Indeed, Draconis Combine was Japanese, Capellan was Chinese, Steiner was German as far as I can remember.

Best is Free Rasalhague Republic: a mish-mash of Kurita Japanese and Swedish. I can't imagine how that would sound.And Marik was Yugoslavian :>Indeed, Draconis Combine was Japanese, Capellan was Chinese, Steiner was German as far as I can remember.
so did anyone get closed beta invite yet?
Omni's aren't shit, you can configure them like you want tbh.Every TRO has shit in it. 3085 has the goddamn Targe, which goes between model A which hits like a crippled little girl and model B which has a not insignificant chance of exploding itself when popping MASC. Prototypes has the Po HV which has a 1/36 chance of exploding if it fires its main gun... Not all 'mechs get to be winners. However, 3055 and 3058 do have some iconic awesome mechs.b) much of the 3055 and 3058 kit is fairly shit too, Striker, Grim Reaper, Grand Titan and Hollander to name a few obvious ones competing for the "shittiest mech ever" award. c) many of those are rehashes on a essentially bad setup, the Atlas suffers from that badly only the AS8-D and AS7-S2 are really upgrades in the traditional sense, everything after the AS-7K are just flavor modifications that does nothing to address how woefully lacking the mech itself is.
other "upgrades" turn into downgrades, such as the Awesome, the Zeus is one of the few mechs that actually came out of the 3050 TRO while being competitive with later mechs, dropping the terrible AC/5 for a ERPPC.
3055:Hitman, Komodo, Snake, Huron Warrior, WRAITH, Gallowglas, FALCONER, Penetrator, Naginata at a minimum
3058: Raptor, Black Hawk - KU, Firestarter-O, Blackjack-O, Avatar, Sunder, Dragon Fire, Devastator, Talon, Starslayer, Lynx, Emperor, Pillager, Nightstar, Thunder Hawk
Also, for every mech like the Atlas that gets crap upgrade packages, you things like the excellent marauder -5R and the unholy monster that is the P.Hawk -7K.
Also, lol at people with caps in their names
the stock configurations make baby jeebus cry though, also i like the Penetrator, Lasers everywhere!

Rasalhauge Republic is scandinavians mixed with japanese, Draconis Combine is Japanese mixed with Arabic, Lyran Commonwealth/Alliance is German/eastern europe heavy, Federated Suns is Western european/american, Capllans are Chinese/Russian and Free Worlds League is a very mixed bag, this is in no way definitive, you will find planets with populations of primarily chinese origin deep inside Lyran space.

so you're a big black dude in toad armor, congratulations.
and please dont forget to kill yourself when 3058 rolls around.
the majority language is still Swedish within the republic, with the other nordic languages trailing Japanese (mostly coming from "resettlement projects", as in let's wipe out that town and put some proper japs in!). the "Swedenese" language developed out of necessity more or less and is not really the primary language for any of the population groups within the republic.Best is Free Rasalhague Republic: a mish-mash of Kurita Japanese and Swedish.

the Rasalhauge area has been waging a near constant war of secession since it was "absorbed" in the 24th century and up until it became a buffer state during the Ronin Wars period.
If I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you.....
But no, no invites yetConsidering how you can manually alter your system specs on the beta profile if people that were picked have a certain set-up could just fake yours to get the invite though I suppose.
Wow, never expected to see the Cataphract ingame. SO happy, i love this mech
mmm delicious autocannons
Just about everyone who's anyone can speak English, though. Isn't that the default of ComStar, too?
@ Liare
I was stating the mechs I found awesome in 3055 and 3058. I too love the Penetrator's laser disco show :P
Woo! More awesome cappellan mechs!
Katarakt?

Have to admit though, it looks really nice. The mech that is. Also armnament of UAC 5, LBX 10 and 4 medium lasers doesn't sound half bad either. Ooh and jumpjets ofcourse.

That's the davion upgrade, sarna just shows it first since it was the first in a TRO. Liao upgrade has ERPPC, lb-10x, quad medium pulse, and MASC.
The original is a beast with AC/10, PPC, and quad medium lasers and plenty of heat sinks to run and gun. Downside is less than stellar armor and a small clip for the autocannon. History of the mech was that it was a heavy built from parts the cappellans were already making, but soon after production started the crappies got roflstomped by the davions and lost the factory.
So is it confirmed that their updates will coincide with canon?
Never was big on the lore of Battletech but that would be a nice touch.
Davion Engineer #1: "So there's this mech right that's being designed built on that Tikonov world we just captured, the AFFC asked us how we can make it better"
Davion Engineer #2: "Yeees, It's got a PPC and a...."
Davion Engineer #1 "No, Wrong, autocannons, it must have autocannons"
Davion Engineer #2 "Yeah but it already has...."
Davion Engineer #1 "Then it must have MORE autocannons, autocannons autocannons, I love autocannons".
This is the story of the Davion Cataphract.
Registered.
Coming soon(tm).
<3 Entrox.
OK So I have only just realized you have to turn beta registration ON because it was off by default on my account.. Hoping my awesome gaming rig stats will push me over the edge in to 'gif beta naow'
< Jolin> you're prety too LanaTorrin
Clearly mafia.
if it does can you C&P it for us so we can pretend and have beta too?
fyp
Never was big on lasers. Gauss and PPC or clustered LBX10 all the way.
Or 2xArrow IV
two words: Rotary Autocannonsfyp

In other news, I want a Hammerhands, Is there a full list of available mechs yet or do we have to guess based on what's available in 3049/ what they've already told us?
