Darn it, I still can't install a copy of HMP.  Trying to do this with pen and pencil is one thing, but I would love to have something check the math for this.  Drakensis and I have nearly identical entries, anyway.
Download Solaris Skunk Werks instead. At least it is more up to date than HMP

Yeah Heavy Metal Pro is tough to install on today's PC unfortunately. Luckily I can still get a little something out of my old one.

Again if you have an identical entry please post it and why you think it is better than any other for its role. Team work is encouraged and if you don't like an idea tell us about that too.

If you can get it to work, which I can't. Something about registry errors.

EDIT: My entry has been entered in the placeholder above. I fear that I may have duplicated some of the others configurations. then again, great minds think alike, right.

I don't want to get off into a tangent but I prefer Heavy Metal Pro. Too bad development dried up on any newer versions, at least to my knowledge.

Nice entries Abele but the Light Active Probe is not available at this time. I will have to DQ that one. Time remains for u to modify it.

Still a few more days till the deadline folks and I wanted to link back to something from not all that long ago.

Master Arminas, who I hope we will hear more from very soon, had a great thread entitled As They Should Have Been. Basically it redesigned the core Clan OmniMechs for best possible performance. This comprehensive reimagining included the Fire Moth (Dasher) which we are currently looking at so here is the link below.

Two more days till we close this contest up. ;)

One quick question for future designs (Hellbringer, Gargoyle etc) Are we allowed to alter their stucture/armour or must it purely be weapons? Because things like the Hellbie and Garg would benefit immensely from endo-steel to give them more tonnage for things like weapons or armour, especially the Hellbringer who's armour is mostly tinfoil and well wishes.

Nope. Such modifications would be too extensive for simple refits. Besides that is why the Hellbringer was replaced by the Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron Born) during the early Quicksilver decisions. Yes that was a controversial decision that some Clans did their best to ignore but the Helbie and Nova (Black Hawk) were discontinued.

One thing I never understood about the Cauldron is that its totted as being survivable, its barely got more armour than a Hellbringer :s

I never said it was perfect my friend just that it was better. ;)

About twelve and a half hours left for anyone interested in getting an entry in for the contest.
