BattleTech: Clan Invasion Kickstarter Discussion, Vol. 1

[Bren]

The way my brain works I needed the information displayed a little differently in order to make my plan of attack. Maybe it'll be of some use to others as well:

[kinwolf]

I like your brain!

[Cubby]

Can I suggest you split the thread from the Initial Announcement of the Kickstarter to when it actually went Live?

I wish I'd thought of that before I renamed this thread.

Pledge a dollar and then wait.  That way you'll get updates, but you can figure out what to get when everything calms down.

For the record, that's what I'm doing. Proud $1 backer.

Cubby, can we get some details on how european distribution will be executed? Can we get a list of european countries that would be covered by the european distribution center?

I didn't miss your question when it was first asked, and passed it along at the time. I'll ask again.

Cubby, in case you aren't already aware, the Add-on section doesn't include the Mechwarrior: Legends hardback yet and how much it'll cost. I'd love to increase my pledge so it's included, but as long as I don't know how much you'll charge for it, my hand is reluctant :)

Passed that along as well, I don't have any details on it yet.

Apologies for the relative silence today, I'll do my best to keep up for the rest of the weekend.

The faction packs could get me in trouble.   I will get Marik for me but getting that means I have to get my wife the Drac one or I will have to answer questions I don't want to answer.   I would also consider Comstar and WoB if they came out.    I  will also be getting the Not Named Clan just to stick it to clan players......Wolverine's are coming Clanners…   

Given that there is, for some strange reason, no FedCom pack, I have to wonder if there will be WoB stuff. The strange thing is that it's very hard to tell if the lack of a FedCom pack increases or decreases the chances of non-era appropriate packs being added.

That or they are going to add FedCom latter it is tough to know.  But I think if they are adding dead clans then dead factions are just as likely

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

I really hope so, because I want a set of FRR dice.

I would buy those.   You know what would be cool would be a 6 on the logo....But a one having a fighter hitting a warship.....the fighter hitting crashing into the warship would make a cool poster now that I think about it.

[pheonixstorm]

I do hope after it tops 1 million we can get another orbital drop or two. Or add the Tukyyid neoprene map to Bloodnamed or Star Colonel and above. Either of those would be nice extras :) Ah good ol hopes n dreams... :'(

[pheonixstorm]

Oh and forgot to ask (or maybe I already did and forgot).

Will the IS retaliation pack become a retail package by chance?

Also, Monday is my birthday... So presents are welcome! ;D :thumbsup:

[MarauderCH IIC]

Are you able to take additional star packs of the five omnimechs included in the box set? What if I want more Timber Wolves?

[Sartris]

currently you have to buy more clan boxes as an add on if you want those mechs or get lucky with your salvage boxes

[Lynx]

At the current moment, the option is to basically buy a second box as an add-on ($50 IIRC). There has been questions asked if we can just get the mechs as an add-on, but no reply yet.

Yup. Me too.

Also with canon character rewards at Star Colonel, Galaxy Commander, Khan, and Full Kerensky levels, there are approximately 1000 cannon characters being awarded currently!

[Sartris]

coming soon for 2026: your character in a book

[MarauderCH IIC]

Everyone with the same name is going to be rolled into one Freebirth character!!!  :o :D 8) :thumbsup:

[Sartris]

the average compiled face of ever submission into one character: Billy Gibbons

And then John Smith looked at John Smith and said, "Have you met my brother, John Smith. He serves under Captain John "Johnny" Smith in the Smith's Johns, the most celebrated Merc unit on the periphery!".

:P

BYE

[pheonixstorm]

Hi I'm Johnny. This is my brother John and my other brother John, you already met my cousin John haven't you?

[Annwn]

Wow, I'm not a Davion fanboy, but that Davion dice looks amazing in the render -



I'm curious what the other dice will look like.  I hope we can get renders of those before looking in an order - some could be rather striking.
 Challenge coins are pretty nice too, makes me want to hunt down my keychain. 

Having a hard time deciding on factions.  Marik and Wolverine for sure.  After that...ugh, so tough, Blood Spirit, Snow Ravens, Kell Hounds, ComStar, the other houses - so many good ones.

And still little to no info on how they're going to handle so many.

[Scotty]

I'm seriously considering grabbing a few more coins, which is... problematic.

People could make their life easier maybe by spec'ing out non-badass hero characters. Instead, some type of civilian role or non-combat enlisted role, characters whom would fit a support role in essence. E.g.: a mechanic, engineer of some sort, transport pilot or crew, radar tech, etc...

[marauder648]

I'm a dumb, so sorry for this silly question. But how/where does one add extra bits via the addon's?

[Sartris]

at the end of the campaign you'll be asked to choose any. if you put cash in at your pledge level above the face value you'll have a credit to charge against. any overages will require additional payment

Ah hah! Okay that makes sense :)

[Hellraiser]

HOLY CRAP!

I get a little distracted with work this week & forget about the date this was starting & blam, in 4 days its nearly 10x the requested goal.

This is good news indeed.

I guess I'm late getting in my pledge but better late than never.

[Hellraiser]

And still little to no info on how they're going to handle so many.

My guess is the next couple TRO's & the next Historical/Source book will have a bunch of new people in them.

It seems like a lot but when you can toss in names by the dozens/hundreds in a TRO or Sourcebook it will get whittled down quickly.

[Mendrugo]

Plus, if the pilot cards are popular, the names and bios can serve as fodder for many more boosters of those.
