Sweet!
I can hardly wait. : )
Will we again have a visit from Team HBS?
I hope so. :bow:

Mitch and Kiva certainly indicated that there were going to be a part of it last week.
oh no I will be late for this one....have to work till it begins (I hate late afternoon sessions)
Hmm, it's going to be a bit tricky for me, as that's about the time that I'll have to leave to go to work, but... Yeah, I think I can rearrange things a bit, no way am I missing this! 
Yup. Smart move letting Anders play while you were taking questions, it really made the whole thing a lot ... meatier.
Good job all around!
Excellent point! Definitely keep doing that!
Also make Kiva do a "special" voice for Sumire
lol
I was taking some notes during the stream...
The Flashpoints that have been written ALWAYS contain at least one "Decision Branch" ie Gamebook style (Gamebooks are sometimes called choose your own adventure books or CYOA).
Flashpoints can contain more than one branch in design although it wasn't clear to me that any of the ones that are written do. ( @EmptyPepsiCan this point is for you)
Flashpoints become available at the end of the Restoration Campaign or in Career mode.
The Cyclops Battle Computers feature (buff) is still not fixed. They are still messing with it.
The Battle Computer and Hatchet are "fixed" special equipment. They unique to the Cyclops and Hatchetman. They can not be found in Stores, removed, moved, etc. If they are destroyed in battle then repairing the location will cause them to be fixed.
Artillery cannot be used by Players.
Fun points not Flashpoint related
Mitch: the answer to any "have we considered" question is "Yes" ( I lol'd )
@Captain kerebos is the Map god
The Argos has an infinite cargo bay because Kiva didn't want to have to think about Inventory ( I lol'd again )
Kiva is more interested in Game Play then the EconSim ( I lol'd a third time )
The Feature or I guess "white paper" for infantry is already written but they are still kicking it around and don't have the resources to address it yet.
No plans for Aircraft.

Kevin Maloney is the person responsible for the Panzyr mission that requires the crazy run to catch the APC.

It took me a bit to find the video of this on Twitch because it is part of a 4 hour block with a Surviving Mars preview picture. I'm watching it now.
Thanks for the notes, I lol'ed when she said (paraphrased) "When you build a Dragon, you then sell it".
Great stream, thank you HBS and Paradox!
Now go set up the page/price with the stores so we can pre-order it!
Second that: Full voice over of Sumire from Kiva ^^Also make Kiva do a "special" voice for Sumire
Good to know. I missed part of it live.It took me a bit to find the video of this on Twitch because it is part of a 4 hour block with a Surviving Mars preview picture. I'm watching it now.

I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say: The hatchet was used. It was glorious.
Even better... Mitch pointed out that the FX team had made it even more glorious but that wasn't in the version they demo'd on Twitch!I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say: The hatchet was used. It was glorious.
Don't know if it's ok to link to twitch here, mods - please delete if not.
For anyone who's interested, the video is up on twitch, Battletech starts around the 3:12 mark.

I very much and litterly jumped for joy when it wa mentioned that Connor (aka HBS_CaptKerberos) was working on a Multiplayer Arena Map so large that it took up the entire map’able area. : )
(MAJOR CAVEATS: of course, just because it was being worked on, does not mean it will be shipped with Update 1.3 and just because it is so large currently, does not mean it might not be somewhat more compact if / whenever it is released.)
