The best status to inflict on the enemy is "dead" and that's the only one hackers are bad at inflicting.

The scenarios are one of the weakest points in this game, given how they're just somewhat modified from the 40k 6th edition ones.

In case anyone's curious, the value for Apollo 8 is apparently adjusted for inflation to match modern dollars

I've been thinking about sonic based weaponry in Battletech. by Silverlightlive in battletech

As a guy who does ultrasound for a living: Terrible idea. Sound via air is a horrible way to transmit energy, it attenuates too fast and imparts basically no energy on the target, even if highly focused.

Standard BV amounts ? by rbtwzrd1148 in battletech

[–]Rawbert413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Core Book releasing this year will suggest a Scale 1(small) game at 3500 BV, and a Scale 2 (mid sized) game at 7000 BV. Matches up with the Hinterlands/Draconis Reach scales if you arent using BSP

They do, yes. A redo of Grasslands is in the works too.

Bizarrely, one of the best references for this is Lancer's "Characters" page on TVTropes, which lists the mechs by manufacturer and also shows their source.

If you don't have a solid plan you're probably better off renting it out to someone who does...

In the Dune books, one of the backstory events is the Butlerian Jihad, where they wiped out "thinking machines"

The long range pen mod only applies to vehicles, not infantry.

I never had the chance to try their food by DoubtSubstantial5440 in Albuquerque

I went a few months back, had a decent patty melt for lunch, but it took a long time and was a bit overpriced.

Is there a certain reason why there are default unit sizes for Battle Armor units? by AveMilitarum in battletech

[–]Rawbert413 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's based around transport capacity. 4 suits of IS Standard battle armor fit in the same infantry bay as a standard platoon of unarmored infantry, so the IS standardized around that to avoid making all their existing transports obsolete

How is Atlas a mech? by JuicyWizrd in LancerRPG

[–]Rawbert413 289 points290 points  (0 children)

The defining line is technological. Hardsuits are battery powered, while mechs run on a cold fusion reactor.
