[BduSlammer]

thev term mechwarrior and battletech is one and the same , in the writing the common people look at these mechwarriors as the knight of old and they are called mechwarriors for that

And why would a FUSION reactor blow up? Answer: They don't. Now other things like ammo "yes"

Actually, lets look back to prior computer based MW1, there is this pen/paper game put out from FASA called MECHWARRIOR. Because it takes a standpoint from the pilot. Battletech is the "boardgame" version of Mechwarrior that essentially ignores the pilot except for 2 stats.

Battletech -> big mechs fighting on a field
Mechwarrior -> pilots doing cool things like buying and selling mech parts

So Based on those actual descriptions, which is this game more akin to?

Well in your world you see it as they didn't exist till they evaded? Read the books..They knew about them way before they invaded they were claiming planets along the way..Space jumping was not instant when house Davion and Kruita decided to attack the Ghost bears it took them 7 years to fly through space, before the war took place Kruita killed Davions once great leader by poisoning him.. they just didn't randomly appear out of thin air btw the Ghost bears slaughtered them they flew right into a warship building area very few made it to the surface all hands lost in space
. Some houses sent entire units and merc units to find out what the heck was going on out side of the known planets of the innersphere cause of the reports of fallen defenses of invaders.
They knew who their leader was he left the Innerpshere vowing his kin would return to capture it all. So face palm yourself. If this is a year before they invaded they already exist and we should be allowed to destroy your fractons for like 15 years with you having the same crappy weapons.

i beg the op to read the ******* history before making foolish posts like this battletech is mechwarrior just as mechwarrior is battletech,

[Seeificare]

Did you know that the clans stored some of their technology on the outside innersphere planets hidden away for innersphere to find. They even left a note saying to the brave warrior to finds this..may you use it in the battle to come to defeat us one day..If you can.

[Lightdragon]

you talkin about the steel viper cache on a certain frozen perhiphery planet?

I assume you posted without reading anything about the game and it's direction?

[Fire for Effect]

well it blows up because the rule book says so (it actually does not say this but the sentence was to nice to ignore it i remember distantly there was an optional rule for splash damage if the mech explodes due to engine damage around the mech do not know if it was in a techreadout or something like "maximum tech" or even just in a Bt Mag like battletechnology. I think it was in "maximum tech" not sure right now.

fun aside what can explode is the superheated hydrogen inside but a nuclear explosion is impossible.

Still could be a nice lightshow. Can it happen yes does it has to happen each time your engine shielding is hit for the third time? No...

*grabs his old first edition Battletech Manual 3025 era* at that era the Clans were unknown and not even in the head of the lead designer....
strange the term mech warrior is already used at that time... page 10: "mechwarriors" i really like the subsection "damaging a mechwarrior"
get a really comfy feeling how important the pilot was

[Jiri Starrider]

Battletech is the "board" game, Mechwarrior is the PnP RPG. That the computer sim games came out as Mechwarrior 1, 2, etc. was just marketing. It was about the mechs, but just not from a "tabletop" view, not about the pilot. That they continued to be called Mechwarrior (#) was just additional marketing to tie into prior sucess.

TL;DR

Who cares? We'll be in freaking mechs blowing s**t up!

Yes I read that thread and it's massive wall of poorly written, illogical and largely unbroken text.
I also noticed that Paul had locked it down.
I also note how futile, and therefore pointless, it is to suggest they alter the name of a game that they have announced and advertised etc etc.
I also notice that everyone, bar none, has pointed out how technically wrong you are.

So leave it be and get on board.
