Royal Black Knight
« on: June 14, 2011, 04:11:16 PM »

Hey gang, while working on another idea I put together this idea for a SLDF Royal Black Knight. I couldn't find any canon attempts to do so. Let me know what you think.

Design Notes - My proposed Royal variant of the Black Knight. AKA the Royal Knight. Replaced the standard Vlar 300 Fusion engine with a GM 375 XL enabling greater movement. Mech can now go 5/8 instead of 4/6. Heat Sinks were doubled and fit thanks to larger engine. Extended Range (ER) versions replace the standard PPC and 2 Large Lasers of the BL6-KNT. Dropped Beagle Active Probe to make room for these modifications.

Code: [Select]
Type: Black Knight Royal
Mass: 75 tons
Tech & Era: Inner Sphere / 2750
Config & Rules: Biped 'Mech / Level 2
Movement: Walk: 5 Run: 8 Jump: 0
Design Status: VALIDATED

BL-6b-KNT - Used by the SLDF Royal BattleMech regiments, the 6b upgraded the dissipation system with double heat sinks and used the tonnage saved to upgrade the Large Lasers to Large Pulse Lasers. In addition, the PPC is upgraded to an ER PPC.

Check with Ice or Myself between us we usually have the answer or know where to look, but very good effort.

Yeah, there's a handful of Royal variants mentioned in 3050U, as variants in the Star League section. Black Knight, King Crab, can't remember the rest of the top of my head. They really are scattered over three books.

Honestly, it kinda takes the methodical, hard-to-kill flashbulb and turns it into a quicker, yet more fragile wimp. Then again, that's what happens when you slap an XL engine in a moderately armored torso.

Catapult springs to mind.

Well being a speed demon

XL are great to increase speed and/or firepower but makes 'Mechs more fragile.
This is exactly what happens to your Royal Black Knight.
