Topic: Freebie giveaway time! WarShips, more WarShips and yet more WarShips! (Read 9683 times)

Hominid Mk II · « **on:** November 14, 2021, 06:44:38 AM »

Hello again, all! Once again, please consider this an early Christmas present from me to everyone else here in deep gratitude for my having been made to feel so welcome here since I joined!

Below are a collection of three upgraded WarShips and one completely new design from my Victor Victorious AU, which (as my .sig file says) you can find at

https://www.ourbattletech.com/forum/parallel-universes/victor-victorious-redux/

.

This AU diverges from the canon timeline in 3055, when both Melissa and Katherine Steiner-Davion rather than just Melissa alone were assassinated at the instigation of Ryan Steiner. As a result the Federated Commonwealth never split apart and the FedCom Civil War never happened. Operation Guerrero still happened, but it was a total failure for the Free Worlds League and only a partial success for the Capellan Confederation. The St. Ives Compact retained its independence from the CC. From 3068 to 3070 the Successor States joined the Word of Blake in a campaign to drive the Invading Clans from the Inner Sphere. When the WoB subsequently launched a genocidal attack on the Clan Homeworlds without consulting the rest of the Inner Sphere, recriminations and mutual distrust spiraled into a brutal war not unlike the Jihad in the canon timeline, waged from 3072 to 3079.

Well, there you go. One more thing concerning them that I cannot emphasize too much:

I did not come up with any of these designs. All four were designed for me by Dragon Cat at my request. None of the credit for them belongs to me and all of it belongs to him.

Nice light designs

I've only just remembered that I use this Vessel in my AU as well. It came free with my copy of Heavy Metal Aero and none of the credit for it belongs to me. It was designed by a guy named Larry "Highball" Leslie and all of the credit for it belongs to him.

I was wondering... would anybody here like to have a go at doing better? There was a passing mention in (I think) either TRO: 3085 or TRO: Prototypes that it apparently would have had a weaponry selection dominated by Naval Missiles if it had ever actually been built. Anybody want to try designing a Durandel which matches that description better?

And this is a collection of Heavy Metal Aero Vessel files containing my not-quite-complete collection of WarShips, JumpShips, Drop Ships, Small Craft, AeroSpace Fighters and Conventional Fighters. I've been compiling it for years withe idea of eventually offering it to Medron Pryde for his PrydeRock Industries website, but the place hasn't been updated for so long now, last time I checked, that I'm starting to wonder if it's become a digital abandoned property. $:-\$

Hope they're of some use to you, folks!

Wow, this brings me back. I still love using Heavy Metal though.

Me too! (Obviously!)

I really do have to wonder if Rick Raisley and company will ever come up with an updated new version, considering how long it been since the last version came out ... . $:-\$

Well, I just looked at the forums which are still up and running but there have been no new posts there since 2019.

Sigh! Well, that really isn't very reassuring, is it?

Edit:
Wrong board for this, I know, but.... Takiro, while you're here, and anybody else reading this... can anybody recommend a freeware 'Mech designer program that lets you build superheavy 'Mechs?

Yeah its sad cause I really liked it.
