Life Hoists
This is piece equipment to allow 'Mechs, Support Vehicles, and other types vehicle types to handle cargo via a lifting mechanizm. This piece equipment usually increase the speed of moving the cargo.
Typically style for this piece equipment varies. Examples such as; chain and pully method, high-tension cables and myomer powered claw-like specialty lifters.
Arresting Hoist
Arresting Hoists are typical variant of the lift hoist, which used to reeling from aircraft in atmosphere to a AirShip to a DropShip reeling in small spacecraft other vehcles into it fighter or small craft bays. However, it is noted that this method is considered hazardous at times.
Specifics
- Unit Restrictions:
- Lift Hoist: All units may use it except: ProtoMechs, fighters (conventional and Aerospace), Small Craft and DropShips
- Arresting Hoists: Are restricted to only Airship Support Ships, Fixed-Wing Air Support Ships, VTOLs (Combat & Support VTOLs) & DropShips.
Game Rules
- Life Hoists: Lift Hoist maybe used by only if the unit is active & if pilot is able to act.
- Arresting Hoists: This equipment allows Fixed-Wing Air Support Vehicles, DropShips, VTOL (Combat & Support VTOLs), and Airship Support Ships to bring to retrieve fighters. This is only effect as long the unit remains active and pilot/crew is able to act.
Construction Rules
Lift Hoists
'Mechs (Industrial or BattleMech) may mount up to two Lift Hoists in either arms or their Torsos. Combat & Support Vehicles can mount up four standard lifts which are restricted to body of vehicle. VTOLs may mount them anywhere but the mainbody.
Arresting Hoists
These devices may only be equiped one per the Airship Support Vehicle's vehicle cubicle that intended to being aireborne docking of airborne craft.
Notes
Critcal slots of arresting hoists for anything equiped with a fight/small craft bay are part of the bay itself.[1]
