I'm finding myself deeply irritated with BattleTech WarShip sizes. Specifically, I started trying to model several WarShips with the plan in mind of 3D printing them and having myself a nice fleet for a scenario I cooked up. The problem is how whack the sizes are. Yes, BattleTech has always...

Well as I pointed out upthread, Comstar can be considered generally meritorious anti-furries for their stern stance in preventing the clans from importing furry culture. The Word of Blake is even more morally upright for attempting to genocide the entire Inner Sphere, which as noted are almost...

Well looked at logically, the Capellans are undeniably the best faction, and the most human of all. That is to say, they're the least furry of course. Free Worlds League: I'm not entirely sure they really exist, but if they did, the eagle avatar indicates they're bird-themed furries. Taurians...

Mechanically: 9 Tons 4 Crits 12 Damage a blistering 16 Heat 220 BV Same range as a large laser or AC/10: 5/10/15 Edit: Worth noting they also make Infantry versions, which are really good. The Blazer pistol is straight up the best laser pistol in the game, outside of niche situations I'd say...

So, getting away from the furry discussion where I've probably shitposted enough, a while back I noticed that the UrbanMech can be modified to replace it's main weapon with a Blazer and actually profit from it, despite the Blazer being one of the worst weapons in all of BattleTech. I was...

False comparison, the National Guard do actual Military things while Call of Duty is a game. We can fairly say that somebody who engages in military duties daily is more of a military veteran than the National Guardsman, and the person who plays Call of Duty every day is more of a gamer than...

And yet cobras are strongly associated with spritualism and worship, all over the world. Ancient Egyptian worship involved cobras, especially worship of Ra, Wadjet, Renenutet, Nehebkau, and Meretseger. Cobras are associated with Vishnu and Shiva in Hinduism, and a human-faced cobra is commonly...

Lolwut? The furry fandom got its start in the 70s, and in the early 90s when the Clans were first published the furry fandom was at its highest popularity. They'd taken over a range of message boards and were huge on the internet. Sites like Something Awful didn't come online until 1999 and...

Yeah, most people don't realize but the Exodus happened because the House Lords learned what a raging furry Nicholas Kerensky was and they dissolved the Star League just to make sure his influence wouldn't spread. Aleksandr fled the Inner Sphere to hide the shame of it but then he died and...

The ceremonial uniform consist of leather and synthetic wolf fur trimming with an enameled wolf mask. The standard uniform for those who lack a Bloodname, is an emerald green jumpsuit with knee-high black boots and a Jade Falcon ceremonial mask - an oversized replica of a jade falcon head made...

I don't think there's any such list. Battletech in general isn't very LGBTQ friendly because bloodlines and lines of descent are very important to the setting, the Star League literally fell apart because there were no more members of the Cameron bloodline left. The Taurian Concordate schismed...

The percentage of white people in the US is 71%. The percentage of LGBTQ is around 7-7.5%. Consequently, the percentage of nonwhite LGBTQ is going to be near 2%, barring averages being different by race. You must know a staggeringly large number of people to have reasonable odds of even...

Eh... I can't really agree in all fairness. They're eyesores but plenty of canon 'mechs are, Rhonda Snord tools around in a neon pink Highlander with external speaker racks mounted on it to blast Elvis Presley songs in battle, those 'mechs aren't any worse than that. The Kell Hounds go for an...

I'm not sure what's weird about that, every "no politics" policy I've ever seen has some kind of dividing line so that pedants can't claim your meme about Pharoah or George Washington are political. Most put the line arbitrarily somewhere to avoid flamewars over Current Thing while allowing...

To get a bit of catchup on the whole mess, r/BattleTech has had a strict no-politics policy since its inception which has served it well in keeping down the drama. When pride month started fans spammed the LGBTQ anthology, along with a lot of other pride stuff like an entire LGBTQ-themed...

Hmm, well looks like I was just being needlessly suspicious then.

That's exactly why I think something hinky may potentially have happened, there are NOT a lot of donors, just a few who are donating massive amounts. If there were a couple hundred thousand donors each throwing twenty-fifty bucks in plus a few whales, that would be typical but they seem to have...

By all accounts, they're doing well. The Battletech: Mercenaries Kickstarter raked in seven and a half million dollars recently. Now granted, there might be something hinky going on there. The Kickstarter only had about 23,000 backers which means the average donation was well over 300...

Eh, well if it wasn't they've certainly kept clarifying where they stand.
