------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Built on the frame of a ageing Battlemaster the Blazefire Yosemmite Samm is a
custom mech used on solaris and is currentely among the top 10 in wins.
==Capabilities:==
the owner Vincent Carmicle has put a small fortune into the creation of the
Blazefire. A Small cockpit, armored cowl and improved Jump Jets along with
Triple Strength Mynomer make for a very leathal combination. Packing only one
long range weapon the Blazefire mounts an amazing number of small and medium
lasers to help soften up the target and keep the TSM nice and toasty. Interest
in the Blazefire by military officials has been minor but may prompt a
military version with out the hatchet.

According to my calculations, standing still and firing all the mediums and the large will put you high on the heat scale.
On the extreme end, alpha striking (which seems to be what its designed for) would mean that moments after hitting the trigger your mech would shut down.

Why not exploit the old Solaris 7 rules ?
MGs can fire 4 times a round.

It really seems like too many lasers on the chassis and the engine can cause additional problems, because it's vulnerable.

Technically speaking, that rule doesn't make sense. Damage for a weapon in Battletech takes into rate of fire. I mean, if a ERPPC had the same ROF as a small laser (The former is about 6-8 seconds, the latter is 2 or so), we'd be screwed.

The MGs have rapid-fire mode (lvl 3, p. 81 Maximum tech) MG does 1d6 damage and heat, and consumes 1d6 * 3 ammo (only one roll)

Bladewind was talking about the Solaris VII ruleset, where the 10 sec. round was broken down to (I think) 4 2,5 sec. rounds.
Some weapons could be fired in every of this rounds (like MG´s)!
But your heatsinks are only counted once in 4 rounds!
A former friend of mine had one of these boxes and I can´t remember all the details!

I know, rapid fire is just another option.

Im not familiar with the Solaris VII ruleset (never had it), but I have always been wondering about how long a turn was. Where'd ya find out?

also solaris range rules mean that MGs had a range of 300 metres. That floats my boat too.
The CBT RPG small laser only had 1500 range though.

I´ve no contact with my former friend any more and I havn´t a box in reach!
I think it´s a mere 12 years or so that I havn´t played with Solaris-rules so I can´t remember more of it!

Weren´t the hexes cut down from 30m diameter to 10 or 6 or so m?

Just a little off topic, but if all guns can fire four times per turn... vehicle... no heat from missiles and ballistic weapons... looks pretty nasty.

Not every weapon is able to fire each of the short rounds. PPC´s and I think missile-launchers need time to rearm.
