I have removed join/part and nick change messages, and changed the timezone to EST, but otherwise the log is as I received it.
12:03:09 Gaiiten I feel a mighty power is approaching ...
12:03:17 Chunga RAN FELSNER!
12:04:19 Habeas2 MATT DAMON!
12:04:21 Nathan18 Good Morning
12:04:36 Nathan18 Has Battlechat started?
12:05:14 Habeas2 I am just getting here now; there was a slight delay
12:05:27 Habeas2 So....
12:05:42 Gaiiten It seems so. We just started a contest about who shall never be in BT universe again ...
12:05:59 Habeas2 Hello, and as always, welcome to another exciting monthly BattleChat. I blew off a visit to my dad in the hospital for this today, so make your questions good.
12:06:36 Habeas2 As always, I'm your primary host, but Jason Schmetzer of BattleCorps is here as well, and rumor has it that my assistant, Ben Rome will also join us in this chat today.
12:06:57 Habeas2 These chats run a minimum of one hour (I will likely tack an extra half to this one, though; I get so lonely)....
12:07:20 Gaiiten Bad news, that. I hope you father is well given circumstances if I may ask.
12:07:21 sarcasmo Sad Herb makes me sad. And scared.
12:07:22 Habeas2 Remember to be respectful of others and keep questions brief and clear; I will answer in the order received.
12:07:57 Habeas2 Logging is not something I generally do here, so if you want a transcript of this chat, it's on you.
12:08:34 Habeas2 I retain the option to kick anyone who I feel is being improper (read: being a jerk, an ******, a dick, a troll). Don't test me on this. I can be mean.
12:09:13 Habeas2 That all said, hello, and welcome again to our fist Live BattleChat! of February 2012! You may proceed with the questions.... now.
12:09:17 Chunga Are the epub short stories the future of batteltech fiction or is there still hope for print novels?
12:09:22 martian I would like to ask about "Interstellar Expeditions". Any movement in that direction? Exploring the Unknown?
12:10:39 Garydee Have you made a decision if TRO 3150 is coming this year?
12:11:21 Habeas2 Chunga - There is always going to be hope for print novels, but for now, that's where our fictive efforts will lie.
12:11:32 sarcasmo How's fan reaction been to the Blitzkrieg novels?
12:11:38 Habeas2 Martian - Yes. There is movement.
12:11:49 J_Schmetzer sarcasmo - minimal
12:12:07 Habeas2 Garydee - No, it is not. Due to a shift in the sourcebook focus for 2012, there is no TRO slated for this year (that isn't a reprint, anyway).
12:12:20 Firedrake The obvious question, but: state of play for Interstellar Ops?
12:12:39 sarcasmo Really?! After all the complaining about no longer fiction? Wow. I'm surprised.
12:12:47 Habeas2 Sarcasmo - Hard to guage at this moment, on account of me not reading any reviews. (Oh, I see Jason answered....)
12:13:48 J_Schmetzer sarcasmo - it'll take time. I don't have any doubts that the program will be a success, but just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it'll WIN THE INTERWEBZ in its first week.
12:13:55 Habeas2 Firedrake - Interstellar Ops is going about as swimmingly as one can expect for a core rulebook, which is to say... OMG, the rules! Holy crap, the rules are soooooo complicated! WHy on earth did we think this was a good idea!?
12:13:55 Gaiiten What about the WoR Supplemental? When can we expect the release?
12:14:10 sarcasmo Can you gives us any clues to the project you and Randall we're so excited about the other day on FB and Twitter?
12:14:13 RanFelsner If the epub fiction is our current source of BT fiction, how many will we see in any given timeframe?
12:14:40 Habeas2 Gaiiten - We hope for a release either in February or March, but I can always be wrong.
12:14:43 SLDF_Gunslinger Greetings!
12:14:55 Habeas2 Sarcasmo - Not until my pants dry off, no.
12:15:02 J_Schmetzer RanFelsner - as all the release materials have said, we expect to publish monthly.
12:15:18 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - Yo!
12:15:36 sarcasmo J_Schmetzer Good point. Still, after all the bit...err, complaining about the lack of fiction I would have thought fans would have been more excited.
12:15:47 Habeas2 RanFalsner - What Jason said, or until he has a catastrophic meltdown.
12:16:14 Habeas2 (probably as a result of editing a sourcebook)
12:16:14 sarcasmo Habeas2 Not cool! :( We want to be exited too!
12:16:27 Gaiiten Can you tell us something more about the content of the Supplemental?
12:16:28 sarcasmo *excited
12:16:40 RanFelsner Sounds good, any fiction is welcome.
12:16:55 Habeas2 Sarcasmo - When we know enough to say more definitively, we'll tell you. I hate raising hopes on projects only to say (over and over) that it got frozen for yet another unanticipated reason
12:17:00 Habeas2 (Welcome, Ben)
12:17:04 J_Schmetzer Luckily I am far less integral to Blitzkrieg. So if I do have a meltdown (re: Herb says "edit this...") it shouldn't matter too much.
12:17:27 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Ben Rome can answer that best. Ben, the question is about content of the WoR supplemental
12:17:40 sarcasmo tis a good policy I suppose.
12:17:52 Habeas2 Jason - No, I don't see it quite that way...
12:18:51 SLDF_Gunslinger Will Historical: Liberation of Terra Vol I include RAT's for the SLDF and RWR forces? Or will this info be covered in other supplemental products?
12:18:54 GhostBear WoR Supplemental? Okay. Four Clan entries. Setting is a 3090 readiness report, on the cusp of the invasion. And some info on four now-dead Bandit groups.
12:19:16 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - Yes
12:20:07 GhostBear The main thrust of the WoRS is a big RAT listing, and probably close to 25 record sheets.
12:20:21 SLDF_Gunslinger Excellent. Thanks!
12:20:27 faraday77 evening (or hello for those in other time zones)
12:20:33 martian What about "old" Unseens and "new" Unseens (from TRO 3055)? That's almost 50 'Mechs total. I have seen that at least Ostscout, Ostroc and Ostsol were pulled from Unseens list. Any change in positive direction?
12:20:52 Gaiiten Hmmm ... was Ghostbear serious or is he smiling due his first answer? If he is serious that would be great.
12:22:09 GhostBear Gaiiten: Me? serious? When?
12:23:18 Habeas2 Martian - I am pursuing an option that may resolve the Unseen matter more definitively for the universe. It will, of course, not please all of the fan base, but we have dealt with this particular problem since the late 90s, and I think it's time we finally close it down for good. Remember, of course, your minis remain valid.
12:23:22 Gaiiten While destroying whole Clans? Or were you laughing all the time :)
12:24:14 martian With 2012 being year devoted to history, I can imagine that avoiding Unseens must be problematic at best. I have thought that at least units produced by Vicore Musical Industries were made directly for FASA?
12:24:40 SLDF_Gunslinger Will the Liberation of Terra Historical's contain an Era specific campaign system similar to WoR or will it simply provide generic Warchest system Tracks?
12:24:41 mib_ep2tdq Ghostbear are we to expect any previews for WoRS?
12:24:49 trboturtle How are the Bitzkrieg stories doing?
12:25:26 J_Schmetzer trboturtle - no idea. I don't get the sales figures. Response is thus far limited. Will all work out in the long run (combining several earlier answers)
12:25:31 sarcasmo1 A longer question: IWM seems to take a new TRO and make mechs for it as SOP. However, does that also apply to the XTROs? Primarily the âPrimitivesâ due to their coverage of the unseen issue, or are those mechs something that would have to be covered by âfan fundingâ or am I asking the wrong person?
12:25:37 GhostBear mib_ep2tdq Maybe. My FT job is sucking life and soul at the moment AND placed a moratorium on "extraneous blogging" so...we'll see. 50/50 at this point, depending on what IT lets me get away with.
12:25:50 Habeas2 Martian - The Victor Musical Industries images were pulled as an added safety precaution. Fact is, when it comes to safeguarding against legal action, how much would you prefer we'd risk?
12:26:25 martian Thank You for answer.
12:26:29 trboturtle So GB is working for Cousin It?
12:26:42 J_Schmetzer How much to risk? I'm on so much medication right now my answer is "nut up or shut up." (there may have been a sneeze in the middle of typing that answer--you'll never know--it's a mystery)
12:26:51 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - The LoT Historicals follow standard Historical format, so there are no Tracks for the campaign; there are simply basic rules for scenarios in that setting.
12:27:06 Gaiiten Due the WoR and the new Protomech types introduced, I missed a Glider PM (or was the Svartalfa originally made by the Society).
12:27:22 SLDF_Gunslinger Excellent. Thank You!
12:27:34 Habeas2 Sarcasmo1 - No; unless we make a special case, XTR units are not generally being made by IWM
12:27:37 faraday77 question: what's the current state of affair concerning the old novels going epub?
12:27:39 trboturtle JS, why all the medication?
12:27:41 GhostBear SLDF_Gunslinger Trying to do a track-style system for LoT similar to WOR would be a nightmare. Too. much. data.
12:27:56 sarcasmo1 Habeas2 Thank you.
12:27:58 SLDF_Gunslinger Understandable...
12:28:48 Habeas2 Gaiiten - The Svartalfa derives from a Society design, but was not in itself built by the Society
12:29:17 mib_ep2tdq Any new HTP or DATP coming up in the next couple of months?
12:29:22 Habeas2 Faraday77 - At this moment the epubs of old novels remains on hold .
12:29:51 J_Schmetzer trboturtle - because I'm sick.
12:29:56 Habeas2 Mib_ep2tdq - That one's for Ben. ;)
12:29:59 trboturtle ah
12:30:20 GhostBear mib_ep2tdq Yes! I have HTP: Luzerne in the docks, and HTP: Towne, HTP: Antallos, and HTP something-or-other in varying stages of prep.
12:30:40 Gaiiten So we may get a Society-designed Glider PM in WORSup?
12:30:45 GhostBear And then there's this print book that all chaotic, too...
12:31:02 SLDF_Gunslinger I know this has probably been covered in another BattleChat, but aside from the 2 Historicals, what other SL Era products can we hope for this year?
12:31:21 faraday77 herb: thanks
12:32:42 GhostBear Gaiiten maybe. depends.
12:32:47 trboturtle GB, you are making sure the right Craig is getting the writing credit for HTP: Towne, right? :D
12:33:09 GhostBear trboturtle *facepalm* I blame Herb and too many Craigs for that one.
12:34:00 Garydee Can we expect to see the new TacOps errata fairly soon?
12:34:45 trboturtle2 That's what I get for traveling in that blue police box......
12:35:31 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - There wilkl likely only be one Historical this year, but we are also currently working on a Field Manual and an ERa Report set in the same period.
12:35:48 Klep oooh
12:36:00 Klep star league FM :D
12:36:13 SLDF_Gunslinger Excellent news! Thanks!
12:36:16 martian What kind of cooperation (if any) is between Catalyst and Personae Studios (MW:Tactical Command) or Infinite Game Publishing (MW:Tactics)? Or are they working on their own?
12:36:23 Habeas2 Trboturtle/GhostBear - *sigh*. WHICH Craig again?
12:36:37 trboturtle2 The one that's NOT me.....
12:36:39 Habeas2 Martian - ALl electronic renditions of BattleTech work on their own
12:36:58 SLDF_Gunslinger And, yes people, I am here to ask a ton of questions about the SL Era products. Like the handle isn't a dead giveaway :D
12:37:01 Habeas2 Trboturtle - And which one are YOU?
12:37:16 trboturtle2 I'm Reed
12:37:19 mib_ep2tdq What is the progress on Handbook DC and TRO 3067?
12:37:23 Vandal He's Reed, the other is Erne
12:37:45 Habeas2 Trboturtle - And you're, of course, referring to SotGAs in this public chat?
12:38:00 Habeas2 o.O
12:38:07 trboturtle2 I'm refering to emails....
12:38:12 GhostBear mib_ep2tdq HBHK is in process.
12:39:39 Habeas2 Trboturtle2 - DERIVED FROM SOTGA!!!!!!!! >.< Anyway, yeah, Erne is now on my records as being the Towne guy. (And if you think I mix up my Craigs, see what happens with my Chrises!)
12:40:04 Klep when i was in high school there were 3 erics in my social group
12:40:08 Klep we decided to number them
12:40:29 Klep it worked well!
12:40:31 GhostBear I have 12 Chrises in my email contact list. And most of them are BT-related in some manner.
12:40:36 Habeas2 Mib_ep2tdq - Handbook: Kurita is going about as fast as I can expect from its writer };) TRO 3067 is going fine for a reprint.
12:40:38 SLDF_Gunslinger Will we be seeing any new RWR specific unit designs in the SL Era Products this year?
12:40:42 sarcasmo Just use last names. It'll be like HS gym all over again.
12:40:53 Gaiiten Something I very liked in the last TROs were the different infantry types. Will you include them in the upcoming SL era products? (During the SL there were so many very advanced, let alone the SLDF standard infantry kit).
12:40:57 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - Maybe. Not sure.
12:41:04 GhostBear Habeas2 At least with this HBHK writer, it won't split into two books. ;)
12:41:18 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Not planned at this time.
12:41:35 trboturtle2 So, Randall isn't writing HBHK?
12:41:41 Habeas2 GhostBear - Great! Because we haven't split a Handbook yet!
12:42:00 Habeas2 Trboturtle2 - Not ALL of it, no
12:42:23 * Habeas2 ponders a peanut butter bagel....
12:42:40 Klep mmmm.... bagel
12:42:49 sarcasmo Habeas2 should ponder bacon
12:42:59 trboturtle2 So, no threee volume set oon House Kurita? :D
12:43:09 GhostBear Habeas2 Trboturtle2 if Randall overwrites, the entry story will be a novel instead of a short.
12:43:43 Habeas2 Trbotrutle2 - House Kurita's not even remotely that interesting.
12:45:33 sarcasmo Snap!
12:46:33 SLDF_Gunslinger Will the Reagan SDS be covered in any detail in the Historical's? Will we get rules for it (ala the JHS:Terra drone decision tree rules, etc)?
12:47:00 Gaiiten Given the massive decimation of the capital warship fleets (and old designs) in the Jihad era, will new warship be built or does the future belong to the pocket warships and warships will be more like PWS- and aerospace carriers?
12:47:23 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - We thought about that, but then asked ourseles "who really cares about that whole SDS thing now?)
12:47:24 mib_ip9xn0 Sorry I am late. . .miss much?
12:47:46 Vandal Just the end of the world
12:47:50 Habeas2 Gaiiten - In the future? You won't see as many WarShips, no.
12:48:03 SLDF_Gunslinger Hmm...I'll take that as a 'No' then
12:48:09 Habeas2 Mib_ip9xn0 - Only about 40 minutes of chat time.
12:48:50 mib_ip9xn0 Sorry. . .couldn't get to a computer until now. :(
12:49:50 Gaiiten But new warships will be built (in much smaller numbers)?
12:50:28 SLDF_Gunslinger Will we see any more Royal units to better flesh out the end of the SL Era? Or has that well run dry? ;)
12:50:41 martian I liked how we met Adept Edelle Kearny (from Fall of Terra) again in JHS. Or Galaxy Commander Russou Howell. Do you plan similar encounters in the future?
12:50:49 * Habeas2 returns to the computer with his bagel
12:51:03 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - You can take it that way, but you'd be wrong.
12:51:14 SLDF_Gunslinger :D
12:51:28 SLDF_Gunslinger Excellent! Thanks!
12:51:42 Habeas2 Mib_ip9xn0 - DOn't apologize to us, but I hope you brought enough of whatever delayed you for everyone
12:52:28 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Maybe. If, you know, we ever work out how to build them so that three different design programs don't come up with three different tonnage discrepancies.
12:52:33 mib_ip9xn0 They frown on giving away family.
12:53:06 Habeas2 Martian - As we move forward, not as many; after all, we're preparing a move to the Dark Age once this Star League craze blows over...and that's a big jump
12:53:09 GhostBear martian Maybe. that's part of the fun, bringing in side characters like that. Helps tie things together.
12:53:32 martian Exactly. Thanks.
12:53:38 Habeas2 Or, you know, what Ben said
12:53:43 Habeas2 :)
12:53:45 Klep is the new Hogarth cut from the same mold as his more famous relative?
12:53:49 mib_ep2tdq What is the next XTRO?
12:54:13 Habeas2 Mib_ip9xn0 - Uncertain. Could be Primitives 3, Gunslingers, Phantoms, Deep Periphery, of Succession Wars 1
12:54:28 GhostBear Klep Heavens I hope not. The universe is big enough for only one Hogarth and his ego.
12:54:45 faraday77 oh please, not another Hogarth
12:55:19 * Habeas2 shuts down the Hogarth factory
12:55:35 * Habeas2 gets a VERY evil idea...
12:56:06 Klep oh dear
12:56:07 SLDF_Gunslinger There's a shock... ;)
12:56:11 Klep i'm sorry in advance everyone :P
12:56:21 sarcasmo I love Hogarth!
12:56:28 mib_ep2tdq Thanks
12:56:37 GhostBear Habeas2 You know, i think I know what that idea is. *shudder*
12:56:58 Gaiiten Due the warship construction, what about calculating with pen and paper? Or does each factchecker come up with fifferent tonnages?
12:57:07 faraday77 the manei hogarthi? XD
12:57:27 DeJaVu Greetings, mr Beas and all) when the situation with bc.com get better? Stories was more than a month.You are not an editor, but still ...
12:57:31 Habeas2 GhostBear - If you know, then I chose my assistant wisely. :)
12:57:52 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Pen and paper has let us down bad.
12:58:40 Klep Gaiiten: i'm sure unit design is a long enough process with computer help. i've come up with stuff using p&p myself in the distant past and it's not something i'd want to do again
12:59:02 Habeas2 DejaVu - The lack of quality fiction on BattleCorps comes from a variety of causes, but perhaps the biggest is a dearth of quality writers. Jason isn't in the habit of passing crap along to the paying customer, and I stand by his standards.
12:59:46 SLDF_Gunslinger Will we be seeing any SL Era fiction from either BC or Blitzkreig release this year?
13:01:10 Gaiiten That the calculation is such a problem suprises me. IMHO it is simple math and well explained in sourcebooks.
13:01:47 Klep multiple people can all think that and still have different interpretations
13:02:00 Klep what's clear to you as meaning one thing can be clear to another as meaning another thing
13:02:10 DeJaVu I agree with you. It may be worth a monthly fee increase, but to make more great stories?
13:02:47 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - Jason will likely pick and choose any story that works for BC, so SL fiction is not out of the running there. The Blitzkreig series may see some SL-era fiction as well, but it really depends on what we can fit into its demanding schedule
13:03:46 SLDF_Gunslinger Gotcha. I loved 'The Last Full Measure' and would love to see more stuff like it...
13:03:51 Habeas2 Gaiiten - You'd be amazed at how many things got left to interpretation. Remember when HMAero defaulted to establishing spare parts and food storage automatically? That was never even a construction mandate.
13:04:20 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - .... Um, Last Full measure was Jihad era, wasn't it?
13:05:43 SLDF_Gunslinger Hmm.....I am only on my 2nd cup of coffee. I'm thinking of the story about the Gunslinger fighting on New Vandenburg at Fort Gorky. Anyway...
13:06:25 Habeas2 DeJaVu - I do not think we can justify a rate increase on BattleCorps if we cannot guarantee a solid flow of fiction. We're not getting few stories because people aren't being paid enough; we're getting them because continuity and editing standards are too high for just anyone to tell a tale with
13:07:43 Gaiiten You are right, however, that is a program we are easily trust in because it has been so comfortable. Given the "How to calculate a warship`s construction" you do have to calculate in certain steps, steps can easily compared to other person`s calculation and so mistakes can be found.
13:08:20 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Ah, but there's trust and then there's Herb's Trust. There's a reason Battle Value is on the chopping block now
13:08:32 Klep also, unit construction isn't a linear process. it's iterative
13:08:55 DeJaVu Will the light clans-sourcebook in the post-jihad era?
13:09:12 Moonsword And lack of computer support slows down the iterations.
13:09:19 Firedrake Are you prepared to say anyting about what the replacement for BV2 will (or may) look like?
13:10:59 Habeas2 DeJaVu - I'm afraid I don't understand that question
13:11:23 Habeas2 Firedrake - It may look like this: ___________________________________________________________
13:11:49 Firedrake A straight line! Truly, all my questions are answered! Praise Blake!
13:12:19 Habeas2 Firdrake - The point is, all options are on the table, including NO Battle Value system at all
13:13:03 Firedrake Fair enough! (I'm a user mostly in a theoretical sense - IMHO "balanced" battles may be interesting, but are wildly unrealistic.)
13:13:15 DeJaVu sorry( will be released Clans Inner Sphere-sourcebook after-jihad period?
13:13:18 mib_ip9x84 No balancing system?
13:13:44 Habeas2 Mib_ip9x84 - No Balancing System if it cannot be made simple and reliable.
13:14:19 Gaiiten Hmm, I think that is a challenge. Due the new BV, is the length of that straight line (in meters) the new BV?
13:14:29 Habeas2 DeJaVu - The universe does not end in 3085. There will be sourcebooks in the future that show us how the Clans and the Inner SPhere will evolve from here
13:14:54 * Habeas2 looks at clock.
13:14:56 DeJaVu thx, mr Beas
13:15:04 Firedrake Seconded
13:15:10 Habeas2 BattleChat will end in 16 minutes
13:15:48 Gaiiten But the HomeClans will be hidden in the void for an undetermined peroid?
13:15:57 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Correct
13:16:13 mib_ip9xn0 And the Scorpion Empire?
13:16:25 Gaiiten My question to the new BV or to the HomeClans?
13:16:28 Klep the scorpion empire is such a cool concept
13:16:41 GhostBear mib_ip9xn0 same.
13:17:04 mib_ip9xn0 Hidden in the void.
13:17:25 GhostBear mib_ip9xn0 yes.
13:17:36 Habeas2 Mib_ip9nx0 - What about the Scoprion EMpire? ;)
13:17:41 DeJaVu Release paper books as far?
13:18:03 Habeas2 Gaiiten - Home Clans. I ignored your BV question
13:18:20 Habeas2 DeJaVu - Again, not sure I understand your question
13:20:35 SLDF_Gunslinger Will the FM:SLDF be written in the vein of the older FM's (FedSuns, etc)? Will we be getting writeups for specific Divisions, etc? Or will it not be going into that sort of detail?
13:21:24 DeJaVu sorry( Any news regarding the new paper books publishing?
13:22:30 Habeas2 SLDF_Gunslinger - The SL era was a time of truly monstrous force sizes, so no, we're going to use an Updates-style approach that condenses the groupings better
13:22:52 Habeas2 DeJaVu - At this time, we are not printing novels. The Blitzkrieg series now underway is an e-reader format only.
13:23:02 Habeas2 8 minutes remaining
13:23:08 Gaiiten Given the vast number if SLDF divisions I think the most reasonable would be something like the summary of the Comguards armies and divisions old FM: Comstar. May the armies splitted in the Corps.
13:23:28 SLDF_Gunslinger Thanks for answering my question! You all have a great day....
13:24:50 Gaiiten Due the WOB, will we see what happened to Berith and the Opacus Venatori?
13:25:07 GhostBear Gaiiten Maybe.
13:25:16 mib_ep2tdq thanks again for Blitzkrieg series
13:26:21 Habeas2 Mib_ep2tdq - You're welcome!
13:26:25 Gaiiten Fine, Berith is a very interesting character and what he did in Final Reckoning was a thrilling story and track to play.
13:26:54 GhostBear Gaiiten Oh don't get me wrong, I *want* to tell more of his story. I just have a lot on my plate for the moment.
13:27:35 Gaiiten I am patient :) BTW why did he hate the Clans so much?
13:28:23 Habeas2 Gaiiten - They said bad things about his mother
13:28:28 GhostBear Gaiiten He's a Tukayyid vet. Isn't that enough?
13:28:34 Habeas2 2 minutes
13:29:43 Habeas2 1 minute
13:29:51 Gaiiten He was a professional soldier, so he knew what to expect in such a fight and did and suffered worse in the Jihad, did his attitude towards the Clans change?
