The Battletech universe, explained with cows
Star League-ism: You have two cows. A goat takes over the barn. One cow blows up the goat's home, then fights with the goat over the barn. The goat is killed. The fighting cow leaves the farm while the other cow proceeds to systematically nuke parts of the farm for the hell of it.
Rim Worlds-ism: You have two cows. They are nuked along with the rest of your nation because of what your goat did.
Outworlds-ism: You have two cows. They are pacifists who also happen to be ace fighter pilots. You are invaded by Combine cows. You slice off the heads of some of the cows and drop said heads on remaining Combine cows. You still are pacifists.
Taurian-ism: You have two cows. The cows openly carry nuclear weapons. No one messes with you because you will nuke their asses if they look at you sideways.
MoC-ism: You have two cows. One buys rank in your military, the other tours human space as a novelty in a "pleasure circus."
FRR-ism: You fight for hundreds of years for freedom for your two cows. You win freedom for you and your cows. Your cows are subsequently made Bondscows to Clan Wolf and Clan Ghost Bear. Your life sucks.
St.Ives-ism: You have two cows. You commit treason. You and your cows are seen as good guys. You are also seen as an independent nation. Neither statement is true.
Free Worlds-ism: You have two cows. That's it. No one cares.
Lyran-ism: You have two cows. One starts a business and becomes insanely rich. The other buys rank in your military and subsequently loses three assault regiments and two worlds to a band of pirates in Locusts.
Draconis-ism: You have two cows. One charges a Smoke Jaguar Dire Wolf in a Phoenix Hawk. He dies honorably and quickly. The other refuses to charge and is ordered to slice open his belly to atone for dishonor and having a brain. You are messed up.
Capellen-ism: You have two cows. Your Celestial Wisdom orders them to participate in cow wave attacks against the FedSuns. You still lose half your nation.
Davion-ism: You have two cows. One joins the military and is hailed as a hero. The other sits on the impoverished farm. You don't care about the second cow.
ComStar-ism: You have two cows. They are neutral in all things. You have swamp land in Florida to sell if I buy the neutral thing.
WoB-ism: You have two cows. They walk around in robes with math symbols. Everyone makes fun of the cows. The cows nuke everyone.
FedCom-ism: You have two cows. One can't fight but is rich. One fights expertly, but is poor. Instead of working together, your cows blame each other for their faults and fight a war with each other.
Wolf-ism: You have two cows, distantly related. Both are ************s, one has a good PR agent. They beat the crap out of each other and sit in opposite corners of the room, refusing to speak to each other.
Falcon-ism: You have two cows. One gets his entire Cluster killed by a guy with an physically impossible explosion. The other kills the best Mechwarrior in human space with a jump jet to the head. People can't decide if you are munchy or unlucky.
Jaguar-ism: You have two cows. Both are ************s who like to massacre civilians. You are suprised when everyone comes after your cows and blows them apart.
Ghost Bear-ism: You have two cows. You have good PR. Everyone sees the cows as nice. They ignore the fact the cows threaten massacres more often than the Jaguar cows.
Viper-ism: You have two cows. Both are super-elite. You exist to lose to the Falcon cows. Sorry.
Raven-ism: You have two cows. They can't fight their way out of a paper bag on the ground. Good thing you won't let anyone reach the ground.
Scorpion-ism: You have two cows. Both are stoned.
Cobra-ism: You have two cows. They are almost as messed up as the Scorpion cows, just without the drugs. What was that Marx said about religion being opium?

Adder-ism: You have two cows. They build an insane army and navy. They just sit there, doing nothing.
Coyote-ism: You have two cows. Both are perceived as losers. You build a lot of new equipment. You are still seen as losers.

Mandril-ism: You have two cows. They fight with each other more than with anyone else. People ignore you.

Horse-ism: You have two cows. They follow combined arms doctrine. People drop Inferno IV missiles on your cows and have ribs for a month.
Hellion-ism: You have two cows. One has a temper tantrum and is ridiculed by all others. The other cow only fights to the first hit thinking that alone determines the victor, he is quickly destroyed by enemy cows.
Wolverine-ism: You had two cows. Both got sent to the abbatoir for being unruly. All that remained of them was a single hoof that hopped off and told anyone who would listen that someday it will rule the galaxy
Nueva Castile-ism: You have to cows. One speaks Spanish and has been around for a long time.

Hansa-ism: You have two cows. Both are Captain-Generals, vying to force each other out of business while keeping their markets closed to outsiders, by force, if necessary.
Pirate-ism: You have two cows. One has a pegleg and a hook on one of his orns, the other a patch over one eye and parrot on his horns. Both mercilessly raid the other cows for hay and water.
Marian Hegemony-ism: You have two cows. One wears a toga and believes he is a great ruler from Terra's ancient past. The other cow is a ruthlessly oppressed slave who plots to win his freedom. His name is Spartacus.
Kell Hound-ism. You have two cows. They face each other in combat. One cow is about to destroy the other cow when the other cow disappears from the first cow's "sights." The first cow chops off his horns, throws them at the second cow's hooves, and goes off to form a military unit. The second cow hides himself in a barn for a few years.

why is this a real thing
Somebody was herding cattle and thought "why can't I do this from a giant robot?" and then a manufacturer actually made a giant robot with a giant cattle prod, and then somebody, probably the same guy, realized military surplus mech weapons are actually kinda cheap and that he has a mech to put them on, and if herding cattle in the mech was fun then hunting with it would be a riot.

it would make as much sense as having a robotic herding dog and then putting dakka on them,
So I made a few changes to some of the characters in the XCOM2 character pool, you can view them here.

Basically during the age of the Star League there were more mech factories than sense, and so there were mechs to do all kinds of shit, riot control, fire fighting, search and rescue, mining, heavy lifting, demolition, general construction tasks, and yes, cattle herding. Of course most of these mechs were eventually drafted and refitted as combat units but for a time they were the latest big thing and there were more of them than was rational.

So uhhhh, some mods got merged and I was cleaning up my mod list to get rid of redundancies and nuked my current save in process.
So hi to mankind's NEW AND IMPROVED saviors.
We're all gonna die.

Shieldbearer armor is not presently colorable. Once that functionality is added I'll probably put either the M90 or Berlin pattern on with black primary and white secondary.
So I know Null did the whole survey thing for his drones, and I know you guys must not want any more stuff like that for a while, but I'm doing an essay on ''cyberbullying'' and I want to know your guys opinions on it.
