Akarian Euclid:
What rules are being used for LAMs, for instance in aero mode are they actually using aerotech rules and are able to operate on low/high atmosphere, and using wige movement rules for AirMech mode?
Also is there a link to the wasp/stinger LAM available for purchase if taking the LAM archetype, any options for the Valkyrie version?
LAMs are limited in what they can do.
Mech Mode is Mech mode.
LAM Mode is treated much like a VTOL, with the exception that when landed they actually have some movement.
Aero mode, is limited to space deployments. They dont have to combat drop, they fly down to the mission map, and never scatter, nor do they have to make a combat landing. If you've played mission drops you know this is no small advantage to not have to worry about. Beyond that, they're mostly used for travel and fluff. Not here to play Aero Tech, in fact i've gone to great pains to phase them out in active play and they exist mostly as fluff and use in the inner sphere where the cost of Aero operations can be sustained easier. (stuff like fuel and the like to maintain Aero mode always made me wonder, since no weight is allocated to actual fuel)
LAMs do not carry bombs, ever.
LAMs do not get modified, unless the character has Tinker.
LAMs component/equipment cost are 175% normal.
LAMs are a toy for heavy roleplaying, because on the map, they're mediocre.
