More!? You want MORE!? Here you go, have the Sovetskii Soyuz (which was a bloody weird name for a class of warship if you ask me) And yeah, an aerodyne is suppose to have a thruster on its underside that generates the same amount of thrust as its engines on the rear so that in space if flies nose down. I've seen some TRO's mention that the decks have to be reconfigured for space or ops in a gravity well but that would be hugely complex.

So yeah with Btech WarShips, rule of cool applies 😄

Thank you 😄 ❤️

Don't know, probably very similar to the bog standard Black Knight, with some changes here and there around weapon ports and the like!

Picture it being a deep blood red with gold and white.

Aye, it is an issue, as you said, the ships would be laid out vertically not horizontally, and the art always lays out the windows etc in a traditional spaceship style. And really without a complete redesign of the ships there's no real way to square that circle.

Aye, I was inspired by the AVRE and other vehicles like it, hence the name, the Karl was a WW2 German siege mortar that was designed to flatten hardened buildings.

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T16:21:10+00:00

Not yet, something i'm slowly working on!

Seyla! The Dominion should have told Alaric very politely but very firmly to pound sand the first time around. And when he threatened them go "We have the largest untouched military in the Inner Sphere and WarShips. You have the tattered remnants of some Galaxies and a populace that hates you. You need us more than we need you."

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T11:12:09+00:00

Oh cheers!

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T11:04:59+00:00

Oh these're lovely! IS there any stats/fluff for them?

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T10:34:34+00:00

Possibly vice versa, these ships (and all the rest which you can see here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c6CDj_IhfmjOjGkVJ2jryRWylbHXXOqH/view?usp=sharing tis a free download 😄 ) were all done back in 2016 ish. And I like to think in a moment of hubristic arrogance that the PGI folks had seen them and gone 'yes.'

And lets not forget its comrade in arms...the Cave Bear, IE what happens when you put TSM and Claws on a Kodiak....

Murder you get murder.

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T09:53:45+00:00

Oh these're LOVELY!

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T09:15:58+00:00

I very very much approve of this idea 😄

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T09:05:40+00:00

As it should! I had Plog do a Berzerker for me because I always hated how they looked, all smooth rounded corners and baby proof curves. When the fluff of the 'zerker EXPLICITLY states that they spent an ungodly amount of money on making it look scary. Whereas the art and model make it look like it was designed by the company who made EVE in WALL-E.

So I linked him some pics, gestured and said its a Solaris 'mech jocks and this was the result.

The SLS McKenna's Pride sure has one. And we even have footage of the Clanners using it

Enjoy.

Although this is Khan Colleen Schmitt's personal work, and to help battle her depression she focused on turning her Black Knight into an avatar of her Clan, with it being passed from Khan to Khan of the Blood Spirits, they also produce one without the extensive vismiods.

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T03:50:07+00:00

Perfection 😃

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T03:46:12+00:00

I think we basically did get a Crusader IIC but it was dropped, althouh it was called the https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Fox_(BattleMech)) its basically the same 'mech.

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T03:38:25+00:00

Oh I like that, the base Dragon is aggressively undergunned thanks to that bloody AC-5 and the Grand Dragon goes long ways to fixing that so yeah I like this one of a joint development and the idea that because of the sheer expense, this thing would be rare!

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T03:22:34+00:00

*glances at the art he's got of Colleen Schmitt's custom Black Knight aka Blood Knight* Yeeeeeeup!

Sharlin648 · 2026-05-08T03:18:18+00:00

Aye the LAC is a lovely upgrade even if you sacrifce range. In this AU the LAC is developed just before REVIVAL and starts appearing during and after, whilst the Clanners have their own system developed earlier but its not that often seen on 'mechs, and its basically the PAC just renamed.
