I will belive it when I see it but we get kickstarter stuff in yeah great, there are still things we are owed from the last kickstarter and no update or sign of them and it seems unlikely that even half of the products announced for this year are going to make it.

So what? I'm not being flippant here, I am seriously asking: how does it affect you if these products hit shelves later than planned?

Even dropping back to ordinary AC/5s which make use of the quirks is still a great option.

Untill they change those quirks ...

After the Hatchetman situation I assumed any more HBS in PGI was done, certainly was not expecting this...

Well, the HBS BattleTech game had two new 'Mechs in it: Hatchetman, and Bull Shark.

Now they have been both ported to MWO.

Do you think that the simultaneous release of a few dozen products a month or so from now will make up for that?

read the comic surrogates its much more deeper than the movie....its hard to find now
always thought that it was a warning about how net lets us insulate to a point of actually having fear of another human being or fear of embarrasment

I liked it for the action, but plotwise, i found Gamers more of a warning about tech than surrogates..

Put AI to work spotting anomalies, and found 27,000 + new asteroids documented in old footage and images.

Nice looking reproductions, though.  This was the Jade Falcon of Aidan Pryde, it stands for all time since.

But the wheels are turning, however slowly.  Still looking forward to new product.

Yup. Lunar dust is shattered rock fragments from meteoric bombardment. It's also unoxidized - when the Apollo astronauts returned to the LEM and unsuited, they could smell it, like burned gunpowder.

Martian dust is the consequence of aeolian weatering - much finer, rounded particles, and also full of perchlorates that react with water (or vapour) to form toxic chemicals.
