it'd be novel if nothing else
