I guess all we need now is an Epstein drive …
- hef19898 3y agoOnly as a steping stone to Hoersch-Kessel ion engines. For FTL, I propose Kearny-Fuchida jump drives. Honestly, I just wanted to nerd out.
- giantrobot 3y agoI understood every word of that. We can be friends.

- hef19898 3y agoAccepted! Funny, how easy it can be to retain those totally unimportant facts, isn't it? I credit my English to a huge extend to stuff like that, after almost all those books came in English.
- louissan 3y agowasn't there a quote in the soft cover Mechwarrior RPG saying something along the lines of "whatever happened to the Universe while Einstein wasn't looking?"
- hef19898 3y agoI'd have to take a look at my library to verify! I love the Kearny-Fuchida backstory so, they were basically ridiculed crack heads, until decades after their death people jumped to New Earth (?) on the THS Pathfinder (?).
- giantrobot 3y agoI don't see that quote on the cover of either 1st or 2nd edition of MechWarrior unfortunately. It does sound like something that would have been on some BT book however.
- louissan 3y agosorry I did not mean "on" the cover. I meant in "the soft cover Mechwarrior RPG" book, in some one of the pages inside. :)
- giantrobot 3y agoI might remember more made up history of settings like BattleTech and Star Wars than I do actual real world history. I think I retain facts better the closer in proximity they are to lasers.
- sc68cal 3y agoah, another Battletech aficionado on the site
- hef19898 3y agoI just hope there are plenty more!
- shagie 3y agoGiven the funding of the BattleTech: Mercenaries kickstarter, I think that's a fairly safe assumption. (It's also really impressive consider the age of the game... I wonder if my Ral Partha miniatures are still around somewhere).
- hef19898 3y agoMine are, they get expensive on eBay so... The last Battletech game is propably one of thebgakes I played the most, according to Steam statistics!
