  |
|
Overview:
The Dandelion was originally designed to destroy light and very light aerofighters.
Capabilities: The Dandelion uses endo steel structure so it can use Hagelin Energy Shields for protection in addition to its 28.5 tons of hardened armor. To make attacks against targets at extreme ranges, it has an Inner Sphere Very Heavy Class 2 Autocannon capable of shooting caseless proximity fused precision cluster flak shots and 7 Very Extended Range Clan Micro Pulse Lasers. Both can shoot to an effective range of 3,960 meters, and their attacks can be made against flying units a little easier with the tank's On Target Aerial Targeting & Tracking System, though that does make attacks against ground targets a little harder. 45 shots are available for the autocannon and Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment (C.A.S.E.) is mounted to protect the crew and tank from ammo explosions. That autocannon and the micro pulse lasers can make use of the C3 computer system for easier attacks at ranges. This tank is unusually designed because it uses double heat sinks to dissipate all of its heat. It is very slow though; its cruising speed is just 3 meters per second. It does have front and rear hitches that enable it to pull other units and be pulled by other units in case its motive system gets destroyed.

Well, I gotta check for a fumble every now and then.  Really, I use the SO rule for thrust points providing target movement modifiers for aerofighters.

Its a custom weapon just like the Very ER Micro Pulse Lasers, Hagelin Shields*, Vehicle DHS, Vehicle Endo-Steel, and the ridiculous ammo this thing uses. It even looks like much of the vehicle construction may even be custom. Someone plays an entirely different game than we do but constantly posts this stuff here for feedback.
While I concede that BT is not based in hard science and reality, it does have an established 'universe physics' and flavor that custom items should try to play by. My rapid loading arty was silly powerful but was based upon previous examples in the universe. The stuff posted here, ignores all the rules (even some game mechanics) and is frankly an entirely different game.

When you try to build something better and just do this by ridiculously inflating all components that is not difficult.
It would be difficult to built something better while keeping the flavour of the BT universe and some common sense.

My favourite items are:
Red Button - no weight or critical space really - it kills any in-game target you can think of.
Blue Button - kills the one pressing the red button AND the one ordering him to do so. Out of the game. Retroactively. In future as well.
Dare you approach the Red Button?

O.k. so a vhac2 has the same range as a Very ER MICRO Pulse laser? And the short range is longer than the clan Erppc? And 7 very er micro pulse lasers only take up 1 slot? I am surprised there isnt a pair of ultra accurate er targeting computers.
