In the spirit of the carrying on the VTOL Lance's reputation of giving Magnus' Op Forces a damn bad day, I have devised a bullshit "Super Assassin" I am intending to name the "Maximum Tiger" formerly known as Tiger Blood. The reasoning for this being I can already afford an Full overhaul and a DHS upgrade.. but if I were to be able to perform an engine upgrade (3 million cbills) at the same time as my Full Overhaul I would be able to, and this IS in the rules apparently by Magnus' own words, upgrade the mech to 45 tons on top of the overhaul and engine. This would enable me to build a 45 ton mech, moving 7/11/7, possessing 9.5 tons of armor (152 points), 7 medium lasers, 13 DHS, and Guardian ECM (Val would be proud). Magnus has pledged 500,000 C-Bills to the assistance towards building this mech. if 5 people can ante up 1 technical point they have lying around, I can make this happen. Please, think of the children. Edit: 777th post, LUCKY NUMBERS. GIMME A JACKPOT! I will pay you back at a later date. At a time when you actually require that one Technical point to complete an upgrade. First donors get priority payback.
since i pledged first i want preference on getting paid back also, the 5 ton "upgrade" is totally legit. there are quite a few popular canon chassis that got the treatment. also keep in mind that this particular upgrade is not cost effective at all. It requires a massive custom overhaul. It is mostly just there for people who REALLY love a specific chassis, but want to make it just a *little bit* better.
I'd donate, but I also now own the Magnus Mafia 500,000 C-bills myself... had to get that Phoenix Hawk-2b
not to rain on your parade Tzeentch, but (just for the record) this is a really bad idea. you will be in debt for a looong time to a lot of people.
Quiet you, it's a brilliant idea. Besides, this is essentially a dream mech, I won't be using any the money I make after this long enough to pay everyone off.
