You have absolutely nothing to regret! The most Lyran possible solution to any challenge is to completely ignore the cost of munitions and logistics, and then throw as much ordinance and tonnage down range until everyone gives up and goes away. (Why is YooToob eating my responses lately!?)

Mechs that look like they’re built to be shot, instead of just shoot. The square body trucks of the mech world.

I love how in Battletech they use mech designs that are 700+ years old, and even some of those original mechs still functional even, and they’re still viable on the battlefield. That’d be like if we still used trebuchets and catapults today (no pun intended). Its not a criticism of the universe, but a fascinating aspect of its world building.

You forgot to mention Rhonda Snord's dad Cranston. A great plant from wolfs dragoons who claimed to be just looking for historical artifacts while acting as spies and looking for lostech and, like Jaime Wolfe was doing on a larger scale but with less subtle methods. Besides, Rhonda was hot as a kid and anybody who thought Natasha Kerensky was the hottest mechwarrior in the inner sphere really needs a lesson in what 13 yr old boys want. For those unfamiliar the book is called Cranston Snord's Irregulars and it was one of the earliest narrative campaign supplement battletech books after the release of Mechwarrior (the RPG, it used to not be a video game) but what do I know I am a grognard?

This may not come as a surprise to anyone that knows my material, but I absolutely love Snords Irregulars and the entire premise (on the cover of it, naturally) "We will do what we are paid to, but we will do it our own way and steal all the shinies on the way out." I made a joke about Ketchup being out of stock in the Inner Sphere because of Snords Irregulars and the only reaction from literally anyone that heard the joke was "Yeah. That sounds about right."

Do a bit about it. Not Rhonda but Cranston! The changeover from mercenary looters to clan spies was a nice save by the last days of FASA and the beginning of the end for a lot of players. I think it is significant because, only a mercenary COMPANY reflected an entire shift in the story-line.

So, I will say that the Archer, Catapult, Trebuchet, and the Longbow all fill distinct niches withing the long range fire support roles. The Archer is the brawler of the bunch, the most suited to front line combat or just behind the front line. The Catapult is much more maneuverable with its jump jets, and is particularly suited for strike and fade or urban combat. The Trebuchet has the most dynamic niche of the bunch. Its speed allows it to keep up with lighter elements for hit and run strikes with enough medium lasers to be dangerous at that weight range. Fire support for commando raids. The Longbow is better suited for sustained combat with its heavy armor and banks of heat sinks. This is the mech you want for attrition combat where its slow speed isn't an issue and you just need sustained firepower at long range.

Thank you for elaborating on this! I will admit that would have been a very hard explanation to fit into a video and keep it under 15 minutes. I really want to keep this all sort of brief and still be fairly informative. The next script is looking to be about 16 minutes but I kind of have to touch on the Skye March... which is ... one of those places we seldom talk about and you absolutely lock your doors in case of another uprising. (Sometimes with two for one specials) I am a big advocate of mechs for the jobs they fit well in. And some mechs fit well in a specific niche entirely on accident. And as much as I make fun of one of my friends, a generalist mech or two in a lance is still very important. All of that being said, I do hope that you enjoyed the video, my dear friends in Task Force Melted Crayon helped make this what it is. It was absolutely a team lift.

The thing I always found weird about the archer is that almost every variant wants to upgrade it's (limited, but) generally alright brawling capabilities, while still retaining at minimum 2 lrm15s. I personally am of the opinion that, if you want to make an LRM boat brawl, you swap out almost if not all the LRMs for SRMs. Then again I also like to do things like trying to cram an AC20 in a champion or a Heavy Gauss Rifle into the Hunchback's Hunch, so take my opinion for whatever you think it is based on these descriptors.
@madducks3867
@madducks3867 2 ай бұрын
Oh no, I absolutely agree with you! On one hand, LRMs are great for "you there, get off my lawn" and fists are for "Okay, you were warned." However, being a Lyran ... I mean c'mon we put SRMs on everything. Given half the chance we'd put SRMs on a waffle house. The Commando (My favorite light me, because it's adorably Lyran) is known for getting being bigger mechs and giving them an SRM enema. ...SRENEMA? ... no that's ... actually funny, but not the point. Also I believe that you can fit an AC/20 on a Locust. But firing it while on wet pavement would probably move you backwards a hex or two.

I absolutely love the Archer. When you're fire support, it's not your job to go out and rack up kills, it's your job to keep your teammates alive. When someone gets bogged down you're lobbing copious amounts of LRMs over their shoulder, when you hear aerospace or tanks coming in, your job it so switch immediately to softening them up pronto because an ignored tank hurts a LOT. And when you combine the Archer with ludicrous amounts of ammo? Well I'm either going to use it all, or when I die you'll see it for MILES.

@robrib2682 so I had an idea for an all Awesome lance. Nothing but Awesomes. One of the LRM variants for fire support, an 8Q, etc. And I figure I could call the lance "the Slow Roll"

Daggone man, love me an Archer. Like to kit one out with all the SRMs and close to fisticuff range. Need to order me one of them bats.

It sounds to me like you like to pilot your mech with reckless abandon. And I obviously approve! I'll have your bat painted with a giant "Bonk!" in the style of the old Batman TV show.

I subscribed becuase the video is awesome, but I am confused, it appears to be the only worthwhile video on the channel.... Are you going to make more of these full length videos?

We are working on Mad Rambles part two: The firestarter right now, as it happens. We have all the art in and are starting work. These things take time, and since we don't have any sort of funding, it's a passion project. We should be finishing up on the next part soon. I even have a Firestarter playing flaming bagpipes. (I saw the Badpiper and ... well, this is me we're talking about.)

Love the Archer, but it still isn't a Dervish my favorite pocket support mech.

So real talk, my favorite thing about the quirky little dervish is the art from the old Starter box that I bought way back in the 90s (which was totally not that long ago) and the fact that no matter how you cut it, the Dervish looks 100.00% like an old G.I.Joe villian. i.imgur.com/Y4M1ZJA.jpg And once you notice it you can never unsee it.
