ok heres another wierd way out kind of mech design challange...

RULES:
-mech, 40-55 tons
-innershere level 2
-must have a composite sructure
-no jump jets
-only ballistic and missile weapons
-no CASE or CASE II
-may not mount physical weapons but physical combat will be allowed.

each mech will get a 4/4 pilot. the mechs will be fighting in a city. composed mostly of medium buildings. each mech will face off in an elimination tounament with a B section. if there aren't enough then they will be filled with a random level 1 design with a 4/5 pilot.

tournament will be held Wednesday April 25th. and results should be posted thursday.

special note:
when submitting mechs I would appreciate some notes on the strategy you would use. if not they will fight head on guns blazing untill death.

I do not see composite as an option as level 2.

I will assume you mean that all other component parts of the mech must be IS level 2, and the internal structure must be a composite, unless you specify otherwise.

composite structure is level 3.
Ergo, a design that mounts it can't be level 2 only.

Unorthodox to say the least, the Urdead is Wayne Enterprise's attempt to bring new life into the quad mech market. With impressive designs like the Fire Scorpion and the so recently encountered Hells Horses' Thunder Stallion the board members at Wayne Enterprises believe that a revolution in quad mechs is dawning and they want the BA-NG Urdead to lead the way.
So far, training programs designed to give BA-NG pilots expirience in urban combat instruct the pilots to charge around the city at full speed, and to keep their eyes open for enemy mechs. When an enemy is encountered standard BA-NG tactics are to charge forward firing the RAC at full capacity, and machine guns are fired as they come into range. The stable quad design also allows for a powerful double kick and easy side stepping around a city's buildings. Wayne Enterprises warns pedestrians to look out, there might be a Urdead appearing on their streets very soon.
Mech design teams at Wayne Enterprises are currently working on several variants of the BA-NG Urdead. One popular refit upgrades the heat sinks while exchanging the machine guns for medium class energy weapons. Yet another downgrades the engine size and adds jump jets. Finally, a flashy variant of the Urdead substitutes the machine guns with heavy flamers and ammo. Around the lab the techs have begun to call this particular model the Urfried. Wayne Enterprises hopes the the BA-NG Urdead will make a good showing in the contest and alert interested buyers to the mech of a new generation. Good luck to all.

Originally a Shadowhawk and subsequently called many things based on famous battle footage, the family Shadowhawk rebuilt by George "The Beast" Wilson has earned its 15 minutes of fame and has more than a few armchair generals clammering for their nation's Shadowhawk factories to retool to build Wilson's version (usually referred to as the Rargh).

The Rargh will probably not be produced in large numbers by any houses other than Davion due to its monopoly of a key component: RACs. The Federated Suns probably won't build it in any large numbers, either, as the Rargh is entirely ammo-based, rather expensive, and a touch short-ranged for the 3060 battlefield. However, most mechwarriors agree it would be fun to test drive a Rargh.

HISTORY
The Rargh started out as a 3050-model Shadowhawk that was mangled in one of many raids against the Clans. It was recovered by its successful lance mates, but Wilson's father (who piloted the SHD in that battle) decided to retire after getting out of physical therapy. His son, George, was too young to pilot the SHD immediately, but that was fine. It gave Dad a chance to make a fortune with a computer business on New Avalon (funded by the black market sale of a Clan Pulse Large Laser, his share of the booty from the raid) and thus fund the reconstruction of the family mech by the time his son graduated from NAMA.

Signing on with his dad's merc unit (now serving with the DCMS), George got his first taste of combat when the Ghost Bears launched their attack on the Combine for the attack at Alshain. George earned his nickname, "The Beast," earned his mech a nicknamed, "The Rargh," and had his 15 minutes of interstellar fame for his exploits against da Bears.

George's first brush with combat was in the defense of a major city, and the legend of the Rargh begins here. The plan formulated by the lance's lieutenant was to make hit-and-run attacks against the advancing assault star, using the merc mechs' (all mediums) greater mobility to pull this off. George, the green cadet, would be the last one to make such a hit and run attack so he could watch how the others pulled it off. One by one, the merc mechs would pop out of alleys and fire at the advancing star. In two cases, da Bears just turned and evaporated the insolent Spheroid (who were usually under 30 meters from 5 assault mechs). In the third case, George got to watch the lance's scout (an Assassin) burned down in mid-air as it jumped away from its not-so-clever ambush. George basically panicked when he discovered he was between half the city and a Ghost Bear assault star.

Paralyzed by fear but unable to flee, George watched as da Bears thundered past him toward the rear of the merc lines on the other side of the city. Finally, George found himself acting, even though it felt as if someone else was in control of his body. (His later retellings on talk shows and media interviews painted an entirely different picture, of course.) Battle ROMs indicate George was swearing and yelling incoherently when he stepped out behind the star of assault mechs.

In the opening salvo, George dropped the two rearmost Ghost Bear mechs, a Masakari and Gladiator, via a destroyed engine (ammo explosion and center torso critical hit) and a destroyed gyroscope respectively. Only 1 of 12 RAC bursts went astray. When George advanced, he stomped on the head of the still-twitching Gladiator and destroyed a confused Kodiak that was just figuring out something was behind it, again via engine damage. The fourth mech, a Thor, was quicker to turn but largely vented its fury on the buildings around George while George managed another freakishly accurate salvo into the torso of the Thor that left the larger mech a burning wreck. The 38-second battle closed when George and the star's commander (in another Gladiator) exchanged fire over a low building. The hail of RAC fire shattered the Gladiator's cockpit.

Any veteran mechwarrior who has seen the battle ROMs knows "The Beast" was way out of his depth and riding on an incredible streak of luck. (Most telling is the additional 10 seconds of fire "the Beast" poured into innocent buildings behind the collapsing star commander's mech before realizing the fight was over. Either that or the half-hysterical yelling that the media likes to interpret as brave battle bellows.) However, it would take two more battles and 5 more destroyed Clan mechs before the Beast's winning streak ended.

In a fighting retreat to the merc unit's dropships two days later, the Beast and other mercs were hit by a Ghost Bear medium star, where the Beast's luck largely repeated itself. George simply waded into the middle of da Bears and blew the medium Clan omnimechs apart one by one. His rotary autocannons jammed after gunning down the third mech, so the out-of-control mechwarrior simply grabbed a Black Hawk's arm and beat the remaining Ghost Bear mechs into garbage. The Beast again continued to pummel his foes after the battle was over, pounding a Ryoken for half a minute before he responded to the calls from other mercs to calm down.

After a whirlwind publicity tour lasting several months, the now-famous Beast got to take part in a raid against Ghost Bear forces. Shortly after the orbital drop, the Beast and his company encountered Ghost Bear garrison mechs. The Beast charged the Rargh at a Masakari (prime) and was casually gunned down by the Clanner before ever getting within RAC range.

And no CASE on mechs required to use ammo-dependent weapons only. The intent of these games seems to be "quick death."

Specially designed for the StarEx Medium Games , the BLR-F Brawler was completely rebuilt from the inside out. Following the Restriction Limits, Techs removed the endo steel framework of the mech and replaced it with less bulky composite material. The extra internal space granted allowed Ferro-Fibrous armor to used to gain additional tonnage. There double heatsinks were removed and MASC installed in the right torso.

Every equipment component was removed except for the two original SRM-6 racks in the chest. Designers were baffled at this point as to what weapons should be placed on the mech. Finally, an agreement was concluded and additional SRM-6’s were installed on the arms and center torso.

Strategists suggest that the Brawler use it’s superb speed out flank an opponent from the side or rear and launch a full volley of missiles at the target, then retreat back before enemy counter attacks.

During field testing, it was discover that the new light internal structure is not very sturdy. Micro cracks began to form on the hip actuators after prolonged combat use. Routine inspection and maintenance must be administered every 150 hours of field use to prevent damage. Apoc Mech Industries does not plan any mass production of the BLR-F Brawler and will only do so in limited quantities upon request.

ICP-5K Icepick

Mass: 55 tons
Chassis: Telestar Model 6LQ
Power Plant: VOX 165 XL
Cruising Speed: 32.25
Maximum Speed: 53.75
Jump Jets: none
Jump Capacity: none
Armor: Durallex Super Medium Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
1 Gauss Rifle
2 Rotary AC/2s
Manufacturer: Johnson 'Mechworks Inc.
Primary Factory: Soul
Communications System: Wilson Silicon Siren
Targeting and Tracking System: O/P Scanoptics Model 5

Overview:
If there's one thing predictable about the designers at Johnson
'MechWorks, Inc., it's that they can be counted on to be
unpredictable. After scanning the early entries into the StarEx
Medium challenge and noting certain trends, the JMInc. engineers
decided to do something completely different. And the ICP-5K Icepick
is exactly that. Like most of the other entries, the ICP-5K mounts
RACs, but unlike the others, it uses the lighter cannons, and as
supporting rather than main weapons. Useful forepower is supplied by
the M-9 Gauss Rifle in the Left Arm.

Capabilities:
The Icepick's weaponry was chosen specifically to deal with the
other 'Mechs in the StarEx challenge: designers hope that the Gauss
Rifle will pack a murderous punch against other medium 'Mechs. The
twin RAC/2s were added to supply supporting fire and to exploit the
great gaping holes inflicted by the rifle. The heavy weapons reduce
the 'Mech to a dismal speed, but hopefully it has the firepower to
make up for it.

Known Variants:
Due to the Icepick's pathetic speed, testers proposed removing
one of the RACs to increase the size of the engine, with the option
of adding a pair of machine guns for close-range support.

BV: 1161

Tactical notes:although the Icepick's lack of speed severely limits the 'Mech's ability to dictate the terms of engagement, the tactical minds at JMInc. recommend that the pilot try to keep at fairly long range as long as possible. It is also recommended that, due to the scanty supply of RAC ammo, the pilot not fire the cannons at full rate unless the target already has armor gaps to exploit, or the situation is desperate.

CN-44D Canine is aptly named, as it chews its opponents up.

The Canine carries an unusual array of weapons. The Colt 80mm Class-5 Autocannon uses armor piercing shells in the hope that a vital component is destroyed and a Ruger 72mm Class-5 Rotary Autocannon to blow holes in the armor. A pair of Piccolo Pete Short Range Missle 6 Packs is used in short range combat and to exploit the gaps in the armor.

The Canine is slow for its size and best used as a fire support mech. It carries 10 tons of Lexington High Grade Ferro-Fibrous armor and 10 double heat sinks to protect the pilot.

Rotary Autocannons (RACs) are (in their L2 incarnation) FedSuns guns o'death available in class 2 and class 5 sizes (RAC/2 and RAC/5).

Like a normal AC and Ultra AC (UAC), they can fire a single shot.

Like an Ultra AC, they can fire at double speed. RACs jam if the to-hit roll is a '2'. Use the SRM 2 column of the missiles hit table like the UAC to figure out whether 1 or 2 bursts hit.

Better than a UAC, RACs can fire at 4x speed. When fired at this speed, they jam on a roll of 2 or 3. Use the SRM 4 column to figure out how many shots hit.

Better yet, RACs can fire at 6x speed. When fired at this speed, they jam on a roll of 2, 3, or 4. Use the SRM 6 column to figure out how many shots hit.

You roll hit locations separately for each shot in a higher-speed burst that hit, like a UAC. When combined with a targeting computer and called shots, all shots that hit will hit the same location.

The RAC/2 has a range of 18, no minimum (I think), is 8 tons, dunno how many crits, and generates 1 heat per shot in a burst. It can thus generate up to 6 points of heat.

The RAC/5 has a range of 15, is 10 tons and 6 crits, and also generates 1 heat per shot. Potentially, it's a 30pt, 6-heat munchkin lead hose with the range of a large laser.

And the best part is you can *un*jam them, unlike UAC's (when you roll snakeyes the "arming circuits failed" and can't be fixed on the battlefield.) I've forgotten the unjamming rules, though, sorry.

authorized and built the Prick B4-STRD. Regardless of it being a
prank mech it has served well in the Cappellen Confederation

Capabilities:
Armed with 24 machine guns the Prick B4-STRD is encased in
stealth armor to protect it from mechs with longer ranged weapons. In
the up coming StarEx special medium games mechwarrior Chin hopes to
force such opponents to withdraw when they waste and run out of ammo
while trying to hit it.
If that plan fails MEchwarrior chin hopes for the best by
utilizing his agility and stealth to out flank his oponents and give
them the Chinese Torture Treatment followed with a reverse thrust to
Joanna's Exhaust Port. If all else fails Mechwarrior Chin hopes to
perform his over the top I'm a beached Whale Impersonation right
before his opponent grinds him to dust.

We are a race that has the ability of going beyond the boundries placed on us. The question we should ask ourselves then is whether or not we should go beyond those boundries?
