Ehm...what does BFE stand for? Big f'n emptiness?

(Thinking of it...could be the name of the next Katatonia release...)

As someone who doesn't breathe Battletech lore, I wish these "news flashes" (and editorials) made more sense for the uninitiated. To me they're just white noise for the most part, with no included context or background to help me understand what the meaning of the events are and why they're "news".

Definitely with you here.

I wonder what percentage of the players actually know what these announcements mean?

Periphery! Love that ****!

Quite a few, though I think that the majority is really in a the dark here. Quite a pity, it's really good storyline, just imagine Game of Thrones in a scifi setting. We even have our own version of Tyrion Lannister.

Most clanners are genetically engineered from the DNA of the Clans' greatest warriors. They are born from artificial wombs and raised in sibling companies or "sibkos" and do not have parents or families.

I'm assuming this is very accurate.

What will they do about the "Mad Cat"s giant catapult head/CT zone.
So big it's hard not to hit it, the main reason why I never like using it(alongside low ammo).

[Fiachdubh]

Pff.. its clearly just some internal pirate squabbling, rumours and coincidents, I confidently predict that it will all blow over and will be forgotten about soon enough. Nothing to see here so just go on home for tea and cupcakes.

For everyone saying "so now it begins". Did you miss the news flash about the kel hounds losing contact with mechs on the rock? You know.. When they first saw the timber wolf and phelan was taken as a bondsman?

[AdamBaines]

Man! Just when I was thinking about "summering" in Oberon too.........

[Illusion Tokomi]

Do the Clans know we're not ready for release yet?
I doubt they care...

The Federated Suns have a relatively quiet Periphery boarder, no? So aside from our Lyran friends, this has little relevance to us.

Riiiiiiiight. This is just bandit activity. Or, NO! It must be space aliens, or St. Kerenski returning from The Great Beyond to reclaim his lost Star League. Ooooooooh, scary!

Perfidious FedCom, you fool no one with your 'maneuvers'. If a filthy dog of war can follow the money trail, everyone else can. This is some idiotic attempt by the Lryans - now that they 'dont' have to worry about House Davion anymore - deciding to get a chunk of territory courtesy of the FRR. You're helping them, and we all know it. The Lyrans arent clever enough to come up with an annexation scheme like this, this has bloody fox-prints all over the crime scene.

You think House Kurita would stand by and let you annex our neighbor? Do you think you can just march without consequence like you do with the weakling Capellans? If you land your ships, even painted with the Fist, we'll know who is really invading, and you'll see the red mechs of the Swords of Light. It will be the last thing you scum ever see.

This should make them even better for you then. You don't know whats going on, you just hear bits and pieces of shenanigans afoot out in the periphery. Makes it so the story is new to you, where those of us who have played all the other games, and/or TT, and read the novels kinda know most of what's going to happen story wise.

[The Helepolis]

Oh for crying out...... What do those nuts in the Periphery keep getting themselves into?

[BadSkut]

[Davoke]

Hmmmmm.....
Does everyone have their "Clan Buster" mechs ready? I know I'm still a few c-bills short of finishing mine.

[SteelyDan]

Wait... So your telling me that there is something out there, besides Pirates, Outlaws, and the villiany scum of the Universe?
Come on!
You want my Clean, and pristine K2 to go out there?
To Fight what, Space?
I'll stay right here, thank you very much!

I heard some crazy rumours that Redjack Ryan and Hendrik Grimm III were killed.

Neither man had any shortage of enemies, especially after that debacle on Fianna. Maybe the Lyran recon finally stomped their way out to the Elysian Fields and mopped 'em up for good.
