If that pilot ejects, the Power Rangers will probably kill him. They don't look like they're half-assing on the war crimes. If the unaccounted-for weight turns out to be some kind if lightweight LAM-conversion gear so they can form the Liaozord, it will make my day.

Artificer posted:Wolves have orbital factories? How many factions knew something was loving wonky with these mercs? Before the Clans showed up? It was considered odd, then the Kuritans did space-9/11 on their Olympus and I don't think they pulled another orbital facility out of their bag of bullshit until they got Outreach.

Pretty much the only thing on the table that could have shot down that dropship in a reasonable timeframe was the HPG itself, and, well...

berryjon posted:Now, here's a mechanical question - just how much of a radius does the Nuke have? I mean, if it went off under the epicenter of the base, would it still reach out to the edge of the map, or beyond? This is probably outdated, but the tac nukes they strap on aerospace fighters in Battlespace to kill warships have optional ground rules. Basically, it does 1000 damage to everything on the map sheet it strikes, decreasing by 20 damage per map sheet outwards. All terrain within 25 map sheets of ground zero is now height 0 clear terrain. I wish I knew where the hell I put that manual; I have the rest of the box set on my shelf. E: my memory may be faulty, it could be hexes instead of map sheets. A 25-sheet radius is a ludicrous zone of total destruction for a "tactical" nuke.

PoptartsNinja posted:A year and a half, give or take? Technology spread has been boosted significantly by the Free Worlds League freely distributing the Helm core to everyone and LosTech being somewhat less common. Also a general assumption on my part that the Inner Sphere has more than three scientists / engineers (in canon only three I can remember are Dr. Banzai, Clovis, and one of Kai Allard-Liao's sisters or aunts (I forget which one (Probably Kuan-Yin?)). I think it was one of his cousins/aunts on the Allard side? Rita or something?

GhostStalker posted:Oh, Wedge was featured in enough of the books in that series that I could forgive the fact that Stackpole's books were mostly about Corran Horn, who grew on me as a character as I continued to read them. Then again, I was young and dumb and devouring anything Star Wars related at the time. Besides, I liked the space battles. It's funny, after reading the Stackpole books and starting the Allston books, you immediately assume that Kell Tainer is going to be another Corran Horn and the main character. Then you find out that nothing could be further from the truth and it's a story with a great ensemble cast.

AtomikKrab posted:K-F reactions have a hard limit of 30 light years or so and can be aimed, remember that planets move in predictable orbits for the most part and thus you can predict where a station will be, and since hpgs only use tiny tiny holes in space rather than starship sized, you don't need to aim for a lagrange point to not get murdered brutally by angry physics for what you hath wrought. Well, there was that one Star League jump ship crewed by fuckups and equipped with an experimental 50-light year K-F drive. Of course, it misjumped during the Exodus and didn't arrive at its destination until the 3060's...

Hell's Black Aces are an aerospace regiment, with some rare dropships. I think they were a Liao aerospace element that was abandoned during a strike against the... Kuritans? Something, something honorable space duel and then pow, the two aerospace forces combine. They have a neat paint scheme: bone white save for a black spade at the nose, with kill markers being painted as layers of flame around the spade.

I like to think that Morgan Kell's magical ghost powers are actually the result of him dicking around in his Archer's OS one day and finding the ECM option.

1A, 2B Fight a cluster for their dropship (An Overlord-C or equivalent) and sufficient staff/personnel/expertise to operate and maintain it, possibly a binary of decent omnifighters (not sure if we can ask for these if only fighting ground forces). I don't know if personnel are on the table, if they aren't then ask for technical manuals, etc. and personnel can be hired from NRWR. Probably ask for a trinary of mechs, hopefully including a Hellstar.

This Natasha Kerensky did not get the benefit of living in the Inner Sphere since 3005, socializing and learning how to be a normal human being. This is Full Clan Crazy Natasha Kerensky, who never had any reason to believe that the subhuman filth of the degenerate usurper states were actual people.

What's the clan policy on terrible puns? Widowmakers trapped in ice definitely need to be told to "chill out" or "stick around!" An elemental breaches the cockpit of a swarmed mech, letting in the cold air. "Ice to meet you!"

On top of that, you get to deal with gravity wells. I've got a copy of TR3057 around here somewhere, probably one of my favorites for all the ship boondoggle stories. The Cameron-class was the Star League's F-35.

I’m just laughing at the idea that 10 years from now, the dracs are all going to be addicted to Immortal Warrior reruns, while the dirt sucking peasants of the fed suns will finally be able to afford a trideo set thanks to the economic boon of free trade with their longtime enemies just in time to become huge weebs watching cheesy samurai holovids.

I like the NRWR because the great houses expand their influence by jumping in regiments of mechs and telling the locals that they’re about to get pounded flat; the NRWR expands its influence by jumping in an industrial techbase starter kit and telling the locals that they’re about to get their economy upgraded so hard. It’s a novel approach.
