« Last post by ANS Kamas P81 on Today at 03:00:08 »And that's assuming the Adders and the other Clans are still functional fifty years after the WoR; we simply don't know what's gone on in that timeframe. Like Tassa says, the surviving Clans may have simply fallen at each other tooth and nail, and there may be nothing left to worry about the 3132 blackout.

The Inner Sphere / Re: What tech actually becomes obselete
« Last post by ANS Kamas P81 on Today at 02:56:09 »That's because that technology was superseded by a more advanced and better technology.
That's also not to say we can't go back and rebuild the infrastructure required to make battleships and their heavy guns; it's not a lost technology as it is an obsolete one.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: If you could get pre-painted BattleTech figures, would you?
« Last post by jrvk777 on Today at 02:30:32 »Short answer, yes I would.
Longer would be - it depends (on a lot of factors), price, quality, utility, etc.
Sidenote:
I do envision a future where users would have 'customizable' color wraps of our favorite schemes, that we could just 'paste' on our unpainted mechs, and when we need another scheme, just strip out the old wrap, and use the new one. I can dream, can't I?
