Legit Link in Email (Promotion ID 18002804) — https://store.pentontech.com/index.cfm?s=9&cid=220&promotionid=18002804&code=

Now start screwing with the querystring. Some promotion ids redirect to other promotion ids. 128 and 18002792 are particularly good. 18002792 has $10 for 1 year subscription of the Zinio-DRM digital edition of SQL Server Magazine. 128 has $30 to all the print magazines, but the biggie is $30 to the Master CDs and $140 for the Windows IT Pro VIP CD - The Whole Enchilada (Legit link is $280)

Promotion ID 128 - https://store.pentontech.com/index.cfm?s=9&cid=220&promotionid=128&code=

Promotion ID 18002792 - https://store.pentontech.com/index.cfm?s=9&cid=220&promotionid=18002792&code=

Oh a bad ID is blank content with a order form. The Redirects to Promotion ID 128 is intentional. They must be smart to market to querystring munchkins

I think I will use both 18002804 for the print and Itzik Ben-Gan black-belt CD and then use 128 to get the SQL Master CD for 30 bucks. Itzik Ben-Gan is getting too much attention. I want Joe Celko to get some fame too. Hopefully with less need of corporate tyranny too. All of Ben-Gan’s books (Plus Inside SQL Server 2005 Storage Engine) are rampant on eMule, all unauthorized, leaked e-Books direct from microsoft employees.

Got two munchkinning guides (Same as the two posted earlier below), 12 battlemechs, and 1 character for you all. Cost wasn’t prioritized much in the design, but two ended up better off without XL engines and thus are economical . Huaman Leung Chung, the MechWarrior (CBT:RPG) character pilots the BobCat. I intended him to pilot the Zephyr but he rolled a ZPH-1A Tarantula for his military-issued ‘Mech so I had to change his owned, inherited Mech to the BobCat, which is a Lion downgraded to 35 tons and turned out to be better overall than the Lion (The Quark is a quick 12MP addon to round out the design count at 12).

The BVs are quite high. The Tarrasque has more BV than any of FanPro or FASA’s stock BattleMechs, while Shredder, Punisher, and Blaster Master exceed all but the two Pillager designs. I am assuming that FanPro’s current Master Battle Value Tables 3.0 are using BV2 (Total Warfare) rather than the original BV system (Master Rules) as these ‘Mechs’ BVs are calculated according to BV2 from the TechManual. Most of these Mechs munchkin on gauss rifles and medium lasers though some go with rotary AC or melee or ER-PPC. Shredder (TSM for hatchet), and expecially Blaster Master (TSM for mobility) can precisely control their heat scales to keep it right at 9 for maximum utilization of their Triple-Strength-Myomer.

Notes:

*Tarrasque, Punisher, Shredder, Blaster Master, Cyborg, Disciple, and Falcon have C3i computers.
C3i computers add 5% of the BV of all connected lancemates to its own BV at combat-time.

*These BattleMechs were designed by and their costs + battle values (BV2) were calculated according to the rules
in Classic Battletech TechManual (FanPro 35103; Buy PDF; Buy HardCopy; Buy Both; Download ED2K) and Classic
Battletech Total Warfare (FanPro 35101; Buy PDF; Buy HardCopy; Buy Both; Download ED2K).

*Quark, Tacht, BobCat, Zephyr, Aero, Disciple, and Cyborg have XL gyros.
Also, BobCat, Zephyr, and Falcon have Light Ferro-Fibrous Armor.
XL Gyros and Light Ferro-Fibrous Armor wer formerly level 3 tech items from the ‘Master Rules’ /
‘Maximum tech’ era that were moved to level 2 in the current ‘Total Warfare’ era.  Other things
that got promoted were improved jump Jets, compact fusion engines, compact and heavy-duty gyros,
targeting computers, and heavy ferro-fibrous armor.

Highlights:

Highest BV:                 Tarrasque
Highest Defensive BV:       Shredder
Highest Raw Weapon BV:      Tarrasque
Highest Offensive BV:       Tarrasque
Easiest Heat Management:    Blaster Master (by Range-Group)
Highest BV/ton:             Zephyr
Highest Defensive BV/ton:   Lion
Highest Weapon BV/ton:      Tarrasque
Highest Offensive BV/ton    Zephyr
Most Cost Effective $/ton:  Shredder
Most Cost Effective $/BV:   Zephyr
Most Cost Effective $/D-BV: Shredder
Most Cost Effective $/W-BV: Tarrasque
Most Cost Effective $/O-BV: Zephyr

Some charts have more than 10 because of variations and revisions of the base design. In these, I ‘kept going’ until there was at least 10 unique base designs in the chart.  Only Inner Sphere ‘Mechs are included.

A bit, after seeing Brian Sugrim in michigan 8/11-8/15 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, I got back into BattleTech a little bit, mostly on influence on his 5-year old son being big into transformers. The tangent is that BattleMechs are largely humanoid, and in the case of Land-Air ‘Mechs, they are transformers as well, but piloted war-machines rather than self-sentient robots. Imperial Walkers in Star Wars (AT-AT and AT-ST) could be technically BattleMechs also, but much heavier. I havn’t touched my BattleTech stuff much since I was 19 or 20 (1994-1996). I only have the boardgame, Compendium, and Mechwarrior RPG, but now, I have nearly every BattleTech book now (some hoarded back in 2004 but a lot of new ones recently), in PDF, thanks to eMule!

I made a max-tonnage for a desired movement rate munchkinning guide for you BattleMech designing munchkins like me. Pick the engine type (Normal, Light , eXtraLight, eXtra-eXtraLight), and a movement rate. Then get the max total ‘Mech tonnage that you can have with that movement rate before you actually start losing tonnage available to armor, weapons, electronic warfare, and other eqipment rather than gaining due to the tonnage increase from the engine (fusion reactor) + gyro + internal structure exceeds the tonnage increase of the overal unit. You can have a lower weight BattleMech for the given movenet rating, but not higher, else you will have LESS space for weapons and such rather than MORE.
