Epic, but lets also remember that he was linking the worst thing about battletech ever while being called out so there is that.

Mukaikubo posted:Oh Christ, I wish this were true. PTN? Never read any Dark Ages novel about the Jade Falcons. Just... some things are not worth it. The most crazypants character in a universe noted for its diversity of utter lunatics becomes Khan of the Falcons, restyles them into a rampaging horde- that word is used- styles herself "Genghis Khan" only with some teeth-grating misspelling to be precious, and basically wanders around a chunk of the Inner Sphere blowing things up, raving like a lunatic, and broadcasting holos of cutting herself while naked and drinking the blood to intimidate people into surrendering. Her actual personal motivation, as clearly laid out in the books, is to make humanity extinct because she is mad that her lover and sibko brother got killed in a fight as though he was just another Clan warrior (which he was). Malvina Hazen is one of the worst characters ever made for this franchise. And that is not even getting into her adopting an IS orphan and raising her to be a sociopath for no raisin. Or crashing an irreplaceable warship into her own capital after having already won a civil war to intimidate anyone else who might betray her. I'll admit that when you told me about that character, I was turned off from reading dark age entirely.

jng2058 posted:I think the transforming space hover tanks where the pilot is on the outside of the 'mech in 2/3rds of the thing's modes is wacky enough. Hell, I remember the story being so bad that my 5-6 year old self said "Wow this is retarded." About half way through on Southern Cross. I still only have a vague concept what happens in it, but I always have the impression that it really doesn't matter at all if I remember or not. The third one for all its faults, at least had a very simple if memorable storyline, I don't remember the ending being worth while, but I could get behind the whole "Aliens took over Earth lets take it back" concept.

Yeah, I think that you might need to put it up to 10 heat, if only because the weight is so low.

I find that if anyone starts pulling in the term "in reality" into battletech falls down hard. Most of battletech "inspiration" was done via 1970's robot anime. So pretty much reality is out the door.

I am laying out my plans, Right now I am going to jump into nearby some woods and use my superior range/inf killing to take out some infantry, but THERE IS SO MUCH CHOICE. This Komodo should be dressed up like a chaos space marine.

I am going to run forward 8 get in medium range for my apguass and use one hand to light up the infantry at 3245 it should be extreme range for them it might even be impossible. I would say I can also eat up those planes simply because the chance at a crit, but I will demolish infantry. Thinking ahead, I can do a large arc, and hit another infantry, before doing a circle and hitting some planes, that is at least my general plan. I am betting some of thsoe buildings have infantry in them. With my dodgy hip, I do not want to get swarmed at all. Axe-man fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Apr 25, 2016 |

Wobbie Zombies are just insane. Most of the wobbie stuff is just either weird, or extremely good.
