So, they're pulling a GW? Scheming, Banning people they don't like from every community they attempt to gain control of, weaponizing fan IP 'violations,' increasing the prices for their minis? 3D printers are a thing, now a days. And 3SW-Clan Invasion is the most popular era, right? In a game...

I am big sad that we're probably not gonna get Battletech 2 from HBS. Lamplighters didn't do so hot, and the videogame rights are a bit borked iirc. So, yeah.

Here's a go. Managed to squeak out a bit more BV. Don't know if it's actually any better. Might swap the ERML for more pulse. XPLs are downgradeable. Experimental just to get them though.

Well, then it's not a counterpoint. It isn't countering anything. A counterpoint, with no further context, counters, it doesn't contrast. Saying 'In contrast' or 'in my experience' would have been an immensely better choice to convey what you say you meant. Edit: Counterpoint is inherently...

The Murder Furries might not be cisgender but they aren't trans, IMO. Clannerscum have a gender of [Caste]. Warriors are Warriors not men, not women. When they use men and women as words, it's linguistic left overs. Scientists are Scientists, Laborers Laborers. There is no space for anything...

Not really sure how that's a counter point? Or why it needed a counter point? I lived in a very white part of the USA so that really jives with my lived experience. And you know, most people in the USA are white, so it would follow on that most LGBTQ people would be white. Most of the news I...

Ah, I tried to specify with the Pride people bit. It's hard to make the divide between 'regular people except gay' and 'fucking assholes who are a hollow person with a rainbow shell.' Without, actually explaining it like that. You know the incredibly vocal shitheads who have probably never even...

This. If you come to play big stompy robots, or talk big stompy robot lore, 99.5% of us won't really give a shit. Who cares if your pilot is gay as fuck? It's not going to stop me from shooting them. And then in the lore, the people we actually give a shit about, don't really care about...

I love how 'let's pander to an audience that doesn't particular care about the hobby at the expense of our fanbase' it is. /s Like if someone LGBTQ+ was playing BT, they've already got a lance full of gays. BT is an even better version of 'your dudes' than a number of wargames. Do they not...

They would have to be cultural markers. There simply aren't enough Japanese people to populate like 300 planets to be the utterly dominant ethnic group in the DC by the time the Star League forms. Same with the Chinese in the CC. (Honestly, the stars are a little white in BT, with 2 and some...

Right, because a tribal take on fascism is so grand, so great. Being property of the Clan/State is such a wonderful thing. Being told who to marry, which the Scientists do for non-warrior castes IIRC, totally fine, Eugenics is great. Having a Ritualized Crab Bucket which gleefully includes...

His character is canon though. So, why not lean into it and create some lore for him? I forget the name, but Tex' Dr. Prof. Something Something was canonized through one of the kickstarters IIRC.

Pilot skill is a lot more impactful on the TT, I think. Also the 'perfect' generalist lance is like 1 Light, 1 Medium, and 2 Heavies. So something like: Spider SDR-5V is 622, Grifin GRF-1N is 1,272, Thunderbolt TDR-5S 1,335, Archer ARC-2R 1,447. That's 4,676 BV and a pretty solid indirect...

Urbanmechs are so lovely and memey. I did up a stealth Urbie once. And you can fire a Plasma Rifle until it's out of ammo and then stealth around with pulse lasers. In an urban center, god that must be terrifying. You can't even flank the fuckers cause they got 360 turret action.

Quickdraw 5K and 5M are both 5/8/5. Not really that long range though. Introtech Catapult is 4/6/4 and it's got LRM thirty in throw weight. Might be worth to take it and spot for it. 30 LRMs a round for 8 rounds is nothing to sneeze at. The Marauder variants -5D and -5D-DC are 4/6/4 with one...

Can it be mixed tech? There's a clan retrofit Thunderbolt TDR-5S (C) that's pretty nasty. There's the Thunderbolt TDR-7M that comes out in 3050 if not. Both are 4/6 afaik. But chonky bois IIRC. Marauder MAD-5D comes out in 3047 and it's all Royal tech. ER PPCs at there too to reach out and...

And me without a computer for a week. D':
