Battletech open source project
Battletech open source project
I'm working on a battle tech project i'd like your guy's help on!
For battle tech, i'm putting together a easy to understand and straight forward guide to building a mech for battle tech including all the stats for the compents and weapons and thier costs. Here's a little sample of what i'm talking about:
Energy Weapons
Damage Heat Slots Tonnage Cost
Small Laser 3 2 1 0.5 tons 22,000
Medium Laser 5 4 1 1 tons 80,000
Large Laser 9 7 2 5 tons
ER Large Laser 9 10 2 5 tons
Small Pulse Laser 3 3 1 1 tons
Medium Pulse Laser 6 5 1 2 tons
Large Pulse Laser 10 9 2 7 tons
PPC 10 9 3 7 tons
ER PPC 10 13 3 7 tons
Flamer 2 1 1 tons
Note: Copy/pasting from Word didn't format it correclty but it's not to important.
As you can see, its a simple format quick reference quide for when you are building your own mech with out the high cost or complicated and arcaic text of the books, though it will lack tons of the content to keep it simple.
What I need from you guys is help catagorizing the many, many thing in Battle tech there are to write all the stats for. I'm starting off with just listing all the things that can be found in MWO as that makes for the perfect amount of starter gear to build mechs and geta feel for customization. There are things that will be ommited (upgrades and modgules, tags and narc) and other things I have to figure out like add more or striping away armor. But for now the two things that are the biggest obstical is engines and how many heat sinks come stock and how many squares you are able to move (walk and run) as that takes alot of time do do the math for each. The other is ammo and how many shots you get per ton.
Get typing my friends :)
