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! Got rid of main forum links because main forums is getting trashed edition If the Backstabbers didn't kill you, the ensuing hail of arty and missiles would./btg/ - Battletech General Anonymous 22:14:25 Post No. One LAM lance is worth 3 standard lances insofar as utility goes, therefore they ARE worth the cash to keep active, at least if you use non conventional tactics to win the day.Ĥ LAM lance with a pair of Backstabbers and a pair of lighter units with NARC beacons and TAG systems. But, just like the real military, if you can afford them, you use them, because they fill a niche that your enemy isn't likely to counter effectively.Īre LAMs frontal assault units? Hells no! Are they great for exploiting weak points and hunting high value targets? Oh yeah. Now granted, everything I used them for CAN be accomplished by throwing basic units at them, just like taking out irregular forces CAN be accomplished by flooding the area with an overwhelming number of regular troops. Their utility more than offset the cost and other negatives they bring. ****** and grab, rapid insertion, fire support elimination, arty hunters, etc. I never looked at them as a 'standard' unit.
