Yes - its been uploaded into a single file, but people are deleting what they don't need or after they download, so it keeps coming up as empty.  Its my own fault - I thought individual folders would be easier, but the single large file format is easier.

It would probably help if I really understood the Dropbox program.

Don't suppose you'd add my two Classic BattleTech novels to the Dropbox and the master list?  Having an index like the one your are maintaining is invaluable.  Especially for new members (or older returning ones)!

Hi All

Just putting this out here because several guys have poked me that I should put it up here.
This was really more than anything else an exercise is playing around in MS Publisher because I had not used it since High School, but for work purposes I needed to play with it and so wanted to just get a little practice.

Making a 'fake' Battletech sourcebook accordingly sounded like a nifty little idea to play around with the software and get used to it again before starting on serious work!

Of course like all so many of my things, it went utterly out of control and took on a life of its own until I was finally able to stop and ask why in the hell I've written this much...

To sum it up, this sourcebook was based around something of an AU I was throwing around in with some people years back, where the FedCom started on the path to Warship construction a little bit earlier than in canon, in the 3040s to be specific. Add to that around that time, in response to Romano trying to capitalize on the Big Macs deep raid rather than take it for what it was, Hanse got incredibly pissed and was about to 'punish' the Cappies, which forced Candence to jump in and take over the Confederation to stop Hanse from simply snapping it like a kit-kat bar with the FWL. Although she is still allied to the FedCom because she sees them as pretty much going to win in the long run anyway, so she'll stick with the winning team, while protecting her independence.

But as a result of stepping up a real Navy much earlier, butterflies started to happen.

Also, it served as an excuse for me to throw around a lot of fanon and headcanon stuff. Like what makes Monitors different from dropships and so on ... I just thank God that I was able to stop it before I started to go into my grand-unified theory of K/F drive technology...

Annnnnnway.

Keeping in mind this is only like a 75% complete first draft of an AU sort of universe, I'm just throwing it up here! Keep in mind I have utterly no permission to use any of the art from FASA or Catalyst or whoever owns it so I'm iffy on actually putting it up. If anyone has a problem, just let me know and I'll take it down!

I'd like to address a mistake; I accidentally gave credit for the Columbus Cartographic Corps to Blacknova over at the ourbattletech forum.  The actual creator, Highball (a user here on the forum), came forward to correct this, and I beg his pardon for the mistake.

The last thing I want to do is deny someone their rightful credit for contributing their time and effort (and sometimes money) to sharing their projects with the rest of us. I'm so sorry, and thank you, Highball!

For TRO, all you really need to do is go 3 columns, landscape mode.

If I can ever figure out how to reliably turn pictures of 15-year-old kitbashes into something approaching line art, I have the text of a personal TRO sitting there for all that time ;)

Worktroll, try this using the freeware GIMP:

You did AFFC Navy?  Awesome!  Its still on my desktop, I escape into it when RL and MWO irritate the heck out of me.  Thank you!  I have an update to do, so I'll add credit to the entry if it isn't there already.

...And if you ever finish the other 25%, I want an updated copy.  Please?  Pretty please?
