We need to make more planets and have aerospace stuff added to neveron. thus creating even more chaos in the neveron worlds. plus it keeps the smaller empires on their own planets to evolve etc while the larger factions can affors dropships and kill each other all they want. just a thought and probably one that I shouldnt even be suggesting since I dont know how hard that would be to program and maintain.

This won't happen for a long time! Stick around for 2 years or so and you might just see this happen.

Well if anything else, the VTOLs would be cool , and not that hard to program (they function much the same as tanks in game play). Although they are easy to get a crit on if I'm not mistaken.

Check this out......
Ive been playing and intrested in BattleTech scince i was 14 (29 now), and have massive ammounts of reference material including the position of every planet in the 5 sucessor states on map (House books), I have tech redaouts for mechs, vehicles, have a few edittions of the battletech magazine, and have ALL the rules for aerospace, mech, city, gun emplacements, mines, lists of what planets in the innersphere are defended by what units, regements and the names of all there commanders. (sorry about all that peeps but i got something to say about this subject.....
Im a pro online gamer and Ive been looking for this game for a good few years (didnt think it could exist cos it needs to be as big as it is and bigger as people suggest here).
The game grows as like the Battletech Game Develop`s, if this game gets half the gamers it deserves it will still be HUGE.
the stage of this game appears to be pre-succession war era at the moment, in a few years I expect that the successor houses will pop up (The fedrated suns - Davion, The Lyran commenwealth - Steiner, The Capellion confidration - Laio, the free worlds League - Marik and The Dracoonis Combine - Kurita), there are a few Btech chaps out there claiming there Empires are the beginnings of thes states, mabey they will be. The Commerse indrustrys (steel etc) and a lot of units (Black widows etc) are up there. I personally am making a stake at the Lyran Commenwealth (Archon Katrina Elizebth Steiner), by naming Zones Tamar, Hesperus II ( I spelt it right pp, other chaps didnt ) etc...
I am Currently awaiting a Ticket about the Legal side as to what can be copied from the FASA Corporation Manuals, as If anyone has Battletech Experence it will help this game no end. If it lasts it could be the biggest online game there is (a lot of japneese Gents/Ladies are into Battletech not to mension us English chaps  )).
******** PRESS RELEASE ************
"A spokes person for OneBigAC20 was reported to conferm that small unit actions in the 31`st centuary may be getting notariety through a new planetary newspaper provided that Legaliteys can be worked out, this will include many features within the inner sphere and under many diffrent topics - it was also stated that shoiuld the go ahead be given the Edtor will be hiring reporters from all over the relm" pp
I Hope the game grows, for it would be a great shame if it did not develop to what it can be, with donations, financial backing from possibly FASA (if there still running), Advertising and OLDsChOoL Battletech players. It is and can even more of the mutts n*ts
P.s Get on IRC chat if you arnt already.
PP.s I need a Faction first offers get the deal, you wont be sorry.

you snuck in while i was typing
well I have specs on a few and the "Ferret light Scot VTOL" can carry infrenty (3 needed for 1 platoon according to Battletech) and having .5 of a ton of armor means you can just look at it wrong n it will drop out of the sky but if you couple it with "Warrior H-72 Attack Helicopters" for support you can drop infrenty into canyons, gulies, buildings etc quickley and retelivety cheeply, good for defending a previously concored zone so as not to tie up your assult troops and gives some support to supply lines. (Dont think Neveron will be at that speed for a year or too but i hope they get there).

well it's good to know that there are still "old school" fans that have the old books! I am proud to say that I cried when FASA went under.
The Attack VTOLs are cool, like the mech busters.

The mechbuster is more a VSTOL / conventional aircraft.  Anyhow, VTOLs aren't designed to take a hit... they're supposed to be fast, maneuverable, use for recon, deep strike/insertion, etc. I think they add a whole new dimension to the battlefield, er, I mean, the game.
