Goliath II (FuH)

==Description==
The Goliath II in Superheavy Class Quad (four leg) BattleMech which is found in story created by fan writer, evilauthor. This design unique employs homebrew Experimental Technology.
===Overview===
As with many Lyran Superheavy mechs, Lyran engineers looked to a successful pre-existing Assault mech and designed a bigger version of it. Like the original Goliath, the Goliath II is desiged with a single heavy energy weapon and a battery of long ranged missile racks.
The GOL-3SHb is a new upgrade over the older GOL-3SH, incorporating new and currently exclusive Lyran technologies: heavy Triple Strength Myomer designed specifically for Superheavy mechs and an automatic temperature control system that keeps the Myomer warm enough at all times without excessively overheating the mech so that it remains operating at full strength without the pilot needing to micromanage their heat sinks.
==Armament and Equipment==
Powered by 360-Rated Light Fusion Engine, this titan is not as fast as smaller machines. However, the 180 ton machine's engineers saw fit to fitted out with exotic super heavy version of TSM with temperature Control computer to regulates mechs heat needs to activate the TSM to allow for small increase of speed similar to the 100 ton Annihilator. The mighty quad 'mech has 18 Double Heat Sinks. It's hull is protected by 36 tons of standard armor.
Intended as long-range fighter, the GOL-3SHb is has array of long-range missile weapons, and a primary extend energy weapon. The machine features a Quad BattleMech Turret which allows quad Superheavies be able train weapons in this turret in any direction like a Tank. In this Quad turret is a single single Extended Range 20-tubed Long Missile Launcher, a unique Extended Range Heavy PPC. Additionally, two of the Range 15-tubed Long Range Missile launchers mounted in each of it's side torsos. A pair of extended range Small Pulse Lasers, fitted to the Mech's quad turret to handle close range defense.
Each of the Goliath II's Long Range Missile launchers has four tons ammunition, with two tons split between side torsos with Extended Range having one ton similarly placed. These ammunition bins are provided extra protection with CASE II, which contains explosions from spreading and destroying entire torso sections.

==Unique Technology Note==
*Super Heavy TSM - Triple Strength Myomer designed for Super Heavy Mechs. Behaves like regular TSM, but for Superheavy mechs. Occupies 6 Superheavy Crit Slots. For stability reasons, calculate Gyro weight for max Walking speed achievable when SHTSM is activated (SHMech tonnage x TSM active walk / 50) and round up to nearest half ton.
*TSM Temperature Control System - A combination of heating elements embedded into Triple Strength Myomer plus a computer control system to automatically monitor and control a mech's internal heat. When turned on, the Control System raises the mech's temperature to the minimum 9 heat required to activate TSM and prevents it from falling below that. System detects other heat sources and will reduce output of heating elements and activate heat sinks as necessary to prevent heat from rising above 9 heat, so a mech will not get hotter than 9 heat per turn unless other sources of heat generate more than 9 heat. The TSM-TCS adds 2 extra TSM crits for regular mechs and 2 SHTSM crits for Superheavy mechs. A temperature control computer occupying 1 crit may be placed anywhere on the mech, which if critted will disable the system reverting the Myomer and internal heat sinking back to standard behavior. The entire system all together weighs 1 ton. The control system may only be turned on/off during movement phase and only before movement is declared.
*ER Heavy PPC - Heavy version of the Enhanced ER-PPC. Same range brackets. Does 18 damage per hit.
==Notes==
*In Fighting UpHill, these Superheavy BattleMechs are production designs using unique technology.
*As of this writing, there is no published record sheet. MegaMek will not allow custom technologies to be used. Only Tabletop usage is possible with this design.
