No. We need a nightstar. End of story.


The Nightstar would likely face the same legal challenge as the unseen version of the Marauder. It bears aspects of the Glaug pod, and the Glaug variable officer's pod.

Hopefully they can create a version of the Marauder that doesn't cause Harmony Gold to flip a table.

My own personal take on the Marauder... and I do hope they can get something resembling one in-game soon. To clear up a question earlier the artwork has to be 20% original in order for it to be clear from HG's nosiness.

the Night Star is further away from any resemblance to the Macross Glaug Pod, as the timber wolf or reseen Marauder of FASA and noch Unseen (Not Substantially Similar)






of my knowledge according to:

it never real court battle between FASA and HG were.The lawsuits were settled out of court.
FASA even stopped the designs after they had lost Cash in his Lawsuit to the Playmates EXO-SQUAD Toys (where it due to copyright injury complained because a Mech looked like the Timber Wolf and bring the Lawsuit-ball to rolling against HG... ;)) and after a few conversations with HG

Ranger, I'd be SO down with a design like that, even if personally I'd wanna see the arms more forward-slung, and really the gun pods and legs should more closely match the Cataphract. Okay that might sound like more than a few complaints but I can deal, I just want my baby back.

I find the Timberwolf matching legs, the legs are Cataphract (more Stompers as legs) but very stocky and have misshapen, they are not really long and slim ;)

Moin,

Ranger, please create a Warhammer for all the MechWarrior online. Awesome work on the Marauder.
Pgi, look at this guy, take him and let him create some Mechs and MAPS. ;)

CU at the field of honor

who knows, maybe we will get the marauder, it has to be 70% or 60% (i forget) different or something. Have you looked at No Guts No Galaxy youtube page?: https://www.youtube....oGutsNoGalaxyTV

Their banner is of the marauder, perhaps it's a sneak peak?

Hate to pop the bubble but no. Thats art we commissioned from ShimmeringSword and as such we use it. Same with our Archer and WarHammer.

Looks great, but the angle of the autocannon is a bit off.

I've seen a lot of versions of the Marauder, but none of them look the least bit good to me with existing assets. I'm slightly curious to try it myself, but I don't think it can be done.
