Talk:Charger
From BattleTechWiki
- I have included some additional info on the CGR-SB variant, including the fact that it is referred to as "Challenger". This information is from the BattleTechnology magazine and thus canonical. However, I could not correctly cite the source of the information because I only have a copy of the page here (April 3028, page 44/45) and not the whole magazine. So if somebody else could fill in the blanks please... Frabby 04:06, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
- Actually, BattleTechnology isn't strictly canon (kind of a gray area; see: http://forums.classicbattletech.com/index.php/topic,5372.0.html), but since the variant in question apparently appeared first in the mag, I'd assume that the info is good. --Scaletail 11:12, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
- I have found an explicit reference to Stuart Bell, the Hat-in-the-Ring Battalion and the Charger-SB in the german language book about the BT universe, "BattleTech - Die Welt des 31. Jahrhunderts", an officially licensed 2002 WizKids LLC/FanPro product. This may also be "gray" canon, but imho it strongly supports the canonicity of the information.
[edit] Notable 'Mechs section
Again, I am somewhat unhappy about the removal of my entry. An individual 'Mech that has a name and an notable (imho) history - being no less than a present from the DC Coordinator - deserves mention. I find this far more relevant than some pointless custom configs that get mentioned (see Templar for what I mean). Frabby 01:52, 2 April 2008 (CDT)
- This time I'm going to stick to my edit... for now. First off, the Duke of the Draconis March is more notable than a warrior house leader or a battalion commander. The notable pilots section is intended to be a brief description of the usage of a 'Mech by a famous or important character. That Hanse Davion piloted a Battlemaster is worthy of inclusion. That one of the members of the Kell Hounds command lance pilots a Warhammer is not. That said, the idea was a sort of compromise between myself and CJ. By no means is the discussion closed, so if you believe the guidelines for notability should be changed, reopen the discussion. I make no guarantees that any changes will be made, but neither do I want anybody to feel that their edits are unappreciated or unwelcome. --Scaletail 18:46, 2 April 2008 (CDT)
