Does anyone have a good mech builder that includes the level 2 and three weapons including this like the Rocket10s. I have the Battlemech designer featured on this site but it doesnt contain any specialised things such as advanced armour types, weapons and tech. Including the upgrade stuff.


Any help appreciated! thnx!

BMD 9.71 is several years out of date and the author appears to have fallen off the face of the earth. Other than HMP I don't know of any design prog that is completely up2date. However Mech Engineer Pro has the ability to use all new tech by using the Add Non-Standard Equipment option from then Engineer menu. You must enter the stuff by hand, but no big deal really, if you want something free. MEP will only work up to ME, and will not work on 2000. I use MEP, The Drawing Board, and BMD. They are all good for being freeware I am going to purchase Heavy Metal Plus soon though.

If you are only looking at free programs, The Drawing Board is about the best you are going to find I believe. It has no problems with level 1 or 2 stuff that I am aware of and has all available equipment, provided you have the most up-to-date version. It does have a couple bugs when dealing with level 3 stuff, but otherwise it is pretty good.

Which is why I am buying them as soon as I can afford to

Until then I'll stick with what I have.

And if anyone needs the progs I can zip em and put em on my webserver, just PM me and ask

Also, thanks for the info about the most recent version of TDB, I didn't use it after updating until you said something. Just built my first mech with a rotary ac

Here ya go, you can download everything you need for The Drawing Board from this site:

http://www.pryderockindustries.com/dl_mech.php#TDB2

Has pretty much all the canon mechs I think.
Start with the lowest version and then unzip each consecutive version over top of it (they are just updates so no installer like on the 2.0.10b)

Enjoy
