I could see the Home Clans digging into the wreckage of the Ancestral Home and/or the Zalman and utilizing the best tech improvements from these ships. Provided enough time and wreckage. And I would assume the Home Clans have plenty of each.

We now have IS Tech, Clan Tech, and SUPER Clan Tech! :D

Despite their initial response to Society Tech, the Home Clans don't look like they will put up much resistance to the advancements it brings.

Like a pulse gauss rotary munch cannon tied to a targeting computer?

A NavalPPC at the size of a regular ER PPC, so that it can be mounted on an omnimech.
Something like that to make duels with that tainted IS Clan stravags a bit ... surprising.

Well after five years, which is like 60 months, I make warrant officer on the forums. Meanwhile this thread that I started after five years is only at page 42. Lol

Omni-Protomechs and XL-reactors for Protomechs could be a good improvment for Protomechs.

Sub-capital PPCs, sub-capital pulselasers and sub-capital gauss cannons would be a nice extension of the arsenal either.

The Sub capital weapons sound like a good idea, would be nice to see more assault dropships in the arsenal.

On the cover of Wars of Reaving SB there are some Elementals equipped with a different kind of backpack.
Instead of the SRM there are many *holes*.

What weapon could that be? Some kind of a *grapeshot/canistershot*?

At some point somewhere, Ben said it was going to be a new BA-scale weapon, but the cover was started before the weapon design was completed and the the BA weapon never made it out of the design stage.

In this post given early WoR concept (see here: https://benhrome.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/what-was-before-is-not-what-was-to-come/) hyper-enhanced Advanced Elementals are mentioned.
What would they have been? A improved genotype? A new battle armor? Or both?

Since it's talking about Society troops, to me that reads like he was talking about virotherapy-enhanced Elementals in some way.

Could be, but I doubt that the idea of virotherapy-enhancment was developed then.

A good idea for the Homeclans to improve their society would be introducing and using an increasing rate of automation.

I do not think of automated weapons (as to drone Mechs or so on) but of maintenance robots, full-automated mining or production facilities and do on.

Humans are the warriors who dominate, machines feed the warriors.

In real life we have been approaching more and more Industry 4.0. Would be very appreciated if this could have some influence in future storyline.

That pretty much says it all... 3 years since the last Adder post.

Come on, we're the ilClan in all but name, where's everyone hiding? :)

There's still a few Star Adder fans kicking around the forum, quietly biding their time for when they reveal their might.

Which TRO?

As long as it has a few fast/jumpy mediums with multiple HML tied to a TC (or ATM's), I'll be happy. Both weapons are very hard hitting and very cheap in BV, even with a TC to eliminate the penalty for the heavy lasers. When mounted on a highly mobile platform their range issues are mitigated.

We need more official mechs that use the Adder signature weapon and are actually built properly. Too many heavy laser designs put short range weapons on slow mechs or use inefficient HLL, especially on fragile units. Even worse, almost all keep the to hit penalty.

The Aries Games & Miniatures TRO. It's in layout now...after a few stumbles with other layout people. From the sounds of it...you won't be disappointed! >:D :thumbsup:

Post WOR do the adders have a “ hated” foe anymore? I know the coyotes hated them
But was that only one sided?

Dragon41673 · « **Reply #1259 on:** 19 June 2019, 18:57:44 »

Well...that's kind of what the TRO is about so I can't say...but...

In universe, they are dealing with the current bastion and aggressor ideology, but they don't "hate" anyone right now. They definitely have the Coyotes in check though because of their part of the society.
