 Beating back the Real World....


    Hi!  It's been a year and a half since my last post.  Thought I would drop in and let you know that new machines are slowly being polished and readied for the 3063 Update.  Dated somewhere between 3065-3066, it's a look in on some other machines available to the Inner Sphere and Periphery shortly after the FedCom Civil War.


I know, I know.  There is no battle armor.  There are no protomechs.  But most notably, there are no Clans.


None.


And from what I see of 3145 material, thank God.  Clanner dweebs have infected everything; it's like a reflection of the real world.  But of course, while Coleman and Bills fire their best writers and substitute hacks pushing "The Message", they can only poison the game going forward.  The past of Battletech can be added to, but not erased and certainly not re-written.  And add to it, I will.


Loculus Hover Transport (Marian Hegemony)



Janissary Missile Support Vehicle (Eastern Inner Sphere)

    I know, "Eastern Inner Sphere" is not very helpful.  "Everything to the right of the old Chaos Marches", how's that?  And let me tell you, for spamming the enemy with every kind of munition you can imagine at ridiculous ranges, the LRM-5 is God's gift to the infantryman.  You simply overwhelm any AMS the target may have with so many possibles, the number that make it through are hardly affected.  And you run them out of ammo fast.

Anyway, that's all I got for now.  Time constraints and money restrict what we can accomplish, but it's still moving forward.

Thanks for stopping by.
