But seriously, ComStar doesn't have any 'Mechs.  ;)

Uploaded the Gameplay Addons guide. Of most concern for me on this one is if I got the available salvage box OmniMechs correct. FAQ says possibly first 2-4 stars. I chose 3 as an average but I may remove the labels and replace the silhouettes with a few generic shapes. Not sure. Don't want to confuse backers or let them down.

We've cleared about 24K in the last 24 hours (Maybe a little less time then that). So there's the Gencon bump, I think, at this rate we should get to 1.5M in another 24 hours.

We're averaging around 25k a day right now, so say probably by Friday we will hit the 1.5 mark.

@shivanwurm, @avon1985 - Thanks! Last addon graphic coming up, though it may be delayed a few days for other work that needs doing.

Hayoo, you should probably remove the Elementals from your graphics, those are added to the boxes, plus your doubling them when you shouldn't be (Full K level).

Looks like you did such a good job that CGL used your visual mock ups. Congratulations.

They look a bit differently than the originals, but I still assume they talked to Hayoo about it.

When Talon first saw these he asked who did them I helped point him to Hayoo on multiple social media sites and Kickstarter, so I would assume that they talked to him.

the Conjurer in the Clan Striker Star has the wrong silhouette. you used the apocryphal Mechwarrior 4 Hellhound, not the correct Canon Hellhound/Conjurer, which is basically a Wolverine IIC.

the MW4 mech has basically nothing in common with the canon mech aside from sharing a name

ditto.

Question. Is there a typo on the Galaxy Commander graphic? it shows 19 star/lance, I think it should be 18, unless they decided to give them one more and i missed that?

I took the 19 number to mean there were 19 different pack options to choose from. With the Ad Hoc Star now added, there are 19 options - 8 Clan, 9 IS, 2 ComStar.

Hayoo, you should probably remove the Elementals from your graphics, those are added to the boxes, plus your doubling them when you shouldn't be (Full K level).

Extra items added in the box are displayed so backers can see them. Full Kerensky gets double everything (boxes/pledges/the works).

@shivanwurm, @MarauderD - Thanks! :)

@DarkISI - Correct, they contacted me right after GenCon. I made the new look to better match the graphics on the campaign page.

@glitterboy2098 - Thanks for spotting that! Will make the corrections in the next pass coming up.

Is it me, or is the $725,000 Command Upgrade Add-On option missing from the visual pledge options?

Those will be add-ons so they aren't in the pledges. I'll add them to the add-on section when I get a chance, although we don't know much about them right now.

I found a mistake in the Ristar level pledge. You only put 1 salvage box but with the orbital drop unlocked, there should be 2. I'm also happy to see the 5 Clans digital scenarios are now for every backers.  :thumbsup:
