I am looking for a copy of Terchnical Readout 3039 [Second Printing] , please.The first print is the one in all the troves at the top of the thread ; the one I'm trying to find has a bunch of corrections and states "Corrected Second Printing" on the credits page.TIA!
This has probably been asked before, but what real songs would you want on the soundtrack for a BattleTech movie or series?My pick for an end credits theme would be Wishing on a Star by Rose Royce, just because it kinda has the same energy as a lot of those melancholy 80s Real Robot anime ending themes like the original Gundam or Votoms.https://youtu.be/uyWfFRa4M1Y?si=PTgnM2PckF1Ho-kp
So anons, propose a Battletech AU that is actually fun aside from Girls und Mech!
>>96744616I still wanna see Crimson Skies but with LAMs.
>>96744624I just want to see Crimson Skies again.

Apologies for asking this again but since I asked it after last thread reached page 10 and it went unanswered, I'll ask again: is it true Maximillian Liao piloted a Marauder-2R?
>>96745092Never heard that as reference to what mech he piloted. The closest when it was investigated previously I believe was a Thunderbolt and that was just implied rather than stated.
If something's available in the periphery(general), how reasonable would it be for mercs to also get their hands on it?
>>96745425More than likely.
>>96745483Asterion, my beloved, I can add you to MyDudes without shame
>>96745264Then at the least, that means Maximillian was a soldier in his youth. Still feels weird he got into BT Legends II and that I bet it doesn't have elaboration on his military career. Nor for his daughter Candace as well.
>>96744410Who are the German equivalents in Battletech? Or actual Germans in Battletech? I'm a newfag.
>>96746094The Lyran Commonwealth AKA House Steiner.They're kind of a combination of Imperial Germany and 1920s America.
>>96746193They're a bit more British Empire as in Victorian or Edwardian if you look into it more than US.
>>96746286Do they Polka?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_eAGM65zZA
>>96746301Only when they're not getting bombed by the Irish.
>>96746350I don't remember the IRA having a beef with Munich...
>>96746286Gonna have to take your word on that (am a Marik guy)Always got 20s America since their usual MO is "throw money at the problem"
>>96746193Badass. Time for a deep dive. Thank you, anon.
>>96746372People forget that the space IRA a.k.a. Skye is a key part of the Lyran Commonwealth.
>>96746384The whole Social Generals thing I think is inspired by WWI Britain, or at least a caricature of it.
>>96746439That trope goes further back. Think of the Crimean War where Britain was the most industrialized and advanced nation in the world but it was still lead by donkeys.
>>96746384>Always got 20s America since their usual MO is "throw money at the problem"Exactly!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Juy8j1jjV_8>>96746433>People forget that the space IRA a.k.a. Skye is a key part of the Lyran Commonwealth.Ok you got me there.
Huh, it's out already
>>96744616Hmm, no spaceships. Well almost no spaceships. Basically instead of KF drive working in zero gravity it instead works directly planet to planet and it is almost impossible to target it far from a celestial body. Though there is an option for installing an interference field that gives you a certain safe radius around your settlement, but it gets prohibitively expensive to support as its radius grows. Spaceships are still made but in pretty low quantities and mostly for scientific research or mining asteroids.
>>96746538The most smooth brain response to ever give when describing the Lyrans is to say they're space Germany despite the fact that most tropes just don't fit. Whenever pressed the answer is always because they speak German is about the only real argument they can give.Meanwhile if you compare them to 19th century Britain:>Heavy industry>Loves trade>Great equipment>Good troops>Dreadful leadership>Has a prestigious military academy more renowned for teaching high society social etiquette than practical military training>Thinks of everyone as uncivilized poorfags>Likes to throw money at problems and hire others to do their dirty work>Severe problem with ungrateful Irish bog trotters constantly trying to bomb you>German Royalty
>>96744565Either Ace's High or Where Eagles Dare. I feel like it should be a mega 80s. Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Guns & Roses, etc.
>>96744616Far Country without intelligent chickens. We red O the succession wars as the remnants of a merc outfit and DEST team fight for survival dominance on an isolated backwater. Coal powerplants not optional.
>>96746719Lyrans are a multiculture as any other state with Germanic language and culture being used as a bridge to gap between those.If you want your English/French medieval culture FedSuns is what you want.
>>96746433People might, GDL fans don't
Anyone got the roadmap of future force packs?>>96744616>So anons, propose a Battletech AU that is actually fun aside from Girls und Mech!A hentai version of Battletech. It already copies canon by having mechwarriors be half naked while piloting but now everyone is really hot. The Clans are now furries who seek to turn the people of the Inner Sphere into their sex slaves. Canopian genetic engineering created futas centuries ago and now they make up 10% of the Inner Sphere's population
>>96746780Its more the point that saying they're space Germany cause they speak German is dumb since when you bring up a checklist they have way more parallels with 19th century UK than Germany although that said people do forget just how closely aligned UK and Germany was for the 18th and 19th centuries and how much German culture influenced Victorian Britain.FedSuns also are basically the Space Normans which guess is just medieval Britain. Fuck is every faction in Battletech just a different time period of British?
>>96746886>Fuck is every faction in Battletech just a different time period of British?Blimey, e's figgered it out!
>>96744410What a coincidence this is the OP pic. What is everyone's favorite custom 'mech? Like op's sunder made specifically to kill infantry or that one 5/8 awesome variant.Mine is the Kerensky orion with the snub PPC
>>96746917Welcome to BritishTech! Reason that the late succession wars devolved into light skirmishes and raids is because everyone had to stop for tea breaks!
>>96746542All I recognize is the stakler
>>96746886>Fuck is every faction in Battletech just a different time period of British?Nah, once you get into the house books, only the Kuritas consistently remain imperial Japan in space. Everybody else is a weird future history thing that really doesn't resemble any current year or past place.
>>96746933Stalker/Shockwave/jumping Jade Hawk/Shadow Cat
>>96746934They're the colonial British wanting to colonize the rest of the Inner Sphere by force and shoot brown people :^)
