So are they using Mechwarrior Online's designs for their mechs? I saw a picture of a King Crab and it looks just like the Mechwarrior online design.


Yes, same models etc

Yes, it seems they are trying to establish a continuity between the 3 Battletech systems lately. The Pen and Paper/TT, MWO and HBS's Battletech. Which is just a win/win for fans. None of that confusing "MWO's Marauder looks different than Catalyst's" and then the ensuing forum wars that spring up to debate them.

I'm just glad it won't be like those terrible mech designs from Mechwarrior Tactics. Almost glad that project got canned, despite losing $20 to it.

Yeah, MWT's designs were not good. Fortunately, I didn't get burned, I know many who did though. I was able to test that train wreck with a free invite they emailed me.

I long for the day they can say "Oh sh*t we got so much more money than we needed, we don't f*cking know what to do with it"

But 2.5 mill would be enough, i guess.

The Star Citizen syndrome. I wonder when that will ever be released. They sure continue with the email spam. Every week: "Come buy our new expensive ship package!"

Hopefully I'll finally have a way to play the board game. Though a single player only game doesn't sound like it will last very long. It would need player vs player multiplayer to last a long time.

Ya i didnt like their design either. The old f2p mechwarrior tactic was sold to an unknown buyer. The fact that both games are Unity engine makes me think it was HBS that bought them out.

No, HBS used Unity engine on Shadowrun games.

While I get paid tomorrow I won't be able to purchase anything until next pay period due to timing of some bills and unforeseen circumstances. :(
That being said this month I get an extra pay check and my quarterly bonus check so things are looking good.

Not necessarily because the MW:T got as far as essentially being what they are self funding (Skirmish with no story)

seriously for a moment why would you offer a game that only has Skirmish for a total of 250k. ...it would certainly cost more than that just to develop the game that far from scratch.

If people know you have a functioning game they are going to question the funding goals.
MWT was far from perfect and would require an extensive rework away from the F2P model and it's terrible mech design. But the underlying work the engine work would be useful as a small leg up on production.
They may have even brought it to see where it was and and see if it was usable

why would anyone else buy it; knowing it can't be used or released as Mech warrior or Battletech without a licence agreement

What you guys need to realise is I'm not saying this is a bad thing; it's actually a very good thing in multiple ways and it reasonably makes sense


does anyone else hear the rustling of tin foil?

The kickstarter has pretty much reached the 50% mark.

Seems the forums ate my other post.

But yeah, seems silly. Its a new game and it isn't based on MW:T

Think how the people at HBS must feel! =D

Look at it this way, 3 days into the kickstarter, it has already made it almost halfway to the top tier unlock. Here's hoping for stage 3 and then multiplayer!
