it's purely a clan unit except the probe. the only reason the BAP isn't a clan active probe is that it's about 15 years too early for the clan version to exist

I see, i was trying to use Solaris SkunkWorks recreate it, but i ran into problems. I don't think the program allows you designate what is a Clan part and what is Inner Sphere. So it won't work. I like the Mech over-all though.

MML does. i was able to recreate it without issue - clan everything except the BAP. the BV is weirdly ~700 off but that's another issue.

SSW does have that feature. You just have to change the rules setting to advanced or experimental and select the tech base as 'mixed'

i did. That when i ran into the issue. Mech works if all Clan but mix setting assumes it Inner Sphere chassis. I will zee if clan experiment al will allow it.
Anyways kudos to everyone who worked on TP Tokasha!

Both PDF are pretty decent I like the bunch of golden age designs stated out and another homeworld fluffed

The Fronc Reaches guild is cool as is the scenario they suckered the pirates into I like how it linked in with the previous Spotlight too

It was a nice read. I hope that we will soon receive new TRO's with new art.

cant wait for the TRO: Golden Century, which will detail these new Omni, Mechs and Omnifighters.

You know whats weird? This is going to be the 2nd Vega themed Turning Points. I keep seeing people asking about it, i keep thinking "Wait, it's was out years ago as Dark Age Turning Points Vega."

11 days to House Arano . . .

Vega’s been fought over a lot. They could even do TP: Vega Age of War, TP: Vega 4th Succession War, and TP:Vega Outer Reaches Rebellion.

Sartris · « **Reply #133 on:** 16 April 2019, 11:26:53 »

you could have multiple campaign books for the battles of Hesperus II

kinwolf · « **Reply #134 on:** 16 April 2019, 11:44:12 »

Makes you wonder who is nuts enough to settle on Vega anymore.

Now there's an idea i'd like to see explored.

Greatclub · « **Reply #138 on:** 19 April 2019, 12:22:36 »

I'd like to see a giant Total Chaos style book for the various Hesperus II battles.

I'd be useful for pretty much any era's enthusiasts, and be a nice showcasing of the grey death legion.

New Release Date for House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition

Please see the message below from Ray Arrastia, BattleTech assistant line developer, regarding a new release date for House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition:

Quote

I would like apologize to the community and beg your patience a little further. We have to postpone the release of House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition until May 31. Key people involved have been tied up getting other projects across the finish line, and we still need a proper buffer before release to allow for testing of the POD system, as this is our first time using it for this type of product.

House Arano: The Aurigan Coaltion is now in editing, with design and layout already started. Turning Points: War of 3039 Vega will be released later today. Next week we’ll show you some previews, along with teasers for the upcoming Alpha Strike Commanders Edition.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Ray Arrastia
BattleTech Asst. Line Developer

I wish I could say I was surprised, but these days nothing seems to go the way it should. Oh well, c'est la vie. Not the end of the world.

Now Available - Turning Points: War of 3039 Vega!

The wait is over as the Federated Commonwealth hammer falls upon the Draconis Combine. The War of 3039’s Commonwealth Thrust focuses on Vega, a world of burning sands, blazing sun, and the ruins of ancient Star League technology. A combined force of Steiner, Davion, and mercenary units showcases the massive alliance and technology of the Federated Commonwealth. The Combine defense, led by the Legions of Vega, is determined to justify the reforms and faith of the Coordinator. They will not surrender their homeworld easily.

Disappointed at the delay of House Arano but if it means the time will be spent writing a better book for them to sell to us then I'm all for it.

Still really looking forward to it.

Wrangler · « **Reply #146 on:** 26 April 2019, 23:28:49 »

Another great product came out, we should be talking about it verses complaining about something hasn't dropped yet.

Vega is good book, i like the older Historical that filled in the details, where we could build our own campaigns.
This is good starter product who wants just jump into it. It also gives people using Alpha Strike system a way to campaign.

Finlos · « **Reply #147 on:** 26 April 2019, 23:48:15 »

I intend to buy Vega, just haven't had a chance to... yet.

Also waiting on paying real-world bills before I also buy that Golden Century turning point that came out recently.

Sartris · « **Reply #148 on:** 27 April 2019, 00:05:22 »

the standard lances by role in vega are an interesting addition

also finally the official sheet for the PNT-9ALAG

Wrangler · « **Reply #149 on:** 27 April 2019, 07:15:06 »

The Warhammer's comm gear is interesting. If it is what i think is, it's communication equipment that gives you initiative bonus, let's you connect to a satellite which part of the initiative thing, basic ECCM which is perhaps useless in 3039. However it's can help detect units in a double blind game.
