I use Solaris Skunkwerks (SSW), personally. I like their user interface the best, and it's recently been picked up again for further development by some dedicated folks. For vehicles, Solaris Armor Works (SAW) comes packaged with SSW.
Nice - I'll need to check it out. Thank you!
So I've glanced in here on and off, and I'm wondering: are y'all accepting any more, or is this more of a closed game? It sounds interesting.
Oh yes - the more the merrier. You can join the fun over at
http://www.crayven.net/mercnet.
A quick summary of what's going on over there:
We're running an open-universe BattleTech RP, set at the moment in 3028. Joining in on the fun is pretty simple. Everything is fairly free-form right now; we have three mercenary units and a lone gun operating in the Inner Sphere for the time being. They are as follows:
- Aegis Division, led by me, is a mercenary unit comprised of the characters in the
Aegis Division portfolio. We're off on Kimball II right now, working a contract in support of Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG. Our objective is to re-take the Ceres Metals factory from the Draconis Combine. We've just made planetfall in an abandoned rock quarry and shot our way through a Kuritan armor division. We've now linked up with a member of the Gray Death Legion who's going to be giving us some fire support, and we're headed toward the factory. If 'Mech combat is how you'd like to get started, and you don't want to dive into the universe as a lone gun, I recommend joining up with this unit. I can help make that happen.
- There's also the Crayven Corporation, led by William Kauffman. Currently, they're on Gan Singh, about to crack open an ancient Star League cache. If you're interested in some immediate on-foot action, we can get you on with their expedition.
- And finally, there's Scorched Earth, led by Baroness Octavia Incendio, and comprised of the characters in the
Scorched Earth portfolio. Octavia can speak to what the current state of play for Scorched Earth is, but my understanding is that they're on shore leave at the moment, in between contracts.
- We also have Orlex Jaeger on something of a lone gun mission at the moment, but he may be at a point in the story where he cold use a second set of hands. If what he's doing over in
The Universe appeals to you, feel free to send him a DM on the MercNet site.
Of course, you're not beholden to teaming up with anyone. If you want to dive into the action on your own, all of our roleplay is currently unfolding in
The Universe - 3028, and you can just as easily carve your own path. Either way, you'll need a character - do you have one in mind?
We'd be thrilled to have you!
