Dear Battletech Development team.... I am currently being forced to learn a four month neuro anatomy course in two weeks....

As such I am unable to be an armchair game developer and tell you what you professionals are doing wrong....

So I would like to instead ask you what I think is the real reason people are complaning now that we have sick miniatures...

Please give me stuff to shoot. I play Clan Sea Fox (other people probably want their own factions to shoot stuff.) Also please don't kill all of my dudes.

Thank you. I will be able to use my fully functioning brain again in 8 months rather than whatever it is I'm controlling my meat on stardust body with currently.

Stretch request: Clan Sea Fox still needs some omni fighters that look as sick as the Word of Blake Omnifighters. Now that we own the free worlds league there has to be a way for that to happen. Will pay cash money for this. I assume other players want their own things too.

If the Sharks give the Mariks an Omni-Aquila, that would great.

Kitsune413 · « **Reply #783 on:** 06 September 2018, 05:43:22 »

When you say Mariks I think you meant the SpIna Khanate Commonwealth...

The Free Sea Fox League? Fox League? The Sea Fox Dominion? We'll work out the name....

Just kidding maybe.

But they aren't Sea Fox players, so... you know... whatevs.

Weirdo · « **Reply #786 on:** 06 September 2018, 08:16:10 »

We should probably avoid any name that implies that we give a Fox.

After all, everything has a price. :)

Please don’t hide a link behind a spoiler tag like that. Clicking on it to reveal the spoiler launches the link without giving the user a chance to decide if they want to launch it or not. That could have dire consequences depending on the link.

How’s the quality? Compatible to conventional printing runs?

Someone with accurate knowledge can confirm, but I *think* my GenCon copy used the PoD process. My experience is that it's of excellent quality that you would find in any manga format (stiff paperback cover, longer format, clean white pages rather than the older coarser paperback print runs).

Cubby · « **Reply #794 on:** 07 September 2018, 13:59:12 »

Just a little necro-threading: there's a slightly older discussion thread under "Novel and Sourcebook Reviews" for the Legacy anthology, for those who might be interested.

Aside from the size, I don't really notice any difference between this in the old novels. Betrayal of Ideals is the same.

Bedwyr · « **Reply #796 on:** 07 September 2018, 16:02:54 »

As Cubby pointed out, I want (as mod) to direct your attention to the linked thread regarding the Legacy PoD service. I'll probably be moving some of the posts there in a bit to encourage discussion.

Excellent, for now. I've read the first story and thumbed through the rest of the book. It seems to be no different in terms of quality than any of the other anthologies or most recent print releases.

Two new products, ready to drop in the next few days!

Touring the Stars: Stotzing

The Star League’s terraforming technology brought life to worlds struggling to survive, and wrought miracles on landscapes thought uninhabitable. But Stotzing is proof that even miracles can be undone by human hands, and not all those who seek to repair them are angels…

Touring the Stars is a whistle-stop tour of the universe! Every system and planet where mankind treads in the BattleTech universe has a story, for those with the drive to explore it. Take a tour of the stars humanity now calls home, experience awesome new worlds, immerse yourself in the local civilization, and prepare to do battle in exotic locales.

Spotlight On: 1st Marik Protectors

In the fires of the Jihad, a handful of brave souls placed honor before duty, service before survival, and the people of their shattered nation before all others.

Considered traitors by some but heroes by those they watch over, the 1st Marik Protectors rose from the ashes of the Free Worlds League to protect worlds at the far-flung edge of their fallen nation. An elite cadre of warriors, the Protectors’ dedication to safeguarding the lives of their countrymen is nearly unmatched in the Inner Sphere.

The Marik Protectors exist to offer a single hope to the citizens of these outcast worlds: that when darkness closes in, there will be a light shining for them, a hammer and anvil to smite any who would disrupt their peace, a shield against all the ills the Periphery holds. Protectors, behind whom they may rest.

Spotlight On: 1st Marik Protectors includes a Unit History, Personalities, Personnel Rosters, Mission Tracks, and data for use with all scales of BattleTech play.

Glad to see the Spotlight series is back in the rotation.

For some reason, I saw that Stotzing logo and immediately though of the old George Carlin bit about worshiping the sun and Joe Pesci.

I enjoyed the Spotlight On that we got. Looking forward to picking this one up as well. I always thought the ‘purple pirate punchers’ was a better name, but I guess Marik Protectors isn’t bad. Just kind of funny that they didn’t manage to protect...well...Marik, from being claimed by the nomadic leftovers of clan peyote kitten.

Like many after-school kids comedies, the Nova Cat's entry into the Free Worlds League was marked by distrust, miscommunication, and excessive violence, but now they're a full member of the family, trusted by all except crotchety old Great-Uncle Lester.

I may have overreacted on Facebook to the Marik Protectors announcement. I'll be more restrained here...but those are my boys. I'm so psyched for this!
