Could do escalating difficulty like MASC rolls to prevent it being too op.

Maybe use it to avoid pilot damage? Just a random thought. The tougher you are the less likely you would be to take pilot hits, without making existing hits that do connect totally meaningless.

If it helps, I just grabbed SSW 0.7.4 and extracted it and the extracted folder is 28MB. If that's a worrying size, just go delete like five photos or one album of MP3s or clear your browser's cache and you'll be gold.

That's actually good to know. I figured it was probably small enough to be safe, I'm just down to under 10gb and I don't have any photos / MP3s to delete off this partition.

An external enclosure and spare HDD to make backups into (not an external hard drive; the BYO version) are incredibly useful and cheap investments. My first gut reaction is: This is something that should be available like, 1x-per-turn but only one person on the whole team gets to claim it. first come first serve, or who needs to get it the most, or some other limited resource.

How does "once per turn, during the shooting phase, each 'Mech designates an enemy unit that they're 'keeping an eye on'; if they make a successful Guts check, the targeted unit cannot gain or use ACE status" sound?

Broken, because ACE statuses affect the movement phase and would involve keeping track of floating information between turns which is never a good thing to have to do.

I think thematically, guts should let you do something brave/stupid. Maybe you can move recklessly, or get a bonus meleeing a larger-weight-class mech, or something.

- Must pass a guts test to avoid forced withdrawal (6 base + 0 armor breached + 7 critical damage + 5 pilot hits + 1 stood up = 19): automatic failure! I didn't think I'd ever generate a number that big, even though I knew it was possible. The maximum possible critical damage penalty would be: 4 engine hits + 3 gyro hits + 2 sensor hits + 1 life support offline + 2 actuator damage in both legs = 12 PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Dec 3, 2020 |

Wag the Dog 22 Standing without arms was something Clan warriors trained for. Many of their ‘Mechs lacked the hands that made standing up after a fall easier and a warrior couldn’t always afford to drive their barrels of their arm-mounted into the dirt. The need to engage the enemy at all times was ingrained in every aspect of Clan training, a warrior that couldn’t shoot was no warrior. Alikhandra Kerensky twisted the Tomahawk’s hips and spread the ‘Mech’s legs wide apart. Using the left leg as an anchor, she twisted her entire machine to get the bulk of its weight up on its right foot and torqued her machine back upright with an ease that belied her injury. Left gasping for breath at the sudden motion, the entire world outside the canopy seemed to sway back and forth as her damaged neurohelmet queried her brain for information and got nothing in reply. Even the simple act of standing up nearly pushed her crippled fusion reactor to its limits. Warnings flashed on her cockpit displays, and it took a dedicated effort to bypass the safety overrides again. They seemed to reset nearly as quickly as she disabled them. A cloud of dust rose a handful of meters in front of her as the Iron Hart landed. Alexa and Iskandar both took final parting shots and clambered aboard the waiting Broadsword. The crew hadn’t even engaged the landing struts—they’d take off again if she didn’t hurry. “drat you,” she muttered, unsure whether she was directing her curse at the enemy, her crippled ‘Mech, or Alexander Kerensky. “I will not die here.”    Movement Phase Amarok Prime #2 (Player) - Movement orders invalid: A unit in Forced Withdrawal may not voluntarily exit the extraction zone.

They always count as an active spotter for other VDNI pilots on the same network, and may spot for indirect fire without penalty. A pilot with any form of VDNI suffers pilot damage on a 1d6 roll of 5-6 whenever their unit takes a hit to its internal structure. - Pain Shunt A pilot with VDNI and a pain shunt no longer suffers pilot hits for internal damage or ammunition explosions, but may still be killed or render unconscious by direct cockpit hits. - Dermal Myomer Armor Implant A pilot with Dermal Myomer Armor Implants cannot be killed via pilot hits, but may still fall unconscious. A pilot with Dermal Myomer Armor Implants may still be killed if their cockpit is destroyed, but receives a bonus if any form of ejection or pilot survival roll is in play. - Empty Inside This unit does not suffer pilot damage, and cannot be forced to withdraw - Unphased This unit counts as stationary whenever it makes or receives an attack, does not pay terrain costs, and may pass through (but not stop inside) normally impassable terrain. - Superheated When this unit makes a successful melee attack, if it has a higher heat level than its target, it trades heat levels with its target. Heat Radiating armor prevents this effect. - Cold This unit does not sink heat normally, but instead reduces its heat total to 0 on any turn it neither moves nor attacks. - Distant This unit always makes and receives ranged attacks as if it was at long range - Gloom Sink This unit is shrouded, all ranged attacks suffer a +1 penalty. - Organic Armor This unit regenerates 3 armor/turn on all sections, provided any adjacent section still has armor. PTN’s note: It’s 50/50 whether the Word of Blake can stop the players from escaping in the next two turns. They have the damage to do it, but they’ve also got two rogue ‘Mechs to worry about. I’m willing to let the remaining players withdraw safely and end the mission now, or go for the glory and see if they can score a lucky kill next turn. The choice is in Arcturas’s and Ice Fist’s hands! Orders Due: Any Time On Saturday!

That was amazing. Nice work getting two mechs out, hopefully Ice Fist and I can get out too! I’m also thrilled we killed that stupid Archangel that was blocking us so badly. I also remain amazed the let on that other one is holding on. Ice Fist, I think this is your call. I am not in range of anything, and won’t be between here and the exit hex, so you’re the only one with a chance of a glory kill on the way out. I’m happy to soak fire for you, and happy to call it here. Either way.

The Amarok is a tragic 1 MP short of being able to reach a withdrawal this turn, but the Tomahawk C can manage it without worrying about bodyblocking anyone out. It's possible for the Amarok to make it to 2038 to break contact and demand pickup at the southern dropship zone, I think, but that'd be accomplished simpler and easier by just calling it.

Okay after thinking about it. I'm going to keep going. I got all amped up to see what these monster mechs can do and they haven't fired a shot in anger yet. I also said I'd go down in a blaze of glory and although that is only somewhat possible since I'm in forced withdrawal I still intend to Rambo it up with my GAR one last time. Edit: Hell, maybe for maximum hilarity they'll just shoot/eat/devour me as punishment for extending this another 1-2 turns. That'd be funny imo.

Wag the Dog 23 “Only one of us is making it out of here.” Saska grimaced, the Iron Hart was so close, but still too far to reach. Alikhandra’s crippled Tomahawk drug its feet through the rocky soil, not even reaching half of its typical speed. She’d make it to the Iron Hart’s boarding ramps, but only if the approaching crimson ‘Mech didn’t shoot her in the back. Either the enemy would attack Alikhandra, or they would attack him—the other crimson ‘Mech was occupied with the matte black interlopers. Saska doubled back, making for the landing zone on the far side of the ridge. It would take the Iron Hart a little time to circle back for him, but at least below the ridgeline he might find a little cover. His chances were slim, but that hardly mattered. He intended to make his death count. As he trained his weapons on the nearer enemy machine, the red ‘Mech twisted to meet him in kind. All at once, his computer flashed a warning as passive cameras detected the infra-red beams of its TAG lasers once again.

A pilot with any form of VDNI suffers pilot damage on a 1d6 roll of 5-6 whenever their unit takes a hit to its internal structure. - Pain Shunt A pilot with VDNI and a pain shunt no longer suffers pilot hits for internal damage or ammunition explosions, but may still be killed or render unconscious by direct cockpit hits. - Dermal Myomer Armor Implant A pilot with Dermal Myomer Armor Implants cannot be killed via pilot hits, but may still fall unconscious. A pilot with Dermal Myomer Armor Implants may still be killed if their cockpit is destroyed, but receives a bonus if any form of ejection or pilot survival roll is in play. - Empty Inside This unit does not suffer pilot damage, and cannot be forced to withdraw - Unphased This unit counts as stationary whenever it makes or receives an attack, does not pay terrain costs, and may pass through (but not stop inside) normally impassable terrain. - Superheated When this unit makes a successful melee attack, if it has a higher heat level than its target, it trades heat levels with its target. Heat Radiating armor prevents this effect. - Cold This unit does not sink heat normally, but instead reduces its heat total to 0 on any turn it neither moves nor attacks. - Distant This unit always makes and receives ranged attacks as if it was at long range - Gloom Sink This unit is shrouded, all ranged attacks suffer a +1 penalty. - Organic Armor This unit regenerates 3 armor/turn on all sections, provided any adjacent section still has armor. After-Action Report: Wow, what a fight. Ice Fist decided to go down fighting and did they ever! That’s a primary victory condition met on the very last turn and three Clanners safely off the board. I'm going to need a little more time to process this one. Please vote for a Player, Spook, and OpForce MVPs!

It can't possibly be a good idea to leave multiple dimensional terrors unchecked, so I anticipate this result being a very important one eventually.

Congrats GoonStar! Nice work by Ice Fist on the last turn, for sure! I’m going to have to think through player MVP, but enemy MVP has to either be the Preta Susna for being an amazing flanker, or the Deva Shiva for living for like a dozen turns with a leg about to fall off and still putting out tons of damage. Of those, I think the Preta Susna.

Battletech fundamentally isn't about extradimensional invaders, and since they aren't various forms of governments mostly achieving horror and pain, and giant robots, I'm not too worried about their prospects. They'll eat at the margins for sure, but we'll keep getting Viscountess Mirabelle De Villalobo and Marquis Hector von Sumppump getting a planet into a civil war over the existence of the testament of Auntie Ada Kepler who liked boozing up a little too much.
