What future Battletech products do you await the most?
« on: 12 August 2012, 15:23:30 »
With all the talk about the future of Battletech and the Dark Age, let us discuss what future products do you await and look forward to the most?

For my self, my picks would be:

- Seeing the Objective series finished, especially Objectives: Clans. We can make some assumptions about the production in the periphery and the former FWL, but with the relocation of two Clans we know next to nothing of which old designs they have put into production.

- More XTRO:Primitives. I am studying the early development of the battlemech, and the lack of info on several early designs means that there are annoying holes in the knowledge-base. I would especially like to see early Orion, early Griffin and early Archer.

- RS3067unabridged. Another hole record-sheet availability that needs to be filled ASAP.

- Handbook: House Kurita. I do not like being lacking in info about a major faction, especially one that can easily be labeled as near-automatic antagonist. I want to have the possibility to give it a fair evaluation.

- Historical: Liberation of Terra, Vol 2: To be honest, I am more interested in the aftermath, like why the dismissal of Kerensky and the Exodus happened, than in the Liberation itself.

- ISP 3: Interstellar Expeditions (or whatever the name will be): A lot of mysteries to get into. What game was IE playing during the Jihad? Who are the Green Ghosts? What is hiding out there in the periphery?

- 3150 Whatever: It is time for CGL to show off their vision of the future.

So, what products are you waiting for?

FM 3150.
A 3150 official PDF map that can actually be viewed at varying zoom levels.
Objectives 3150, which is pretty much where the Objectives series should have been set up in the first place (that or 3095). I realize this product will never, ever happen.
The rest is pretty much stuff I find that is just killing more time until we can finally move past the era that has lingered far too long.

Interstellar Operations Volumes 1 & 2


Did I miss an announcement (very likely) that this is going to be 2 volumes now?

Anyhow, my list before I spotted that was going to be Interstellar Ops and Housebook Kurita.

Ah, got it. Yeah, I wouldn't have been surprised if it became 2 since it sounds like there will be a lot in there and since I tend to miss announcements like that I had to ask.

Im looking foward to most of those items.

Looking foward to:
IO's
More XTRO's
Liberation of Terra Volume 2
Handbook: House Kurita

Not really looking forward to the Dark Age stuff, I would like the TRO 3150, and the ER3150 just so I know whats going on more.

Anything IO related.
Handbook Kurita.
AToW Companion.
Anything else is gravy.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

So, what products are you waiting for?
In the short term, wrapping up the Objective series. Beyond that, everything.

Anything set in the 3150s. I think TRO, era report and FM. Also something that drives the plot in that era.

The second half of the Liberation of Terra arc is pretty interesting to consider, as is Interstellar Expeditions; but the stuff I'd most look forward to would be the 3150 material.
