Oh man, better play conservatively or else you end up with;
"Seafoam-green Menace"
"Coral Menace"
"Teabag Menace"

You run into staffing issues then... :p

I personally find "Teabag Menace" a bit threatening and see foreshadowing of war crimes under the Ares Convention.

Just sayin'...

All joking aside about the "Dendarii Free Mercenaries", I'll stay well away from someone else's copyrighted material no matter how crazy their CO is.

So: "Priam Company" in an alternate reality where none of the principals in the stories exist (thanks to not being able to custom them) but I'll still get the same feel I'm sure. If I can play it out on my computer, and if I feel like entertaining a community again . . . expect a "Let's Play" of sorts.

I am still working on the back story of my Character. I am at a point that he was in the Lyran Forces, but he and some others were not pleased with the long-term implications of the FedCom Accords of 3022 and left the Commonwealth in 3024, when rumors about that Hanse-Melissa thing started.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing quite like selling off your teenage heiress (and your realm) to a creeper in his mid 40s.

Because of the avatar I often use (see below), I want to draw a logo that's basically a 20-sided die with mech arms and legs. I want to come up with some kind of reference to dice, randomness, chance, or similar in the name. Currently my leading candidate is Death's Improbable Company Envoy. Which would definitely need a skull on the front die face of the logo.

I do kinda feel like I ought to be able to come up with something I like more, though. (I like "Inescapable" as a substitution, but then you don't have any reference to chance except in the acronym.)

The one I've used off and on for the better part of a decade is Forbes Mobile Legion.......or FML due to my lack of making stagger checks on the Table Top game. Need a 3 to stay standing.....FML there's the snake eyes.

I know I will be taking extensive notes of my play-through(s), it adds a little something to actually sit down and write an after-action report after a battle. Whether or not I'll subject anyone else to my incoherent ramblings is a whole other discussion which I'm not prepared to enter into just yet :)

Daybreakers. Or perhaps that will be my commanders callsign, and I'll go with Dawn Patrol.

My username on these boards is pronounced more or less like Day, and Ive mentally written my battletech character backstory as a minor Isle of Skye noble named Conn O'Dea.

I'm considering an AAR, depending on release date. I need a new writing outlet, and this game coming out has revived my younger self interest in the setting.
