After the 1976 word monolith of the last post, here are a few of the almost 60 mechs I've designed for the Lorica add-on. Remember that these mechs use the Andras system, a 2e-inspired clone. That means group initiative, weapon speeds, etc. Unfortunately, copying from a spreadsheet required me to cut off the weapons speeds. Feel free to modify and use as you see fit.
Name | Loanza | |||
Engine | 1300 | MASS | 143 | tons |
Hp | 720 | |||
AC | 3 | AAC | 16 | |
MV | 8 | |||
COST | 1,003,300 | |||
Weapons | Range | Power | Mass | Damage |
Form III | 20 | 10 | 4 | 8+1d8 |
125mm | 15 | 6 | 47 | 28+1d12 |
SR(12) | 6 | 2 | 15 | 1d12 x 6 |
Hp stands for Hull points. 1 Hull point is 12 hit points. Damage is given in Hull points as well. Form III is a laser, 125mm is a slug thrower and the Short Range missiles fire in bursts of 12 mini-missiles. Before you think the Hull points are high, compare the firepower between this light mech and a different medium mech:
Name | Centus | |||
Engine | 1600 | MASS | 234 | tons |
HP | 1080 | |||
AC | 1 | AAC | 18 | |
MV | 6 | |||
COST | 1,277,800 | |||
Weapons | Range | Power | Mass | Damage |
Form VII | 20 | 21 | 8 | 24+1d8 |
100mm RG | 10 | 1 | 23 | 18+1d6 |
LR(16) | 10 | 3 | 26 | 2d8 x 4 |
LR(16) | 10 | 3 | 26 | 2d8 x 4 |
SR(12) | 6 | 2 | 15 | 1d12 x 6 |
SAMD-5 | 0 | 21 | 20 | 84 |
Again, Form VII is a laser. The 100mm RG is a railgun. LR is long range missiles as opposed to SR for short range. SAMD is the Sandcater Anti-Missile Defense system. It functions like damage resistance to attacks from missiles.
Still, you may say, this seems like an unstoppable juggernaut. I don't have the assault mechs designed yet, but here is the upper end of a medium mech. May I present the Onager:
Name | Onager | |||
Engine | 1600 | MASS | 354 | tons |
HP | 1080 | |||
AC | 0 | AAC | 19 | |
MV | 4 | |||
COST | 1,795,300 | |||
Weapons | Range | Power | Mass | Damage |
Form IV | 20 | 12 | 5 | 12+1d8 |
275mm | 10 | 18 | 135 | 96+1d12 |
LR(10) | 10 | 2 | 16 | 1d10 x 4 |
LR(10) | 10 | 2 | 16 | 1d10 x 4 |
SR(20) | 6 | 3 | 25 | 1d20 x 6 |
SR(20) | 6 | 3 | 25 | 1d20 x 6 |
SAMD-4 | 0 | 16 | 16 | 60 |
In case you're wondering, yes, there are bigger lasers available. There are also a few slug throwers with a higher caliber, but not many.
The last note I'll make is that these could just as easily be hovertanks, ground tanks or any other kind of armored vehicle. I didn't list the ones that carry infantry, engineering equipment, etc.
More later...
