Mech - Crest3 AC Missile Dragoon

thingiverse

This is the Crest3 AC Missile Dragoon, piloted by a Crazy Officer.. Updated Design to be less fragile! I've been wanting fun models to play Lancer with. I then set about building a model based on Crest. What would be more deranged pilot with more licenses be piloting for that Corp? This mech has more advanced Crest parts for arms / legs / core/ head / etc. They also have a serious upgrade on internal equipment. On the legs, they are using the hardest reverse leg systems this pilot has access to. Reverse-jointed ACs tend to have a lower carrying capacity; they can also jump higher. They are not as well-armored as bipeds, have less cooling, and lower defensive stability. However, reverse-jointed legs drain less energy from the generator than other leg types, and have the best boost effectiveness while airborne. The crazy guy in this AC wants to deploy a missile circus on targets below him. He has a fast long range lock on systems with a narrow band. The AC has swapped out traditional arms and weapon systems for missile launch pods. They also have ground torpedo extensions that can fire in tandem with the missiles launch from their arms or their shoulders. The ground torpedoes are great for catching swift ACs who might be able to dodge the initial 8 missiles launched. Like to think this could be a lancer who is mad with letting loose rockets. This model has survived over 30 crashes in Netfabb over several days. The final model was made in under an hour, and it's been a great learning process for making a more airtight, streamlined model with a single shell. Though it's been remade countless times I suspect the model still isn't perfect, feel free to improve / fix. It's a lot more closer to my standard tho, than AC1 and AC2. I'm tempted to apply what I learned to make those models again at a higher standard.
