A Free Worlds League field modification, this was an attempt to remove the PPC for the use of mechs while keeping the Manticore effective. Due to the FWL's surplus in lasers, the normal PPC was swapped for a LL. With lots of saved tonnage, the LRM was upgraded to a 15, it's ammo was doubled, and an extra ton of armor was added.

I know the fwl is hurting for ppcs, but I hate seeing the term upgrade when a ppc is swapped out for a laser. Just my opinion.
It does remove a couple of heat sinks needed for the tank. and the extra ammo with a larger launcher is nice.

I didn't want to call it a downgrade either, as it wasn't quite that.

As with the others where are heat sinks? You are not showing them, so given that how is this vehicle paying for the 11 heat it builds up?

I took what you posted. The tonnage is there, per the rules, which your posting clearly was in volition of. I can adjust the armor, the problem is it's NOT going to grow or gain the .5 ton you claim it needs to get 12 tons, which legally it can't have.

Sorry given the crappy lay out and the omitting of heat sinks and other information it's hard to read the piss-poor stats. I entered what I could translate out of the stuff you posted incomplete as it is, so if there was an error it was due to poor format you are using to provide the data.

The ML isn't on the turret because the original Manticore's ML wasn't on the turret.
Other people who would have read the post(Or anyone who's used a manticore) would have realized that ML was mounted frontwards. The error came from you.

Retry the error comes from the stats as you posted them, nothing is lined up, thus making it hard to read and given that certain items are missing makes the posting incomplete, which coming from you I find hard to believe that you would post something that is incomplete and thus not up to the rules that you claim to know so well.

It is not my error, the error comes from the crappy format rendering it hard to read. How about you use the CODE formating which would like things up in columns which makes it easier to read.

I am not shifting blame since the blame lyes with you and your faulty design program, which leave out the heat sinks and other components and doesn't post well. As for the CODE format looking like crap it looks a lot better then jumbled mess you have posted.

You mean you don't use fractal accounting? Have .1 in turret and .4 tons on armor?
It is difficult to follow the designs as the layout you are using, retry. Alot of things you take as given knowledge isn't for some of us. Unless stated otherwise, most people assume engines for tanks are ice, not fusion. Very few would think an ice would be in a mech, so they assume it is fusion. Not showing the controls or other equipment makes some of us think it was not added into the unit, and having to figure out the weight every time a unit is put up gets old.
And karagin, as much as I dislike retry's program, the misplacement of the laser is on you. Unless he edited it, it does say FR.
