Why go for mixed tech?

the actual Atlas III already was mixed tech using the Missiles ... and I needed the weight and space so I used a Clan XL engine on top of that

But using only one tech makes it more challenging.

cool design, it strikes me as funny that mine is still cheaper then yours in terms of c bills :P


Icey, you are absolutly right, a Single Tech base would have been more challenging to make, and I did let things slip because the Canon Atlas II was mixed tech already.

then again, there is that little thing on the back of TRO 3145 that makes mixed tech tournament legal... if you are willing to pay the higher BV and C Bill cost :P

Well an Atlas needs to be the biggest, most brutal 'Mech around. Cost is entirely secondary.

I did consider using Hardened Armour but max-coverage with that is eyewatering amounts of tonnage...
