Star Adders sound off.

True home for us!

-----------------

What do you think, for such a huge Clan, economic and military powerhouse, we have only designed a small number of homegrown designs, if of high quality.

I dunno, I found it highly entertaining.

I am curious to see what Adder fans think their fate might be.

With no info even up to the darkage era on any of the home clans i don't expect much.

you have no idea how many times that "i'm in combat" excuse has been used before. I couldn't care less if you're in a warzone or sitting right beside me. You treat the people on this forum with respect and that means not freaking out over a small joke.

As for how I am, I can't really complain, a little cold and the roads are a little slippery but other than it's all good.

and how old are you? are you even allowed to call me 'son'?

you're the only one trolling here pops. this is the most irrational discussion i've ever been in, all because you're so rediculously sensitive over a fictional faction.

That is an advantage, I believe. The whole upcoming story of What-has-happened-with-Homeclans is going to be told us by authors who I trust in telling us great stories and giving the universe the right (IMHO) "feeling", not like the original DA was done (IMHO).

Just remember, "blind spots" we have not been told so far, have great a future potential.

And, I am sure that at least some Adder bloodlines have survived ;)

Yeah i can agree with that. The authors have done a really nice job fixing the DA time line to have a better "feeling". Hopefully we get some great stories on the home clans sometime in the immediate future seeing as there hasn't been anything for awhile to move forward their stories, though i wont hold my breath just yet. ;)

The thing about lack of design bothers me for sure. See, the Nova Cats, yes, those that betrayed the Clans, left the HWs and now live in a habitat in Irece Prefecture, cranked out dozens of new designs, while viable Clans, except perhaps the Falcons, get only few. I find that not very logical, do you?

Devil's advocate, those are arguably the only designs they'll have easy access to (barring trade with the Sharks). Plus, the Wolves hadn't really set up major IS factories by the time of the Jihad, the Horses and Ravens were forced to rebuild on the move (by you guys, if I'm not mistaken), the Sharks seem to be focusing more on revamping secondline designs, and we don't have a lot of info coming from the Homeworlds (which means plenty of designs we aren't gonna immediately know about). Who does that leave to get stuff? Falcons (bleck).

Pa Weasley · « **Reply #25 on:** 03 February 2011, 10:20:29 »

There's a few factors to take into account with those new Nova Cat designs. 1.) Who knows what's going on in the home worlds. The Cats are simply more visable. 2.) The Cats had to rebuild post abjurement and lost access to much of their old manufacturing and supply. Rabids seem to be an attempt to reproduce Elemental BA within the constraints of existing infastructure and supply. 3.) Many are just new variants of existing chassis so minimal development was required. 4.) Many, including the variants, were produced with assistance from outside groups. Most notably the Diamond Sharks. 5.) Some of the new designs were just attempts to produce a home grow version of an existing mech (Ocelot for example).

Off the top of my head, the only completely from scratch new designs made without any outside help are the Arbalest, Sphinx, Thunderbird BA, and the Shoden and Joust vehicles.

Istal_Devalis · « **Reply #26 on:** 03 February 2011, 10:43:20 »

That and we dont have the resources to produce mass quantities of those designs anyways.

Klingon, checking in.

Wotan · « **Reply #28 on:** 03 February 2011, 11:22:24 »

But why should we need new designs ? There are enough omni chassis around that could fit all needed requirements. I would happy to hear we have fight some trials to get hand on some missing chassis, so that we can produce all we need for our own.

Developing countless new designs where is no need for, isn't the way we clans should go. I always liked the idee that Adders focus on the best that is. Developing just the few designs that fill some gaps.

GÃ¤iten · « **Reply #29 on:** 03 February 2011, 13:51:34 »

@ Wotan:
What gaps shall be filled in your opinion?

Because we can not build the Timberwolf, I would like to get a similar design. 70t with speed of 5/8, no jumpsets, endo steel chassis, FF armor.
