 Posted: 09-Apr-2006 15:17 Post subject: A WSP-3L (Project Phoenix) that can be used! |
  |
|
As i saw the WSP-3L the first time i couldn´t believe that anybody would pilot this voluntarily! Stealth armor combined with 10 single heat sinks! So whoever switches on the staelth armor not to get hit limits his mech to move slowly and cease fire or he would boil himself inside the cockpit!
That is my try to solve this problem:
BattleMech Technical Readout
Type/Model: Wasp WSP-3L2
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3067
Config: Biped BattleMech
Rules: Level 2, Standard design
Mass: 20 tons
Chassis: Hellespont Type W Standard
Power Plant: 120 Hermes Fusion
Walking Speed: 64,8 km/h
Maximum Speed: 97,2 km/h
Jump Jets: 6 Hellespont Leaper Standard Jump Jets
Jump Capacity: 180 meters
Armor Type: Hellespont Lite Stealth Stealth
Armament:
1 Diverse Optics ER Medium Laser
1 Death Blossom Rocket Launcher 10 (OS)
1 Datacom 50 Guardian ECM
Manufacturer: Hellespont Industries, Taurus Territorial Industries, Detroit Consolidated MechWorks
Location: Sian, Taurus and Detroit
Communications System: Hellespont Tight Beam
Targeting & Tracking System: RadCom TXXI
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Wasp was the first recon 'Mech ever to be mass-produced. Over the
last six centuries, the Wasp has served in every House army. This fact made
negotiations run smoother between the Vicore group and Hellespont Industrials,
and paved the way for the CCAF's approval and financing of the light 'Mech's
construction.
Vicore's goals for the Wasp were simple: to be both cost effective and
innovative. Hellespont industrials would have to make only minor changes to
their Wasp line to produce this new version. The Strategios took one look at
the new Wasp and immediately jumped at the chance to add another stealth
BattleMech to their TO&Es.
==Capabilities:==
This new model incorporates Hellespont's endo-steel which, with the
inclusion of a standard fusion engine and the maximum possible amount of
stealth armor, gives the new Wasp an incredible survivability for the lightest
of BattleMechs-a quality absolutely necessary in a scout 'Mech. In designing
the 'Mech's armor layout, the project engineers paid close attention to better
protecting the Wasp's joints. They also relocated the jump jets to the torso-a
fact that not only provided better protection for the 'Mech but actually saved
costs. At the same time, though a relatively minor move, the designers chose
to incorporate only standard heat sinks to cut down on expenses-and to make
use of the CCAF's huge stockpile of these heat sinks, a stockpile that had
barely been touched in the past decade. Finally, the Wasp was equipped with a
pilot ejection system similar to that on the Phoenix Hawk.
Like the original, this new Wasp is only lightly armed, carrying an
extended-range medium laser as its primary armament. In a somewhat
controversial move, the CCAF authorized the addition of a single Marian rocket
launcher to the design, giving it an additional punch to help it extract
itself from difficult situations. When added to its high mobility and stealth
characteristics, the weapons loadout makes the Wasp 3L an extremely effective
and survivable light recon 'Mech.
==Variants:==
With the development of this new Wasp, we have solidified confirmation of
the Word Blake's involvement. Our operatives sighted a Blakist Level II of
Wasps, painted in typical Black Warrior schemes, off-loading from a
Union-class DropShip on Circinus. Now, with the Capellans producing this
design, we are pushing harder to find the link between Word of Blake and
Vicore. So far we have found no solid leads or facts.
Both the MAF and the TDF are building this Capellan design under license
from Hellespont, though it took years of upgrades to the Taurus Territorial
factories on Taurus before that facility could work with the Capellans'
stealth armor. The Lyrans are building their own design on Furillo, mounting a
light engine, two extended-range medium lasers, a TAG designator and a
Guardian ECM suite. Archernar on New Avalon has received a license from
Defiance Industries to produce the same design.
==Deployment==
The first production run of Wasps was completed in late July. Within the
CCAF, these first units were assigned into lances with Raven 4Ls and the new
Phoenix Hawk which, along with the new Stinger or Sha Yu, would form light
Shadow Lances-"Ying Qiang".

I didn´t want to broil anything thats why i put DHS´s in even if it means to lower the armor somewhat!!!!!!

Mein Gott .. 
err... not so bad, I was thinking about Dropping the RL and armor and stronger engine, but there are not enough crits to do that without problems.
Another partial solution would be installing another SHS (just if you want to retool already made/botched mechs). Not that it would save your skin, but you can at least move with stealth engaged without overheating

Maybe the designers stuck on single heatsinks because they had to rush production but as soon as the first combat reports reach the superiors i think they have to do something to keep their heads on their shoulders!
P.S.: The TRO conversion-list was melting like snow in the sun so how many did you submit???? And where do you take the time from???

DHS are simply too big for this mech, if the designers kept more with the original WSP-1A, just like you did.

Honestly I don't know

I counted my submissions just out of curiosity: 146 in 2.5 weeks!
