    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    I second this idea (even if there isn't a vote as this isn't a quest). Really what they want is something affordable and mass producible. XLFEs at this point are stupidly expensive (and in very short supply), and people need to be able to afford them to actually buy in. If you keep to FF, DHS...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    Mainly to get access to them. Resource extraction is pretty important for Catachan and if he has the cash for it it might be a good investment to have it in house. If nothing else it gives a place to do training for the battlemech lines. This of course assumes he has the cash to pull that off.

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    The bit with C* giving out advanced tech was very funny. The reactions to learning they gave out advanced missile tech will be gold. They also seem to be underestimating the cost and financial strain upgrading will cause on the cappies. Barring FASAnomics a comprehensive upgrade like this done...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    I would think current planned upgrades being inspired by either Royal mechs or stuff from Catachan would help prevent that. The current upgrade list is based on what is available right now. I would expect a considerable number of the next wave to be putting royal variants back into production...

    Bah, it is obviously chlorine trifluoride or something similar. Because sometimes you just want everything to burn.

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    I have to wonder how others will perceive the reason for the law changes. The first and obvious one is to prevent patent trolling, no one is admitting to selling LosTech for over a century, so we don't care if it is "obviously infringing on your ERLL patent" you haven't made it in living memory-...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    This is Battletech, it might not be the case. IIRC they usually do respect copyright, it can be puzzling at times. Or they just don't think it would be worth the effort to make their own plant for the designs they have captured, I dunno.

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    Would this incorporate the earlier idea of certifications (optical welder, capacitor inspection, etc)? I could see just having a LosTec Industry programs that would be valuable both to CAC or just in general. Could be butterflied in this case. If the FC looks like it would be happening C* might...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    SB and SV ironically tend to have problems with classic sci-fi and space opera. Given one of the major themes in sci fi is a "what if" for political systems and groups. A good example are the Kurita Space Weebs, how would that society work anyway? It also tends to group things along groups. The...

    Battletech Welcome to the Jungle

    Huh, that is interesting to know. From the mod post it sounds like there should be mods reviewing the thread and giving us a verdict post before it is reopened. Learn something new everyday. Also nice edit for the chapter. It shows julia is thinking, even if she doesn't choose to say anything...
