Things should be ready to fulfill on time once the payment issues are resolved.

Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Design Quirks you'd like to see? Negative ones too!
« Last post by RifleMech on Today at 14:10:40 »I didn't say that.
That are two completely different causes.
Whole class? Quirks are for specific equipment/vehicle combinations.
The only ancient point defense weapons are machine guns, ancient pe-primitive prototype lasers, and Phalanx systems. So why would machine guns still be effective but the others wouldn't be?
To aim a mass driver you have to aim the warship or space station. That's just how guns that aren't mounted on a flexible mount would be aimed.
I think we're talking past each other on this one. Specific weapon/vehicle Good. Class of weapon (as your ancient point defense) Bad.
Positive quirk: Undocumented feature
Negative quirk: Gremlins
As Gremlins exist that quirk totally works.

« Last post by Fire Scorpion IIC on Today at 13:55:50 »Why would they be starved of entertainment?
Clan Spaniel was the most popular kids show (across all Clans) but it doesn't mean it was the only kids show
Especially if you take into account ones who were popular locally and not often sold to other Clans

Clan Chatterweb / Re: Terra. Home to ilClan Wolf.
« Last post by Metallgewitter on Today at 13:31:48 »There is one thing about having the choice to watch it or have it shoved down your throat. That was my original assumption. Terra is not like the Clan homeworlds where you were basically starved of entertainment. Unless of course they also flood other entertainment avenues that are a hallmark of Terra like the virtual worlds and so on.

The Inner Sphere / Re: What tech actually becomes obselete
« Last post by Metallgewitter on Today at 13:27:45 »A Clan LRM 20 weighs 5 tons. That is before other considerations.
Now the Inner Sphere has more professional strategies around the employment of LRM boats which will likely be retained.
A Longbow with 4 Clantech LRM 20 launchers. Now THAT is fire support even in the knife fighting range

The Inner Sphere / Re: What tech actually becomes obselete
« Last post by OatsAndHall on Today at 12:49:27 »What if autocannons got improved to the HBS game specs damage? Would people still use them?
AC/2 5 dmg
AC/5 9 dmg
AC/10 12 dmg
AC/20 20 dmg
With those damage bands AND the ability to use specialty ammo, they'd still have a place. Well except the LB10X. That's superior to the AC/10 in everyway
Absolutely... Especially with the AC/2's range. Spitting out 5 damage at 24 hexes can't be ignored... Heck, pulling into medium range at 16 hexes would make the AC/2 nasty.
