    That is a very nice idea. <3

    Ooh yeah I really really like that idea

    So with all the stuff I'm getting in this, I'm really tempted to drop the $40 IS retaliation and just buy the two box sets for $60, since the boxes themselves will come in handy for storage space.

    Matthew "Handgimp" Walker will receive a name in the hall of warriors. Canonized forever as an Oosik of the highest grade and honor. Immortalized in person and in soul. Gone, but not forgotten.

    @Handgimp we salute you, brother.

    60% of "class" is just "ass".

    There's going to be another "Social Media Mission" where if they can get at least 1000 clicks through to the Norse Foundry KS, then Norse Foundry (who is doing the challenge coins and has done a bunch of other stuff in the past) will increase the size of the coins by 20%, from 1.25" to 1.50"

    Sure, but smaller bullets mean you can fit more of them into your cockpit.

    Hmm, Bloodnamed with:
    Clan Heavy Star (Stone Rhino is non-negotiable, but the rest are also really damn good)
    Clan Heavy Battle Star (Ebon Jaguar, see above)
    Comstar Command Level II (KGC and HGN? Easy choice)
    IS Command Lance (Gotta have a Marauder)

    addon: IS Battle Lance (WHMs have been good to me in MWO)

    I'm weird and would swap the add-on from IS to one of your Clan Stars. That way you get one more mech for $5. Yeah it is random, but a mech for $5 is not bad.

    FWIW, the Heavy Star has a Marauder IIC, which, like, you can use for a standard Marauder if you want.

    It's got them sweet fins on the back too. So it gets +1 to movement.

    I thought the Marauder II had the fins, not the IIC

    Either way, I’m a fan of the old school MAD so it doesn’t bother me to add on for it

    Yeah the II has the fins while the IIc looks similar to the Marauder. At least in MWO that is.

    When HBS announced that this winter's DLC for BATTLETECH would be called Heavy Metal, there was a lot of speculation that it would include some of the unseen. As much as I love those early models and HBS' BATTLTECH, I was pretty blase about the news and could take it or leave it.

    Now that I've seen some of these redesigned models, though, the unseen bloodlust is upon me and I will be sorely disappointment if Heavy Metal doesn't include a whole bunch of them!

    Also bringing this forward as well -

    Oosik's trading post google doc

    e: also per my brother-in-law the rank insignia in handgimps picture there looks like he was Petty Officer First Class, possibly job as electrician's mate. That combined with his service record snippet, I vote we make his character Oosik's chief nuke doc, sort of a Chief O'Brien type.

    You know, I feel like I'm watching one of those Public Television pledge drives. You know the one where they show some sort of special, ask for pledges and if you hit some sort of tier you get a tape, VHS, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. of the show you are watching. Then they have the dollar amount counter going in the background with all these people sitting around on the phones for the calls.

    Of course this is only for those kids in the USA and watched Public Television...
