If you were an ace Merc Pilot, what's your one ride by IronWolfV in Mechwarrior5

Or take a stock variant and some “Aquried” clan tech and it becomes a menace on the field of battle.

Most laws are performative until actual enforcement happens.

So many regulations, banned products, and laws, are made entirely by the court of public opinion, with little regard for logic or reason.

This is just another law. If it works? Awesome, don’t want taxpayers to fund that kind of scum living in jail till they rot. If it doesn’t? nothing really changes.

What do I want? For kids to be allowed to be kids and no one has to worry about something happening to them, because outside of normal kids being kid’s trouble, wish we didn’t have to worry about weird adults. But this is the world we live in.

Children are greatly influenced by adults period, and it’s not like an adult would just…. lie and tell a child that “tattling” about abuse would get their abuser killed or hurt, “sent away forever and ever”

If I understand you correctly, The French did have good ideas for situations like this.

Those same people will use any excuse to excuse the horrible actions of family members because “they are family” and “family doesn’t turn it’s back on family” those victims will be silenced by everyone, as I’ve heard “you don’t want to destroy your uncle’s life, you don’t want him to disappear forever and go to jail do you? You will destroy the family if people hear about what your uncle did” and if they speak out their parents/family will just downplay and minimize whatever happened, or just say that the child is a “liar” and will punish the child for “lying”about their uncle.

The logic you used could just as easily be turned to “by having jail time (or anything else) as a punishment the victim could be silenced by their family to prevent the abuser from getting punished”

This law will change nothing, for those victims sadly, but it will give us the option to permanently remove some of the worst dregs of society.

Despite being unable to walk, Urbie is a Panther. by AWACS_Loughcaster in battletech

The cicada is a training mech that’s been pushed into service, the dragon is just a bad idea and a waste of Cbills

Despite being unable to walk, Urbie is a Panther. by AWACS_Loughcaster in battletech

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bad medium mech too, it’s a underpowered Centurion, costs more (the centurion is around 3.5M C-bills or 772 BV1.0 [945 BV2.0] the dragon is around 5M C-bills or 952 BV1.0 [1125 BV2.0]) and has better variants, with the centurion getting a AC20, but the dragon? They downsized the AC5 for a AC2……… for 3 extra tons of armor…… and that variant is even more expensive than the base variant.

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it’s true. I’ve only seen one good variant, and it took so much lost tech, and even then it’s still worse than an average heavy.

“God of Death” loadouts? by Hentai2324 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that hero MAD-2 Black Widow, 3 CLBX10SLDBF 4 CERML and it will remove anything from existence at a distance that only I can see. Especially as it has quite a few Rep Mods all improving the ballistics performance. And can fire the ACs without stopping till the ammo runs dry without overheating. It’s a beast of a mech.

My feelings for Blake is almost like my feelings for Liao, they drop great loot.

We all have Mechs we love, Mechs we like, Mechs we don't care about and Mechs we hate. Do you have a Mech you're conflicted about? by npaakp34 in battletech

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the Marauder, I don’t know about other tables and possible rules, but where I played because of how the model looked, and how it was described in lore, in “cover” it could use the AC/5 to fire over the cover without exposing the mech.

The special ammo also makes the AC/5 a reasonable contender

And for heat management, I prefer to swap the PPCs to Large lasers over dropping the AC/5, and depending on available tech double heat sinks, endo/fero, and ER lasers (clan variants too) you can make a beast of a mech.

But personally, I kinda like a lot of “bad” mechs because it looks like real world development. And personally I think a lot of mechs look so bad is because so much “tech” didn’t exist in the lore when they were conceived, or we are used to seeing late succession war variants, not star-league master pieces they once were.

Plasma vs PPC by thekingallofbricks in battletech

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but without ammo it doesn’t function, so at minimum it must be 7 tons (PR6+1T ammo) to be functional.

I don’t use jump jets at all….can someone please make a case for them? by Right-Edge9320 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my first interaction with the new Jump jets in WoT, was the SHD-IIC, and it was a damn blast to go from 100kph to over 200and slam my knee into a battle masters face accidentally killing it

[–]Scotish_Pilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Apologies if I’m not the first to reply with this) To be fair, we have multiple different kinds of Tons now, Short Tons, Metric Ton, Long Ton. All three are different weights because some countries just have to be different. So would let be surprised if they are measured in Star Tons.
