The Four Kings: 2 of 4 DAO-O1 Dao
« on: April 04, 2016, 01:33:02 PM »

Overview: The Gun was a Runaway success for Ceres Metals.  not only was thier new design flooding the Confederation Reserve Cavalry, but Numerous other groups, from the Rim Commonality to Clan Sea Fox had been making purchase inqueries for the small relativly inexpensive design.  the thought of an Omnimech as a Milita vehicle then a front line combatant seemingly turned the Military industrial complex on it's head overnight, and Ceres sought to Capitalize on this new market by creating three other new machines, one for each weight class.

if the Gun was said to bear a resemblence to the Locust, the Vindicator was the clear ancestor to the Dao.  armored to the hilt like it's predecessor, and utilizing a standard engine for durability, each configuration of the Dao is meant to be a utility fighter, be it a line mech, a fire support platform, or even a light artillery piece.

Daos are being sent to every Confederation Reserve Cavalry regiment, and the St ives lancers have made numerous requests as well.  most interestingly several Warrior houses have requested examples for thier young initiates as well.

While a make it a policy to withhold comment on Dark Age designs as I don't know that much of the era this one seems very good. Love the name (Dao very Capellan), the basis (Vindicator very Capellan), and feel which is very generic except for the gyro and cockpit. Perfect fit for the CCAF which could use a workhorse like this. Nice job!

the goal is to create mechs to accompany the Gun from TRO 3145/3150

the Gun was a 20 tonner that looks vaugly locust like, but moves at a 5/8 and has 10 tons for Pod Space.  the Gun in particular is infantry and vehicular support, so I wanted to make the Dao a dedicated BATTLE mech.  the Jian, my next design is a definitve officers machine and heavy bruiser, something that would not be made in LARGE numbers.  Finally the Qiuang is a fire support machine to support them all

Not a fan of the RAC config I'd rather use the Capellan AC hyper velocity? 

Otherwise I'll steal a lance

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Cappelans have RACs, as evidenced by the Vandal.  plus it is an anti tank configuration, using high volume of fire to disable through crits.  also it looks like a Blackjack.
