Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

The goal is to take people 'out of the element" and make designs they might not normally do.

So fire up HMPro, and give it a shot.

I'm limited to one entry.

But, truthfully, I think these things are open way too long. It's hard to stay interested when they progress so slowly. I also don't think submissions should be in the public eye until the contest is over.

I can shorten the length they're open, but I don't see how that would generate more entries...

As we have moved to "tournament legal" where do we stand on using custom weapons for things like HPPC, Plasma Rifle etc

They are tournament legal . . . Just make shore you've typed them in properly.

I will double check with the other judges, but my guess is as long as they are EXACTLY as they are supposed to be officially they would be legal to use.

Yep, provided that they are entered into HMPro with the correct specifications they're good to use.

I'm getting lots of questions about omni mechs...when they're legal in a contest, you'll know.

Will be up by tomorrow...we had a unavoidable delay but all the votes are in. Now we wait for a couple of hours to see which vote is eliminated, and then the final results will be known by about 2100 EST.

I'll post them as soon as I'm able

could we also have non-mech competitions? up to now 5/5 competitions are about mechs

#5 was going to be a non-mech contest, but because of lots of inquires about onmi-mechs lately we mixed up our order to get them next.

There will be non-mech contests coming up.

OK folks, here's the reason for the delay...

The person who collects the votes isn't answering e-mails...none of us know him "in real life" so we can't call him to ask what's up. So last night an e-mail went out to send our original votes on to another judge, who will release them to all of us as soon as he gets them all, with the no vote being eliminated this round.

A couple of the judges haven't sobered up yet from the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup, so that's why it's been slow

(I actually expect the results to be ready by tomorrow night)

rule question: a mixed unit does not have to be a combat unit?
but it has to be one each of the four, and four different designs?

would an artillery mech, a loader(industrial mech) an ammo truck and a spotter-vee be inside the rules?

As long as every piece of equipment is 3055 or earlier what you decide to do with the units is up to you.

i have not missed a single competition, why should i start now

i had pondered about replacing the MBT from last competitions trio with two mechs, but i prefer the unusual.

I have noticed a few designs with ER Medium Lasers that were not introduced until 3058.

i changed that. the ERML are not the key feature of that mech anyway, thank you

Industrialmechs and support vees cannot currently be created with the existing products. Since no record sheets can be provided, does this mean that such designs cannot be submitted?

If it can't be created with the HMprograms, it can't be used.

After a week off for the July 4th holiday contest 8 begins

http://www.heavymetalpro.com/forums/vie ... 14&t=20119

I suspect this one will generate a question or two

Yes, you can...but every unit after you add the JJ has to have them.

FA?

So "NO: Once you add JJs you're stuck with them". Bad phrasing on my part …

Fractional Accounting …

I think there have been designs that used it already....so "yes".
