Battletech (PC Strategy Game)

Scrubwave? Hah! Gotta remember that.
Good to see they are taking modability seriously. Very good for a game like this. Wouldn't be surprised to see unoffical mechpacks after a while.
I was thinking waiting for some first impressions but I'm leaning more and more to just pre-ordering.
EDIT: Went an pre-ordered it on whim. I'll just consider it a late birthday present for myself.

 

I wonder how much is voiced in the final version. I could have sworn that in the Paradox stream there were more lines voiced in the first mission than in the Cohh stream.

 

WAIT can we voice our own commands?! like we can add our pic, what of our voice!?

 

Hmm, that would definately be an interesting add in heh.

 

I'd totally be up for a Borg voice compliation so we can ad eachother...

i woulda gone with drunken rambleing, and oops didnt mean to hit you in the back... tee hee

 

JOIN US tomorrow for our third Development Stream where we'll enter the Mechbay

TUNE IN tomorrow as return once more with more BATTLETECH! This week we're stepping into the Mechbay in order to have a closer look at how to put together an effective Lance! Just like last time we're bringing some of the HBS Development crew over video call and streaming from the Paradox Interactive Studio, join us tomorrow at 18:00 CEST RIGHT HERE

 

I am oddly kinda jazzed about the mechbay stuff. I watched enough of Cohh's stream to get to the mech bay. I imagine, particularly in the late game. there will be ways to keep your mechs in the config you like best but I am oddly looking forward to see how my frank'n mechs shape up as I struggle to keep hard points full of randomly salvaged gear.

 

Probably the most up to date list of variants so far.

 

Do not get me started thinking about a return of Heavy Gear. I'm still salty about that ending.

 

The Game? The newest one or 1 or 2? And now I want a turn based heavy gear game. Yes I know there is a tabletop one but who would I play with?

 

That's the problem. Assault kind of fizzled out last I heard, no one seems to remember Heay Gear any more.

 

It's on steam now. But no idea how it is doing haven't had time to try it. Pretty sure they went to steam to get more revenue coming in.

 

Forgot about this till now. But hexes in the game are 24 meters. Not the 30 they are in tabletop. So if you try to math using the tabletop distance it won't work.

 

Yeah. Just know that the blacklight there is either the downgraded 6 made once lostech started being lost because originally the 6 has endo steel. Or it is a typo and is actually the 7. Because people noticed it has 11 tons of armor not the 13 the 6 is stated to have. Which lines up with the 7.

The BL-7 Black Knight is the downgraded version of the 'Mech produced during the Succession Wars following the destruction of Kong Interstellar Corporation's factories on Connaught in 2802. Production of the BL-7-KNT began in 2809 and continued until the CCAF destroyed the plant in 2820; thereafter many of the repairs made by the Great Houses to their own Black Knights in many ways mimicked Kong's version. The Endo Steel chassis was replaced with a Technicron Standard chassis which, while keeping the weapons payload and engine the same, required a reduction in overall armor protection by two tons. While the same weapon types was retained, the McCorkel, Maxell and Magna lasers were replaced with their respective Tronel III, II and I models. Kong Interstellar also replaced the communications system with the Tek BattleCom system and the targeting and tracking systems with a Tek Tru-Trak system.
