Friend says 4xLBX faf not possible by lore. True?
« on: January 05, 2012, 10:02:44 PM »
i am canon illiterate, and one of my nerd friends keeps dissing the 4xlbx faf claiming its not a possible variant for this mech, and that the fafnir is crap by canon. i have my reasons to doubt this. loremasters?

MWLL =/= CBT

EDIT:  I suppose I should add that I feel just because the MWLL Fafnir can mount x4 LBX/20s, doesn't mean it should.  I think that kind of firepower should be reserved for something like the Annihilator, but I realize that the configuration, along with the x4 LT Gauss one, probably exists right now for the purpose of testing the new Fafnir, and that it is likely to change.

look guys, i obviously know there are differences between MWLL and CBT. But this seems out of logic to me, since if you take the lasers off you have some spare tonnage, you should be able to make this variant. Or what am i not getting?

I wonder why the Beatstick cannot, but the Faf can.

Your friend would be correct. Canon wise a 4 LBX20 Faf, is 9 crits and 6.5 tons over weight before adding any ammo due in canon it having endo steel internals. However you can fudge both weight and crits  if you reduce armor significantly and swap to standard internals. However, keep in mind MWLL does not use a crit system, endo steel or ferro armor (faf uses standard armor) or canon build rules, so this is all pointless nerd chatter.

The beatstick can. They just didnt config it that way.

edit: IIRC there used to be a 4 LBX20 MKII back in .2

Aye, it was 4x LBX20 waaay back somewhere around 0.2.
Add this to the lower armor levels of those days and that thing was walking rape.
Never arm once what you could arm twice.

Indeed, however the pods size on the mech have not changed (can put UAC20s on the arms, and LBX20s on the ears) so the variant is still possible just pointless since the powerglove exists.

The 4x LBX20 Fafnir is possible in MWLL but it has since been revised to remove all 4 additional tons of ammo as it was overweight by our build rules and not caught prior to release.
 
I've been personally doing a very thorough pass on EVERY single variant of all vehicles in MWLL for the past 2 weeks to bring everything inline with a unified build rules set.  There are going to be a number of changes that come out of this process but it is important as it will set us up for compliance with upcoming features.

Not just one, but 3 very good bits of news.

Count me as excited. Especially this part: compliance with upcoming features
