Yan to A.

We have to take the star port anyway, so we might as well do it while we have the biggest advantage of taking it. Go big, or go home.

This is going to be rough. For both sides. Might be worse for the goons depending on how many elementals are hiding on the map.

Unless things go really wrong in this mission, keep the aerotech. Capturing Clan tech is one of the overal mission objectives for this invasion after all.

And the Clans hate contractions so badly.

That's why their 'comlang' is nothing but contractions. BT-writers! :argh:

I see lots and lots of replies and assume that there's an update - come on and see that George Ledoux has recorded an awesome summary of the enemies. That was truly awesome, and I would love to see more if possible. I want to hear the man talk more about the robots.

Well, in your defense, clan mechs that are actually able to overheat used to be pretty rare.

Talking about two people in the cockpit, why don't factions do this? You could have one person be the pilot and the other person as a gunner, or something.

Two pilot cockpits are available, for training and C&C. Problem is that they take up space that is usually better devoted to weapons and stuff.

As FWL fan No. 18 out of 46, the idea of a House Liao with a huge headstart on reverse-engineering Clantech is both terrifying and kind of awesome.

Here's hoping they stay focused on poor, poor House Hasek for a while.

Well, it's rather unlikely that the other houses, the ones that the clans are currently actively loving up, will not have any clan-salvage at hand.

Edit: There are some high-quality wrecks on Luthien, for example.

So how do the Mechwarriors control the arms of the Mech to the point where they work like human arms (including fine control over individual fingers) if the control interface for the Mech is two joysticks, a bunch of buttons and a helmet that makes sure you don't fall over?

Toe buttons.

Realistically, Stackpole writes to his demographic. I bet most of you thought he wrote awesome poo poo when you were kids. Because it was all lightning and explosions, and badasses who can't be stopped.

Probably got him more paychecks writing to a childs level relatively well than trying to write to the satisfactions of the middle aged spergs those children grow into.

Yeah. I haven't touched a BT-novel in about twenty years and I still think that the Blood of Kerensky trilogy is the highlight of the whole series.

The Word of Blake gimmick that's actually a lot more interesting is unmanned robot battlemechs. Too bad they attached the system to something that's a piece of poo poo.
