HURRAH!!! You're back!

Absolutely correct, Psi. Lack of safe potable water and diseases (both natural and manufactured) have been the biggest killers in EVERY war throughout history.

yep. real life and fictional life nearby a spaceport ARE NOT like Space Camp. I was a USAF brat with later life access to a farm's machine shop and chemicals.... I've had fun, but I still have my eyes and fingers because even this redneck realized you don't frak with some stuff.

Isn't there a different thread to take discussions about various BattleMechs, weapons and terrain choices? We seem to be astray of Speaker's story arc...

^^ He is right. On tabletop, LB10X is preferred to the 20. If you check Sarna, the 20 is only carried by a handful of unit types.

I must have broken versions of BMD and SSW. I can't shoehorn all that + JJs into the frame: it's overweight. Would love to see your stats on the beastie.

I'm not rich, nor a sucker, nor retiring... but I'd love me some 50-ish acres. Would finally have room to build a cannon range.

while that is a good idea, by allowing engineers and line ops into the facilities, you would be giving away ALOT of indirect information: condition of the equipment? state of spare parts for equipment? vulnerabilities of all types. far too many vital variables for my non-engineer brain to...

I rather enjoyed that wanking... fusion bomb-pumped X-ray lasers can be so much fun in space. ... unless there is a dud. ... and I'm the poor sap dispatched to go disarm it. Yep. Murphy's law would have my SI being the poor cannonfodder RedShirt EOD tech sent to clear and safe both the busted...

but... but... I thought the new weapons design was the Heavy HPG-pumped Naval pulse PPC with a 5 AU range and 25 Capital damage? Like Deathstar in reverse, but blue light. :)

I forget if CAC or allies can produce ER MLs and/or LBX-5 ACs. and what about TCs? I do know they have DHS in production. I misremember the Rifleman varient #; but there was one with an XL (up to 5/8) + FF armor + DHS (maybe 12?) + a Targeting Computer. The armor wasn't as much as you're...

maybe split this thread between general BattleTech discussions and the actual story and story reactions?

*queue rather disturbing squeals of joy* ... yesss.. YES! And the sweat of thy brows are the Dew of Life for the medusa that is thy MUSE! [insane cackling] <ahem> Thank you all for your excellent writing. I don't know about you, but the above statement definitely applies to me: the more...

when it comes to fanfiction, I've found that cartoonish characters with predictable plotlines and EZ shipping and happy endings are simple, nigh easy to write. But when you want to add realism to the plot (as the enemy is often smart and has contrary plans of their own) and depth to characters...

*Applause* THUNDEROUS Applause.

Glad to have you back, Speaker. Shit w/ SB cannot be helped: some people be dicks when they run into someone willing to stand for his principles. And I stand and applaud you for doing so.
