BattleTech: Clan Invasion Kickstarter Discussion, Vol. 1

[MarauderD]

I'm so excited for the three Inner Sphere lances with the new sculpts, I don't know what to say. 

I'm sitting here at work smiling and everyone thinks I'm nuts.

[Jester006]

Quickly closing in on the 300k mark.

There are going to be some busy artists, too.

[DEZOAT]

 :o :o :o  Its still growing!!!  Well I did the happy dance when IS BattleLance was unlock now on to the IS FireLance 8) P.S. The Clan Mech are growing on me right now.Put extra for the dice bag.

[cypher226]

In at Bloodnamed so far, but will probably push up before the end  :)

I'll be adding some additional lances as well, if I'm honest with myself!

[MarauderD]

As for the extra lances, yeah.  With a call sign like mine, you know one Marauder isn't going to cut it.  Also, that new Pixie sure is purty.

Don't worry someone going to steal alot plastic milk cases to send to China that for sure.

That's what pushed me over the fence to Star Colonel. When they said "Classics, New Atlas and New Orion" it was all over and my wallet was mugged  ;D

[cobaltcoil]

In for Star Captain at #445...Dice Bag looks nice as does that Timber Wolf Metal Statue and the Inner Sphere Retaliation, but we shall see at the end of the kickstarter. :thumbsup: :drool: ;D

[Doom]

I hope whoever gets to be the main character in a novel is Bob Smith or something completely innocuous and similarly commonplace.

[BlCharger]

I'm holding off pledging more until I see what else might be added as stretch goals. Sitting here at Star Colonel, some of the add-ons (Retaliation set and extra lances) are really tempting me. I know I want some of those Elemental Stars for the Ghost Bear trinary I want to build.

I just have to figure out how much it's all going to cost me for the extra stuff.

[Silverline]

Will we get some visuals of the later Lance/Star boxes? I'm dying to see the new Atlas

[PyreLight]

Hey Chubby and others working on this Kickstarter,

Would it be possible to add another add-on of, say, a print or a poster of the gorgeous artwork you are using? I see there's a digital wallpaper for us, how about adding a print or poster of either that or the cover?

[Kit deSummersville]

Hey Chubby and others working on this Kickstarter,

Well, asking like that's not gonna get you far.  :P

[abou]

You guys are going to need a bigger boat... I mean stretch goals.

[Cubby]

Now that we are up to four lance/star packs unlocked, will the campaign continue to be double the packs you selected for your tier or is it possible to get one of each of the boxes? I would jump to the $150 tier immediately if it meant that I could just get four distinct packs.

Yes, it's double ONLY those you selected for your tier. So if you pick a Clan Command Star and an IS Command Lance, but add on an IS Direct Fire Lance, you'll get a second copy of the Clan Command Star and an IS Command Lance.

Hey Chubby

I'll pass that along. I'd buy!

We're less than $1,000 away from having that unlocked, so I'm hoping they'll show it sometime down the line.

Too late, threshold already broken.

[BlCharger]

And we're at the 300k mark. Just over 3 hours to reach it. Wow.

My goodness, let me get this straight.  So at Star Colonel, you get to pick 5 lance packs and they ALL GET DOUBLED? 

I'm going to start cackling with glee if I'm reading that right. 

[Jester006]

BOOM!  300k!  Congrats!

[Jester006]

Aye, you read it right laddie.

Up to 55 mechs in total for Star Colonel.  5 Star Packs (25 mechs) x2 plus the 5 from Invasion box.  =)

[Bedwyr]

Yeah, look at the number of mechs on the pledge level and cross-check/convince-yourself by doing the arithmetic at home; it'll add up. For me, Bloodname does, in fact, double, adding up to 25 total Mechs and the loss of a lot of acrylic paint and several cans of matte coat.

[Xiwo Xerase]

I gave in and increased my pledge to Star Colonel.

Would you please include a picture of the leather dice bags (or a mockup) in a future update?

[Wildonion]

Yes, it's double ONLY those you selected for your tier. So if you pick a Clan Command Star and an IS Command Lance, but add on an IS Direct Fire Lance, you'll get a second copy of the Clan Command Star and an IS Command Lance.

That part I understood. What I was wondering is if there were plans on changing the doubling into being able to just pick four of the packs. (I imagine you are swimming in questions between the forums, social media, and everything else going on. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions!)

[Pat Payne]

A newly redesigned Hatchetman?!? (faints dead away) :thumbsup: :rockon: :excited:

[DEZOAT]

 ??? It just dawn on me Clan pack get you 5 mechs and a blind box mech. IS pack get you 4 mechs and blind box mech. If I go with some IS mechs I lose a mech  ::) . Thats a bummer.

[Greatclub]

I don't think you get the blind with the clan packs.

[Bedwyr]

I don't think you get the blind with the clan packs.

From re-reading the Clan pack verbiage that appears to be correct.
