Heh. This thread made me so nostalgic for the original Macross saga I went ahead and started rereading the books. You forget, after 30 years, how bad and two dimensional the characters really were. Every once in a while you see a hint of a classic sci-fi trope, but then it gets squashed under some egregious dialogue or stereo-type. Which is indicitive of the fact that within the books, there is almost nothing glaringly original about any of them. But, its like a lot of my space opera sci-fi, its a guilty pleasure. I get to reconnect with them all the same, and it brings back fond memories.

Doesn't matter what they look like. They're a mediocre mech at best and a complete waste of money. That's the first and last time I get one of the new releases. I decided to get it out of nostalgia. Unfortunately I got buyers remorse module with this mech.

Wow! I look the Phoenix Hawk and I don't like it at all! I reminds of Macross or Robotech.... not mechwarrior... anyone else share this feeling?

Nope

Thanks.

Still, a 45 ton mech running at 167kph is insanely fast.

which is ok if you want a mech that big that fast with three small pulse lasers ..

( disclaimer ) I haven't tried to make a build with a max engine, yet..but I can't be far off it
