Author Topic: HBS when will we get the Marauder and Warhammer? (Read 10610 times)

And until we hear otherwise directly from HBS, we should not assume they will be added in any time soon. Speculation is dandy, but demanding on an unrelated forum does nobody any good and only serves to breed unneeded resentment.

Don't see anyone demanding anything, just discussing it, which is exactly the reason that game forums exist.

They already had the Marauder and Warhammer in the alpha version of the game as evidenced by the gameplay walkthroughs, complete with animations and everything before the lawsuit happened. So it should be easier to simply put them back in the game again than starting to put new mechs into it

I know they had the Marauder in the alpha, but did they have the Warhammer?

And just because they were in the Alpha doesn't mean they were in a state that they could be easily re-added any more adding other 'Mechs that weren't in the Alpha.

Except they were not polished or finished and the new mechs we are getting? Probably started work on the expansion before the release actually hit.

SolahmaJoe's Hangar of the Dispossessed mod for Battletech now includes the Phoenix Hawk!

Once you install the mod, you can and will fight and salvage the Phoenix Hawk, Warhammer, Marauder, and Marauder II during the procedurally generated missions!

I altered my game constants and started a new campaign with the Pixie as my starting ride, it is a thing of beauty!

Best,

. . . so what you are saying is you could start off with a Shadow Hawk and pretend to be Grayson trying to help a rebellion?

Luciora · « **Reply #36 on:** 01 October 2018, 12:06:07 »

I like this idea. Not even that hard to do for the vanilla game if you know how to mod the .json files. :)

Is there a way to add more variants? the Chassis folder has all the variants in game, it seems. does it appear to be possible to add more (example, making a 5S or 5J version of the Trebuchet)? If so, has someone created a tutorial?

Luciora · « **Reply #38 on:** 01 October 2018, 15:21:55 »

I just add the requisite hardpoints to the chassis via .json files personally. No need for an external mod and no compatibility issues for differing versions.

Learned it from the beta days via the hbs forums and there is a YouTube video as well.

Most useful mech for this . . . the frigging Hunchback!

Does the appearance change or not? So if I take the -4G and make it a . . . -4N do I end up with AC & ML ports on the chest?

Luciora · « **Reply #40 on:** 01 October 2018, 18:26:16 »

Kinda..there's more in depth info about how to resize and modify placement but i'm happy enough just to have the additional hardpoints on the mech. You do end up with some odd looking designs, as the weapons sometimes do not size correctly or jut out from unexpected places. I think the ppc for example ends up on a bottom side mount instead of centered for a Hunchback for example. I love the SP and always have one in my bay ready to go.

Confirmation at MechCon 2018

YES... but not until after the Urban Warfare expansion pack...

Luciora · « **Reply #42 on:** 02 December 2018, 23:37:54 »

Until they name actual names, that's only the Warhammer and Marauder which were promised. There's still at least 5 other designs to be included. Hopes up though.

They do show up as enemies to be salvaged. HBS changed the way shops work, and I am not sure if they patched that portion yet.

Time to go to the vet. We now have Fleas

Of I install a mod, do I lose everything I have done to the vanilla game? I have 2 campaigns halfway, and would hate to lose them, even if some of the mods are very appealing. Concretely the ones that

1. Makes the IA more dangerous.

2. Introduce new sensible mechs that that enot extrarare like the hatchetman, crab and cyclops

3. Reduces the campaign to a more ebelievable mech level, with most encounters not including assaults and so many heavy mechs.

But as said, I do not want to lose what I have already.

As a reminder, this site has a long-standing rule against dragging in problems from elsewhere. If you have an issue with the moderation policies over at Paradox Plaza, you need to discuss it with that moderation team, not start slinging mud over here.

Also, while I agree that there should be more BattleMechs (more vehicles, too!), I'd prefer if people keep things polite in here.

My bad. I wasn't implying anything either way. Just stating I'm not aware if the mod makers patched that portion or not. My game is currently on hold waiting to see all the other mechs and mods being released.
