Capellan Confederation WarShips: 2
Draconis Combine WarShips: 2
Federated Suns WarShips: 1
Free Worlds League WarShips: 3
Lyran Commonwealth WarShips: 1
Republic of the Sphere WarShips: 4
Periphery State WarShips: 1 (CP)
Mercenary WarShips: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Clan WarShips: 3 (CHH), 6 (CJF), 5 (WE), 2 (RD), 17 (RA), 30* (CSF)

*Clan Sea Foxes' WarShip fleet actually has only 15 combat vessels; the rest are Merchant Carracks, and some of their ships are of dubious battle quality, considering they also double as flying colonies.

So, if you thought me stupid about the WarShip reserves of the various factions, you were horribly mistaken.

At this time, Catalyst Game Labs regrets to announce that, starting immediately, all future Live BattleChats have been suspended, indefinitely.

We, honestly, have never promised to reveal any of the mysteries in this setting, especially none of those about the Wolverines or the Ghosts. Some mysteries, after all, seem far more interesting to players without a resolution.

Before you complain about that response, consider the following scenarios:

1.) We reveal that the Wolverines were always a red herring, that someone at IE found conclusive evidence that they never survived in their exile, and that the Minnesota Tribe that raided its way through the Inner Sphere was the last gasp of a group that died on a barren wasteland in the Inner Sphere. You now know that everything Chandy suggested about them was a lie, that the Blood never existed, that there was no connection with the Word of Blake, that the Clans were duped, and that none of the fantasies players have developed since, oh, at least 1990, will ever come to fruition. Everything you "know" about them to date is wrong and it's all a dead end. How do you feel about that?

2.) The Green Ghosts are just pirates, many not even affiliated with each other, who may have contacts in IE. All the "how did they know we were there?" IE does is readily explained as a mole in the organization, likely hitting IE digs for personal profit. There is no vast conspiracy at all. There is no grand reason or design behind anything they do. They're nothing special at all. How do you feel about that?

3.) Urm. I'd use for examples, but we're kind of running out of decent mysteries now. how do you feel about that?

Thanks,

FES писал(а):например?

Ну, скажем так, есть много вопросов на эту тему, где нормальной логикой не пахнет. Если Херб привел какие то резоны, то это сняло бы напряг по теме.

But, if truth be told, the fan base seems to be a dedicated core
right now, and it's one that's not really growing so much as we'd like.

<Habeas2>: BrokenMnemonic - Core rules and TROs tend to be our strongest sellers. We also see some solid
interest in the Historicals and Era Reports as well.

To be blunt, the computer games do not often
translate to tabletop players. If they did, I would probably be doing this chat from a brand new,
platinum-clad laptop, rather than this years-old Gateway...

This year, though, CGL is mainly focusing on Shadowrun and
the Duke...from my PoV. BattleTech and Leviathans are somewhere below that. Other games are likely below
that.
