There was also the knee jerk hate for bringing up religion. Honestly I think that's what sunk you. They didn't like like the idea of limited franchise, but people actually talking about what religion the potential children in a relationship will be raised as? That was a step too far.

The issue with that is that it looks a lot like a Warship. That means it's going to get shot at like a Warship.

Are there any rules for the kind of ground mounted heavy weapon positions that are planned?

Huh, what kept them out of the Dropships then?

I mean it also locks them in to Steiner suppliers without being obvious about it. Those new mechs with FF Armor or ER weapons or even Double Heat sinks are going to take damage. You can only get replacements in so many places now.

Isn't that what I said? I've never seen anyone run a game where they actually went over construction factors for all the buildings and assigned different ones. I also can't recall any stories where a mech jumps on a building and falls through it. That's just not how the setting is portrayed or...

The Highlander is considered in-universe to be a heavy cavalry mech. I also don’t know many Battletech games that rule you collapse the building by jumping on it at pretty much any weight class. Basically, that might be your head cannon dude, but that’s not how it’s widely portrayed. You’re...

I feel like you’re hitting the point of diminishing returns with more then forty LRMs in a salvo. The bigger the mech, the more it needs to be able to operate out of its preferred roll and range bracket.

So, that redesign leaves the mech with what? 2-LBX10s, one in each pod. 2-Large Lasers, right and left torso or paired opposite the ammo? 2-LRM5s 2- Medium Lasers That looks a lot more like an assault mech. I’m sure the fiddley bits of the exact ammo and heat sink numbers will be worked out by...

Loathe as I am to say that the Clans has any good ideas, the Rifleman isn’t a heavy enough mech for its role. Pushing it to 65-75 tonnes would let it much more easily balance speed, armour and long range alpha. Because 60t is all you have to work with, I’d honestly just cut all the secondaries...

Eh, shame about the Spacebattles thread. I mean, being asked to keep the politics and religion out of a Battletech story seems at best ignorant. I did love the usual suspects engaging in their full internet atheist act walk off without comment or points. Oh well, I'm looking forward to reading...

How goes getting that unlocked? Or are you not bothering till the next chapter is ready?

Considering that’s what they sent against a warship I would be shocked if they brought that many ASF. At that point you might as well load them with tacnukes and pave the mountain because no one is going to buy a “pirate” with 216 ASF fighters. Likewise that many ASF would be basically...

Up against elite rated mercenaries in better or comparable gear, having to push into at best a semi-fortress? With the current state of the Comguard, pirates might have a better showing. They at least would be well practiced at raids.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Comguard’s Mech forces so green in this era that they lost over 1-1 against pirates while using top tier royal lostech mechs?

More, the AA Arrow is a future development of a lostech, so just having Arrow IV buried in the back of his core would not be enough.

Ah yes, he’s just going to jump in his time machine to buy them then? What is it with some people’s turret obsession? They are used in setting to buy time for the garrison to deploy and to get blow up by actual military equipment to make them look more bad ass. They are more discriminating and...

To say nothing about that it’s pointless if you buy said turrets and they aren’t on planet. Which leaves some problems for someone trying to keep their location secret. Who is shipping them and who is installing them. All the people working on the planet are already maxed out, as seen by the...

Or as I said already other priorities existed.

Dude, have you even read the story? Because it sure sounds like you haven’t. A whole bunch of screen time has been spent on the LBX10 autocannon, which most of the heavy metal mount. Most of the lights and mediums are energy and missile mechs. I’m also not sure you understand how little ground...
