This allows a community consensus to be formed through discussion and may affect more than just the article being discussed. − ''Add comments here (above the previous entry)'' − 23 June 2017 − I am doing a game and using as an intro... a ship from the SLDF golden era, that miss jumped through time and space. But the ship suffered a miss jump inside the atmosphere and they managed to get it into orbit. Birds growing out of bulkheads. One dropship unaffected, interesting it had a engineering and a mash unit. They ended up on said planet at about 2 AD. They hid the ship in the moon, and built a pyramid to conceal the Fortress Dropship and hid the personnel who survived, in a cryogenic hibernation suite. I was planning on having the character puzzle solve several different formulas, etc... to make sure, when someone did open it, they were from at least the proper time. Used Ferrocrete blocks for the pyramids. Problem is they used the instant or dry formula and lose materials. As such they have a mixed temporal or C-13 dating from both 28th century and 1st century AD. Doesn't matter what jumpship is, one had to strip it down to the no part on another and remake all the parts with birds on them before can fly...+ '''Useage''': Under a dated section, introduce a new entry with an asterisk (*), right under the "'''Requests for Comments'''" section head (''i.e''., in reverse chronological order).

I noticed in the 3055 and the 3058 Technical Reports, that the Inner Sphere forces used triple space double heat sinks. At the time they were being shifted because FASA was bankrupt. Up until then the DHS was literally 2 spaces, I know because I have some manuals, that have the double heat sinks taking up 2 spots. So I had an idea. It started when I was asked to modify an Awesome for a friend. He wanted clan weapons, and it got me thinking. I increased the engine to 250. This gave me 10 free sinks. I added the clan weapons, and Clan Endo. But I had a problem with the heat. So I noticed them and well I had an odd idea. Would it be possible to invent a new piece of hardware. Clans did have single and double heat sinks. So I looked and stripped the covers off of three of them and split one in half. I took two Inner Sphere double heat sinks and tossed away the guts. This allowed me to install the clan weight systems into the skins of the Inner Sphere, But I knew that was not... knew it was odd, but couldn't use the split models I made except to form a new heat sink pattern for the computer. To fabricate the ones giving me a Radical Heat Sink that never failed. If split, it would always fail. − I created some rules for my own games. − 1.) It has to use Inner Sphere Tech engines. − 2.) Has to be specific in housed in a 250 rated engine or larger. − 3.) Can't be mix-matched, all heat sinks need to be specific models. − So the Awesome would have: 4 Clan ER PPCs, 20 triple heat sinks -20[60), Clan Endo, Micro pulse laser in the CT − Extra room was found when I used compact gyros, Jump jets 3/5/3... − ----- − GAP [reboot - sort of] Gauss Anti Personnel - I did some calculations, basically it was asking my local math teacher to walk me through the fundamentals of gauss. She knew I played CBT and she explained the problem to me. She used n example I could understand. She used a basketball and a marble. Said the 'basketball' was the current Gauss round. The marble would be the round she'd prefer to fire. Every time you shrink the weight and get a small round, every 1/4 of a 1/4 of a 1/4 would increase speed. Enabling a small projectile to hit at higher speeds. A 1 kilogram projectile can be fired at .8 times the speed of light. Meant the round could fired at range of normal Gauss (full size) and do double damage to anything as small as an Elemental. Said they were having problems with it burning up and I knew a secret. I informed her how to coat the rounds with molybdenum She looked and talk to someone else. Wasn't a perfect fix but did make it last longer. I played a game with her and her friends, and she understood what I was trying to do. Right now the CBT is set up so the PBI weapons suck for range. Now this... I added 3 tons to the assembly, PPC capacitors to handle the increased power requirements. He had to power the thing from the capacitors not directly from... meaning you could have one man stop an entire division with sniper tactics. Snipers are wolves of the battlefield. They are a one man wrecking crew. This would enable me to have 1000 rounds of ammo per ton. − − adrian.aakre@yahoo.com, 15 May 2017, 10:09 AM (CST)[[Special:Contributions/24.230.166.233|24.230.166.233]] 18:19, 15 May 2017 (EDT) − − :This reads like you are mixing an in-character and out-of-character voice, so forgive my confusion.

The miniatures page is now a landing page for miniatures in general with the individual miniatures lists for each company in separate pages. The outline (and super structure) for Ral Partha miniatures is appearing in good shape though some details still need filling. The [[Miniatures - Iron Wind Metals|Iron Wind Metals Miniatures Page]] is a page needing significant work yet. Here are some responses/comments as food for thought. − * An example of the gallery idea can be found at Lost Minis Wiki [http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=BattleTech&direction=next&oldid=219598]. Their BattleTech content seems focused on Ral Partha. FASA, Catalyst, and Iron Wind Metals do not appear to be represented there. Anyone wishing to work on a image gallery might want to prioritize the latter three. − * The Catalyst plastics could be particularly opportune to work on either now or in the near future given the Kickstarter is nearing delivery. − * A separate page devoted to standees would make sense. If/when I have opportunity, I will create such. I wrote the intro to [[Miniatures]] with this idea in view. Model kits (if they are not directly used in game play) would likely need to be addressed separately. − * The miniature page is now a landing page (and I adopted a division by company as a convenient way to "divide-and-conquer"). But there might be better methods of organization. And this is a good time to discuss the bird's eye view. If there are thoughts about ways to structure this from a bird's eye view, please do share. − − --[[User:Dude RB|Dude RB]] ([[User talk:Dude RB|talk]]) 17:04, 27 May 2021 (EDT) ==29 April 2011== ==29 April 2011== Line 135:
