did that clan design carried on for the invasasion models as well?




They realy shrinked in size that much? Sarna tells me 2816 is the year they created iron wombats. So the time they started breeding them is not that long, not even 300 years. Is such a minor side effect of unified diapiers and smaller reproduction organs realyl soemthign you fpcus onto within such a small amount of time? I would expcted something like that only after a very very long time of using this methood, like serveral hundret generations and their inherieted characteristics. 300 years seem to be a bit short for the regular human lifecycle to breed that many specified aspects. You would focus first on the battle bailities before you find the nearly perfect breeds and sort them out by minor aspects like that.

I mena 300 yeras, how many generations do you breed? maybe 10. You create an embryo, it has to grow aroudn 9 month, then you raise and educate the child, train it for a mechwarrior, and before you can make a proper selection of the good genes, it needs to proof the value of its genes first. Which would I consider to maybe take like 30 yearrs, or maybe at least 20. Or do they pseed up some of that processes by growth hormones?

So before you can breed an improved next generation this is between 20 and 30 years a generation. and withing 300 years thats like 10 or 15 generations only. A bit low for that much alterations.

yes the clan invasion mechs where standard clan mechs and where unalterd from my knowledge

Although many of the higher ranking clan warriors have time and time again tried to remove sexual reproductive organs from their warriors (from breasts to the rest, all of it) since "warriors don´t father/mother children anyway", there is still that little training-program they are going through and after finishing that, a Trial of Position, so it is not even safe to say that all cadets go warrios, in fact the very opposite is the fact :
Out of 1 sibko wth 50-250 healthy babies only 1-5 warriors emrge in total, leaving a lot of both-gendered now sub-warrior-caste-members which sometimes reproduce ( remember Peri, Aidan Pryde´s sibko-sister ? She mothered Diana, a later warrior in "The Falconguard" which was commanded by ... Aidan Pryde ,wohoo ) for the better of the clan which of course is totally against most clans-people´s ingrained and indoctrinated rhetoric .

Oh yea, clanspeople don´t really dump, their tests are most of the time over quick enough to hold it in or die with cargo unshed
Spheroids on the other hand might have "waste-reclamation" inbuilt into comm-chair (would make most sense) I fathom .

yes is mechs do have a fold down seat in back so you can walk off the battle faeld and take a dump

I'm a former active duty Marine. I would try to pick up anything even vaguely female.

If they are in battle armor, they may be heavy.

[Mike Forst]

Sounds like a reasonable concern

[kosmos1214]

yes reasonable enough

[BlakeAteIt]

Although, I guess that Kell guy managed it.

[kosmos1214]

kell who ??????//

[Alaskan Nobody]

Phellan Kell - Kell Hounds Mercenary
Aka
Phellan Ward - Khan of Clan Wolf in Exile

[kosmos1214]

ah kk thx

[Alaskan Nobody]

I could be wrong though - as there are other Kells in the series

[Mike Forst]

I have never read any of the books

[Alaskan Nobody]

Some of them were good

[BlakeAteIt]

"Some" is a small percentage.
