TheParadigm posted:Because poo poo, he should have to suffer piloting it at least once in his career. Why? The whole nation leaders must be heroic combat pilots thing the established battletech stuff has going on has always been kind of ridiculous. This Amaris is clearly a foil on the neo-feudal knighthood thing. Having him just revert to being like the inner sphere nobility would be boring. As for the vote, I'm with the bigger numbers crowd.

...Is that UAC/20 range a typo, or an error in the player's favour? Edit: On second look, that looks like it had a quad-headcapper loadout initially.

To add to this, the UN Squadron game is actually titled Area 88 in Japan. This may be the best unintentional reference I've seen in a while - too bad there's no mech called the Tigershark for him to pop up in later on.

dis astranagant posted:In an environment built around deploying many of them, sort of. If pods are available you can swap it to another standard loadout relatively easily. There likely aren't a lot of Bushwacker pods out there and fabbing your own can be a bigger pain in the rear end than refitting a standard mech. Except that the Bushwhacker isn't an omnimech? Unless PTN's changed that in his universe.

Hiring: C seems like the best bet. Staffing: C also seems like the best bet. Also it puts another body on the field so more people get to play, and that is awesome. I'm eagerly awaiting the return of Val Magnus so she can run rampant across the field. How does Jason compare in terms of pilot skill to the knights of the inner sphere?

Good game though)

A - Anyone who doesn't like the Bushwhacker is a disappointment in my eyes. C - She surrendered to the Demon Hawks, not the RWR. And they're Mercs, through and through. Hire anyone good enough for the job, and can handle the stress.
