Assets are uniquely named, so you can run together, but I'd recommend switching over to the YAISM version (STRIP ANY YOU MAY HAVE PRIOR TO DEACTIVATING THIS ONE, IT WILL DISAPPEAR)
Decided to have a crack at making a mech. Settled on the Rifleman III, for some reason. Based from a rescale of the standard Rifleman, utilising the YAML mod suite to bring it to life!
For those unfamiliar with this absurdity, the usurper Stefan Amaris, while he was ruining the Star League in 2776, decided he wanted some fancy mechs. Some didn't work, others did function. The Rifleman III was once such mech. The RF-2A was an upsized Rifleman, weighing in at 90 Star League tons, and sporting four gauss rifles, as well as the Null Signature System (NSS) stealth system - at the cost of very mediocre armour, a truly miserable XL180 engine (you aren't overtaking that urbie) and a sparse two tons of ammunition, as well as no backup weapon systems to fall back on.
Despite these shortcomings, as well as being a prototype rushed onto the battlefield, it performed exceptionally well, recording 9 kills of SLDF BattleMechs before being destoyed.
Requires YAML.
Thanks to cszolee79 and trueg for YAML, and trueg again for the tutorials that made it possible for me to put this mod together at all.
Also thanks mace and jackalope for the mech database stuff, and deadraiser for the paintjob help.
