Internal Structure: Standard 75 points 4. Jimmy Meyer of Techwarrior 3031 piloted the new 'Mech for the popular Holovid show and reviewed the design positively.Ĭode: = No ComGuards mechwarriors have yet proven notable for their use of the Blackjack. With a low logistical footprint, it's popular with commanders who consider it sufficient to deal with the likely threats to facilities in or near the Periphery.
So far the BJ-1DA has only been seen on Terra and a few Explorer Corps bases, with deployment to Light Horse battalions where it supports light tanks and infantry. BattleTech is a game based on improvisation and adaptation: between finances, biome type, mission variety, and equipment availability, you’ll rarely if ever be fielding the ideal mix of. Remaining in motion is still the Locust's best defense. The machine guns have been swapped with two SRM-2 racks, at the cost of one ton of armor. Description The Locust 1S is the close-combat variant of the standard 1V model. If so, the exploits remain hidden behind ComStar's usual discretion. The Locust LCT-1S is a Light-class 'Mech in Battletech. Sume rumours suggest that the BJ-1DA is based on the personal variant of a ComGuards mechwarrior deployed to handle unrest on Terra in early 3030. There have been no offically reported uses of the Blackjack in action so far. In order to keep the BJ-1DA from overheating, advanced heatsinks are used and much of the freed up tonnage is devoted to this, with only a single ton of extra protection - although this approaches the limits of what the frame can carry. These offer longer range with the same hitting power as a large laser - or slightly more than the combined damage potential of the replaced Intek and removed Whirlwind-L autocannon combined. The other pair of Inteks, in the torso, are replaced with Blankenburg extended range lasers which are the new main weapons. The arms retain complete rotation, letting the pilot fire backwards with ease. This opened the opportunity for ComStar to request their own variant, the BJ-1DA, be that produced.ĬomStar's Blackjack removes the arm mounted autocannon entirely, leaving the arms as relative stubs containing only an Intek laser each. With the Blackjack out of production since 2796, the tooling had to be assembled from scratch. What they wanted was a reliable medium design: the sometimes maligned Blackjack. While General Motors expected that ComStar would wish to purchase their flagship 'Mech design, the Marauder, the ComGuards was satisfied with their heavy 'Mech sources. ComStar's Terran administration elected to purchase the factory under eminent domain and work out a deal with the previous owners, for the site had once been the centre of operations for General Motors - now a solely Federated Suns corporation. Not all of this went smoothly and Pandora MechWorks, whose factory in the city of Detroit had built the Puma tank for the SLDF, found themselves in significant legal difficulty.
In order to equip their expanded forces they began reactivating production facilities across the Solar System.
It occurred to me that there's a BJ-1DB and BJ-1DC, but no BJ-1DA so.Īfter the end of the Fourth Succession War, ComStar negotiated basing rights for the ComGuards at HPGs across the Inner Sphere.
