Janos Marik knew he was a tired old man, his triumphs long behind him, and all that remained was a long slow slide into irrelevance. No matter what he told his supporters he was all too aware of that truth, and that he had buried the...
Oh hell yes, RACEnforcer is very much going to be a thing. It's almost a drop in upgrade, pull the AC for a RAC5 and three tons of ammo, but its taking a bit more time as everyone scrambles to try and solve the jamming issues that the RAC 5 has, especially when its arm mounted.
I do like the BattleAxe but its a little bit good for what i had in mind. My own thinking was eleven tons of armor, sixteen heat sinks, two large lasers, two MML5's with three tons of ammo, and a Flamer as a direct port from the 1X which is in production. Even then i'm wondering if thats too...

“As you can see our production capacity isn’t limited by space, but rather by machine tooling. We still have two additional sites which were stripped of machinery back in the second succession war, given they were dug out of the...

“Much as I like the idea of gaining control over Andurien Industries, my worry is the length of the trade route and its stability. While the Suns and us in the League haven’t come to blows recently, going through the...

Mildred Humphreys was an unhappy camper as she navigated the almost deserted library looking for their, in her mind unwanted, guests. Harry Brockton seemed to have started living in this library almost as soon as he had set foot on...
I'm staying away from what the other mech manufacturers are doing at the moment, mostly because going into everything they are up too up until its plot relivent would be a task and a half. I would need to go through not only Suns based manufacturers but also every major and minor manufacturer in...
RSB is just making Millitia mechs, If i'm remebering correctly it was created post 39 with older equipment looted from Marduk when that system was briefly recaptured in cannon. Here its off to a slightly more positive start due to the militia mech phenonium.

“Aaron it's good to see you again,” Hanse greeted the lord of the Draconis march warmly. Unlike his relationship with Michael Hasek-Davion he got along with Aaron Sandoval, the two men had worked together frequently since Aaron had...
the hardest part is the frame and the engine, from a technical standpoint, but the electronics and ammos hoists for the guns, along with the cooling system aren't that far behind them from an engineering perspective. Getting one of those wrong and you might lose power to an entire section, blow...

Andrew wasn’t quite sure just what this latest meeting was about. Despite the profitability of the dropship yards, and the critical importance of the jumpship refit slips, he had little to do with the aerospace industry. Yes...

Introduce the new CEO of Corean enterprise a wholly owned subsidiary of Trevlu mekworks; Andrew Brockton. I come down on the informational control side of the fannon debate on just why science advances so slowly in Battletech rather then the mature technology argument, which is why the Brocktons...
All good points, and true, but in a world where war has been constant for hundreds of years the limited funds that can be invested are going to be going to planets and regions which have military industries. It's not going to be nearly enough, but the very presence of military production would...
The funny thing is the outback is already in better shape then cannon, anyone from this au who saw the cannon shape of the outback would be horrified and probably slack jawed with incomprehension. There are three militia mech production sites in the outback proper beyond what was in cannon and...
The FE 240 line they have was orginally the Centurion line and what allowed them to put the Vulcan back into production, they moved it from Panapur to Basantapur and then took the old tooling which was in storage on Brockton and added it to the Basantapur lines. The initial idea was for...

Andrew hadn’t been entirely pleased to be called back home before the installation on Basantapor had been completed, but needs must when the devil drives. Honestly, he had expected better from the local government, they usually...
Jalastar did end up selling the Centurion line, but to Trevlu Basantapur not Lockheed-CBM, they took the money from that purchase and plowed it into Challange Systems, repairing and upgrading where they could. Between the information they got out of the Brocktons about the Liberty (really the...
