With the re-balance on the way and if info warfare gains traction, who would like to see the stinger added to game. Also this would give us another 20 ton option.

Please not another japanese toy robot mech
Phoenix Hawk, Wasp, Stinger
All the same thing, initial old mechs copied over from robotech or something like that

He's a Clanner. Thinks the world revolves around TimberWolves and that there was no game before MW2, etc.....

It's like explaining to kids these days of a time without cellphones......

So if i like 900 of the 1000 aspects of Battletech but dislike some initial japanese toy mechs (and some objectively determinable idiocy in the BT rules), I must leave?
Ignorant and arrogant much?


btw: I played Crescent Hawk's Revenge as a child. I probably know BT longer than most people here.
That does not mean I can't recognize childish foolnishness if I see it.

One might say the classic marauder is the "core" of BT and guess what: they changed it because it was identically stolen from robotech.
I personally consider the stackpole novels and the IS vs. Clans to be the core of BT (which has much more relevance than some initial child toy designs)


See, toy robots, all there.

Wow, some people are touchy, aren't they.

Ever hear of hyperbole, trolling for grins, etc? Chill pill dude. Seriously, remove stick from ****** and R-E-L-A-X.

But maybe, just if you want to keep it real and all serious like? Don't crap on what other people like, and they won't crap on what you like? K-K-Krazy concept, INORITE?

also, wasn't stolen from Robotech, but legally licensed fromt the Macross license holders in Japan...but why IDK, get to facts of the matter?

It's much more fun to sit here and watch you get all huff and puffy, while I keep eating mah popcorn. Since you decided to make this into a soap opera, bruh.

Gets huffy about 'arrogance' and then uses the word child a load of times to belittle everyone else... Made even funnier by the fact he started it. Oh and I literally learned to read from the first edition everything in the table top game does that make my Battletech e wang bigger than yours?

I like the idea of more 20 tonner options even though nothing much could be loaded on them.

[Tyler Valentine]

Stinger, Wasp and Phoenix Hawk... The real Holy Trinity.

[Rhaythe]

Russ has already said he has no interest in introducing another 20-tonner into the game. Otherwise, we'd have a Wasp by now.

[patataman]

The locusts need 20t friends to play with.

Don't forget the Valkyrie and Crusader.

pretty sure that comment was made when specifically pressed about the Flea.

Which was along the lines of: The Flea is slower than the locust, similar hardpoints and geometry to the locust, and has les versions to the Locust, thus it brings NOTHING to the table, and even said it was "dead to him".

I certainly did not read it as a blanket attack on all future 20 tonners, and mechs like the Stinger/Wasp are humanoid and jump, thus will play differently than the Flea/Locust, or even the Commando.

As for the Wasp, they only just started bringing in Macross Unseen with the Warhammer and Marauder, why would we have expected to see the Wasp by now?

think him got mad and took ball and left. Guess I can go back to playing with my japanese toys now.

I'm not personally that bothered about the Stinger and Wasp, but I do think they should be sold together as a double pack.

I'd like this a lot. Like it even more if Alex snuck in Max and Miriya paintjobs to thumb noses at HG with.....
