-shambles into the bar and grill with a ripped uniform and multiple bandaged wounds-
Just got into an engagement on the 10 klicks outside the city. An ER-PPC, someone. -slaps some c-bills on the bar- And oh, happy birthday Alexis.
If anyone is interested, I have a kneecapped and somewhat crushed Hunchback for sale. Its great except for the falling damage to the rear torso area and right leg which is crushed.

*looks at Delta*
You fought the Hunchback without your mech? 
*dramatic pause (thinking)*
Who would assault Lyrans on their own planet ...?

Well, we wern't fighting the local regiments, just a small detachment of some of the people that I was sent to this planet to kill.
In any case, the stupid hunchback was busy trying to blow up the APC but couldn't score a solid hit. (He was a greenpilot I think). So I ran up behind him and fired a bunch of micro-grenades into the proper places (Which had been enlarged by an Medium Laser blast), and then ran. Crash.

10 klicks ? Doesn't the bar and grill defensive systems have AT2 styled ranges ?

Outside of the city...not the bar.
OOC: Aerospace weapons only go so far because they of the conditions assossciated with space and very high atmosphere I think.

OOC: or just because they don't have terrain or houses in line of fire

| OOC: Negitive. Battlemechs deployed in space without any modifications use the AT-2 weapons stats.

OOC: Remember, in space there is no (or so little as to be none) friction, and no gravity. So if something is launched at 50kph, it STAYS at 50kph unless it is under accelleration, then it gets faster as time passes. The shorter ranged ballistic weapons only have a shorter range because they can only be accurately fired that far, the shell keeps going and loses no energy outside that range though.

OOC: Technically, since the gravity is so low in space, an object or energy maintains its inerta much better than it does in heavier gravity (ie a planet or close enough to a large gas giant or star [provided you don't disinigrate, what are you doing there anyway?]).
Besides, AT weapons cost the same. Don't you think there'd be a LITTLE cost difference if aerospace weapons could fire so so far away, and furthermore wouldn't the fluff in the back of AT-2 say something? And jump capaple mechs deployed in an AT situation have AT ranged weapons as well...
Edit: Adding a side note here...just an expansion on what raglith said...

OOC: quite funny thing and almost impossible. Just imagine... year 3423, starship Enterprise destroyed with lose NAC/40 fired by Star League ship during reunification campaign.
So you work as assassin for house Stainer? Now we know you, we know your address and we know everything else, no hiding ...
*dramatic pause*

Theres a difference between and seek and destroyer and assassination. My targets were traitors, not politicians. 
Besides, in an assassination you kill one guy. We basically blew up the base during the firefight...
