Skoll posted:From a TT Standpoint? Nightstar. This man got it right. It's got an unassailable loadout that is good at all ranges, and every single one of its weapons, of which it can keep most of them firing on a turn by turn basis, are a threat of instant death for any mech. It's basically the problem of assault battlemech design solved, and as such it is inherently degenerate in TT play. It's basically the equivalent of a card that needs to be banned in something like Magic. Skoll posted:Protomechs were baaaad. This man got it wrong. If we end the timeline at 3040, we don't get the Piranha, the Alacorn, or the Yellowjacket. (or the tarantula, or the scarabus, or the)

Major Spag posted:Yes, that is correct. Atlas has always been an "original" battletech design. 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.

Skoll posted: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. You don't have to win all of your points to score a victory. A lot of civil action is just throwing stuff out there and seeing what sticks.

Sky Shadowing posted:An unfortunate thing for this game is I'm afraid HG might try to say "we're contesting this product, it cannot be released until the lawsuit is resolved" and the game will be delayed until the lawsuit is resolved, and then the possibility of the appeals process taking a while. HG's protest is such that basically any game that contained giant bipedal robots infringes on their IP.

A better comparison is that C-bills are more like the Solidus of the dominate era Roman empire and the various House currencies are like the denarius of various eras, either relatively valuable or inflated garbage depending on the economy of the time, relative to the absolute stability of the c-bill.

PoptartsNinja posted:A lot of the "favorite" 'Mechs in the Inner Sphere that have completely garbage armaments make a lot more sense once you realize they're the ones best able to capture a human range of motion. You also don't have to get into the middle of a brawl in order to use it, so if things start looking ugly, you can just walk away faster than almost every non light in the game.

vorebane posted:You can also go with 'we've been keeping this targeting computer from a different mech going with bubblegum and tinfoil' 'all my weapons are festooned about my mech's body and we don't have good enough tools to properly align them anymore' and 'I shoot my weapons one at a time so I don't miss with everything at once.' Not sure what the clans' excuse will be though. With targeting computers and pulse lasers, no excuses are necessary.

Galaga Galaxian posted:I just want to say, I appreciate logic like this. Even if I may hate it once I'm playing the game. Actually no. Unlike the production starved Draconis combine, The Lyran Alliance has always had a surplus of production. In fact, if you see a new battlemech in the southern periphery, if it's not a Free Worlds model, it's most likely a Steiner.

Impermanent posted:Feudalism isn't some sort of 'default' governing mode for societies that are cut off from a larger network of societies. It's a specific reaction to circumstances, primarily economic. "Only having access to one planet" isn't exactly that huge of an informational, economic, or cultural gap, considering that, for example, we currently don't live in feudalism. The number of planets that are as hospitable to human life as Earth can be counted on one hand in the Inner Sphere. This results in worse agricultural outcomes, smaller arable regions and greater labor needed just for survival. Furthermore, even though FTL comms and travel exists, you can't fax a loaf of bread, and interstellar shipping if non luxury/high-value goods doesn't exist. Drop ships can't carry enough staples to make a difference, and routine travel takes weeks, even for adjacent systems. Worlds in battletech are more physically isolated from their neighbors than historical Feudal entities. You can petition your Lord for a replacement Water purifier, but even if he's inclined to help and has what you need on hand and wastes no time getting it to you, it can still take months for aid to arrive. Battletech has a lot of implausible crap in it, but Feudalism is not even close to the worst of its sins.

Here are my issues with the game's graphics and UI. These are all non-bug issues, so I'm not complaining about day one problems, but rather design choices made by the developers that I'd hope to see improved in a future release. 1. Important units and buildings do not pop enough against the environment. Finding a light mech in heavy cover can be a bit like playing a pixel search game. 2. There's just not enough contrast in general in the textures. 3. You cannot zoom out far enough to get an all inclusive picture of your local area of the battlefield. 4. You don't have a radar or minimap to help with navigation or situational awareness. 5. I'm only on the first play through, but the first three tutorial/story missions were pretty damned long, and I don't recall seeing a way to skip them. With that said, I finally have the Argo and the game has opened up and I'm really enjoying the gameplay loop. Fight fools, kill fools, take some of their stuff, parlay that into better stuff so you can fight fools harder. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Apr 28, 2018 |
