Rasalhague Dominion: The voting will continue until morale improves!

Well, in the interest of getting back on topic, let's just agree to disagree (alternatively, present some evidence from actual canon that supports the claim that the LyrCom sees the Horses this way, because I doubt it exists) and move on.

I am not sure that there is any evidence on how the Lyrans see the Horses in publication. We can eek something out of the fact that they were aiding Malvina for a time, even if not in heart.

Why do i keep messing up numbers atm, my apologies, my brain is not at it's best atm

I’m not picking on you (or meaning to anyway) I’m just trying to I don’t even know, ‘get to the bottom of this’.


Another note:

I think the RasDom and Ravens are still allies, there is a lot of stuff shared just between us still, we know they helped us with the new Lev III.

[Foxx Ital]

Been working on a new bear galaxy for the mechroverse campaign. Lambda "The devil bears".

[Kerfuffin(925)]

Explain your clusters too!  ;D

 Yeah I'm terrible at that kek. For now I'll just say I've been leaning into the pr route. I will admit its heavily influenced by the 15th assault nova I've been playing with for over a decade. Ive decided not to harass jellico for dropship options untill I get to that point.

[Foxx Ital]

Ok here's a preview of what I'm thinking. Also new "units" for the mechroverse if your wondering about the hueys.

Karhu
Kontio
Kontio
Mad Dog III

Executioner PR C3i 1
Beowulf PR C3i 2
Huey PR C3i 3 4
Huey PR Cei 5 6
Ostrogoth Point
5x Kobold IIc

Nice nice indeed: look forward to seeing Lambda Galaxy! This mostly on MM or on tabletop too?

I similarly have been working on my own Galaxy in preparation for the new KS and have found I have both too few and too many mechs for my Galaxy. I either have three oversized Clusters (thanks Elementals!) or four undersized Clusters. Add into the fact that I’ll need stand ins for mechs that don’t quite exist in metal or plastic yet (Mastadon, Rime Otter, Kontio) and still need to assemble/touch up a full Cluster. And when the Kickstarter does come out I’ll have a full Star of fighters and hopefully what amounts to a Binary of tanks. I do need to do a full inventory to make sure I haven’t bought anything and not recorded it because I’ve done that before and ended up with doubles of things I didn’t really need (two extra Hellions, an extra Viper or two in metal (not plastic), a really bad old Dire Wolf plastic in terrible shape, etc).

As far as smaller units go… I’ve really only got my Wolverine Trinaries which are mostly complete and thanks to the last Kickstarter (and this one) now mostly in Plastic. I’ve taken them out often in play but rarely in full Star strength because of low BV games.

[Kerfuffin(925)]

Mixed unit type stars make me sick, although I can see using it to fully leverage c3i. I wish we went the c3i route when we had an option, it could have differentiated us. Especially with our hallmark being (aside from inefficiency and awful decisions) of mobility being taken by the wolves and the Warbear mechs.

I'm a big fan of Raven Triad formations so I'm looking to that for a bit of inspiration.

Mostly MM,

[Kerfuffin(925)]

I don’t mind a triad, but mixing at the star level just seems difficult to pull off on more than an ad hoc basis.


Most, if not all of my classic is done via MM and against the bot, so BV and all that never bothers me much. For those massive units it’s the only reasonable way. But I would like to be unreasonable one day  :-X


Expanding on my previous post, it’s disappointing we have almost nothing unique anymore.
Ravens have FL and space stuff (way more than everyone else combined)
JF has jumping around forever mechs
Wolf has taken our poor design decisions in the pursuit of speed, but added mostly sane armor levels.
HH are both the infantry and tank clan, plus the now unique horde cluster
We have reactive (meh) and reinforced structure, our elementals were taken away, the executioner can’t really hold up, and we have the two most powerful warships.

Two warships doesn’t impress me in the face of everything else, especially with ground combat, and mechs specifically, being the focus. We had the ‘perfect fusion’ until it turned out it was a fever dream

[Foxx Ital]

The galaxy wont be all like that but I wanted to share the direction i was going ^_^.
 As for the executioner,it took restless 6 years to finally beat the F variant, it's a git gud mech but once you do,wooo!!

I didn't think you were, it's just my own frustration at the way my brain is atm.

[Kerfuffin(925)]

Anyone notice anything different in our MUL? They just did a big RAT review. We had earlier gotten the Corax (who cares) but not the Wusun. The Wusun is still not there, but I haven’t noticed anything new.

[Zeruel]

for what era? ilClan?

hmm...did we always have access to the No Dachi, the Hitotsume Kozo and the Nyx?

Yes those have been there since the start.

It was from republic to ilClan

So trothkin I was at the Long Island launch party: picked up a Phoenix Hawk IIC (The Devastator was gone and I rolled off over the Black Python/White Raven). Participated in a Grand Melee came 6/8 after taking a Gausszilla into the fight. This was my armor before the last round: right torso completely gone three total pilot hits, went unconscious for a round (and wasn’t shot), and ended up on the ground raised myself on one arm and put a crit into an enemy Saggittiare with my last shot. Good time.

Going back tomorrow: IDK what the scenario will be but I’m gonna try and snag the Ostsol and if not… IDK the Bane was taken too lol.

Also got on the Twitch Steam and said hello. Audio and camera problems aside the store got a call from Tex of Tex Talks … while we were on the Stream. Interesting times.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Nice job with that Annihilator.

Reminds me of a time I took a Kodiak out and ended up with no armor left on the entire front of the mech aside from the head, but no internal damage and I'd killed the last enemy who could threaten it with an alpha strike.

[Tyler Jorgensson]

No kills, but pilot survived, and it was a blast. Just was chaotic and fun.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Sounds great.  Keep us posted on how it goes tomorrow.

[Tyler Jorgensson]

So smaller turnout which was unexpected for the store since 90% of the people who called them stated Friday was the better day. Anyways played a three man game of the titled ‘Hatchet-man’ where hatchet armed mechs duked it out. Opponents had an Axman5N, Hatchetman 7S, and a ‘random’ third mech (One player had a Hunchback with an Ultra AC/10, the other a Phoenix Hawk with a Large X-Pulse). Because we had odd numbers of players I hopped in and brought my brand new Phoenix Hawk IIC 10, a Hatchetman 8S, and a Grasshopper 8K. Points for Hatchet Kills and attacks, half points for melee kills and attacks. Circle of equals double map. 10 round time limit.

Opponent got a good kill with a hatchet that propelled him to victory but it was really fun and if I had a couple more turns it definitely would have gone my way consider my two melee mechs were a LOT less damaged. But alas didn’t happen. The P-Hawk IIC performed really well.

Took home the Ostsol to fill either my Wolverine force or my IS Merc units heavy cavalry.

[Kerfuffin(925)]

I had to miss the Palo Alto one on Thursday, ended up getting sick halfway through work Tuesday and didn’t feel good enough to drive that far even after a few days rest. I couldn’t swing it today either, still finishing up recovering. It was doubly upsetting as I had to miss the MWO launch party in SF all those years ago, I broke my ankle 5 days before. 

All the reports I saw were it was a lot of fun.

Sorry to hear trothkin.

[Kerfuffin(925)]

So what do you all plan on adding from the KS to your Ghost Bear/RasDom units?

The Grizzly is a given, but the (small amount) of other clan mechs aren’t super interesting to me.

For me it’s going to displace my metal Highlander IIC (which will get moved to wolves), the Black Python (as a White Raven), Shadow Hawk IIC, the Phoenix Hawk IIC will get a old space marine power axe to double as a 10, and I am debating adding the Kraken and/or Locust IIC

[Zeruel]

I'm going to grab me one of those nifty new Blood Asps just as soon as the pledge manager is open

[Kerfuffin(925)]

Ooh yeah. I forgot about that guy. I think I preemptively added an extra salvage box for him. Might have to add another 2 once the late stuff opens back up.


In any case I am super excited to add to my spreadsheet and create a vehicles tab

[Tyler Jorgensson]

I think I’m going to end up getting one of each pack but only the SM1, Condors, Merlin (C Variant), and Clan mechs are being added to my Galaxy. Some of the new mechs are going into my Wolverine force, while obviously everything else goes to my Merc Regiment. I’ll pick up a Blood Asp but my Metal one is a solid piece and I have no problems with it. I’m not personally a fan of the IIC’s from the Cavalry Star but I can use a couple more lights that are not Fire Moths or Adders (I’d like the lump my Vipers and Ice Ferrets into that group as well as I have Waaay too many of each), but I do want that Black Python/ White Raven.

[Zeruel]

I was also thinking of adding the Heavy Battle and Sweep Lance pack specifically because I kinda want the Patton (Axel IIC) and I wouldn't mind having a few vehicles

[Kerfuffin(925)]

I think I’ll be doubling on all vee lances so just for the sake of not needing to do that a few dozen more times to paint things in their factions colors, I’ll probably be painting most of them in a series of generic camos. Some of the more faction specific ones will get a proper color scheme.


I like the Pattons a lot but that they don’t match enough for my liking (wysiwyg) is enough that they’ll be either Lyran or generic camo.

I kinda forgot about the Merlin and the SM1. With only one of the SM1 I might just paint it up as a Ghost Bear also. The Merlin might fit well in with my 4/6/4 star and the Grizzly, but I think I’ll try for another faction first.
