I assume that the rest of the Aurigan Province is following Coromodir's example, if a few years behind. If with less active support for those policies. With most systems having either a repair yard or plans for one, along with small hospital stations near the jump points. Granted, their...

That I can understand, I was expecting most of the House Lords to try and buy one for their heirs, but not for anyone else. It is likely way to expensive for even limited by the House armies use (flagship dropship for special units). Even for the The Revenants its more of a status thing ("see...

I have the feeling that the Block 2 is going to stay in small scale production due to orders by various groups. Chandrasekhar is likely to get one as a gift from the MC as a combination of "thank you good business partner" and advertising as he re-gifts it to a family member who will get more...

Reposting from BattleTech since you posted the above there as well. With others refuting your comment. Thing is that with BT level of tech, its easy to mine in space. Sure you'll have to provide habitation, but you would have to do that on a planet. We just call those buildings (and all...

Well, that maybe explained away as no one has spent the time trying to get those weight savings into LAMs, since it would mess up the balance of thing and you would have to spend a lot of time trying to account for the changes in balance when the LAM transformed. Speaking for myself, I don't...

Possibly, a couple more options are they can't protect it, move enough people to colonize it, or the planets are only marginally habitable and they don't have the tech/resources to terraform them.

Not to mention BT encryption seems to be rather shitty. Decent, IRL encryption for financial transactions, would need a couple billion years of CPU time to break it. I guess the centeralized processing that BT has rather limited the need for encryption, compared to IRL, where everyone has...

Well, they may try, but even the Dragoons will have trouble raiding Hesperus earlier. Even as the Lyrans start putting out more mechs, and already have a handful of advanced mechs built with more on the production lines. Even if the Dragoons succeed in, if not capturing some of the tech...

He is, his current plan is for tech certifications. Then to have it naturally expand into a more engineering university that covers all the lost tech they they build.

Well, Mr. Torgue in Borderlands is viewed as a mostly normal person and he is even more obsessed with EXPLOSIONS!

[joking?] Nah, as a good Ba that isn't an option. Now if love blooms, that is one thing, but no politics. Thankfully, as a good Ba, there are many options for love to bloom. If that fails, just use the supernatural powers of a good Ba to bully her into accepting you as a adopted Ba. Edit...

Well, tells you how important the Coordinator is taking this. I wonder how much of the Dragon's might is being sent off in this direction. Not to mention that name for the Combine... Siriwan McAllister The shear industrial power the Combine is pushing out there, the ability to build masses...

It looks to be an issue of out of pocket payments. Likely something like going to a mechanic that will try to get you to fix things that aren't broken, so they will earn more. Since they're pay is so low, they try to get the patient to take additional treatments to increase the amount they...

I'm guessing that is why the Taurian soap operas are such a big deal. Most/All dictatorial states tend not to produce good entertainment. I don't think it was just the Federated Suns upset, but I do think that they were the easiest target for everyone else to blame. A un-surprising number of...
