Cheaper on Wingamestore if you're using euros, but just a tiny bit.

I need to come up with a new avatar... Hydralisks are all good but i need a change and it isn't Christmas anymore either...

I think you can edit pre-game and customize the entire pool of pilots, but you can't necessarily ensure which ones show up. And you can't change their callsign based on something that happens to them, e.g., unless there's a way to edit saves? Also, the 3-D character portrait creator in this is pretty powerful, and I'd like to be able to use it for all my pilots.
It's 29.19€ on voidu.com and the "BTVOIDU" code brings it to 25.98€.

One of the devs, Eck, had a debug panel up that made all the units move instantly at one point on his stream. But he turned it off for MP because of potential instability.
I'm pretty sure it'll be on their list to add in a patch.

I used one of the digital deluxe wallpapers. Unfortunately i couldn't edit the one with Shadow Hawk to reasonable size and shape. But whatever, the Catapult is one of my favorites.
Just too bad there was no art for the JagerMech :/
Maybe in the art book...
OP

Huh, i just realized, the soundtrack is damn nice. Listening to it while waiting. It is nicely moody, and not too epic as to be distracting, if that makes sense.
And the artbooks is great, i hope it gets a (abridged) physical release someday.

Forgive the ignorance but as someone who is interested in the game but moreso just observing streams so far, it doesn't seem like they included very many classic mech designs. No Cougar, Mad Cat, Uziel, Vulture, Thor, etc. Is this deliberate due to game timeline/events or licensing issues?
OP
OP
The game is set in 3025. The 'Mechs you mention are either yet to be developed (Cougar [about 3058], Uziel [about 3060]), or available only to the Clans, far beyond even the Deep Periphery, unknown to the Inner Sphere until 25 years later.
Ironically, Battletech veterans could note that this game actually contains classic 'Mechs as opposed to newer designs :D
As it's been mentionned, Omnitech/Clans mech are not in yet because timeline wise we are 25 years prior to the invasion.
Nice, I can wait. I think every turn based game should have fast forward option.
OP
OP
I see, it would interesting to see if they had plans for future storytelling in those later eras either via expansion add-ons or a sequel. I rather like the designs of later mechs, but so far the game looks very cool as is.
For you! I won't be able to play for at least another 8 hours.
OP
OP
I speculated earlier that if the game is successful, DLC for Fourth Succession War (or perhaps the War of '39) could happen, and sequels could easily be about the Clan Invasion or later, given that MWO has so many 'Mech models. But it all depends on success.

Anyone else see their steam unlock date jump to 1 Day and 10 hours from right now? Restarting steam fixed it, but for second there my brain cut off, lol.
Restart the Steam.
-----------------
Devs changed it. Now when you get new mech from mech part it doesn't come fully specced out.
As a Harebrained and Shadowrun fan, I really envy you all. I could never get into Battletech because it's way too complex for me, but for true Battletech fans, this game looks like a dream come true. Enjoy the hell out of it, guys!

Argh, download's gonna take another 20 minutes, then installing proper or however GoG galaxy does it.
Should've taken 100Mbit connection for a month...
Also, looks like GoG Galaxy downloads and installer is eating all my CPU, VLC player keeps cutting out occasionally.
This game is simpler than the boardgame.
And BattleTech does have simpler form of rules nowadays, called Alpha Strike, you might want to take a look at it.

Steam decrypting the files always takes forever for me from preloads, I downloaded the game in 5 minutes but 30 minutes to decrypt/unpack. :(
