10 March, 3046
Unit makes landfall on Thirtyweight

This means you have from 5 December to 15 December (inclusive) to make any Factory refits or customizations AND update your post in the Custom Mechs thread.
You then have from 16 December - 9 March to make any customizations requiring Maintenance Facilities to any Mechs which are NOT being carried as Cargo.

I'll leave this up for a few days, and then I'll start the actual Contract Log thread and generate Mission 1.

Are we not breaking out the advanced money for the 15th?

[Darrian Wolffe]

Are we not breaking out the advanced money for the 15th?

Yes, you get the advance money, but I don't know what the CO plans to do with it, so Lance Leaders might not see that money.

[Ice]

did we figure out the whole situation with the mech bay space

[Timberwolfd]

I'll edit stuff this evening. Expect a small payment to make sure everyone has payroll funds. Not a large payment though. The unit will be tightfisted until we get another dropship.

[Darrian Wolffe]

did we figure out the whole situation with the mech bay space

Reaper and Bright Lance are essentially "ignored" while they're gone; you aren't responsible for their transport or paying them or anything.  

That brings the unit size back to 9 lances exactly, but many lances have more than 4 Mechs, plus the Unit Reserve.  So some units will have to be carried as cargo.

[deadlyfire2345]

I would like to swap out the SHS to DHS in my Archer so my other 5 mechs can go into storage for now after the rifleman is completed on the 27th. The Archer will be fully repaired on 1/3 and I will start customizing on 1/4.
My main 4 (Cataphract, Grasshopper, Vindicator, and Cicada) are all ready to go and can be placed into storage until further notice.)

[Ice]

i would like to have space for the enforcer to convert back to SHS, strip weapons, and install stuff to make weight to sell

this can always be done on planet though so its not a big priority although i would like to get it done sooner than later considering the space issue considering it needs a tn9 it will end up being 66 days when its said and done


also how does the lack of space impact maintenance

[Timberwolfd]

Mechs that travel as cargo are hard shut down and effectively inaccessible. This means that they can't be hot dropped and that they have to be unloaded (we have to have landed and not be under immediate attack) before they can be used. So if you are planning to work on a mech, it will have to be one of your 4 "primary" mechs. Your primary mechs are the ones in the 4 mech cubicles actually assigned to your lance. This creates the very real chance that your lance may need to drop in an undesirable configuration, based on your choices of mechs to load as cargo vs. as primary.

Dunedain Lance will be loading with Dunedain 1 (Crusader #1) in cargo while the new salvaged Crusader (#2), which just had its engine changed, has its weapons modified. My Thunderbolt, Shadow Hawk and Firestarter will round out my primary mechs. If we need to hotdrop, I will not have access to Crusader #1. If we land and are under immediate attack, I will not have access to Crusader #1. Any time after that, I will have normal access.

As for cargo mechs requiring maintenance, I would assume that either you have bored techs squeezing into the cargo bays for something to do or that hard shutdown mechs do not need appreciable maintenance. Rob, will have final say, of course.

[Darrian Wolffe]

It doesn't.

Also, what Jon very accurately said.

[deadlyfire2345]

Okay. For Dragon Lance. Cicada, Vindicator, Cataphract, and Archer will be in the 4 main pods. I will adjust the repair dates when possible for rifleman.

[Ice]

ok thats what i figured for both

ill work on the stripping of enforcer now it will be done before lift off then placed into cargo


---enforcer successful strip will be placed in cargo hold and will be started for phase 2 of mod after arrive

[Timberwolfd]

Please list all of your mechs and indicate whether the mech is one of your 4 mechs in a mech bay or will be carried as cargo. Only mechs in a mech bay may be customized, hot dropped, or involved in missions immediately upon landing.
