Cyrano4747 posted:The Black Knight was in a similar boat. It was dying the slow death of not being manufactured any more and damaged units being refurbed with standard tech. I'm pretty sure two of the only Highlanders in existence before the Clan invasion were the ones that belonged to Rhonda Snord and Davis McCall. McCall didn't even get his until after they found the Helm core in 3028.

I'm all for just reformatting what happens after 3040. No Clan invasion, no Jihad, no FedCom Civil War, no Dark Ages. Keep new poo poo gradually coming online but take it verrrrrrrrrry slow on tech changes. Make the IS fragment more all around so the eternal galactic war we all know and love keeps churning without bullshit trash born humanity with dumb rules and super mechs, and a faction of nutso religious fanatics dropping nukes on everything in an effort to kill off every lore thing long time players loved. E: I always get the Hellstar and Nightstar confused but both are great mechs regardless.

kingcom posted:Right yeah and the Wolfs Dragoons were tied super deep into the start of the whole thing too. Man that makes it even more hilarious when people get upset at the clans. The second major plot arc the game even had was the clans and then setting was flooded with ground work for it. Yeah, it's almost as if the second major plot arc upset the gameplay in a massive way and actively made it worse. I'd rather play Star League TRO stuff with the Reunification Wars, etc than any of the Clan Invasion garbage.

Eldragon posted:It would be pretty amazing for a BTech mercenary game to come along where mechs are actually rare. But that would mean most of your merc company is made up of tanks/aircraft/infantry, you don't get to salvage and keep anything you find, and players won't get to experience all the different mech types available. After the story ends, you can keep doing procedurally generated contracts and missions so I'm sure at some point there will be a use for everything.

That Kereminde dude is the biggest loving shitler on the HBS BT forums. He thinks he's some sort of big poo poo authority because he kisses mod rear end and writes worse pulp fanfics than the actual novels. And gets lovely if you engage him in an argument and don't bow to his mighty post count.

I copied the game to my laptop and played it on that. I think I have maybe four hours total then got bored of bot skirmishes. I don't understand how some of you guys can play this over and over and over and over. It's fun, but without the complete game to play it in, gets boring kind of fast.

A.o.D. posted:I'm guessing that HG is hoping to make the case that the entire Battletech IP infringes, not just a few select designs. It's more a negotiating tactic for a settlement than a serious ploy to take ownership of the whole property. They just want money. I mean it's obvious they want a quick settlement, but I think it's a little out of the realm of sanity that they'd think they could get it decided the entire Battletech IP is infringing.

DeepThrobble posted:I can see PGI using those unpublished designs as trial balloons for that 70% rule, but I suspect HG wouldn't give them qualified feedback to avoid infringing even if they don't consider any and all giant combat robots their property. This is more than likely what happened. You would assume PGI at least were somewhat prepared for the court eventuality when they decided to stop asking HG's feedback.

Phrosphor posted:I finally sat down and read through the primary docket item and um. It kind of looks like a clear case of copy-write infringement. Harmony Gold attest that PGI never sought nor gained permission to use the reseen designs. And then HBS have licensed those designs from PGI. Yeah, I thought this was kind of clear but everyone is worried how much poo poo HBS can take over it. Obviously since none of us are copyright lawyers, all we can do is (probably wrongly) speculate, unless someone wants to ask about it in the lawyer megathread in BFC.
