The sheer amount of nerd rage in the comments is absolutely glorious.

I believe you got the Lore wrong. 1. Mankind came from Kobol 2. Mankind left Kobol and formed the 13 colonies 3. In the 12 Colonies man created the Cylons 4. Cylons rebelled against mankind 5. During that War was when they Cylons created the 1st Biological 'Hybrids" 6. When they had completed their work on the Hybrids they signed the Armistice ending the war, and took off with their new Biological Technologies 7. During their absence is when they perfected their Biologicals 8. The 13th colony were humans from Kobol who found and settled earth, which was later found by the survivors of the 12 Colonies in a Post Apocalyptic dead world state. That's my understanding of the Universe of BSG.

hmm that drives name did not age well

"comstar, they know everything about you" and than you try show it, instead of saying, they are google, with a bit more corpo bs than google, not much more, but a bit.

House 0001

Hmm, Deathstar ripoff... Sorry I not seeing I am NOT seeing that, Especially considering BSG is older the Star Wars

Lol i snorted at ' what are they even doing, providing moral support? ' I can just see it.. they clap, they cheer, they do a funky 70's disco dance, they are the cheerleaders - tin can tin can you're the man, if you can't do it, no-one can. I generated an image for this, exactly what I was thinking of.

Can we take about 67% off, here? In 30 years I’ve never heard anyone say “smoked”. CSJ rocks.

No bad venom geek. The mosquito was actually a BRILLIANT plane. Basically the idea was to be a super fast low armor plane. And it's bomber version was SO effective the germans assigned a large group of luftwaffe pilots to hunt them. But they couldn't catch them due to the speed of the thing. They performed some pretty important bombing raids and were highly successful. Who needs armor when you can just fly faster?!

it clearly use speed as armor, so more speed is more armor, that 300+ supercar with a laser is near impossible to target even for computers, let alone humans. when the lrm carrier dumps on him in hope of hitting it, it just starts to run under the shade of the rockets and destroy the carrier with a point blank shot before the missiles land on its original position.

Favorite mech, largely for MWO giving it some shine. Early MWO didn't always give you more missile tubes when you loaded a larger launcher, So I'd put an LRM 10 right next to the TAG. It fired them one at a time in a long tail that wasn't great. Unless your purpose was to be annoying as hell or eat all their AMS ammo.

I never had any luck with the NARC system,so I removed it and it's ammo and stuck in a Large Laser and 11(22) h/s.

The worst? They literally only lost on Luthien, Wolcott, and Tukayyid out of 40 WORLDS! The "worst" clan was Mongoose, Steel Viper, and/or Ice Hellion. Then, again this isn't exactly BPL-level of editing/research.

Yep,'80's action hero.

Say the word ATLAS to an Inner Sphere MechWarrior and he/she shudders, remembering their encounters with it. Say it again, they’ll tell you just how lucky they were to survive…

10:14 Why did you say Capellan twice?

The raven is my favorite light mech, I started with battle tech playing Mech Commander 2, and once I got one in that game, it stayed with me all the way to the end. It was broken in that game when you had a proper light mech pilot in it. Nothing could hit it. I love the new look, but pretty much all my favorite mechs sport chicken legs and look like space ships. (Raven, Raptor II, Timber Wolf, Maruder II by weight class)

haha

"Hey Smoke Jaguar! Your mum is a hamster and your dad smells of elderberries!" -Frederich Steiner

"And to my bride to be, I offer... THE CAPELLAN CONFEDERATION!" -Hanse "Good Guy" Davion

I will hold my hands up and say the og is probably 60% bad but some of the good is really good. I will say as the series goes though the better bits take place outside of the vipers and space Action. The episode where Apolo gets shout down and it's basically a western is a very good episode. Also I think the episode The Young Warriors is very comic and one of my favourites

The 3L With 2 ERlarge was a good build tho

"Major Marks, please make that ship go away."

You paint the Clans in a very negative way xD they are not stupid, FAR from it. And they do are honorable. Also, Clan Wolf was fighting the weakest of the nations in their corridor, so of course they conquered more worlds.

The Raven is my favorite light mech. Not because I like or even respect light mechs in any conceivable way, I don't. But in HBS Battletech, I can get the steal the Raven and not give it back to the Capellans.

Please leave the Capellans as they are .....they still make for good contracts from the other houses. Easy money for us mercs.

yeah I love the PGI design, it reminds me of a stealth attack helicopter.

I gotta say Raven is one of my all time favourites. I got a soft spot for the chicken walkers: Raven, Catapult, Stalker, etc, and they seem so rare in inner sphere designs.

Yeah, but Pegasus looked COOL as F***!😊

I don't particularly see the function difference between "bubble" and "deflector" besides technobabble. Also see Starsector for cool shields

The Capellan WILL get their day in the sun.... the federated variety to be precise.

You don't fill the boarding pods with people you fill it with explosives.

Can't wait for 50k sub.

Slow 35 tonners are my favorite genre of light mech.

Got a job for you, 621. Oh wait. Wrong universe.

Came to hear the trashing of my favorite, worst mech. Stayed for the trashing of the punching bag that is the Capellans 😂

Once I learned how to use a Raven, I made it the only mech I used on the table and had them li ked to a couple of batteries of Long Tom super heavy artillery units

I will say in games if i get an Annihilator I always swap out the 200 engine for a 300+ engine with supercharger. I am willing to drip one Lbx10

For sci!

Still remember getting swarmed with theses and A5 chargers in mw5 mercs and apparently they gave some to the FRR wheh it was founded

The Narc launcher joke took me a second 😆

Eeeeee, my favorite light mech. The idea of being a little gremlin turning the battle into an asymmetrical information war is great.

I love raven meme builds. My 2 favs so far are the mrm 40 (I forget the chassis model, I think 3L but that doesn't sound right), and the 2x lb10 huginn. Because why not.

Bit late to the view/party, apologies, here we go: Yes, our guy! Gw came up with some really stupid names for their factions(what was wrong with storm troopers(tempestus scions sucks), imperial guard(mind you, I prefer the predecessor name of imperial army, they should have kept it) etc etc?) Chad is western cringe, now "car"(tsar, emperor) is the original version and thus god-emperor term that should be used instead. Iirc, krieg and possibly cadians are the only ones allowed to form combined-arms forces/formations. Speaking of Catachan, they used to have a special rule in 3rd or 4th edition codex called "oops! Sorry sir", which limits the number of commisars to 3 max(due to commisars being outsiders almost universally, only cadians get to have them from home planet). Commisars, they do what I would dub (patent pending)"slav step for curing nonsense number 3, power lvl2(of 2) - execute"(step 1 is "slavic educational slap"(4 power levels), step 2 is "slav riot police (beat like a) drumming"(also 4 power levels)). Cain, aaaaah, now that was a fun series, he's a self-admitted coward(privately ofc, he'd get "blam!"ed if someone found out). Ibram Gaunt is also one of those "encourage with sense rather than blast" commisars. Skipping ogryns...ratlings, come on, they're midgets, they're shifty, always hungry(supposedly they'd need to eat twice as much as a typical guardsman), they're the usual butt of the joke, at least until someone needs something from black market or saving from some enemy at long range. Felinids, while most imagine anime style cat girls, that's not the case(although that doesn't stop artists making it actually work). Beastmen, about that, on imperium's side there's not any(excluding necromunda bounty hunter gor half-horn), on the chaos side there's tzaangors(in lore and tabletop). Lastly, the uplifting primer, found an example to read - to quote from movie dusk till dawn 3 "biggest collection of lies and deceit I've ever read"(while movie said so about the bible, it's applicable to the primer too, at least on the depiction/propaganda of xenos in it). Til next time, and, ah, try not to "rile"(roast) poor steve too much. Edit to add: choppa, not stabba, only runtherds use the stabba iirc. 15 hours, iirc, was the average lifespan of typical guardsman(a novel of same name follow a raw recruit from an agri world, guy goes thru one hell of a hell). There are all-female regiments, bcs "mixed regiments" supposedly bad, even in-universe. That did not stop Cain, Gaunt, and to extent Flynt(novel "commisar") from leading mixed regiments, mostly smoothly even.

13:16 That's a nice paint scheme.

Mechwarrior Online? Oh my sweet summer child.

8:50 Hey I know that Raven! That’s the one from the Mechassault fan game Wolves!

I live, and there for you shall suffer.

You say the Cataphract is a desperate trash heap like it isn’t a point in its favor. Like the Urbie, it’s a trash CAN not the trash CAN’T.

@science insanity Wagner had fix wing division. Couple Wagner pilots died on Ukraine. Mostly CAS role,
