You realize there's a reason the clanners built their own version of the urbanmech, right?  They think themselves so superior, and yet they take an inner sphere only design and make their own copy of it.

Well the urbie IIC is almost unchanged from the original save for some optimized systems. The redesign also predates Omnimechs, when it was arguably most efficient to simply modernize the more viable SLDF mechs, and for all it's faults the urbie was a very effective low-cost urban defense unit.

Exactly what I mean though.  Clannies took an inner sphere mech and literally outright copied it to fit a role they were sorely lacking.  Which at times was almost out of character for clan arrogance.

With an urbanmech.  Kicking the bucket takes on a whole new meaning.  ;3

And so does hitting the bottom of the barrel.
So I've found out that in addition to MegaMek, which is the digital, java-based translation of the Battletech tabletop game more or less in it's entirety, there is MekWars, a strategic add-on to MegaMek that allows players to coordinate their MegaMek games as part of a persistent strategic war for the Inner Sphere, buying mechs, tanks, aircraft, and pilots from their faction's industry and managing their inventory of hardware. Now this is a stellar idea, MegaMek is a good idea by itself but it's kind of...well, barebones, but MekWars addresses that by not only adding unit persistence and context to battles but also providing a vessel to organize matches. There's just one problem, as of right now only two MekWars servers are running, MegaMekNET and MekWars Dominion, the former of which is a 3025 campaign, which means vastly restricted tech and equipment, and the latter is a 2765 campaign, which means less restrictive techs and more factions, but still a relatively small amount of battletech's staggering list of mechs and vehicles. To add onto this issue I've been attempting to use MekWars Dominion because fuck the 2nd Succession War, and quite simply nobody uses it, I think they've got 50 registered users total and the number of people online at any given moment seems to peak at 5, which kind of defeats the point of having the entire Inner Sphere and most of the Periphery to fight over, and rather cripples my ability to explore the system in depth. I would also like to point out that the whole system is very unintuitive and requires a dedicated user to decipher, which is no doubt partly responsible for the lack of players.

Well remember that by and large Clan tradition is built on brutal efficiency, not the "gets the job done fastest" kind of efficiency the "least wasteful" kind where everything traces back to preserving valuable war materials, even human life can become secondary to infrastructure and advanced weaponry. This is why they have Batchall and Zelbrigen, to prevent all-out conflict that would consume vast quantities of materials and weaponry, it's why they optimize all their tech so extensively and have Omnimechs, and it's why new designs tend to draw extensively from old ones.

That's kind of sad actually.  but then again.  Almost all of the battletech tabletop games are done in very personally set-up games.  And always have been, with not much wide range appeal.  So it's actually understandable that such would happen even without the glaring issues throughout it. Though mostly it's just been that most people don't even know about the tabletop at all as it hasn't really been given much facetime.

Yeah welcome to the new Starbound Forum UI.
Luckily, I think the number of complaints convinced them to make the upcoming dark version the default when it's ready.

Yeah, I was browsing the mods a week or two ago, I think my eyeballs actually melted from white overload. I also got a headache from fuckedup-movedaroundbutton syndrome.
Like, did they not use the UI at all before they released it? It SHOULD be common sense that an almost completely white background strains the eyes.
In fact I've used the default white background on reddit for years without trouble (maybe because there are so many other colors to break it up) and after that clusterfuck I can't look at it without my eyes hurting, thanks CF.

Mollygos I think, basically I got a bunch of warnings for being very unpolitically correct and telling Marx to actually get some bloody help and stop making a scene every other day or fuck off and stop making a scene every other day, and then when I used a reaction gif that contained "suck my dick" as a "come at me bro" message to the idea of being retroactively warned for anything I had recently posted they used it as an excuse to permaban me.

The really damning part is when other people tried to vouch for me and CF basically said "We can ban anyone we want at any time we want, the only reason we'll even tell you why we banned you is because we're nice" and that's why we got this forum.
