If you don't use Cash Purchase, I one hundred percent will. That is incredible.

Actually I am strongly leaning in that direction. It was not totally random, as I had generated a list of 12 first names and was running the random number generator for the bloodname, getting Fletcher, Cooper and finally Purchase. Then I saw Cash in the first name list and thought
... Oh, yeah... nice.

After playing Trial of Position I am proud to intrduce Star Commander Cash of the Purchase Bloodname.

What exactly are the Clan Colors? Red and Black?

truetanker · « **Reply #213 on:** 05 March 2019, 14:56:48 »

Which Galaxy? Cause traditional, it's Star League Grey, which is a greenish-grey... you could colour it a a little darker than medium grey, highlighted with flames... Black and Red is Widowmaker/Wolf's Dragoons.

I was thinking of making a home brew unit for Iota Galaxy, the 333rd Mechanized Strike Cluster (Hell's Highlanders) with this symbol.

Great name and logo, I can't wait to see what you put together.

Drewbacca · « **Reply #216 on:** 06 March 2019, 02:15:49 »

Something doesn't sit right with me with the logo. I think it is the horns.

truetanker · « **Reply #217 on:** 06 March 2019, 09:12:51 »

Horns? They look like ears on top of a horse.

The white objects in the logo look like horns to me.

Ah...now I see them, thought you were going Colts on me...

Suggest making the horns in flames or flame like pillars of fire.

A couple of new versions.

I am pretty sure this was asked before, but which of the classic Omnis were developed either by the Horses or partially b the Horses?

Of the original 16 Omnis? I think just the Nova & Hellbringer.

Also the Stormcrow, but the Horses weren't able to put it into production before losing Tokasha to the Bears. It was put into production by the Bears' allies, the Ravens. (I wonder if the Horses didn't call it something different during development.)

I have put myself into a tight spot. I wanted to go with the Iota Galaxy, but the mechs I like are all omnis. What are the chances Star Commander Cash Purchase and his star would have omnis in Iota?

Drewbacca · « **Reply #225 on:** 13 March 2019, 11:31:11 »

I would not want to have to create a new galaxy, a cluster is pushing it.

15-20%

Since it was based off of the Corvis, in TRO 3050U it's called the Omni-Corvis.

What era is this?

Drewbacca · « **Reply #229 on:** 15 March 2019, 10:14:31 »

Between late invasion and late Jihad. I am flexible as far as that goes.

Drewbacca · « **Reply #230 on:** 15 March 2019, 17:54:17 »

Does anyone here have the heavy jump infantry or fast recon minis from IWM? What is the quality like? Also, please post on my clan paint scheme thread.

With another Raven-esque name, I wonder if the Corvis was originally developed by the Snow Ravens, went out of fashion after the development of the omnimech except with the Horses, who then used the Corvis as the basis for the Stormcrow, which then went full-circle back to the Ravens after the Horses lost Tokasha.

Given that Iota is a dumping ground, it seems pretty unlikely the whole Star would end up with Omnis, even in the halcyon days of the back half of the 31st century. Mayyyybe the Star Commander would have an Omni since he's Bloodnamed, but personally I'd say anything beyond that would be pushing it.

Kojak · « **Reply #233 on:** 15 March 2019, 22:17:27 »

I'm looking at FM:U now and at least in 3067 you're looking at something like 2-4 Omnis per Cluster at best in Iota. Also, it's a secondline Galaxy, which means they don't use the Mechanized Clusters. Honestly, I think you'd probably be better off just running a frontline force, it sounds like that's what would suit what you're going for better anyway.

Do we have a founding date for Kappa Galaxy?

Sometime between the rise of James Cobb as Khan in 3065 and the release of FMU in 3067. I've not seen anything more specific than that.

Drewbacca · « **Reply #236 on:** 19 March 2019, 10:06:38 »

Well that should narrow it down enough. So for a warrior to join kappa at a lower experience level but still with experience, what would be the best time for him to be decanted, 3047, 3050?

Kojak · « **Reply #237 on:** 19 March 2019, 18:23:51 »

Mid-to-late 3040s, yeah.

Kojak · « **Reply #238 on:** 20 March 2019, 06:49:10 »

Hypothetical question: given that Vantaa is within Hell's Horses space, would it have been possible for the Horses to secretly fix up the wrecked Cage's Pride over the subsequent decades and hold it back as the ultimate ace in the hole?

Drewbacca · « **Reply #239 on:** 20 March 2019, 07:22:19 »

I am not sure if their yard is mobile, is it?
