Some Battletech stuff

[OverNinja]

Neither have I.

The background I have for EI comes from 1st Sommerset Strikers, Lostech, Combat Equipment and MechWarrior's Guide to the Clans. DNI and related technologies are from the Unbound.

The year of manufacture (commission) is more to keep in lines with the vechicles in the main Spycraft book. That way if someone want to do a pre Succession War session, they know what 'Mechs were used at that time.

I have most the TRs and other equipment books. (I'm a Battletech Junkie).
3025 (revised), 3050, 3055, 3057, 3058, 3060, 3067.

I'm over halfway through 3025 and there are 50 mech configurations so far (I even added some of the known variants of some 'Mech models.

PS: I'm going to be dropping off the face of the planet by the end of the week. I'm a sports editor for a weekly newspaper in Western Arkansas and the main town in the county is hosting the Cal Ripken 12-year-old World Series. It's a big deal, I got to put together a special section leading up to that. Cover the games and then get ready for football season, which starts at the end of the month. I'll probably put in about 80 hours a week for the next two to three weeks. (Papa needs the money to buy new Crafty books!) I'll try to check in every once and while. My down time will be working on another project and compiling 'Mech stats, so I'll be ready to hit the ground running by Aug. 30. (I'll be drunk Aug. 29).

You're not the only BTech junkie around 

I'll start figuring out Elementals and assorted equipment, going the SFA power armor route.

I'm out of town on the last weekend of August, definitely drunk

I wish they properly televised the pre-season in the UK...

I know the Technical Readouts, I have all you mentioned plus 3067 and Project Phoenix.

I was thinking about the EI as a feat, since it's not that widely used (10 to 15% according to some books).

How are you going to do lasers, since lasers have AP (damage)?
Ballistic weapons should be easy to match against existing weapons.

What about 2750?

[OverNinja]

Yes, I have that one too.

I have a promo flyer for Solaris VII that had two Mechs in it (Bombard and Flashfire; haven't seen them anywhere else).

[Morgenstern]

Look for a solaris VII boxed set. My god that was a great add-on.

[OverNinja]

Unfortunately my FLGS cleared out old products a few years back (started at 10% off, ended at 90% off; good bargains if you could play chicken )

The new 3055 TR Upgrade has the Mechs from the boxed set and the Reaches plus some new ones.

The Inner Sphere faction i used to play was House Liao. It was great (sort of) having the Solaris Champion on your side. Piloting 1/ Gunnery 1? Oh yes... But then i seem to remember Natasha Kerensky had zero in both. 

[OverNinja]

And she had this nasty custom Daishi with targeting computers.

I'd favor Mercs, FedCom (favoring the Davion side; pro-Victor) or Kurita, though my favorite recon Mech is the Capellan Raven with Combine Hitman being a close second.

[ThunderMonkey]

I was involved in a major mercs campaign for about three or four years. I wore my modified Wolverine to nothing in one battle (had both arms blown off) and I destroyed my leg actuators on one final "Death from Above" move that helped win the battle.

Never got to play against the Clans, but had a few entanglements with the Black Widow Company over protecting some mineral rights.

Yeah, That'd be the Daishi Widowmaker. They don't have an emoticon for being sick, do they?

[Morgenstern]

After I'm back from GenCon I'll show off some of my designs.The Nightmare and the Myrmidon both do fun things to the game, er with the game.

[Thuren]

Any updates anyone?

[ThunderMonkey]

Whew... after covering 25 baseball games in eight days and spending a week preping for Football season, I'm slowly getting back into the "swing of things." I have vegitated for the past three days and I'm back on the case. I suspect that I will start rolling out some stuff by late next week.
