People have zero fucking clue how long games take to make. They think a game that is in development five years must be in development trouble and have no sense of how complicated development has gotten.

You're some poor sod stuck on patrol, smelling your own farts in a beat up wolverine. Your scouts let you know a hostile force is inbound and you pray it's not a Stalker or Atlas in the mix.
Then something so much worse comes over the ridge.

Merc companies are an easy explanation: just a bunch of knuckleheads trying to get by while the dorks in livery wank themselves dry over the idea of being king fuckboy.
But I can't imagine the horror felt by the poor soul who first saw a clan mech crest a hill.

I have misgivings about the balance of the game after the clan invasion begins, but there are two really compelling narrative lines spun through a setting that hinges on almost uniform and broadly boring neofeudalism that never meaningfully shifts:
- mercenary companies
- the horror of something new

For reference, I have just over 100,000,000 in the bank still and my operating costs are about 15mil per month. I haven't calculated reputation but I imagine "HEY WE GOT A CLAN MECH AND YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE YET" probably counts for something.

Starting budget wound up 315,000,000 c-bills after factoring in my era modifier.
now I have the excellent problem of:
- explaining how a bunch of dork-ass mercs got a timber wolf to fall off a back of a truck in like April 3050
- seeing how quickly this will send me into a financial death spiral

decided to roll a mercenary company in the tabletop version of Battletech to keep track of stats for MegaMek and IRL games.
rolled... uh, very hot for my budget for an established inner sphere merc company at the very start of the clan invasion era.
decided to buy a timber wolf about it.

a very important skill for Online is (if you are not directly affected) to be able to look at the day's discourse and go "no, absolutely the fuck not" and then not post about it

Down in the dungeons, undead abominations lurk, coming from ages where magic was darker, and flesh and bones were often as good of an offering as gold and silver are today.
