We need another one of these so badly

I'm curious what your process is for picking mechs. Even with 3025 limiting the volume quite a bit, there are still absolute gobs of mechs to pick from

Awesome, 100%. Its name is apt, it's surprisingly durable, and has a bunch of different configurations over its lifetime. It's simple, survivable, and upgradable. In short, an excellent mech

My kids have declared Homestar Runner and Strong Bad as peak

If you're not careful, CGL may do a chibi line of mechs 😆

These designs are just incredible

Claymore, Longshot, Meat, and Steel were always my core 4

Mech3's briefings were probably amongst the best in the series

I'm taking a lot of this inspiration from Mech Commanders 1 & 2 as well as the old MechWarrior titles, as I think this will solve a lot of the spawning frustrations that players are running into while still keeping that lance vs the world feel that Mech 5 really goes for

So if I attack, say, the fuel depot, it'll be defended by X points of vehicles stationed at a vehicle hub. If they need reinforcements (say I destroy 25% of the garrison), a lance of mechs is detached from the outpost and travels across the map to the fuel depot

Each base has a fixed garrison force with scouting forces on the map, and there are fixed reinforcements when the map is generated. Let's say there are two lances that can be used when the player attacks and destroys a facility.

Let's take a demo mission for example, which my experience has been these are among the weakest mission types. Let's have 3 bases on the map you have to destroy on a 3x3 km grid - a fuel depot, helo base, and mech manufacturing facility

I'm still ramping up on a lot of the lore in BTech, what happened to the Bears in ilClan? Is it the Dominion Divided (I think Civil?) war?

So satisfying to obliterate Lights with 6 pips of evasion 😆

I asked some CGL guys at PAX Unplugged a couple of years back which mech was their most requested to canonize and without hesitating they said the Bull Shark
