Few and far between.

As you can read in the article, the system was used only twice: onn Prometheus and then on Epimetheus.

Later in the timeline the WOB made a somewhat less drastic version of the DNI interface. It still did the direct link, but just not so radically.

Hey, don't look at me.

I posted this in general discussion for MWO and it somehow got kicked into "off topic."

I love this stuff, good posting Pht!

[Stingray Productions]

Glad you liked it.

ATM I am re-editing the essay to make things a bit clearer and adding little bits of information.

I'll make sure to Tag the edited-on date at the top of the thread so that everyone can see it's been refreshed and updated.

This is fantastic! I am going to purchase the Techmanual thanks to this Essay. Its a great read and is a pointed reminder how Battletech's attention to detail rivals many of the more popular science fiction settings.

Pht this is a great essay. Worthy of Catalyst's TT books.

Um... that's because the information is ... from ... their TT books. Cray wrote the original source articles I pulled the information from.

I'm really nothing more than a middle man here, who saw a REAL need in the MW video game community for this knowledge.

So, go tell Cray over at the BT forums thanks... and myabe buy a copy of TechManual to say "thanks" to the publishers for greenlighting this kind of writing.

The edit/re-write is still progressing.

I think the DIY cockpit makers will find some of the newer stuff very useful... that is, if they're geek enough to be interested in the canonicity of their cockpits!

[Dirus Nigh]

Oh well that enplanes it then. I have not read the books in almost two years. I figured you at least used them for reference material.

I already bought most of the catalyst hardback rule books.

Useful. But question. Does it say what the big red button attached to my seat is for? I'm really curious.

... I would suspect your 'Tech rewired your eject button...

Does the button have a cover that says "for a good time, hit this button?"
