Posted: 04-Feb-2006 08:56 Post subject: Mad Cat III? |
|
|
While at a store and just flipping through some tech readouts of Mechwarior: Dark Age, my eyes fell on this. A fifty five ton scaled down Mad Cat I guess it is supposed to be. I would like to know what your opinion is on it.

Capabilities
This medium ´Mech is a very well balanced unit with several unusual qualities. In its starting position and second slot, the Mad Cat III has Anti-personnel special equipment and multiple target capabilities. This combination of abilities means that Fetladral can target two units and deliver a full 3 points of damage to each target successfully hit. Furthermore, any infantry in base contact with either of the targets also takes 3 clicks of damage if successfully hit. Opposing players will be punished for approaching Fetladral with formations of infantry. The Mad Cat III has unusual defensive equipment, as well. Reactive Armor protects it against the ballistic weapons often used to attack ´Mechs at long ranges.
Deployment
Following the success of the Mad Cat II, Clan Diamond Shark developed the Mad Cat III, a medium-weight design to accompany the heavy Mad Cat and assault Mad Cat II. As the Diamond Sharks were selling both the Mad Cat II and Mad Cat III straight to the Inner Sphere Houses, providing the Clans´ enemies with superior technology, the other Clans banded together to censure the renegade Clan. Many believe this was what pushed the Diamond Sharks to begin their final move to the Inner Sphere and revert to their original name of Sea Fox. As it was sold to House Kurita, this Mad Cat III has only recently been piloted by a Clan MechWarrior. It was originally a part of Katana Tormark´s forces, but a clash between the Steel Wolves and Dragon´s Fury in early 3133 across the Prefecture borders of III and IV resulted in Kendrick Fetladral gaining a new ´Mech; he immediately named it "Lupus." Since the Mad Cat III was sold directly to the Inner Sphere, as the Mad Cat II before it, the Republic has a large number of these well-made designs. Created by Clan Diamond Shark (which would become Clan Sea Fox) following the success of the Mad Cat II, the Mad Cat III is simply a medium-weight variant of the original heavy Mad Cat; one of the most successful designs ever to walk off a ´Mech assembly line. This particular design is so new that its only pilot is the current one, Mason Dunne, who is a Knight of the Sphere. He named the design "Ghost."

It looks like nasty high tech medium. Now where is the reason for building this when I can get roughly the same performance from Stormcrow?
Edit: Of course filling booster pack with this mech...
