Favorite Threads from BATTLETECH's "Ask the Devs"

[Prussian Havoc]

Our original forum will remain up until shortly before Launch. :bow:

My absolute favorite section of our old forum was the "Ask the Devs" Section. To me NOTHING better epitomizes the Game Development uniqueness of how HBS trusts, supports and interacts with its gamers than our time "Asking the Devs."

As I understand it, HBS will not be able to move our Ask the Devs Section over to our new home, here at Paradox. So I would like for us as a community to pick and choose our favorite Ask the Devs threads, post, discuss and record it all here for posterity.

Here is the first Ask the Devs Thread I would like to offer up for the record:

Great thread idea!

I'm putting in this one because I think it's the single most important element for enhancing the replayability of the game.

No matter how good the tactical game, the mission design and the strategy layers are individually, we'll eventually get tired of them as a system if there isn't proper connective tissue meshing them into a rich whole.

Beautiful execution on this sort of system - especially if a little mini map-node system is created - would have incredible value for creating interesting decisions and emergent narratives, IMO. Recon lances could also be made to shine.

I think just having missions with parts to the battle where you have to complete each part in order will be a great surprise to a lot of people.
