Bummer about school and not being inspired. Just as a heads up, I'm getting ready to post up some pics of the mechs, I built out of legos. Those should be up in a day or two.

Also I just saw where they're finally making a new Mechwarrior game.

And finally, I actually just started playing the online game called Techwarrior, that's basicaly like Mechwarrior.

Saw your 'Mechs just now, and they look pretty nice. I think you should experiment further! I'm working on one myself right now, but the darn thing's giving me trouble. I saw the news about MechWarrior too, but since I haven't read any of the recent BattleTech novels, I have no idea where the story is going right now. The last events I read about were the Battle of Tukayyid and the following Great Refusal War. Both are probably ancient history by now... All I know about recent events is that Clan Wolf has been resurrected (YAY!), but as a Crusader Clan, and something about a Comstar Jihad. Right now I'm just itching to reinvade the Inner Sphere and get to Terra, with the Wolves at the forefront. Maybe when the Clans reestablish the Star League from Terra and rescue the Inner Sphere from those inept Successor Houses, not to mention those Comstar fanatics, we can finally have some real peace in the galaxy. But would that mean the end of the story? Oh well, it'd certainly be a happy one for me!

And never forget that help may come
From the most unlikely of quarters
And success rest upon the shoulders
Of those kept shadowed until the time of need.

-- The Remembrance (Clan Wolf), Passage 222, Verse 6, Lines 11-14

Hehe, I may try another one, but I'd need some more parts first. As for it being the end of the story, I don't think so. It may be the end of that series, but there's always got to be more going on there, and what happenes after that too.
