Fan Scenarios and Campaigns / Re: Holographic training field rules?
« Last post by Charistoph on Today at 10:01:36 »Well, really two different scenarios to go with this; the intended training audience would have their sensors, including active probes programmed to read the holo-projections as real. Uninvited guests active probes would not. Fancy sensors might not be fool-able and the pilots would need to play along.
I'd say let your holo-projections do whatever a normal unit could do, except effective physical attacks. It's not hard-light afterall.
What if there was a back-door override that had been kept in the programming for centuries and no one ever thought about addressing or cutting it out, or when they did it caused the system to fail? I give them a little fluff about how their targeting systems seem to cycle unusually as they approach the field.
Before I got this information, I was going to treat them like the Beginner Box in a way. Basically, any through-Armor hit would cause the hologram to disappear as a kill. So wiping out the Armor normally or getting a TAC.
If anyone asks about it, I'd have them do a PSR to try and figure it out. Maybe give them a bonus for the same conditions as The Fall of Terra's standard.
Part of the story was that the Clanners scored far higher than the Spheroid commander would like, which means they engaged them pretty effectively and thoroughly instead of focusing on their original prey.
Of course, they could have just considered it another challenge and ran with it, too. Clanners be weird, after all.

« Last post by Charistoph on Today at 09:47:12 »Does anyone know how QML will be shipping (i.e. Ground or Air)?
Will they be shipping through another company (i.e. UPS, FedEx, Post, etc), and if so who?

« Last post by qc mech3 on Today at 09:21:46 »I guess Canada got hosed again. Got 2 different orders and only checked the biggest one before. chipping has gone up from 37 to 40% of the order and the second one is 66% percent of the order. 
I knew books were pricey but not like that.

« Last post by I am Belch II on Today at 09:10:47 »Mine did drop $50 to $100 shipping to Michigan. I'm glad for the drop but wish it could of been more.
Just never heard of taxes on shipping to Michigan.
I just wish I could order more, feel like I'm missing out on something.

« Last post by Weirdo on Today at 09:03:47 »We're still unsure. The artwork on the cover, for example, shows Lambda Galaxy colors and insignia.
Probably won't know for sure until we get IKEO.

« Last post by Cyc on Today at 08:47:41 »Company $150.00
Add-ons $110.00
Original Shipping Total was $33.86
Updated Shipping Total is $30.82
Was low, barely a needle move but only getting ForcePack adds on meant fairly regular box shaped volume.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Commander star placement for an SLDF commander?
« Last post by klarg1 on Today at 08:41:39 »Its mentioned that SLDF division commanders have a single star on the mech somewhere to denote its status. Where would it normally be at on a mech? And would it be in more than one location?
Out of curiosity, where is it mentioned?
(I am assuming this is different from the Cameron star which presumably appears on all SLDF units)

« Last post by cmerwin on Today at 08:28:42 »I'm wondering how many people who are getting $100+ for shipping in the US got neoprene mats in their orders or ordered at the regiment or higher pledge level.
Shipping to Atlanta. No neoprene on mine. The only thing I can figure (again, fingers crossed there is no snafu), is maybe the weight of the Limited Edition Universe Book?
