So i think everyone needs to save our space tex-mex hostages by moving forward this turn and trying to get into cover/trees as much as possible, right now you have to remember you can be flamboyant with the movement, but your gunnery is going to cut down on your ranges a tad, though not as bad as it could be. thankfully, poptarts gave you a few long range mechs with good gunnery, better than the first match. So you could possibly get a shot off soon. oh new page, I give you a battletech classic! which was featured in our free for all last night! http://www.sarna.net/wiki/UrbanMech While i can't post a picture, cause i'm at work, i'm sure someone below can. A brave mech pilot with 8/8 drove one of these and cursed the lack of arms! comedy ensued. Axe-man fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Feb 6, 2011 |

Arquinsiel posted:No, I mean the Japanese mechs were literally drawn by the same people that drew the Unseen within the first release of the game as "Battletech". And like I said: time has passed since they were originally drawn, and the artists had probably either moved on and evolved their art style, or set down the pen for a while and gotten rusty. Either way, a lot of time had passed and the original drawings wouldn't cut it for a game book in modern times, necessitating an art shift in that alone. Look at the works of any artist over the course of even a decade, even if they're doing the same series for that time. It changes - and I won't say for the worst, either, but it's different. Then you ask them to go back to what fans loved and lawyers loved to hate, and change it just enough that the lawyers can't do anything but gnash their teeth. quote:The Reseen range from better than the Unseen by far to absolutely dire. I love the Reseen Locust and Archer. The Reseen Warhammer? Pass. I won't say the Reseen range is all bad. But the problem I have with it is that it's the off-brand, it's deliberately trying to be something it's not allowed to be. They should have taken new artists, preferably who don't know Battletech at all, given them some examples of modern art 'mechs to draw from, and given them the tonnage and layout of the 'mechs in question and let them make all-new stuff. Hell, don't even give them the names of the new 'mechs, so they don't Google them and see the Unseen versions or hear about the controversy. quote:I'm more talking about stuff like the WoB Celestials as having the specific greeblyness and odd proportions that most of the Japanese re-designs have (the Japanese designs have HUGE feet and odd torso/arm proportions. A few of the Japanese designs are awesome, like the Dragon, Stalker and Stinger, the rest leave me wondering how the gently caress they're supposed to move or are just generally aesthetically unpleasing to me. What's wrong with them? I just went and looked them up - the Celestial series looks well-planned and well-thought-out from an aesthetic point of view, a series of mechs in different weight sizes designed specifically to work together, and look alike, as if they were designed and constructed simultaneously by the same design works. What's wrong with the proportions? They're tall and top-heavy, much like Clan Battlemechs. quote:Translation: "I'm going to tell you what you think because I know your mind better than you do". Seriously, gently caress right off with this poo poo. Then say what you mean next time! ^^Urbanmech:  It's so cute, it thinks it's The Mighty Urbie. It's exactly what it says on the tin - an urban 'mech and nothing else. Taking it into the field is like carting a pipe organ around in a wagon train. And yes, I want to hear the story of this Urbie, too. quote:So i think everyone needs to save our space tex-mex hostages by moving forward this turn and trying to get into cover/trees as much as possible, right now you have to remember you can be flamboyant with the movement, but your gunnery is going to cut down on your ranges a tad, though not as bad as it could be. I'm thinking, if the scout Sapper uses his pyro on the mech at D2, it'll force a piloting roll. With any luck it'll go tumbling forward down a 1-z-level drop and rack up some damage. The sapper should also probably start moving south, staying in the woods. The Infantry almost certainly aren't going to come out of their buildings, and there's no way for him to approach them without being in the open. The mechs should move forward, focusing their fire, but prioritizing those drat vehicles if they ever get into range. If that Blackjack moves to engage on turn 2, he'll probably be dead by the start of turn 3. If he turns tail and runs you might have a problem. Remember to watch your heat - in a tense situation under the clock, you may be tempted to run hot. Don't run too hot, or you're shooting yourself in the ammo bin.

Pinguliten posted:I've been doing some more research (read googling) on Battletech since that last link to the Japanese version and wel. Apparently Battletech was released in German as well. From the looks of it they almost got all of the game related books though only maybe 10 of the novels (no loss there really). A few more, actually. I happen to own ~two dozen german BT novels that I bought in a bundle from eBay years ago.  Ahh, the Urbie. Our beloved trashcan with legs aka the 30-ton assault Mech. Everybody loves Urbie. I remember someone creating a customised version that was basically a shrunk-down Imp. That was funny as hell.

Either way, a lot of time had passed and the original drawings wouldn't cut it for a game book in modern times, necessitating an art shift in that alone. Unseen = Studio Nue. Other FASA era mechs = in-house guys. Japanese mechs = Studio Nue. Reseen = some other in-house guys, in a different house. The Japanese release was 2nd Edition Battletech, between the 1985 release data and the 1992 3rd Edition release date. It had licencing issues with using the Macross/Dougram/Crusher Joe designs in Japan entirely distinct from the American issues, so they went to the same company that drew those mechs and commissioned replacements. They then decided that the American designs were "not Japanese enough" and would put off the market, so they re-designed some of the American mechs to fit. Much much MUCH later, they decided to compensate for the Unseen issue by commisioning *more* replacement artwork for the designs to avoid licencing issues from using other people's designs. They *could* have used the commissioned Studio Nue except that in the Solaris VII box the Locust became the Koto, the Stinger became the Tsunami, the Wasp became the Morpheus and the Marauder became the Colossus. This also ignores the IIC Unseen and a few of the later designs (including all of those in the Jade Falcon sourgebook :fist:) which were drawn by Victor Musical Industries and ended up being Unseen and then Reseen just in case, eventually becoming un-Unseen...

It was my first time playing MegaMek, so I figured I'd have some fun while I did it. I was piloting the 8/8 Urbie and a less laughable Catapult. There's not really much to say about the Urbie. First turn he toddled about between buildings and kicked a few. I tried to have him do a DFA but since I was new to the game I couldn't figure out the movement rules and whatnot. So he parked next to Kuru's Catapult, was hit by a salvo of missiles, fell down in burning woods, hit his head, the pilot fell unconcious for a turn, woke up, tried to stand up, fell down again, and didn't wake up for the rest of the fight. Until Kuru's Catapult decided to use it for target practice Edit: The Catapult of mine died to my own stupidity. Technically, the Urbie outlasted it. If "knocked over on fire" counts as lasting.

You have to admit "knocked over in a fire" is pretty hilarious, but that is why most of us always try to go about with a 4/4 or better. I laughed a ton that match, everytime you tried to get up.

I was running a 3025 assault lance V assault lance random fight on Megamek, and it lasted so long the game stopped me from playing anymore, it got to turn 35 and just started back over at 1 but without giving me the option to do anything. Would've been faster if it wasn't for lucky/unlucky weapon hits. At one point it was a Titan and a Lumberer verse an Osilord and this was like turn 13 and I figure ok, this should be over soon 2 v1 and all. Decided to Alpha strike with the Titan since it had so many weapons and it had the Lumberer backing it up 1 quick round to end it, instead the Osilord gets a lucky shot to the clean Titan's head killing the pilot and from there the biggest attrition style fight I've ever done was born with the Osi slowly destroying the Lumberer's weapons. By the Last round the Lumberer had 5 points of internal CT 4 RT and his legs and the Osi had 3 points left in his RL a few in the CT and Head. Osi had a Large Laser left and the Lumberer still had 2 Medium Lasers, was kinda pissed that I couldn't see the end of the fight  Still that poo poo took like 3 hours.

Koorisch posted:Those 'mechs look like they came straight out of Armored Core. If I remember correctly, the primary mecha designer for Armored Core was working for Studio Nue at the time. But I could be vastly misremembering things. And I think the Japanese Rifleman doesn't look that bad.  \/\/\/\/ Yeah, the Japanese must liked their rifleman too, because its the only one I've ever seen any fanart of. Though whoever picked the colors for this 3d model should be shot.

I'm just admiring genericoverusedname comedy urban mech which made that match quite hilarious. Also no one even thought that you could GO as high as 8 piloting and 8 gunnery, which made it all the more impressive to me. Also i think they should get some move in with the turn, i hope they all know what they are going to do

It's not even that rounded bots don't fit - they just don't fit everywhere. I like that round bots exist, but they're lostech and Star League era. While "modern" Mechs are boxy out of not having the technology or resources to make fancy looking mechs.

The Reseen looking like knockoffs of the originals is kinda the point. For all intents and purposes the Unseen designs still exist in-canon as they always have, and the developers made no attempt to remove them or retcon them out despite not being able to actually show them. The actual Project Phoenix designs are mostly supposed to be some startup company with "mysterious" backers re-designing a bunch of old designs with newer (non-SL) technologies and licensing them out to manufacturers across the sphere. And for the most part, they pretty much look like radical re-designs of the old chassis. This also gave a convenient excuse to explain some of the more drastic Dark Age redesigns, like the Spider and Panther. The ones that they're not re-doing, at least. Edit: Oh, and I think the IIC redesigns are Diamond Shark being Diamond Shark again. Der Waffle Mous fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Feb 6, 2011 |

The result is actually pretty nice, though it does require some L2 and L3 tech, so I'll spoiler it. 3/5/3 movement with a standard engine, 6.5 tons of standard armor and 10 DHS. Armament are 2 Light PPCs, 5 ER Small Lasers and a LRM5 with a single ton of CASE'd ammo. It really is like a miniature Imp. With Jump Jets.

Hey, if you kill the vehicle transporting them, do the infantry die automatically?

I think I missed something. Are the scout sappers on the board? How did they force a PSR on the Vindicator?

Mukaikubo posted:...air support. Maybe their air support will be in the form of Aerospace Fighters screaming in at Thrust 6 and going too fast to even stay on the board, forcing them to flyover at mach 2? Do you think the Capellans are as inept with using the AeroTech rules at BattleTech scale as we are? The Cabballeros aren't so lucky, are they?
