    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    Yeah, I didn't remember whether it was him or his father Richard Cameron I who Amaris was involved with. Richard died of a heart attack at age 45, which even today would be weird.

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    The Amaris family originated on Terra, moving out to the RWR shortly after an assassination attempt on a Cameron Director of the Terran Hegemony. Don't remember if it was successful. The head of the house got married to the then-ruler of the RWR, and somehow they left the rulership to Amaris...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    Definitely the brand of missile launchers then. In that interlude, they were talking about taking the big LRM-20 racks out of the Longbow, and those were made by Holly.

    Are you talking about the brand name for missile launchers?

    Battletech Clover Spear - The War of 3056 (Battletech AU)

    Given the politics involved, Victor likely has to let Arthur fuck up in public before he can censure him, or even appear to censure Arthur by passing over him. Especially with Omi in the mix.

    Battletech Clover Spear - The War of 3056 (Battletech AU)

    Great updates, looking forward to the next. One thing though: Shouldn't that be Chancellor?

    Will it blend: Extreme ROB edition.

    Minimum of three. Vogons, maybe? Just to add more layers of raw hate and bad poetry. The Beast (Homeworld: Cataclysm), the Flood (Halo) and the Tyranids (Warhammer 40K). Drop the resultant unholiness onto Faerun, circa the Time of Troubles. Yamato (Kantai Collection), Yamato (Arpeggio of Blue...

    ROB gives you a spaceship, extreme kitbash edition.

    Going for some ships that have not yet been mentioned. Hell, settings not yet mentioned. - The Carbon-class battleplate UNS Shoemaker-Levy, from Schlock Mercenary - The Mirai battleship Emperor's Hope, from Perilous Waif - The Kylothian class-C (no name known) from Men In Black 2. (it's the one...

    My internet is terrible, and I needs the glorious 5G. Hit me.

    What If? You are dropped into the setting of the last game you played. What do you do?

    I plead guilty, your Honour. In the Tekkit mod, with twenty seven nukes. In my defence, it was a really nice crater.

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    I wonder if any of the things on the Catachan Core, like SL electronics, can hasten Katrina's Black Box project.

    What If? You are dropped into the setting of the last game you played. What do you do?

    Terraria. Probably build a treehouse.

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    If you mean Weber, he wasn't supposed to have a great amount of BT knowledge from the SI. He did know Comstar was dodgy as hell, and something about Word of Blake, but almost certainly didn't have a) any hard details that could be verified b) any way of getting such details to responsible...

    Battletech Story Brainstorming

    The easy way is to have a buried relay exist in an uninhabited system not far from Terra and have it link directly to Batarian space. I thought about suggesting the Charon relay, but I honestly think they'd have found that if it existed.

    Battletech Story Brainstorming

    Looks interesting. One thing you may need to consider is that your projected timeline has the Exodus making contact before the Morning War, if you count bacwards from the Reaper War.

    Battletech Story Brainstorming

    Yeah. Eezo's bullshit and inconsistency vs regular physics is the FASAnomics of the setting. Having not played Andromeda, is their drive charge thing needing to be installed on huge ships only, and/or fuckoff expensive?

    Battletech Story Brainstorming

    Another thing about ME non-relay FTL is that it builds up a static charge on the ship that has to be discharged. Cruiser weight and higher ships do this either at specialised discharge stations which are relatively rare, or in orbit of gas giants with strong magnetic fields. Frigates and smaller...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    So Katrina has an embarrassment of riches in the Longbow's tactical slot, and thus luxury to go hunting for "better or best" over "good enough"?

    I followed Speaker4thesilent when they stopped posting Welcome to the Jungle on SB. And thanks! Been rocking it for a while now. How's the radiation out your way?

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    There's about three years until that happens, and it may be that more and better armaments present in the LC discourages that. From memory, while they won, WD needed to do a resupply in Clanspace after that one - it was close even without foundtech proliferation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a WD...
