Xarbala posted:People who genuinely thought the Argo broke the setting were wildly exaggerating. It's because it has a piece of equipment that wasn't canon as of the release of the game: an extra K-F boom that allows a smaller dropship to latch onto it while it's hooked up to a jumpship (it's how the Leopard sticks onto the Argo whenever it's not in use). Battletech has some of the most brokebrained fans I've ever seen, for anything.

A Merc company is probably the single edge case where the Argo is worth the trouble.

Battletech has practical high energy density fusion engines so orbital lift is cheap.

Technowolf posted:Land-to-space weapons are also very expensive (and most are probably lostech at this point), so Planet Bumfuck in the middle of the periphery isn't gonna have anything capable of shooting down the Argo. The successor states just tell the jumpships not to carry you anywhere and they're too big of customers to say no to. Either you starve to death out in space, or you land and they drop a real military unit on you, or eventually one of their warships swings by and kills you. As far as the people who matter care, the Argo is full of good contractors who can work dispassionately and keep their mouths shut.

Don't people have, like, rights and stuff in the Magicstracy? They'll probably tax you some but you could likely keep most of it. There are some neutral planets like Solaris that let people settle down with wealth too.

"Energized lightning." As opposed to regular lightning. Come on guys, it was right there.
