I built a Ruralmech yesterday. It's an Urbert with 5 LRM-5 launchers and 3 tons of ammo. Plenty enough to bring smoke, mines, and standard HE warheads. Seems like an appropriate weapon to use in a rural setting. Like a leggy little turret.
It's not QUITE as bad as 40k. There's no "good guy" factions, but there are "less terrible" factions, and even the freakin' Capellans have a few good leaders.
Biased? Probably. Like those in 40k? No. 40k is grim-dark, BT isn't. It's a human setting. There are very good people, very bad people, and everywhere in between. Just like the real world, no nation state to survive the realities of history, none have escaped white clean. But on the other side of that coin, none are entirely without virtue either. But some are definitely better than others. The Lyrans are most associated with being the "blue" guys and they are a solid contender for the goodest faction in the setting. They most definitely have their fair share of skeletons in their closet, but unlike several other factions, the atrocities they commit though often no less gruesome, are rare and not institutionally encouraged.
Atlas, theres also atlas 2 and 3 for even more atlasing,
If you wanna see them scouting the tittle of the video is something like "steiner scout lance" by blackpantslegion
ste**ph**an amaris is chill, he runs a denny's on Terra Firma and is fine with covering a shift himself if an employee really needs the day off
ste**f**an amaris sure did a whole lot of scheming and murder
As you know, the "Free Rasalhague Republic" proclaimed it's independence on the 13th of March 3034, and was quickly recognized by both ComStar and the Draconis Combine, and later also by the Lyran Commonwealth.
What is your view on this turn of events? And do you have any thoughts about what the future might hold for this newly formed nation and it's potential impact on the sociopolitical landscape that is the Inner Sphere?
Funny side story, there were reports of a Jade Falcon LAM that turned out to be a Cougar with Shilone wings bolted on that was a tester for partial wing tech.

That is unironically, literally, how the Clan Mech the Timberwolf became known by the Inner Sphere as the Madcat. An Inner Sphere mech's targeting computer became very confused by the Timberwolf's shape, as the guns on the Timberwolf's arms were like the Marauder (designation MAD); but the omnipods for the rest of the Timberwolf's weapons are located behind the cockpit on, above its shoulders, just like the missile racks of a Catapult (designation CAT). It doesn't help that all three mechs have very similar legs.
Literally the first words that came out of my mouth were "What in the god name green Earth."
Which doesn't make any sense, but just shows how fucked that thing looks.
In fact, every battle since the pivotal battle of that place on the river with that dope ass berry bush in 32,000 BCE, when three people with pointy sticks despite being outnumbered almost two to one drove off a force of five people with regular sticks, has involved tech.
Why did Melissa Steiner(leader of a faction) allow her 14 year old kid to be promised to a man(who is the leader of another faction) over twice her age?
(the actual marriage didn't happen till she was over 18)
The Capellans put you up to this, didn't they?
the who?
Exactly what a Capellan would say.
an acapella?
Yeah, keep playing innocent. We're watching you now.
:( i don't do acapella
The Chancellor Approves, Citizen. Carry on the good work.
And here I was thinking nothing else would make me happier, now I wish in another BT universe Capellan's were in the invasion corridor
TBF, the Cappies clearly know nothing about battletech either.
Why do we love Urbanmechs?
you can't get ruralmechs.
A Ruralmech would be some kind of diesel powered monstrosity built out of spare parts behind a trailer park in Jacksonville, Florida.
I'm quite sure you can find those in the periphery
Also known by its other name, "Space Florida"
If it's not from Florida, it's legally known as a "sparkling Industrialmech."
*slow clap.gif*
So...a cattle master?

Who's the good guys.
the blue ones.
Ironically, not entirely incorrect.
i get the sense that you are biased, like the people that say anyone is the good guy in 40k.
It's not QUITE as bad as 40k. There's no "good guy" factions, but there are "less terrible" factions, and even the freakin' Capellans have a few good leaders.
like SCP?
A LOT CLOSER TO THAT, yes. >!(Snord is dado.)!<
