Excellent point, Good Sir. :bow:This situation can't last forever, and we merely need to have hope.

I think we should be tolerant of interrupted efforts, even without global pandemics. Especially our own.
Hey @Kereminde , @stjobe and @Timaeus, do any of you have some Death From Above, Mason Garrilac Yojimbo Art available… I know I do not.
… my friend, might I include Priam Lance in my next installment of this thread’s Sol’s Star fanFiction? I promise to provide you Right of First Refusal when it comes to my end of the story (to those other than Kereminde and thus unfamiliar with that term, it has nothing to do with Clan Zelbrigin… well, seeing as how I am a Clan-gamer, I guess my friend @Kereminde, it does have a Clan-implication if not necessarily a form of Clan Challenge…)
I just got an idea… how about we chain write this fanFiction, I’ll stage-set the first of four chapters. I’ll then email you the copy, you pick up from there AND TAKE THE STORY WHEREVER YOU WANT.
And then just like a BATTLETECH Mech Draft tournament (see forum thread on Ragnorak, Tournament of Champions) we pass the script back and forth between us as Sol and Priam… COME TO GRIPS with one another.
Under this format, you Good Sir would have the responsibility to write the last chapter and finish the Big and Stompy Storytelling. Given the unique nature of Sol, as long as his hulk remains… semi-viable, I am happy. :bow:
Well bargained, friend @Kereminde?
I don't think I had any actual DFA art saved anywhere... unfortunate!

The Yojimbo…I don't think I had any actual DFA art saved anywhere... unfortunate!
The first question is, what timeframe is this taking part in? Because currently... Priam Company has a questionable future. I have yet to finish the campaign on tabletop (a number of major reasons RL side but a big one is five letters and two digits disrupting everything) ... and with their operating base still technically on Twycross it's VERY uncertain what happened to them after... oh... June of 3050. I know by that time they technically could have had hardware enough to take on a Galaxy... but no idea of which characters survive to reach that date AND who would walk away. (If you know anything about Twycross and which Clan invades there...)
The second question being, of course, just what is it you were needing a lance out of Priam Company for?
Ah… I had not realized how central the timeline was to your creative process. Then please disregard much of the above message.
As to why it was needed, Sol’s Star is composed of captured Isorla (Mechs and Drivers). At any one time, there may be 3 to 5 of the Star on Active Rolls for their Clan Smoke Jaguar Category-3 Main Battle Line Unit. (Marauder, Sol, pictured below; Catapublt, Griffin and paired Hunchbacks.
I had thought a fight between such forces might be fun and exceptionally good storycrafting. : )
This is a follow-up to the PM I sent a short while ago…Depends on whether I'm allowed to use the current Sagittarius Lance, the Pegasus Lance, or Xiphos Lance. And how to barter up pilot skills.
I had, at some point, built up a mock lineup for the defense of Trellshire Heavy Industries on Twycross during the Invasion. I had not figured in pilot skills, because one of the things which was going to happen was me rolling to see how far skills degraded over time. (Because I wound up way over-rewarding on points.) I expect six people to still be around, and their 'Mechs.
- Olivia Garrido and her WHM-6R Warhammer.
- Kelly Sedda and her WLF-1 Wolfhound.
- Simone de Lagrande and her VLK-QA Valkyrie.
- Casey Whiting and her GRF-1N Griffin.
- Otto Greene and his GLT-4P Guillotine.
- Calvin Schrade and his BLK-7-KNT Black Knight,
I know Olivia is likely to survive because she's slated for some other writer to kill off. Kelly is too stubborn to die, Otto isn't lucky enough to die before the Clans roll in... Simone and Casey deserve one last hurrah, and Calvin just has the name I like the most Of course, this is still around 3050, so later than that and who knows what salvage they might have scored.
But I am pretty sure Priam Company would not survive the FedCom Civil War AND the Jihad.
(... The 'Darkmoon Guard' on the other hand, are all too happy to sit around Coromodir and be paid well to babysit some rumored LosTech DropShip which can't drop. )
And seriously, the two absolute survivors are going to be Olivia and Kelly. I'm sure six months is all it'll take for the Clans to declare them both 'dezgra for life' after Kelly shows off her knife tricks as a Bondsman.
@Kereminde has gone ahead and done the heavy lifting needed to craft the following. As I shared with him already, this breakdown is as professional and as authoritative as any I’ve seen from FASA or even CGL. Thank yo pu @Kereminde! :bow:
