General Details
Name: Heavy PPC
Type (Category): Weapon (Energy)
Reference: TechManual (p. 234)
Description:
The Combine was on a veritable PPC binge in the early months of 3067, with several variant models under development and even shared with the Free Worlds League in a dubious tech trade. Reportedly, Coordinator Theodore Kurita was aware of the deal, but was trying to shield the project from the new Star League’s prying eyes. Whether the Coordinator did this to preserve Combine security or merely to test the reborn Star League’s intelligence capability is anyone’s guess.
The heavy PPC was an effort to match the destructive force of the Clan ER PPC without overloading a BattleMech’s heat sink system. The weapon achieves this effect, but at a cost in range, tonnage and size. The heavy model is nearly half again as massive as the standard and ER models, and has the same range profile as the standard PPC—complete with focusing issues at distances of less than 90 meters.
Game Rules:
PPCs may not be fired if the unit is shut down or if its pilot/crew is otherwise prevented from acting.
