Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Design Quirks you'd like to see? Negative ones too!
« Last post by Mechanis on Today at 20:17:33 »(+1/+2/+4) Hanger Queen: Some vehicles, no matter what their design specs say, just need maintenance constantly to not break down. Such designs are given the sarcastic epithet of "hanger queens" thanks to their constant demands on one's tech crew...
A unit with the Hanger Queen design quirk requires maintenance more often than a standard unit. Hanger Queen may be taken multiple times; for the first rank, reduce the time between required maintenance cycles by one quarter, for two ranks, by one third, and for three ranks by half. This Quirk is incompatible with the Rugged design quirk.
(It's Anti-rugged, basically)
(-2) Stately Grace: It might not be fast, but it can turn on a pinhead.
Large Craft with the Stately Grace design quirk may double their effective thrust points for performing same-hex manuvers, such as altering orientation or facing, so long as they use only Safe thrust.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: If you could get pre-painted BattleTech figures, would you?
« Last post by klarg1 on Today at 20:16:42 »I would not preferentially buy pre-painted minis, and don’t really want to pay a premium for them, but I am not particularly bothered by the prospect.
Pre-paints can be great for players who want more than gray plastic but don’t want to paint.
I probably *will* buy one or more force packs with painted minis in them, so I guess the most honest answer is “yes”?

BattleMechs / Re: 'Warcriming the Militia' - Battlemechs of the WoB
« Last post by Red Pins on Today at 20:14:54 »Okay, so no VDNI.
Switching the Single Heat Sinks for Compact Heat Sinks and using an XL Gyro in order to fit a couple of Jump Jets should still work though.
If they have it? Maybe. But the wonder-tech is fading into the past quick - they didn't save the equipment, technicians, textbooks, and the thousand and one other things that make XL gyros possible. Similarly, if they didn't pack compact HS, the corner store is closed.
The New Clans have spent hundreds of years preparing to be found and finish the Wolverine Trial of Annihilation. There is literally no way the Allies can steal from a Clan without paranoid, scorched-earth tactics being implemented immediately.
Still, they have some unique tech, and I decided to use the laser HS idea for vehicles, so they are MUCH more dangerous than Clan or IS vehicles.

« Last post by Fat Guy on Today at 20:02:59 »A whopping 12 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers took to the skies to cap off the recent Spirit Vigilance exercise. This was so many of the bombers that none of the official pictures from the event show all 12 aircraft at once. This one got closest with 11.
