    BattleTech is a bad game -- don't buy it

    I do believe that you are mistaken. BattleTech has people of all ethnicities, religions, social standings, etc. It takes some reading to find them, but they are there. For example, we have the Mercenary Regiment Camacho's Caballeros, consisting of those of Hispanic descent, those of...

    Elite Carrier Wing

    I thought that the D was a upgrade for the single seater version of the Sabre. And, wasn't the 2 seater only for those older model escort carriers?

    When did Blair meet Marshall?

    Blair dislikes Tolwyn. Reason: His treatment of Captain Thorn back on the Tiger's Claw. His launching suicidal missions that many of his friends died on. Taking over from Eisen during the Behemoth Mission. His use of valuable forge ships to build the Vesuvius and Mt. St. Helens instead of using...

    The most loathed startfighter ever.

    I never liked the Rapier for some reason. Part of it was the weaker guns in WC1. Another was the missile load. I hated all the DF missiles. I'd rather have kept the Raptor in WC1 or a Sabre/Broadsword in WC2.

    prisoners, capships, and fighters should be saved

    Kilrathi ships would not work well captured in most cases. First off, they use a whole different measurement system, so things would be trippy. Then, Kats are much bigger than people. So the scale would be a lot larger, such as in Freedom Flight with the Terran techs sitting in chairs much...

    Why didn't Confed fight the Kilrathi more intelligently?

    Confed did use all available civilian ships as decoys for the marine landing. They had no chance to ram any Kilrathi ships, unless as bits of debris, for the civilian ships were civilian. At best, these ships had minimal shielding to protect against debris, nearly no armor, and no weapons except...

    Fighter Complement

    Would the larger fighters/bombers of the WC2 era reduce the number carried by a Bengal? Conversely, would the smaller fighters/bombers of the WC2 era increase the number of fighters carried by a Concordia carrier? And, any ideas for Carrier Air Wing listings? What mix of fighters/bombers...

    Proposal: Alternate timeline story.

    Karga is also a Kilrathi hero. Quarto: I agree about Hobbes. But it still would have been cool to see Hobbes lead a wing against Thrakhath... As for the armistice, Jukaga could have been discounted by either another Kilrathi assault or the fact that he wasn't the Emperor or Thrakhath...

    Pre-WC1

    I thought the standard Confed Marine weapon was the semi-auto laser rifle. Other weapons include: Drakon Sniper Rifle (Probably like a Barret .50 caliber, supposedly can "take down a Vegan sabertooth at a mile.") Mass driver flechette thingy (Like a shotgun. Shoots out a lot of...

    Proposal: Alternate timeline story.

    t.c.cgi: As I recall, behemoth was already on the way, as a "stealth dreadnought armored against medium yield anti-matter weapons". That would be icing on the cake for a full strength Confederation Fleet. And for that later post, what if Thrakhath tells Baron Jukaga where he can put his...

    Proposal: Alternate timeline story.

    I got the idea from Bainbridge's telling Tolwyn in Fleet Action that "this war won't really be over till we storm through the rubble of the Imperial palace and raise the Confederation flag". What if there was no armistice? What if Red Three had crippled the Kilrathi Carrier yards? Hakaga...
