I'm happy with the Prime configuration. It's well-balanced and has no problems with heat.

I see the appeal of the Prime, but am partial to the A myself. I really want to test out the S, alas I've not had the opportunity.

Question for the Ravens...

I thought the Ravens were capable of building Lola III's and Fredasas. 

Can a Raven fan confirm or deny this?  Or am I mistaken?  Either way is fine.

So far as I can recall, Quatre Belle is the only facility for starship construction in the Raven Alliance. It builds JumpShips and is capable of repairing WarShips. I don't recall any mention of the Ravens having the ability to manufacture new WarShips.

I'll double check to be sure.

^^ This.

Just finished looking through my PDFs. JumpShips only at Quatre Belle, and there's no mention of what classes are manufactured there either.

WarShips are pretty much defunct during the Dark Age. Given the rise of the Pocket WarShip, we're unlikely to see their return, though I would happily be proven wrong.

Thanks for the info, guys.

I hope the Warships make a return, as well.  If so, I'm sure the Raven will lead the way.

Fear of sabotage over the last decade has seen security at Clan shipyards improved so that access is nearly impossible, but ongoing probes by the DMI have revealed rumors of further construction at Quatre Belle.

Someone thinks they can build Warships.

Yes!  If anyone can do it, it is the Snow Raven. 

Thanks for chiming in with that information, Jellico.

Barring a change of BattleTech universe focus, I wouldn't imagine that we see a significant rise of WarShip numbers. As a literary choice, the Two-Power Standard navy of the pre-War of Reavings Snow Ravens was fun and fine, but I doubt that we'll see a "Ravens increase WarShip navy from 17 to 30!" event. If more WarShips appear, I would predict that the Ravens may gain a single ship of a brand-new class. Better for TROs, better for story, better for dynamic change in the universe, and better for not breaking faction balance.

Some nice Raveny stuff in TRO Golden Century. Interestingly, the Raven Alliance appears to have put the Pulverizer back into production. It's making the Fedrats crap their drawers  >:D

It seemed a little vague on whether these are new production models or refits.  There's no question that the Ravens are the foremost producers of Warhammer IICs.

Yeah... the Leviathan III-class a joint Snow Raven/Ghost Bear project. How many are we getting? Who knows for sure. How long will they last? Not a clue, but hopefully long enough to put a smack down on someone (like the IlClan perhaps) and not be destroyed meekly but gloriously in an epic battle.

Also forgot to order Golden Century... must have now.

Unless the Combine attacks either faction I foresee the Snow Ravens becoming treasure hunters looking for old Star League Castle Brian’s and the Ghost Bears strengthening their bonds in the Dominion and maybe expanding into the Barrens.  According to the Spotlight on: Thermo Police the Snow Ravens have their hands full.
