Yeah, know the feeling that's why i'm selling.  The 7.5 Tons of Ferro bought in bulk,is actually enough to Armor up a 35 ton mech though it take 6.5 ~7.0 tons of the stuff to outfit a 35 ton mech properly.

I'm using Endo Steel, so i cant use it.

I was saving it for a second mech, which, is still a little bit off.  So better to sell it to someone that can use it, than hold it forever.  (If it's on your mech you dont have to 'store' it)

Though you do end up with a pile of standard armor lying around, but if youre in a unit you should have a ready market to unload those is the theory.

Ok, you are a good salesperson (Hassan has learned not to use man at the end of everything thanks to his classes).

I'll buy it.  7.5 tons @ 25K

Sold~ !

(hands over sales slip and points out the warehouse where to pick it up)

Lucius has Ferro too, incase you want to just have some in inventory.

Ask around and i'm sure you should be able to unload the std armor some where.

Re: OOC - 12/16

Currently did repair bay stuff for the Pussycats and Freelancers (They're the smallest groups and easiest to work through)

Completed...
Pussycats ~ Penny, David, and Teri
Freelancers ~ Adam


Incomplete and waiting for player (though contract xp and cb have been updated)
Pussycats ~ Michel
Freelancers ~ Big Jake, Quentin (availability Rolls) and Regina (Selling off her stuff)
Lancers ~ Akarian (availability Rolls)

(Quentin, you have to change your last name, i've already noted that you have to have a really good backstory and reason for me to approve the use of a character affiliated with the Big Houses, they wouldnt normally be working on a backwater periphery operation like the campaign is based on.)


Will be looking at the ironswords next, because they're ahead of the paperwork curve.

The Lancers are still working over the results of the loot they got from Mission 13.


Working on characters based on the availability rolls i see being thrown in the Dice roller, since you rolled it, you keep it is in effect.

Re: OOC - 12/16

Quentin, I have a Streak SRM4, if youre interested,not as quite the 5 youre looking for, but it may fit better than that SRM5, youre looking for.  It's 1crit, and will swap with a LRM5 or Medium Laser with much less work than the Streak S5, which will need 2 criticals.

Either way... if you pick up your Streak Laucher, and need ammo and dont want to waste the availability roll.
[Frowns...

 xmas bonus has killed the value of my Streak L6s...  May have to carry those unless someone wants to pick one up to hold in inventory in case they take battle damage and lose one.

Re: OOC - 12/16

UGH.

okay just decided to put up my Endo Steel too...

Its not going to be cheap though.

I have 1.5 tons of the stuff, and I'm letting it go for 100kcb for Half a ton.  (Fought through ugly auctions to get it, so i dont feel bad about charging these prices, sorry.)

I want to spread the sale of Endo steel around, though so i wont sell more than 1/2 a ton to any one person.

100k cb sounds steep, but if youre only 1/2 ton from getting it installed on your mech, it's probably going to look like a bargin.

Re: OOC - 12/16

I'll pay a 100k for another half ton of endo, just so I have actual repair pool of the stuff to some degree, *watches my bank empty as quick here as it was yesterday with furniture.*

Re: OOC - 12/16

When upgrading to endo steel, do we have to pay to remove the standard internals? At which point they would also become inventory?

Also can someone chime in exactly how repairs with the personal technician works? Is this in addition to personally made repairs or unit repair pools?

Yes, you need to pay to remove Internals, you need to pay to install Endo Steel.

I just went through this with my Raven.

For your mongoose.

10  kcb To remove  2.5 tons of Internals.  ( 4k per ton)
12.5kcb To install 1.25tons of Endo Steel  (10k per ton)


You end up with 2.5tons of Internals lying around.

Thanks Penny, now I just need to wrap my head around repairs exactly, and it seems likely adjust inventory limits some more.

I could probably use some internals for my storage being that I'm all new.   :)  How much do you want for it?

Re: OOC - 12/16

Right so I find myself with a few bits and pieces that I might be open to letting go if anyone is interested.

2x Light Medium Lasers - 85k each

2.5 tons standard internals - 20k per ton.
Medium Laser - 55k
2x Light Medium Lasers - 125k each
1x Availability roll for anything other than endo/ff armor is at +1 - 100k

Open to trades for any of the above as well, mostly interested in FF armor at this point.



Really Really hard to use Endo and Ferro together, especial with the Beta rules, that has each using 20 criticals.

Work out that you have enough criticals before you buy a pile of stuff you cant use...

Default Criticals would be...
Endo  ~> (6) Crits RT/LT and (4) Crits RA/LA
Ferro ~> (6) Crits RT/LT and (4) Crits RA/LA

That uses up all the RT/LT criticals and All the Arm Criticals on the Mongoose, and that's assuming you dont have equipment installed in the locations.

At most you have (7) Crits to work with, 1 H, 2 CT, 4 Legs.  The benefits really become suspect when you look at what you're coughing up.  You save 1/2 ton on the armor, but you're crippling your available critical.  A DS/HS might be better, since it saves you an entire ton, on Heat sinks, and only costs you (2) Crticials.

Just a thought on the number crunching ami...

Re: OOC - 12/16

Yeah I was looking at that as well, with both taking up 20 criticals it's pretty difficult.

Hmm are we allowed to remove engine heat sinks than for DS/HS? I can't find any reference to that at the moment.

Re: OOC - 12/16

Yes you may.

1/2 ton mod to move a heat sink, youre moving one from the engine onto the sheet where you can modify it into a DS/HS

pay the cost to remove a heat sink,

pay the cost to install a DS/HS.  It was mentioned in the thread somewhere when they were first introduced as available in the campaign.

Keep in mind youre allowed only one DS/HS in the RT, LT, RA, and LA, for a total of four DS/HS so you wont ever see a mech with more than 4 DS/HS.

a departure from the use of DS/HS to keep things game balanced.

A forty percent increase in heat sinks for no weight is pretty nifty.

A lot of DS/HS went out so... be happy, or be worried about what's coming, your call.

Re: OOC - 12/16

So does this also mean you could simply remove 2 heat sinks from the engine.as a 1 ton or 2 ton mod, and install a double externally, replacing the two removed heat sinks capacity wise, and also freeing up a ton of space to use else where?

You will always need a minimum of 10 heat sinks.  No shirking that :P

Re: OOC - 12/16

Lucius, I have a question for you.  Now, I am expecting the answer to this question to be no but a question can't be answered in a positive way if you never ask it!  So here goes...

Lucius, oh wise leader of the Ironswords :-D , I noticed that you have 2 tons of Beta Targeting Computer and I was wondering if you'd be so magnanimous as to trade me only a small 1/2 ton of it?  This mongoose would look so wonderful with some accurate fire from its er smalls!!
