#BATTLETECH DROPSHIP UPGRADE#

Although the far larger Overlord was not significantly better armored or gunned than the Overlord, it is capable of carrying a full Battalion of 36 Battlemechs (while the Clan upgrade was capable of carrying up to 45В—an entire Cluster). During the later Clan era, it would be replaced by the Overlord-class as the military troopship of choice. Able to carry a company of twelve Battlemechs, the Union was typically able to deliver В‘sufficientВ’ forces to garrison worldsВ—and was the most common DropshipВ—during the 3025 era. A military dropship will almost always be specialized to carry some combination of В‘Mechs, Vehicles, Infantry, and/or Aerospace fighters, the most-common Union-class is primarily a Battlemech hauler. The most important is factor is, simply, carrying capacity.

There are several factors that make the common Military transports superior to their less-common competition. The most commonly-mentioned Dropships are the military ones, which are predominantly spheroids (due to their greater hauling capacity, superior weapon coverage, and ability to transport Battlemechs) and of those the Leopard, Union, and Overlord (and their Clan refits) are the most common with other military-capable vessels such as the Excalibur and Fortress vessels being far less common. The smallest dropships are unable to carry any В‘Mechs, while the largest, the Behemoth, is incapable of entering a planetВ’s atmosphere due to hull stresses (rendering its classification as a В‘dropshipВ’ a bit misleading). Spheroid ships are more prevalent, since they make better use of space and can therefore carry more cargo while Aerodyne ships are smaller, usually winged, and have better performance in atmospheres. Dropships in battletech come in two forms: Spheroid like the Union-class Euphrates, and Aerodyne like the Leopard-class Tigris from our mission with the Second Donegal Guards. In its most basic form, the Dropship is simply a platform which lifts a cargo from a planetВ’s surface into space (and vice versa). The Dropship is a surprisingly simple vehicle.

She also reveals that the ship you just destroyed wasn't necessarily a smuggling vessel - but the mysterious cargo is small price to pay for the support of House Karosas.Part 757: DropShips 101 Dropship Troopers Part 1 of ?

Not only is lord Karosas satisfied with the quid pro quo, you have also managed to capture Lady Espinosa and put her in the brig onboard the Argo.Make sure you bring at least two heavy mechs or you will be outclassed. The kill team can be a major pain to take care of properly, so prioritize declawing them - take out the lighter mechs and then focus on crippling the larger ones. Heavy lance consists of Firestarter FS9-H, Centurion CN9-A, Dragon DRG-1N, and Catapult CPLT-K2, led personally by Lady Victoria Espinosa. Light lance consists of Commando COM-2D, Panther PNT-9R, Shadow Hawk SHD-2H, and Wolverine WVR-6R Melee fighters with flamers are particularly effective.Дestroying the initial defending lance and turrets is not required, but any remaining mechs make the fight with the heavy lance that much harder. (The heavy lance will also arrive when three turns remain on the timer.) As this is a hot map, take cool running mechs. After destroying the objective, a heavy lance drops in that must be eliminated. The initial objective is to destroy the fuel depot before a turn timer runs out. In return, Lord Karosas has promised to set his hostility to Lady Arano aside, stemming from the suffering brought upon his family by the Directorate and the loss of his children, and decipher the hidden drive found onboard the Argo. Since 'Mechs can't attack Newgrange directly due to its armor, your goal is to attack the refueling depot used by the DropShip. Unofficially, it's a gunrunning ship delivering weapons and 'Mechs to the Directorate. Officially, the ship is certified for commercial flights in the Directorate, the Capellan Confederation, and the Taurian Concordat. Your goal is the destruction of an enemy DropShip, the Newgrange.
