Obviously the _specifics_ of how they'd be used varies based on DS capacity or thrust profile, but the general usage is similar enough that the articles would boil down to things like "Yeah the Black Lion is like the Conqueror except it has less ASF, bring more in DropShips but otherwise you're still looking to fuck things up with your NAC-heavy weapons array" and the Potemkin would be "it's like a McKenna except with slightly less Bracketing and a shit ton more DropShips, bring a bunch of Pentagon/Achilles/Vengeance DSes on your collars and wreck people at long range just like a McKenna would" which means any further articles would be gratuitous and boring. The McKenna article also covers ground that a Texas or Potemkin article would go into. The Aegis and Conqueror cover the Carries we get and NAC-armed ships like the Cameron, Black Lion, and Kirishima. Once you've covered a dropper popper you've covered most Destroyers, Frigates, and Corvettes because the way you use them is similar. The problem with writing more articles is that the design space for them is limited, in part due to how few we have compared to ground units or even ASF. I might take a look at Assault DS/PWS designs at some point in the future. With that done I'm probably through writing WarShip articles. They undoubtably have the best mech selection of the Inner Sphere powers from 3050 onwards.
Well obviously the FedSuns spring to mind, being the mary sue purefag faction and with a terrible overentitled fanbase (remember that guy here last month banging on about how the FedSuns haven't built a good mech since the end of the Jihad?). >And is there a faction you can't stand lore-wise or maybe character wise or something, but you love their rides? Of their cool mechs, the Blackhawk KU is shared with the Lyrans and FedSuns, and mechs that were nice in 3025 (panther, jenner, even the Dragon as cavalry kickers) don't really cut the mustard post 3050. Those are pretty decent and actually look cool. The Ninja-to is probably the one I dislike the most overall. A lot of their factional mechs are either ugly and shit, or stupid weeb designs that are also shit. >Is there a faction that you really like because of its lore or something particular, but can't stand its locally produced mechs?ĭracs. I need to offer Coleman a new patio so he'll get the Falcons off Steiner's back. No one really wants her realm involved.īut click your chopsticks three times and say Xin Sheng, and BAM! New solid mechs out the wazoo and built like crazy by a now dependable industry and educated population. Romano walks out on the Outreach conference, gains nothing from it, no clan tech or money. Then you look at their neighbors, the Capellans: economy in the gutters, barely any mech factories left, intellectuals purged regularly or fleeing, and a population shattered and shuddering. I think the only solid ones they got were the Herc and Wraith. Instead you have to contain your laughter at the Anvil, Hammer, Albatross, Grand Titan, Perseus and others. With all this growth in a diverse economy with plenty of good schools and motivation, you think now the Leaguers will get some great fighty robots. Especially when you read that they're getting pieces of Clan tech as payment to study and try to reverse engineer. With the Outreach conference and agreement to build mechs for the FedCom and Kurita, and the massive economic and tech boom it creates, it seems like they'll get some neat toys. You know, I actually feel kinda bad for FWL fans. Megamek - computer version of BattleTech. How do I find out what BattleMechs a faction has? Next e-pub is going to be Touring the Stars: Lone StarĬan I get an overview of the major factions? Interstellar Operations (final build) is out!
