Quadrupedal Battlemechs like the Scorpion and Goliath.
(Four-legged, as opposed to two-legged ones that are more common)

Ask a Krogan...

[Davegt27]

I had to sign up to ask but the format is like a 1990's message board

So there are so many people posting, the question was out of sight very quickly

In other words I am not sure it will get answered

Id like to know what kind and how deep of a partner ship is between PGI and Harebrained. We know they use PGI artwork, which is awesome, what else is going on behind the curtain?

There is no partnership beyond the sharing of art assets. Whatever else consenting adults do behind curtains is only their business. HBS is their own company, and have already released Shadowrun games. PGI already has their hands full with this game, and HBS is making something entirely different play style wise.

HBS is going to make something more akin to the TT game. Want to know how HBS did their last game? Check out their Shadowrun games. I'm not sure what your objection to PGI is, but these two games are going to be pretty different, other than the mech models and Battletech theme.

A guy can dream, maybe there could be a middle where both game meets. HBS seems good at solo and builders game and maybe PGI could use their games to add more content to the game. HBS gonna make a nice tactical(turn based?) game with a story, maybe we could live it as coop gaming from inside our mech.

http://harebrained-s...on-monday-9-28/
This monday, the 28th, there will be a twitch stream on ngng's twitch about the Battletech game by harebrained schemes and it seems they'll be there answering questions of the audience, which is a very nice idea in my opinion.
So everyone who's available during that time, do tune in!

On a side note, i'll be personally away from my PC (since it's on a weekday) and won't be able to attend. But you guys should bring your questions there, and while we're at it, you might as well discuss those questions, try to come with good ones in this thread.

On another side note, if anyone will be able to ask about Quadrupedal mech inclusion into BATTLETECH, i'd be much obliged. I'd ask it myself over there, but as i said, i will be unable to attend.

Cheers.

A weak maybe on quads. Combined arms (tanks, Aero Tech) are in the plans.

Although, in 3025, are there any Quads in the timeline? Guess the Scorp and Goliath are late 2700s.

[Davegt27]

Ok sort of an answer is they want to do combined arms

With all types of vehicles

Totally forgot!

Any pack prices known yet? Ongoing live?

[Johnny Z]

Im going to check this podcast out. The guys who did Shadow Run are like a dream team to do a Battletech game. The way they are doing it by going with original Battletech... talking about rich story and depth there.

Only complaint is the turn based thing, but that pace of game has its charm to.

If some of that story and rich atmosphere heads Mechwarriors way then awsome.

Ah okay, I was thinking you were of the 'PGI ruins everything' persuasion. There's been a few individuals that have taken the stance of 'if PGI has anything to do with development I'm not getting it!'. But it sounds like you were hoping we might get more content for this game.

Not a bad thing to hope for, but like I said, the games are going to be pretty different. Other than art assets I doubt there'll be much room for cross-pollination. I could be wrong, though, it's happened before.

No clans, right?

The time is 3025, so clans are not part of this game!

Yes! Finally some good thinking.

Instany buy.

There was always Clans, but they won't be represented AFAIK. Every interview and information I've read have all said 3025, almost two and a half decades prior to the invasion, is when the game starts. I imagine they will make an appearance in later games and/or an expansion, though, as they are pretty popular, depending on how well this game does.
