Okay, here's my ~200 CP "entry" (though it's not what I originally said I would like to take...). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Cannoneer Cost: 196.9 CP Weight: 32.6t Scale: 1/1 Configuration MV Land MA Humanoid -1 5 Servos: Location Class Kills Space/Left Cost | Head Str 3 3/2 3 | Torso MS 6 12/0 8 | R Arm MS 4 6/0 5 | L Arm MS 4 6/0 5 | R Leg Str 4 4/0 4 | L Leg Str 4 4/0 4 | Cost: 29 CP Weight: 12.5t Sensors: Sensor Type Range Comm Kills Location Cost Space Main Str 4km 800km 1 Head 2 1 Cost: 2 CP Weight: 0.5t Weapons: Name WA Rng Dmg Sht Kills BV CP Space Loc Notes 2xHands +0 1K+1 1 1.8 1 A,A Quick, Handy 2xB.

In my search for ever-better survival methods, I came across scatter missiles. Since my mecha doesn't have any beam weapons, it could just pop out a scatter cloud and sit in the middle of it--so much for 20K megabeams. The cannon was sort of tacked on to the rest of the design; after taking care of defensive measures, I realized I had no idea what the offensive systems should be. With -1MV, the scatter missiles, and the beam shields, this thing should be able to sit somewhere and shoot people (note the lack of a propulsion system). Any comments? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
