Also, my wife frowns on chicks, so I had to turn that part of the Standard Catalyst Compensation Package down.  She has an axe, and so is remarkably persuasive concerning such things.

What about ducklings instead?

So now I am wondering, is there an expected time for the next release? You do excellent work, I am looking forward to when it gets closer to the "current" times for research purposes... I am going to be making a 3067ish set of units. So I am looking forward to the next group of updates but it will also be nice to see the 3070s and 3085 groups when done too.

I'm going to be realistic and say don't hold your breath.  I want to do it, but as I've frequently noted before, each future era takes longer than the last, because you don't have to find out what's new, you have to make judgements about how to adjust the amounts on everything that's old as well.

3057 is doable and somewhat on the radar.  Beyond that I haven't even thought of.

Still a step closer... And to be honest, you work hard each step of the way for us - so I am in no rush, I just look forward to the next release.

If I can help in some way, let me know with a pm. I am not the fastest researcher nor the most keen eyed, but I am happy to help with great projects like this one.

not to toss more beer cans in your soup bowl but in regards to Inner sphere Omnimechs, i hope your just listing the basic models (since unlike the Clans, specific varients are less of a issue, for the intial release)

That which has been bound cannot be unbound.

(well, that, and as soon as you do he'll release a 9.0 and I want to see that version, so get to it)

Wow, very mpressed with this document. I made a post for the books that had this info some months ago, but never thought at the time of asking if there was anything fan made. Well, you get what you ask for, and no one mentioned this in their replies. :-\ I‘m running a campaign that began in 3024 and will conclude in 3039, so this is perfect. To all those who worked on it - excellent job!

This was just the sort of thing I was looking for! But I have a question and a suggestion;

Question; What is an Atlas AS7-RS, and where can I find a record sheet? You see virtually no atlas variants in introductory-level play, so this is very cool.

Suggestion; do a 3rd succession war/2950-3025 listing and a listing for periphery forces and mercenaries.

And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

This Atlas is armed with two Large lasers, one AC-10 and LRMs + SRMs.

Record Sheet for it is in Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged (BC212; with silver Banshee on cover).

No: I would have posted had they had, and updated the thread title to match.

It remains something on my to-do list - I do not consider the project abandoned - but as I've said here several times, what time I have for Battletech is now largely occupied with errata duties, fact-checking upcoming products, and now working on answering rules questions.  I can't do all that and handle real-life concerns without cutting back on work on these tables.

One day I'll get a new set done.  More than that I can't say.

I would love to see tables like yours for 3055. I find myself stuck in 3025 simply because your tables are the only ones that feel real.

i like using them because the variety on my dice rolls is better. The RUS is useful by themselves but the FA&R tables just seems more... sensible.

Xotl, quick (hopefully) question: will the 'Mechs and Vehicles from XTRO: Succession Wars, V1 be added to the tables? Or are they too rare or the use of experimental equipment prevent their use?
Specifically, the Şoarece Superheavy MBT, would that appear on assault weight vehicle tables or does it status as a super heavy unit prohibit it from being randomly generated?

The vehicle tables need to be heavily redone.  I might add the Şoarece to Marik as a rather rare unit on the Marik assault tables, but offhand none of the other units I think would fit.

In the Succession Wars I wouldn't be surprised if there were several super-heavy tanks, you have to make up for the reduced effectiveness of intro-tech some how and if you adhere to the old 'Fusion Engines are rare' belief putting one of your rare fusion engines in something that big and tough makes sense

Hooray! Cannot thank you enough for this.  Between this and MadCap's OR67, I can't think of any better fanmade product.

Okay maybe Megamek and SSW but still.
