The Inner Sphere / Re: Who do you find to be the most interesting character(s) as of 3152? Why?

« Last post by Church14 on Today at 08:25:56 »

Yori and Toranaga stood out for me as making the most DC the DC has felt in a long time. Since Toranaga died, that leaves her.

Othar stands out to me as the first interesting Clan Wolf Character since Ulric.

After that, it drops off dramatically for individuals and I’m more engaged with the faction as a character. If I had to pick a third, maybe Levin as I really want to see what the old soldier does now. The rest of my picks are dead and gone.

Is it possible that the premium mini looks bigger because of the pose?

That’s what I thought too. Maybe the legs are extended. But the torso dimensions are larger too. So the whole thing is scaled wrong.

It’s really a bummer. The Premium line would be amazing for alternate variants. It also makes little sense that there isn’t better QA control. Are prototypes sent to CGL for review and approval before releasing? It certainly doesn’t feel that way.

I guess Id rate the Bears draft a B at this stage since it was obvious Caleb Williams was gonna go and the team just emphasized a huge haul on offense- overall theres still plenty of holes though- especially on defense, though I'm somewhat satisfied.

But then again you never know how these picks pan out until years later, so this is just a general feeling.

As Cannonshop mentioned, a "conclusive link" isn't remotely necessary for the clanners...

Canon clanners are different from Ngoverse clanners.

And they had no reason to NOT want very good evidence before they believed a disgraced former warrior.

The only AOE weapon I see is actual artillery.  Both Artillery Cannons and 'Mech Mortars can get you AOE goodness in a slightly lighter package.

Fully Loaded dropships.


you said "the best" not "the most realistic" the absolute BEST thing would be to find a clan Overlord C, loaded with a full cluster of mechs, hardwear etc... and steal it.

Including crew and passengers.

Ground Combat / Re: Help/Recommendations Requested - Main Battle Tank (50T or less)

An additional +1 for the Goblin from me.

The Vedette is too much a sniper in its base consideration, with nothing to back it up.  It's basically a heavier Scorpion.

The Goblin still carries a gun that can punch holes in its main SW configuration, then has 2 more that can fill it up even more depending on if you want it from downtown or up in the grill.  While the Armor isn't amazing, it's still pretty good for its weight.  Toss in a few sassy squads of Infantry to be spotters or ambush harassers, and you have a decent medium tank.

Of course, this is coming from someone who hasn't actually deployed any, yet.  I will be deploying a Lance-worth this next Friday as part of a Clan campaign OpFor, along with a few other tanks for them to blow up.  I searched up and down what was available to figure out what to consider, and these look like the best option.

The fuel cell model Vedette’s tend to carry type 10 autocannons of some flavor or bombast lasers, so don’t see them as snipers myself.

Some even have Gauss rifles.

Watched Franklin on Apple+

Pretty good, some of the characters blend together, its kind of hard to tell which one does what.
I give it a 8 out of 10.
