Nyet. Iz fine.
Actually, I can't find a single thing I'd actually change on this one, and the only weird alternate idea I had would be to go with a small cockpit, convert the SPL to a Laser AMS, and the CASE to CASE II using the ton you gain, but that's hardly necessary.

how much attention do the novels give to the lower castes?

Aerospace Combat / Re: Coventional Fighter with Fusion - Why Fuel?
« Last post by Cannonshop on Today at 16:01:07 »Hello
I have just arrive to the Inner Sphere and as i was looking to the conventional fighters with Fusion engines at my militia base i realize that they need Fuel... Why?
We have very powerful electric engines and compressors as well as high bypass or even Scramjets. We fly in a compressible fluid and got a electric & heat generator aboard this machines why do they need fuel if not for Postcombustor for the extra push or to climb to the limit and see the space
PS: i suppose it's do the game mechanics but if I'm wrong please tell me (Do LAM needs fuel once in atmo?)
It's not so much FUEL, as reaction mass. yOu can use the fusion engine to heat up a given liquid, under compression, and ride the steam. Basically the advantage of a fusion powerplant in an airframe, is that if you have a reactive liquid (doesn't have to be jet fuel) it'll work as reaction mass.
battletech doesn't have gravity control, something has to come out the nozzle end, or your airfame isn't going to be flying.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Mercenaries Kickstarter Discussion 6: the 1st 3rd Star League conversation
« Last post by Pat Payne on Today at 15:59:15 »My read on the update was very much:
“Here is a list of things we’ve found and fixed. Here are the results people will (future tense) see. Here’s some background and support information.”
That suggests that numbers should be converging on “correct”, but very much reads as a process in motion to me.
The promised timeline is getting short so I’d expect more information soon, but I am not seeing an all clear so far.
My shipping's still zeroed out, so yeah, it's still being worked on. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Kickstarter is not a game for the short of patience.
