This is one "hot" mech. Excuse the pun.

The mech is nicely named and fluffed. NOw for the technicals.



I will take the stand that this mech does NOT have nice fluff.

<<<
Overview
I think the name should speak for the mech. The Ice Dragon does not overheat.
>>>

Some fluff on why the desingers thought to do this in the first place would be nice...

<<<
Capabilities
The Ice Dragon has 3 gauss rifles with a damge potential of 45
alone. The IDR-65L also has a targeting computer and a streak srm 6 and a medium laser. the tc will make this a very deadly mech.
>>>

Too... game like...

<<<
Deployment
The Ice Dragon is deployed by clan smoke jaguar.
>>>
who are dead.. hoorah.. no more Ice Dragons with poor fluff. Maybe that's why the fluff is so poor, no Loremaster to write it up.

That being said, the mech itself is actually very well designed.

Drfunk if you're still around. Please write better fluff. Ask for help if you need to.

Well, I do think that "this fluff stinks".

HOWEVER - I don't agree with you having a problem with it being a Smoke Jaguar 'mech.

If we cannot put designs into a "historical" context, then this hobby, for me, is dead. And the future looks very, very bleak.*

jymset, still hoping for another lvl1 TRO




* I just realised this sounds rather strange. Wanting a future which turns to the past.... But, that's me. And I'm sure there would be a lot of people who would agree.

I haven't got a problem with it being a smoke jaguar mech as well, i was using the fact that it's dead as a possible reason why there's no fluff..
. The no loremaster bit..

The jags make be kaput but this mech may still live on in the dark caste. I am sure some kitties got away from task force serpent. Galaxy commander brandon howell and his survivors for one....
