It's based on the Falcon mech

So the Corone, Molniya, and Peregrine have finally been shown?  Are they any good?  And do they explain why they are no longer in the Clan Fleets?

Yes, they are there. Small ships i.e. Corvettes smaller than a Vincent. In many cases designs were not completely killed off. There are fluffy openings!

To add to what Tak said- the 6 Molniya have all been destroyed or scrapped.  The Corone had 6 in the class. The last 2 were scrapped.  However the design was given steroids and served as the basis for the Nightlord.  There Peregrine is vague.  2 ships are mentioned but there is no indication how many were built.  They also mention how they served in the Jihad.

The Molniya was my favourite of the 3 scrapped because the Wolves had a bad use of them.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Golden Century wolves naval wise were idiots.   

Naval Warriors were disgruntled since regular Warriors wanted armored Transport and got their way.. 
Clan get Safcon, why heck would you need a WarShip?  (love'em but still, it's Clan rituals)

I'm really surprised as the Crusade built poltical stem that desired logistics didn't pop up like transports to conduct what eventually was Revival. Then again it is the Clans...

I'm more incline that writers of the fluff for the three remaining (1st) WarShips had to explain what happened to the ships.

Given CGL's and many players bias towards the game balance of how WarShips have on universe is bias for mechs. Aka, they don't want them in the universe except in fluff.

Don't get me wrong, i love Mechs, i think their too heavy handed and causing them to be rare things and driven into extinction.  That's why these three remaining ships are removed.  If wasn't for the fact the Peregrine was mentioned in later years during the Wars of Reaving, all these ships would been toast.

I'm grateful for everyone who does does the Fanfiction stuff to keep them alive.

I'm actually little annoyed that most new new mini-TRO is filled with only Mechs, only ONE is actually a new new design.

Warships could have been used to amplify the power of the BattleMech. The way in which the universe became a Mech myopic rather than Mech centric disappoints me.

I feel that there are way too many Mech designs as well.

Hopefully, you and the rest of your guys can get the band back together do a update AU or new one with more of a balance.

The reason the current line of products features so many old designs is to sell minis from the new Kickstarter that makes a lot of sense to me

There's more than one new desig over all of them maybe one per product though im not sure

I agree the First Succession War product, the Star League product and even the Jihad all proved quite clearly you could have WarShips and BattleMechs having a ball in the same battle

One thing I think they should have done is instead of Stoners "sheild" "bubble" "wall" whatever is use an in game mechanic WarShips.  The Republic deploy a couple of dozen of them overnight several in every system and each time a Succession state send units in they obliterate them the succession states use nukes so do the Republic back to wall time comes back to wall measures

With the memories of the Jihad and enemies on all sides people would have stopped hitting the republic

That's interesting. I wish they had been able do that. 
Next coming should be novel/Novella, Icon of War
