I fought my usual urge to immediately start offering to print mechs for my fellow BT enjoying kiwis on the super cheap, I do shit like that a lot for communities I'm in because being able to summon high detail minis from pools of toxic sludge is infinitely satisfying to my autistic monkey brain. If I could find a way to do it 100% anonymous on both sides I would though, I refuse to break the anonymity of this forum.
I've been watching Tex and Dep playing Wildlands, because silly Wildlands is the best Wildlands. This is at the end of every episode
At the very least the Mariks are currently on an upward trend though knowing that faction something retarded will probably happen to them soon
It'll be interesting to see how the story progresses after the FedCom Civil War wraps up.
I'm so damned hyped to (hopefully) pilot a Bushwacker again, MW3 was my first introduction to BattleTech.
Yep, Fiaura is a troon. Was a pretty early adopter of the fad, actually. I remember exchanging a couple of messages with them over youtube (back when it still allowed for DMs) about their World of Tanks videos and they seemed reasonable enough back then.
With how spotty the quality of the MW5 DLCs have been I'm not expecting much from this, PGI could pull it off but they've had enough fuck ups to be worried.
Mods scare me because I'm a Boomer at technology, but I'll give it a crack. I never got the HBS BattleTech mods to work.
They are very easy to install now, I been running a BTA3062 campaign and it has been pretty fun. The only thing I don't like is that some times you get dropped in the middle of 2/3 reinforced lances (Stars, if you are dirty clanner) or you spawn at the bottom of a mountain and the aforementioned lances are at the very top of said mountain raining down fire upon you.
Yeah I know the feeling, I design and post a lot of BT stuff online but that's all tied into my usual stuff. So all I can say is there are plenty of niche and obscure models out there to print!
My friend it is bliss. The wolf fanboys didn't even notice we got a sourcebook, so they couldn't plot armour the wolves and we got half our systems back unopposed. Nikol Marik is actually written with flaws. And when they released those factional dice sets no one wanted the Marik ones, the only two people to buy them were me and some 30k player who thought they fit his army. Free Worlds Best Worlds.
If you have it on Steam you can download most of them from the workshop and then just enable them using the in-game mod manager.
Just like Mw 3 the only game without this god damn forsaken "suspension point" system. At least it let me build an Annihilator with 6 ER PPc's to have it explode with an alpha strike in the winter level
I have never understood the obsession BT writers and management have for Clan Wolf. They're the most generic of the clans, and they're as interesting lore-wise as bread and warm water.
I always thought that Clan Goliath Scorpion was a bit more cool, since you know, these guys are ingesting scorpion venom on the regular to have visions and then go to perform "quests" for the sake of rebuilding the Star League, they do all this in a setting where you have massive armies of mechs, lasers, large space faring nations and no aliens.
Or in other words: they're extremely easy to write. Kind of like the Ultramarines in 40k.
They are the default clan option. And as such everything is written around them. Il Khan Era is Clan Wolf conquers the Inner Sphere with the power of friendship and plot holes. I wish we got something set during the Jihad, which will never ever happen cause it's called the Jihad, everyone's sacred cows got slaughtered so they are bitter about the Jihad and the people who make modern BT games don't know how to balance a time period of good enough inner tech to stand up if not surpass in some areas clan tech.
Seeing this comment reminded me of the time I went to a Dave & Busters with friends to play Battletech using the pods back in 2001. The whole setup was pretty cool.
