The 3rd thing you need to figure out is the armor that you wish to use on your mech for this I am listing several types of armor from http://www.alaska.net/~knight/amc.html he has come up with and one I created. His rules are fabulous cheeck them out.

Now to figure out how much armor you want, you need to add the armor you want for all locations(head,arms,legs,main body,etc...)then using the figures next to the MDC Point factor will give you the number points you need to buy to get that many MDC.
 
 

( example: So if you want 400 MDC of Glitter Boy/MA Crystal Blend armor you take the 400 divided by 2.00 which equals 200 pnts rounded.)
 
 
 
 

**This is the price for the type of armor you wish to use per 15 pounds of armor. The higher number for the metal is for having the metal put on a chassis by a qualified person able to do it (example:an operator, an armorer, etc..).
 
 

Once you have figured how many points you need from the previous table you take that # and multiply it by the credits presented here for the metal you chose that will give the credit cost for the armor. Next you need to take the same # from the previous table and multiply that # by 15 to figure out how many pounds you need then divide by 2000 to figure the tonnage.
 
 

So from the example above you would take 572 times 22500 which equals 12,870,000 credits.

Then, you take 572 times 15 which equals 8580, divide that by 2000 which equals 4.5 tons rounded up.
