I think he was trying to base his units off of the models he has.

I was totally playing up the resource poor aspect of the Blood Spirits by using the "improved" weapons.  Brings down the BV quite a bit.

But that Demolisher C ... well that's just quite a fine machine to use.  Think I would have gone with ER ML instead (and more armor) for the range, them's apples to apples. 

Elementals for support, very good option!

In that case, I do believe the Royals Burke and a Demo C to be the better combo.

Like three mixed points of these with Enyo flankers?

Solid firepower,  decent speed and a hammer / anvil effect.

This is the most unintentionally funny thing I've seen this year.  Did the writers at least put you in a Blood Spirit-made 'mech? 

After all these years posting as one of the biggest CBS fans, you get Bear-ied instead of covered in Blood. Makes me wonder how my own canon character shall surface in the fiction.

Nah, I'm in a Mad Dog. Respectable if nothing else. The sad part was I wanted to be a merc! More chance of my full name being used.

Are the Blood Spirits another case of "some escaped" or a case of total annihilation?

BSG 3100 !!!! ... If there are any BS still left, they are probably abakta (sp) or bonded to other clans.  Wait, most of those clans are dead too.

I like to think the Blood Spirits have units that survived. Another hidden colony, jumpships that were out on trade missions, small garrisons on other worlds used for rescource collection. Near the end there were dropships trying to leave Honor and Haven. They would have been attempting to reach somewhere. Dying in space wouldnt be preferable. I want to say some military units survived. You dont see mention of the Blood Guard Keshik being destroyed for one.

Sadly I think the blood guard died when the flagship was wrecked.... I love that unit but I am surprised it was always kept at a cluster strength that is a mighty big hammer that hardly got used

Honestly I would think it would be a formation that would be reconstituted quickly if destroyed. The u it is essentially a showpiece unit to show the other Clans the Spirits might. The fact it isnt mentioned being destroyed is the part that gets me. Honestly I could see the Blood Spirits choosing to create a new and more out of the way colony for a new genetics repository then use the Keshik to guard it as well as to be a fall back position. We do know that many expeditions set out besides the one the found the Colleen System.

If there are more out there, I'd like to seem them absorbed by the Ravens and/or Foxes then forming a cluster within their new clan, ala Hellions and Scorpions.

It's one of my hopes. The Jags look like they will return in some yet unknown form, I hope the Spirits have survived, too.

Given the odds of seeing ilClan anytime soon are slim and the fact that most people don't even want to see a fair amount of the tech in the game I seriously doubt the devs will put any effort into making dead clans live again. I am personally surprised the Hanseatic Crusade got a pdf.

I think the developers have been thinking about the Homeworlds a bit more than they have for the last several years. Enough to explore the area again? Possibly.

I'd feel bad about it though ... I loved reading the Mongoose POV in Golden Century, but felt sad knowing the ending already.

The Blood Spirits were actually doing really well through a good chunk of the WoR. It wasnt until they took on the Steel Vipers that there luck changed. They were hurt by other Clans but generally not wholesale losses but the Steel Vipers I believe wiped out Galaxys by there lonesome.  And then the Viper Annihilation destroyed quite a bit more. Any POV story would have to reflect that.

In Shrapnel #3 is a little gem.
It seems that there is still a Boques bloodhouse in the Inner Sphere (and it seems it thrives). To which Clan it does belong is not mentioned.
