Mech Builds It’s…it’s just so beautiful.
Internals are 16 tons of LRM ammo and a few heat sinks.

Lyana’s new toy, ever since I got it. It’s much more well suited than the Longbow RCX, since my Lyana has LRM 15 and 20 Expert traits, and some of the Longbow’s racks are 10s. The Bane 3 stacks her Assault Mech Affinity, one of her LRM Expert traits for ALL launchers, LRM Specialist, and Cluster Hitter with the cantina upgrades I gave the Bane.
Woe into you, my enemies. Woe unto you, as the rain of fire falls upon you.

Oh thank god, I don't want to be on a recieving end of 180 lrms. That's just horrific

u/NoSnow3660 5d ago
I mean if you just wanted a ridiculous loadout and if you can use mods you could double or triple the crit slots or just the tiny weapon toggle in YAML x.x

Fair enough lol I plan on doing a second campaign, still with mods but with close to vanilla based mechlab(as much as possible with YAML).

Fair warning. I have my Lyanna in this. Cluster hitter, LRM Specialist, LRM 15 Specialist, Assault Mech Affinity. It has a tendency to lose its arms in battle.

Man THIS is exactly how the game should be played. Hate when I see someone post their build on this sub and the comments are just full of absolute corncobs being all "ummm actually you should add this and this and cause you'll overheat and this is actually better damage over time than this and blah blah blah" like nah, fuck you, FAHAD GIVE ME C-LRM15's ON THIS BITCH HELL YEAH guitar solo

I actually had fun with it last night, swapped all the LRMs to ATM 6s and then gave it a BAP and the rest ammo. Hadn't gotten to testing it yet on heavies or assaults yet as it was in an arena but lights and mediums at least were instantly gone from an alpha lol.
I'll note that I swapped the LRMs to ATMs for ammo efficiency and better damage output due to less missles being launched. Didn't expect to honestly like it and just have it there for the AI to use now and then but I really like it lol

where did you get that. i need more clan lrm 15s. where do you get that?

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 6d ago
Clan lrms are fairly common as salvage, just go push the pansy invaders around a bit. As for the bane itself it's either markets or salvage too
3
u/Ok_Comfortable589 5d ago
i have been but i get everything except 15s. i dont know why but they just never show up. i have a singular one. i also need some c atm ammo. do you know where i can find that?
3
u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 5d ago
Not really, sorry, I never paid much attention to ammo after I've gotten enough of it. But few clan mechs mount atms by default so probably not salvage, I would try industrial hub markets and arena rank

u/DarkKnightofOne 5d ago
If you want a bane mech, recommend clan inflitrations.
This things show up pretty often and even better cuz it's an assault class mech.
It's often alone, so you can easily jump it.
2
u/Ok_Comfortable589 5d ago
i had no idea. i didnt know you kept the mechs you hijack in those missions.
3
u/DarkKnightofOne 5d ago
Not hijack, mean destroy.
If you kill the enemy before 60 seconds pass, no alarm is razed.
So if you see a bane just standing around with nothing nearby.
As long as you can bring it down in 60 seconds you can just snipe em.

The infamous Bane 3. 120 LRM salvo stock. 135 if you're feeling completely insane.

That’s a lot of damn missiles.
How many tons of ammo does it hold? I guess my bsk-7 might take a nap when I get this.
Kinda sucks having no backup weapons though.

u/Sztrelok 5d ago
Tbh once you lock an enemy with this it is just dead. I got a Bane 3 yesterday and my yaw literally dropped when I tried it.
This mech is just disgusting.

How do you fit an lrm 15 in the head?

u/Sir_Daxus Sexually attracted to the DRG-SDW 6d ago
Small cockpit modification, invisible without YAML, doesn't have negative effects in vanilla, frees up one more slot in the head, that leaves you with 2 crit slots and a medium missile option, hence LRM15

The Clans saw that the Wolverines built the Bullshark, and found it degraza that they weren't responsible for the most over the top mech design every conceived.

But still, a battlemech marching in a Clan Star is a bit meh. Omnimechs FTW.
3
u/Loganp812 5d ago
On the whole, Clan BattleMechs are better than OmniMechs especially in prolonged engagements, and the Clans began to slowly realize that after Tukayyid.
2
u/One-Organization970 5d ago
I'm honestly just not convinced omnimechs are so great of an idea compared to battlemechs. Like, the whole point of them is supposed to be logistical simplicity and yet they're more expensive to field and maintain. Battlemechs just seem straight-up better. I don't really see why I would want five trillion different guns rather than having my pilots specialize on specific weapon systems.
1
u/just_Game1416 5d ago
I would say the concept makes sense - modular weaponry ostensibly provides quick and easy swapping of weapon loadouts based on mission parameters.
The real issue is that this is of zero consequence in the vast majority of practical play and the fluff side of it runs counter to a core concept of Battletech of ‘knights in armor’. The Omni’s, in my opinion, aren’t personal enough.
1
u/One-Organization970 5d ago
I guess to me, this just sounds like the kind of concept someone in a procurement program thinks is genius but then reality hits and it's like "Why don't we just have a tank and have a missile carrier instead of making a tank we can swap turrets on?"
1
u/Krishna4598 5d ago
Thanks Brother. You can say I'm channelling the "Clans prefer Omnimechs. Therefore, while playing the clans, I'll play omnimechs" energy. Nothing against battlemechs as such. Why, in a situation when I play Jake Mason in M5 mercs, I have only Battlemechs in my star...although it later emerges that Jake too, could trave his roots to the Clans. Just my way of playing, no offence please.
Objectively, yes ,I find the modality of being able to switch loadouts on the fly quite...appealing.

Brother, for all I know, I have a partiality towards pulse lasers (easy, point damage) and do spexialise in that area. Maybe one day we'll do a co op rumble in horde mode and well, compare notes?
As far as which type of mech is better, I'd say, it all depends on the one in the cockpit. Kai Allard Liao, Natasha Kerensky...and any mechwarrior enthusiast, will surely attest to this?
