I don't know that importing logos will be an official thing, but my understanding of the game's moddability is that this will be possible.

Looking at it again after a week or two, its actually decently far along, I should keep at it maybe.

So is the Raven supposed to be coming as DLC? What's with everyone trying to shoehorn it into the 3025 setting anyway

While I agree it's a cool mech, aren't we getting into "The Russians could have totally fielded the IS-3 before the end of ww2." territory? I think the 1st prototype was done by 3024, mass production didn't come until much later. I think the earliest it's seen in lore is 3028 during the 4th succession war because Liao was really desperate.

I thought the original was supposed to be garbage until they found lostech to fix it.

In any case the best version of the Raven had cool black paint with red trim and a super sharp beak but was only found in MPBT3025 (again with the setting being too early...) but that game died such a fast death I can't even find the loadscreen with the burning Raven.

It's also a mech with Electronic Warfare components so it adds a potential new and unique tool to the game if it can show up. Yeah it sucks until the game techs up but its a unique mech and is an iconic Liao mech which is one of the big players on the boarder you are fighting on.

It's too bad there hasn't been a source code release of Mechwarrior 2. It would be a fun game to mod. Also, none of the games since have quite nailed the Bitchin' Betty voice as well.

Its not in specifically because they haven't figured out a satisfying way to do E-War yet.

The Betty from MechWarrior Online is the woman from MechWarrior 2 reprising her role. I don't know how much of her sounding different is because they ran her voice through a filter for 2 and how much is because the quality of audio recording has increased since then, though.

The 3024 version is garbage, yea, because it sucks up 7 tons on the ewar equipment to replicate 2.5 Tons of GECM and BAP.

A guy called Sidestrafe has been streaming 9 hour chunks each day but he's honestly infuriating so I tapped out quite quickly even though I just had him on in the background. Extremely bad at the game and - unlike Cohh - unwilling to take any advice or learn. Suffers from analysis paralysis so a mission that took Cohh 30 minutes takes him literally 2 hours, with 5 minutes spent pondering each mech's movement at the start of the mission. Etc etc. But if you're really starved for Battletech Stream Content, knock yourself out:
