HEY!

We're all extremely busy hitting F5 here!

As an aside, I suppose I should also remind our viewers that F5 is a shortcut on more than one program...

F5 for starting your program in development in the Visual Studio ... reminds me of work

F5 is my shortcut to adjust brushes in Photoshop. Let me help take your mind off work.

I'm digging those repaints, Hayden. Great to see some earthy greens/browns.

[Adridos]

NIce repaints.

But can I ask? A far as I know, St. Ives doesn't have access to teh Cataphract... I may be wrong, though.

That's the Beauty of Battletech.Someone somewhere could always get hold of one {sale,battlefield salvage,etc} where they take it is up to them?

Per the 3039 TRO, pg. 230:
"Similarly, when the St. Ives Compact broke away from the Capellan Confederation, a number of prototype Cataphracts fell under the control of the St. Ives Lancers."

At least you don't have to use those crappy Davion ones. I'd feel sorry for you.

Also, I forgot to mention, during the chat with Garth on Reddit yesterday, I asked him about St.Ives on your behalf. They still haven't implemented it, so it may not end up just as an extension of Capellan Confederation.

Don't give me that ticky-tack bowing. We're peers

And anyone is capable of referencing TROs

...but I do appreciate your enthusiasm.

[Ironhawk]

Enthused... Flashy... FX-intensive... Probably. But yuck to ticky-tacky for IH. It was nice to see a little lore fencing between Adridos and yourself and it made me smile. The bow was felt.

Alright, back to a social week-end in RL. Paintshop prod is sssloooow.

[Semyon Drakon]

I've been following this thread for as long as it's been running and I have to say I am seriously impressed with the skill of everyone who had done a repaint. they look amazing.

If I had a request at all it would be to see one of the new Cataphracts in the colours of the 1st Kathil Uhlans, probably my favourite IS unit.

Cheers and once again, fantastic work.

now this is something I hope we can do in game and really customize our mechs.

not gonna happen - DLC mappacks have changed the mod community scene forever

[HIemfire]

Hopefully this one gets done for me (my last request might have been a bit mutch). If I could please get a repaint of the Cataphract (CTF-1X) that they have released in the colors/pattern of the Magestry of Canopus Colonial Martials with this pentacle in place of the Waco Rangers's star on the left lower leg (the white area outside the outer ring is not needed, though if needed turning the white transparent so that the armor underneath the decal shows through would be neat). For the left arm in place of the anti-WD grafitti the words "If Needs Be" and on the right arm "As You Must" on the PPC frame. The lettering color does not matter so long as it is visable.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much
is there a template for the Cataphract yet somewhere? (not on your first post yet)

[Anton Lysenko]

Privyet!

I hate to ask, but could I get a Cataphract done in the colors of the 15th Drakon?

Quote

The 15th uses the same gray and green paint scheme as their original Star League forebears. The 15th paints "hash marks" along 'Mech limbs or the main body of a fightercraft or vehicle for battlefield kills.

Per FM: Capellan Confederation, page 94.

And if a unit patch is done, I prefer the "old" one:



Thanks!

As I do recolors I work on tweaking things on the template. I will release it soon, but not tonight.

I also prefer the old-style 15th Dracon insignia, and have one on file. I think I might be able to squeeze that in.
