Lion DropShip - a slight modification
« on: November 03, 2012, 02:05:19 PM »
I was looking at the Lion DropShip and I wondered how a mix between the IS one and the Wolf's Dragoons one would be, ie one with 8 'Mechs and 12 Heavy Vehicles transport capacity.

A simple calculation (and probably a wrong one) tells me that you need to double the weight of the Vehicle Bay, which means 12*50 = 600 tons more, which would leave me with a 1,825.5 tons cargo bay.

Is that right?

Would this change be easy to do or would the DropShip have to go to a Shipyard?

Dropping the two Mechs from the Dragoons-Variant leaves you with 1729 tons of cargo

As for the stamdard version, making the necessary changes in the bays without changing the weapons leaves you with 1736 tons according to HMAero

Strange since I just took the added weight from the cargo one and our maths don't agree.
