I don't want to engage in further thread drift here folks but what the hell. Warships are but a part of the combined arms BattleTech arsenal with the Mech as king. Warships are on a different scale than the Mech. Yeah they can annihilate targets on the ground but they can't take objectives intact. Its a shame that LAMs, Marine units, and space Mechs are not a major developments with the reintroduction of warships. I'd like to see hull fighting and boarding actions with fighters all in too close for warships to fend them off themselves. Of course that would add numbers of Mechs to the universe another thing that waters their special niche to some. MadCap makes good points but I would still like to see settings with massive numbers of warships and that is why we have OurBattleTech. So many wonderful angles to play. So its all good to me.

Great thing about cbt plenty branch points

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.

the Snow Rave/Outworlds Alliance Militaries haveput considerable time and resources into "S Team" Mechs (Identifiable by Liquid Storage containers on jump jet equipped mechs.  it would not surprise me if the Taurians with thier asteroid Corps have been doing this for centuries.

Heck, High-Test and I developed the ORC specifically as a naval Mech Asset for ground ops.

And yet we've never seen them anywhere.

lol, it's the different direction for me in my AU, Warships are the rule, and the troops we use are more like Marine Unit's than armys, sure we have Garrison units on the world, but it's not practical; to think of Mechs as the only means to achieve stuff, heck we depend more on armor and BA units with close fighter support than mech, but that's the style we choose. Yes still love to play a straight robot game, but please do not try to force other people into a set mold of playing, a game is there to be played and altered as a home group of players wish to play, as for the holders of the IP and what they do I mostly just say never mind and pick and choose what I wish to use, even said it in the rule books its just a guide people can do what they want for in house games lol
