Sat. Sept 29, 3049: Rumors of lostech cache—from the defunct Commonwealth Mining Corporation, on C.M.O. 26 surface.

[Stormwolf]

Nice, would love to find a vintage Thug or Starslayer in there.

[pesco]

Caustic Valley is on C.M.O. 26.

orly? gonna find some secret cave now ^^...probably up there, in the middle of the crater, right? ^^

[DNI Sniper]

Oh boy, mining equipment.



Better be a friggin' locust...

[AgileWraith]

At least its not on LV426.

[The Basilisk]

So they found a Star League Store House....
I realy realy don't like the thought of Highlander and other ComStar only Battlemechs getting in Player Hands because its COUNTER CANON.
But this may be the prequell or the start of constant reasoning why Mechs like Highlander KingCrap and so on turn up in Player Hands.


Or in other words this would be totaly not funny.

[Farside]

Get me A Hussar or heck any mech with Endo-steel, LB Autocannon, Double heat sinks and Entended range lasers.

[Cache]

Sounds more like Forest Colony than Caustic Valley.

[SCivFi]

Most probably found an capsule with a note inside saying windows 8 really did suck, plz don't install!

[DocBach]

We're suppose to be getting alternates of each map, maybe the new one will have this Star League Cache in it.

[Fomorian]

Would be cool to have Lostech salvage if you win the match on the new map...just saying

[StreakEagle]

I'm hoping for a Phoenix Hawk LAM, just sayin.
Even if it was limited to NOT going Full AeroFighter mode.
That movement rate would not work on existing maps.
Yes, it's under armed for the weight, and light on armor.
Awesome for recon and quick fill of a hole in your line.
Although a beagle probe would be nice too.
Bit early in the time line for C3 but looking forward to it.

Happily finding my place in the Murphys Law lineup.

So... lostech is now foundtech?

I doubt it would be to the extent of a planet full of SL era mechs, and finding equipment and going "Woohoo!!" is pretty short sighted. It's the manufacturing techniques that are the real gems. If the tech specs and plans for "new" mechs were found, it would allow for slow rate construction of SL-era mechs without breaking the TL, especially since the Grey Death Memory Core has already been recovered.

On a side note, I doubt people will like the standard SLDF mechs much, the SLDF was an expeditionary force, they tend to run energy heavy and hot, usually only their "base defence" mechs have a balanced loadout. I suspect this was also one of the reasons for Comstar's attrition tactics against the Clans, wear them out until the weapons difference start to show.

[Generic Player]

Enough Battle. More Tech.

[Biohack]

The Basilisk:
Just because a mech is traditionally piloted by Comstar pilots, does not mean you couldn't get your hands on one. Obviously, you could earn one through salvage, or perhaps even through payment for a job assuming you are in good relations with Comstar, etc.

[Hythos]

Always difficult to decide on how much hardware to reverse-engineer....

[Vulcan Viper]

Larger maps, more mechs.

[RagingOyster]

Could the devs be hinting at what is to come? Maybe this will be their way of justifying rarer mechs being used by players. Personally i say hell yeah gimme that SLDF tech! Nothing would make me happier than a King Crab in my mech bay
