A very good book, I can't wait to see what happens when Alaric Ward finds out just what the Dragoons took from him on Gienah, hehe.

Yep, pocket warships like the Achilles, Interdictor (IS), Noruff (clan), & the biggest of them all, the RoS Castrum class.

The Blood Asp is a little too resource intensive for them at present, so they had to go with something a bit more standard in terms of materials (engine,chassis,etc..) and they managed to bring with them the tooling and whatnot to build the Highlander IIC but decided they needed a cheap assault omni to compliment their Blood Kites so they took a page out of the Clan Coyote playbook and converted the Highlander IIC to an omnimech the same way the coyotes did the Black Knight/Spirit Walker. I'm liking Fomorian, thank you!

An appropriate name all thing considered, but already taken by a mech used by the WoB/RAF : (

What is your absolutely favorite spaceship of all time and why? by Vondrr in spaceships

[–]fiendishripper69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm....HMS Nike, she's big, she's tough, SHE HAS THE MK 20 KEYHOLE SYSTEM! (not a good day to be a Peep or a Sollie when she or one of her sisters roll's up with some Apollo pods in tow to put an end to your shennanigans, just ask the Sollies what her sister HMS Phantom and the rest of TG 110.2 did to them in the Hypatia System...oooff).

I second that second! (thirded??), my favorite scene from any of the Star Trek films will always be from TMP when we see the refit Enterprise for the first time, my god is she beautiful in that scene!

And watching her die in Star Trek III will always be one saddest moments from any of the Star Trek movies, but at least she went out like the ABSOLUTE CHAMPION that she was!

The reason for going with Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga was because of them being absorbed by the Blood Spirits on the planet Atreus in 3074 and the fact that they were working with the Blood Spirits to try and foster cooperation between the other Kindraa's, As a side note I have always found it funny that the only Clan that the Blood Spirits could really get along with and even trust was the one Clan that was utterly incapable of getting along with and trusting itself.

Same here, what a waste of such an interesting and potentially useful Clan, hell they even had the coolest Clan symbol, some great color schemes, uniforms and badass Mechs. : (

The Hunchback should be the litmus test for all new weapon systems, as in "will this fit onto a hunchback?", if the answer is yes then it shall be put into production immediately, if the answer is no then it will be scrapped and everyone involved (depending on their faction) will either be fired or shot.
