To my knowledge, there has never been a Technical Readout produced from the Clan point of view. Here is my attempt at such a thing using the latest MWO art. It's constructed as a report for Smoke Jaguar Khan Leo Showers immediately after the Outbound Light incident. It details Clan front and second-line 'Mechs as well as takes a brief look at the historical development of Clan military technology.

Feedback is always welcome.

Thank you and from a cursory look, it looks great!

Oh wow! Awesome! gonna print this out and read :D

One error I did spot. The Firemoth's fluff's not there, its the same fluff as the Myst Lynx. The Arctic Cheeta also keeps being referred to as the Ice Ferret in its fluff.

wait until corrections are made first. Several sets of texts are reprinted or misplaced (and the Direwolf is absent in one critical listing). Other than that, it's a hilarious Point-of-View shift. Keep going with this...

Aye :) Darn good stuff!

Thx. I was compiling the thing pretty late a night. I circle back to it later and see what happened :)

I apparently either never wrote the Fire Moth fluff, or I misplaced it if I need. I fixed some references to the Arctic Cheetah, mixed a minor layout issue with the Orion IIC. What's the Direwolf listing you are referring too....

pg. 16 the Omnimech manufacturing dates list. I want to say that it should be between the Shadowcat and Adder entries on that table.

this is the closest we might get to a Golden Age TRO in the next few years.

Anybody ever notice that the MASC on the Stag I was Clan spec(2T)?

Sigil · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 April 2019, 08:28:37 »

Added the missing Fire Moth fluff :)

Takiro · « **Reply #13 on:** 14 April 2019, 08:58:22 »

I gotta check this thing out!

marauder648 · « **Reply #14 on:** 14 April 2019, 09:28:55 »

The dire wolf seems to be lacking its specs fluff, there's lots of history there about the Jaguars and the Wolves but nothing detailing the Mech (engine etc).

Looks great! Thank you for crafting it!

Red Pins · « **Reply #17 on:** 14 April 2019, 12:48:34 »

Agreed. Interesting format, too - I'd like to see something like this on the canon ones.

Thanks! Looking forward to reading this!

Very nicely done!

Found an error in the fluff of the Kodiak. It makes mention of the Grizzly and it states it is a 60 ton mech. The Grizzly is 70 tons.

I've added the book to the Fanon Wiki for Battletech, so there a page out there listing the thing case we loose the messageboard.

Outstanding idea and execution.

Great work, thanks for sharing
