Ancient Wonders

Before there was even a Star League, the technologies taken for granted in the thirty-first century went through their awkward paces in a universe newly opened to humankind. In an age when the BattleMech was nearly unknown, when the DropShip was a new concept, and when tanks and fighters dominated the battle zones, the technology of the day was primitive by modern standards…and each new design with an experiment unto itself.

Experimental Tech Readout: Primitives, Volume 1 samples the early technology designs that dominated the universe of BattleTech during the pre-Star League Age of War period. Each design featured in this book demonstrates the primitive technology level of the first generation of BattleMechs, the last generation of Combat Vehicles (before the ’Mech supplanted them), and the low-tech aerospace units that flew above them. Although many were ultimately upgraded to “modern standards” and shown in Technical Readout: 3075, the units featured here reflect these designs as they were when first introduced to the universe they fought for. Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 13 Primitive BattleMechs, vehicles, aerospace units presented in this book, ready for play in advanced BattleTech games.

время Воссоединительной войны вовсю снабжали лиранские промышленники.

Siberian-troll писал(а):Он считается иначе и не имеет ряда особенностей поздних типов - к примеру возможности растягивать К-Ф поле вокруг пристыкованных судов.

Hobbit писал(а):Учитывая, что примитивов планируется минимум 4 выпуска, то это вполне возможно.

Siberian-troll писал(а):"Аквилы" - вещи в себе, и по их мотивам нельзя построить что-то еще.

Siberian-troll писал(а):Только переоборудовать.
