Custom designs /= canon designs. Unless you're trying to tell us something. 8)

I guess what I was getting at is certain Mechs present on the Society faction list are sufficiently fast enough to be useful for ferrying Protos with MagClamps around, like Hellion, Linebacker or Gargoyle, or at the very least could stand to have a Nova CEWS slapped on them.

They're custom designs that I'm trying to get made canon designs.

Good luck. Step one of that process is to make it to some level of the volunteer circles. The only one of those that isn't invitation only(to the point that asking tends to automatically disqualify you forever) is the Demo Agents.

Step two is to wait until they ask for design submissions, usually geared towards a specific upcoming product. There are no blind submissions, and it has been at least a few years since the last call for designs, and if you've heard of any new Reaving-era products coming up, you know more than me.

It was part-way through the process, then it got stopped for reasons not specific to it. Then there was maybe a way to work it in, but that fizzled out. Still trying to find somewhere to make it happen.

Haha, I figured you were simply explaining the process for everyone on the outside, just so no one expects anything to come soon

...sure. Let's go with that. :)

Please try to shoehorn a Society glider proto in there. Maybe one that doesn't suck like the Hobgoblin. That would be a kindness.

I'd like to see some vehicles with Nova CEWS installed as well. Maybe even a VTOL.

New units, or variants of existing units? If the latter, did you have to get art commissioned by Plog? ;D

wantec · « **Reply #162 on:** 17 May 2018, 22:41:04 »

Yeah, got most of all of that in some form or another. But like I said, various things have derailed it for the timr being.

Does it seem out of character for Society forces to use Nighthawk PAL suits? Or what sort of infantry would you use?

i could see some Cells using them, since i'd imagine there would be a fair number left in the brian caches (stealthy commando BA being not very clanlike). but i'd imagine they'd be a case of "we can't really get much else".. since Nighthawk's really aren't ideal for battlefield use. especially in a 3 suit Un.

honestly i'm surprised we didn't get some new Society battlearmor, or at least some new Society battlearmor variant.

Actually that does seem like a good idea, they did have asses to Caches and data, while at the same time most of their infantry likely won't have the right phenotype for Elemental Suits. So there is means and motivation.

Or what sort of infantry would you use?

Conventional: Clan Space Marines & Clan Motorized Point (LRM)
BA: Suits made for normal infantry and cockpit based suits (Buraq, Warg)

Headhunter Toads, if any. Older Salamanders maybe some Standard, but not much.

More Mutagen Grunts the anything else.

Actually I was thinking of giving Nighthawks infantry support TAG to spot for artillery or for covert ops (sneak in and hack into the Clan firebase, destroy the HPG, sabotage the power plants, that sort of thing). I wasn't considering using them in a stand up fight.

What's the best idea you have to to get the most mileage out of the mutagrunts? Mauser IIC between the hands? Inferno SRMs?

Damage or Survivable?

TT

Crow · « **Reply #172 on:** 26 May 2018, 04:02:18 »

PBI--> Damage
BA--> Survivable

You can always find more willing test subjects to turn into Mutagrunts

Gaiiten · « **Reply #173 on:** 26 May 2018, 10:55:12 »

I can think of that the Society could not recruit many people of the Elemental genotype. These sem to be very conservative and loyal to the Way of the Clans.

Furthermore, maybe their Super Elementals were not ready for the fight, because neither the new bred nor the new BAs were ready.

And third, it seems that TPTB did not want to get to much new technologies introduced into the mess the WOR was.

Does anyone have any ideas of weaponized support vehicles for Society/bandit forces?

Something that might mount fluid gun or sensor dispenser, perhaps? I know that there's already the Mech mortar Flatbed truck and there are those Operation Klondike designs as well, although I don't know how I feel about them.

The Mech mortar Flatbed truck is pretty good, but as artillery it follows the rule: 'the more you bring, the more effective it is'.
But with advanced SV I usually think concealed carriers or mobile bases:

Cargo train with hidden VTOL platforms
Oil-tanker with internal yard
Permanently air-borne fixed-wing base

Which is why I gave him 2 Un of Resgate (P)AL... go with Spotter if you prefer, has LTAG and is FIREPROFF!

Those are combat vees. He was asking about support vees.
