The possibility of doing so is there but what a lot of people don't think about, or just don't plain want to deal with, is the canon/timeline truism of it being. I'd love to see a mod take on the original 3025 canon, but I suspect it might be too complicated for a mod.
In that light, BATTLETECH is true to the current 3025 canon (even if the current state is a tad over the top even for current canon - but the HM flashpoint mini-campaign does try to give an explanation for that). Over the years, many small retcons has meant that even in 3025, 'Mechs are almost a dime a dozen, 'Mech production techniques were never completely lost, and 'Mech production has been upped considerably. Personally, I'd love to see what you describe as I am still in love with that original 3025 setting where 'Mechs were irreplaceable centuries-old cobbled-together family heirlooms, but alas that's not the current 3025 canon. However, as the game developed, with more and more tech introduced, the setting was also retconned into a less "harsh" 3025.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles ~ Sun Tzu What does everyone else think? Is there a mod that makes the game more true to the timeline? To match the timeline, Mechs should probably start with 5 to 10 negative modifiers to account for the degraded maintenance over time - this would also lend some weight to why the Wolf Dragoons pristine mechs are so stunning.Įarly in the game, if you tried to do something like, say, swap an ac/10 on a centurion with an ac/20 you should get a lecture from Yang: “do you know how to rebalance a gyro that has been rebuilt 5 times, once from agromech parts, to account for the change in mass on the arm? Do you have the precision tools needed to adjust the ammo feed so it doesn’t jam, or worse, explode when you try to fire it? Where are we going to get a cable to interface with the fire control computer to actually let the trigger fire the ac/20? Where are you going to get the arm actuator that can handle the extra weight, and then integrate it with the rest of the Mech? “Īs the game progresses and you upgrade the Argo, you could relax the negatives and allow some upgrades to mechs, but timeline wise, even fully upgraded, the Argo still probably shouldn’t allow full refits to mechs - that would be much better for 3050 Omni mechs. The technology to make them is gone, and the parts to even maintain them are likely gone. While in have thoroughly enjoyed the game, with each update, though, doesn’t it feels less and less like 3025?Īt this point in the timeline, many mechs have been under continuous maintenance for over 250 years. Picked up battletech shortly after it came out and loved it enough to play the campaign 3 times and buy the season pass.
