did anyone play battletech MUSE/MUX?
« on: 05 December 2011, 15:05:19 »
Just wondering if anyone remember the Battletech MU*s like Battletech 3056, Bryant, 3065, the Sim site, Varxsys, and related sites from 1993-2003 or so?

Around 1995 I played one BT MUSE as Liao MechWarrior Frabartolo, but can't recall which MUSE it was. I think it was the BattleTech 3056 MUSE, but I may be wrong.

I eventually dropped out because my university uplink was too slow for the realtime combat simluator, leaving my 'Mech a sitting duck in the training exercises, and thus preventing me from ever partaking in any serious battles.

My notable exploits during the time on the MUSE included losing 3 Griffins in a row in ill-fated attempts to prove the design's superiority on the battlefield, later faring surprisingly well piloting a Crusader (a design I don't like) and eventually getting assigned a Cataphract, but never the Archer I always asked for. Despite merely mediocre combat performance (or perhaps because this was still better than than the average Liao MechWarrior) I was promoted to Subcommander, drafted into Warrior House Imarra against my wishes and given command of a Lance that had never seen combat action by the time I had to quit the game.
Ah, good times.  :)

Yup. Used the same name then that I do here on the forums.

I played mostly on 3056, I had an instructor character, and I tried to get Explorer Corps started towards the end of 3056's life, those were good times.

Played them some, but was never veteran enough to compete very well.  Enjoyed the faction servers with structured command, but players didn't have a lot of patience,either. :P

Used to play them. It was fun, but then I discovered Battletech Firestorm and the Muse/Mux ideas went by the wayside. :D

Played plenty of them.

Mainly as:

Lance_Hawkins

But also did stints as Theme_Manager on 3056, and Hans_Jungmann on some places.
