Tried Mazinger Edition Z.

I forgot how bad the racist caricatures could be in some of those old animes.

you kidding? even today i get case of giggles when i see those stereo types...one would think one would grow out of those but character and story wise i still like wb cartoons 1930 circa 1970 and btw disney was no better either or mgm ...then it is history we may not like it but have to accept it. oth that time gave us the greats chuck jones tex avery hana barbera and men and women that did the voices...
the era inspired a lot of japaniese anime we do so enjoy today

BattleTech Game Errata / Re: Master Unit List (MUL) Feedback Thread IV - READ THE FIRST POST

Looks like I made another mistake in formatting my Tau Wraith request. Forgot the link. Sorry.

Tau Wraith: http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3166/tau-wraith
Tau Wraith is missing the LPRB and RCN abilities it should have from the Multi-Modal Cybernetic Eyes (Sensory Implants) listed on pg.207 of TRO: 3085 that describe a 2 Hex active-probe ability. Multi-Modal Sensory Implants grant LPRB and RCN per pg. 147 of Alpha Strike Commander's Edition.

Fix:
Add LPRB and RCN to Tau Wraith. Recalculate PV if necessary. The MUL already has the C3I ability from the Boosted Communications Implant.

Did they ever correct the scaling / size issues with the Premium Phoenix Hawk and Rifleman?

Not that I've heard.  Same goes for the other issues with the Rifleman.

That's true, but Infernos are Battletech's only Instant Death Effect attack that isn't a nuke.

I believe that large pulse lasers are one of the few Clan weapon systems that we have yet to see an IS power produce natively, but that would make for some fantastic upgrade potential.

so switch over to using a trio of CERLL's. the damage and heat work out about the same as using the pulse lasers, and you save a few tons plus get better range.

Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Is it time for an Underwater Rules Overhaul (?)

In vacuum you may have to deal with radiation issues, but in the sea you will definitely need larger maintenance crews and have to deal with corrosion too.  Whatever you can build in space would last longer and will always be more useful than an underwater facility that can never reposition itself.  Defensively used as a fortification.  Sure.  I'm just questioning the practicality of it in comparison to a space shipyard and warships.  The purpose for anything down there is to hide whatever it is you don't want to be observed.  You can call it security if you want to, but it sounds like a replay of Bioshock to me.

I think it has to be Miller. It was a great character and Thomas Jane really sold the part. I also really enjoyed Bobbie’s arc.

He certainly MADE that roll, but for me, i'd have to say either Amos OR Drummer.  Bobbie  comes in a close 3rd for me.


As for tonight's viewing pleasure, i just watched Gran Torismo.  LOVED IT...
