You're missing an opportunity here by saying that you're not actually the Juodas from the other forums, you're a completely new guy who just happens to feel the same way about quads, sorry QUADS, to inflate the numbers so eventually Mitch and company will have to put them into the game.
Instead of artificially inflating the number of 'people' wanting quads through deception, i'd rather actually inflate the number through my sheer enthusiasm.
 
Yup. It features in 3 stories and is one of my favorite tidbits in the lore; it makes the setting feel more human to have ghost stories and tales of possessed mechs, because people have been telling stories like that for millennia.
What, you mean like Portia? (I finally got my SDR-5V, by the way.)
 
Portia is not possessed! She's a storied Spider that any mechwarrior would be happy to pilot!
Y'know, aside from that whole "no ejection seat" thing.

Still puts it ahead of Kiva's outfit, where the ejection seats are disabled anyway. Or so I heard, in hushed tones, while someone begged me to hire them away from her. Some places in the Aurigan Reach call her 'The Dread Lady Kiva', and say she's so ruthless even Zathras doesn't want her anywhere near it.

It's the periphery.....I don't need Kiva's rules....I'm selling the Ejection Seat Mechanism and all Airbags from my mechs for one more ammo reload.
All Employees must not wash their hands before returning to work. Soap is a commodity that was cut last month from the budget.

...but... those are exactly the things Kiva would do... [narrows eyes]

It worked on me ;)
 
Quads? Since when are Krogans a "thing" in Battletech? :p
At least our Quads work :p
Now if you don't mind I'd rather not be reminded of Mordin's brave sacrifice :(

I'm sure there are stories told in mess halls throughout the Inner Sphere that take the phrase "zombie mech" to its literal conclusion.

Speaking of BT mysteries... isn't the Aurigan Reach right about where the Vandenburg White Wings and their twenty Star League transports made their brief appearance? Hmmm....

Well. We can use a zombie mech or too to keep all our FrankenMechs on the Argo company. Spit and bailing twine. I can't wait. With random shouts from the mech bay after repairs "It's Alive!!!!"

Yup. New Vandenberg is in the Taurian Concordat right at the joint border between that state and the Federated Suns and Capellan Confederation, and in fact we'll be able to travel to that system in the game as it will also be near the TC border with the Aurigan Coalition.

The Vandenberg White Wings are an unconfirmed rumor, though, which ComStar believes to be the result of mistaken retellings of their operation to destroy SLS Tripitz back before the ComGuards were public knowledge.
 
"Needs more Mason Garrilac's Diplomatic Techniques"
...yeah, I hear the bog out behind the Garrilac Manson has some low ground in need of filling. (a #DFAthing)

Greetings, all - I'm Dave, the AI engineer here at HBS.

Every time the AI does a called shot on your left torso, where you've got all that volatile ammunition, and the ensuing crit blows off your left arm, feel free to curse my name.
The hopes and prayers of a grateful people are with you, good Sir. :bow:

Thanks Juodas' efforts, I don't even remember a time before the QUAD was ALL. : )

Indeed, many of us are hoping and praying the AI makes many successful called shots at Prussian's weak points:D
