Old 'Mechs: Hewn Wolf

So...battlemech:

               BattleMech Technical Readout

Type/Model:    Hewn Wolf HEWW-O-1IH
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3067

Mass:          75 tons
Chassis:       Endo Steel
Power Plant:   375 GM XL Fusion
Walking Speed: 54.0 km/h
Maximum Speed: 86.4 km/h
Jump Jets:     None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor Type:    231 pts Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:      26.5 tons of pod space

Based largely on the Timberwolf(duh), it suffers the exceptional critical-space restrictions of Inner Sphere equipment. The Hewn Wolf largely avoids imitating the Timberwolf in its weapons layout(which is how it escapes the designation of Mad Cat-O ). Only Configurations 4 and 5 take after Timberwolf loadouts(The Prime and D configs respectively), and then only marginally. The configurations overall usually require more high-weight, low-crit items, which gives an excuse to use weapons I often overlook like light ACs, Large Pulse Lasers, and the like. In addition, the .5 pod space gives me an excuse to use CASE, which I don't usually bother with when it comes to XL engines.

I know the Rakshasa does this(as well as a few hundred other home-brewed designs), but it's not an omni. There's a Config 6 that covers the Rakshasa, but it has to drop the Medium Pulse Laser for an ER Small Laser.


Config 1 - It kills things from rather far away.
Armament:     
  1 LRM 10 (12)
  1 ER Large Laser
  2 Autocannon/2s (45)
  1 Improved C³ CPU

Config 2 - Close up or far away, it's a bit of a pain.
Armament:     
  1 SRM 4 (25)        /Alt: 1 SRM 6(15)
  2 ER Medium Lasers  /Alt: 1 ER Medium Laser
  1 ER PPC
  1 Light Gauss Rifle (32)
  1 CASE

Config 3 - Close and mean. A large laser for 'range'.
Armament:
  1 Large Laser      /Alt: ER Large Laser

  1 Large Pulse Laser
  2 Streak SRM 6s (15)
  2 Medium Pulse Lasers
  1 CASE

Config 4 - It's sorta like a Timberwolf Prime
Armament:     
  2 LRM 15s (16)
  2 ER Large Lasers
  1 CASE

Config 5 - It's sorta like a Timberwolf D
Armament:     
  2 ER PPCs
  2 Streak SRM 6s (15)
  1 Medium Pulse Laser(R)
  1 CASE

I have never liked how HeavyMetalPro displays structure, actuator & armor locations. The heat column *is* nice though.

Mad Cat-O? So that's why there's never been a "Lion" Omnimech.

VanVelding said...

Wow. I forgot I ever used HeavyMetalPro.

SSW is just so great for stuff. I use it for everything on the blue moon that I make 'mechs.

After I print all of the house rules, I'm planning on reposting the custom 'mechs I have. Maybe I should remake all of them in SSW.

SkilTao said...

It makes sense to store them that way.

SSW's GUI is alright, but I still prefer plain ol' notepad.

VanVelding said...

...rewriting everything in notepad would be pointlessly, stupidly, epic.

VanVelding said...

I am definitely considering it.

SkilTao said...

Heh, can't imagine what the ROI'd be on that.
