==Averick==
Hello! After being obsessed with the MechWarrior video games and the Battletech Universe for nearly 25 years, I figured I'd better stop procrastinating and start contributing. Especially now I've acquired some miniatures and might actually play the tabletop game rather than just reading the lore on Sarna all day long!

Hi, all.  I've been lurking for a few years while working on a BattleTech database project.  Today, I thought I found an error in a classic BattleMech (Hermes II), so I thought I would do it up in style and create an account.  I'm currently going through every listing of every 'Mech ever published.  Its crazy.  I don't play table top, but I love the source material.

==BFenix==
Hello everyone! I'm a Portuguese designer and student with a tremendous fascination with Battletech.

Always had a great deal of curiosity and excitement towards this universe even before I had any idea what it was all about, simply by seeing anything related here and there. In fact, my first contact with it was Mechwarrior 3 and the MWDA Clix system when I was much younger. With my growing appreciation of giant robots, militaria, games and miniature modelling, I always maintained a very superficial and virtual contact with BT for some reason (through MW4, MWO and MWLL), until the last couple of years where I took a deep breath and decided to dive head-first into this amazing universe. Had my first games earlier this year!

This is where Sarna was absolutely essential and a critical source into understanding Battletech.

Since then, I've been getting my hands on anything BT-related and chewing up fluff like there's no tomorrow! My only setback in terms of boardgaming (either CBT or AS) has been the extremely small and segregated community here in Portugal, but I'm making an effort to join the inner circles and open them up! Fortunately the franchise has been getting some fresh air in the form of video games and new material from CGL, which I hope will interest new blood into the universe and table top aspect of things.

I've been using Sarna so much for info and news that perhaps joining and trying to contribute in any way I can felt like the right thing to do, so here we are![[User:BFenix|BFenix]] ([[User talk:BFenix|talk]]) 05:53, 5 November 2018 (EST)

==Meldaran==
I created this account over 6 years ago and though not an active contributor, I do use Sarna often for lore reference, so I guess it's never too late to introduce oneself. I first heard about BattleTech as a kid when I bought another unrelated FASA product in the late 80s and got their product catalog leaflet. I was fascinated by all the BattleTech books, novels etc. evocative of a complex world building. My first ever game of tabletop BattleTech was only a few years ago unfortunately, for lack of opportunity, but I have played pretty much all the video games over the years. Sarna is this awesome massive repository of BT knowledge that I guess you would need people poring over tens of books to get a piece of information without it. Thank you so much for this.

I've recently gotten back into BattleTech after being an enthusiastic fan in the late 1980s. I'm astonished (overwhelmed, even) by the amount of material available now! I'm working my way through the history of the 31st century by reading sourcebooks, fiction old (ROC novels) and new (BattleCorps), and rule books. I'm happy to have found sarna.net, and look forward to exploring here. [[User:Christopher1234|Christopher1234]] ([[User talk:Christopher1234|talk]]) 14:04, 14 August 2016 (PDT)

I have been a major BattleTech fan for many years. I have read a lot of the classic line of novels. I have read some of the Mechwarrior run and the Mechwarrior: Dark Age. I have been a big fan of the Clans. But I do look at it from all angles. I would love to see more details on the clan wars and the jihad era. The mercanarries side has also always interested me. The Black Thorns, Grady Death Legion, Northwind Highlanders. I also have played alot of the PC Games. Mech Commander 2 was a major favorite. I also did like Mechwarrior Vengeance, as well Mecharrior Mercanaries.

What's up guys. I'm a long time Battletech fan, I used to play the table top game semi-competitively way back in the mid-90s, also a fan of the books (up to about 3060, lost interest after that). My love for the BT universe was recently rekindled by the Kickstarter campaign for the Battletech computer game by Harebrained Schemes. I'm a web programmer and I've been trying to assemble an interactive map of the Inner Sphere 3025 to help out newcomers to find their bearings. Looking forward to doing my part for the Planets project and everything else IS related I can contribute.

Hey all, I am not new to BT itself, but am new to the entirety of the IP. To explain, I played some of the video games growing up, look at the pictures in a TRO from the library every now and again, but didn't ever read any of the fiction or play the tabletop game. Now I am coming back to dig deeper and am finding it a rather enjoyable process. I love giant robots, and find that among the offerings, BT seems to scratch all the right itches for me, so I look forward to being able to contribute to both growing and sharing the universe with others. ^_^ [[User:Chronoblip|Chronoblip]] ([[User talk:Chronoblip|talk]]) 08:34, 16 January 2014 (PST)

I've been a huge fan for over a decade, and still often play the videogames, and have interest in the board game. As was with wikipedia, I kept noticing annoying grammatical errors and in-cohesive writing, and I want to make a difference, especially because I actually care about what this wiki looks like. I hope to get working on a project soon, too, otherwise I'll just edit when I find errors. [[User:BobTheZombie|BobTheZombie]] ([[User talk:BobTheZombie|talk]]) 21:21, 17 June 2013 (PDT)

Hello there! Old time BattleTech fan here. Was actually introduced to the universe true Mechwarrior 2 and MW2: Mercenaries but quickly jumped into the actual boardgame as well. I'm mostly a pre-3050 player. What can I say? I probably just like quirky sub-optimal mechs without Case and loads of ammo sitting rather lonesome in possible critical hit locations. :D
I've got some big plans on the level of a planetary database/map (look at my Talk page) and hope to do some editing here and there as well. Being a lover of all kinds of boardgames, RPG's and Miniature games you might also find me on other sites (like warhammer-empire.com), probably with the username 'BAWTRM'.

Hi. I'm Jetman123. I am into giant robots of both the silly and halfway-realistic-begging-you-on-hands-and-knees-to-ignore-the-science-and-let-me-have-my-giant-death-machine sort. I'm a young, aspiring writer and tabletop gamer. As a fan of BattleTech, I've often used Sarna, and I just made my first edits today, so I figured what the hey, I may as well actually register. I will probably not be here too often, but I do browse the wiki a lot (and I'll only browse it more if I get that GURPS Battletech game I'm planning off the ground eventually) and if I spot anything out of order I'll certainly patch it up. See you round.

I have been a fan of the Mechwarrior games and Battletech universe as long as I can remember. It all started when I picked up a copy of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. That game got me hooked on Battletech for life. I have read all the books and played all the games (Mechwarrior 4 and it's expansions, Black Knight and Mechwarrior 4: Mercearies are my three favorites). I also love me some Clan Wolf (in exile), which helps explain my username. This has been a Wiki I frequently visit for a year now, and I decided to join and see how I can help.

Hello everybody, Great to find people who love BattleTech as much as I do. I've played on and off since 88. Had to pause a few times, grown-up stuff, LOL. I've got many tech readouts and novels. I noticed that the stats for the LAMS are in the Mech lists but, no pics. I have the pics from a first copy 3025 tech readout for the LAMS. Is it ok to post them or is there a copyright issue still and that's why their not there? Also, just got my hands on a 2750 readout with the stats on the types of naval weapons used in BattleTech. Will edit them to the wiki ASAP. If I can be a help with questions on tech issues please ask. If I have it I will do my best to get the info out. Thanks again to all. To the site Administrators, Awesome job!

==s.gage==
Greetings!  I think this is great work, and I thought with my interests in BattleTech being pretty broad I might add some content.  All of the things I have added are well referenced, and hopefully read easily...  I started playing in the early 90's, and have kept up with most of the BattleTech timeline with various supplements.  Within the last several months, my interests have turned towards the deep periphery and Clan space as I am working on a deep periphery MechWarrior campaign.  Beyond periphery realms, I am interested in BattleTech history (but not so much on major characters, playing with them is too detrimental to the continuity...), and I am hoping for a TRO on the early Clans (why always play games in the present, no?).  Cheers.  [[User:S.gage|S.gage]] 23:04, 7 April 2009 (PDT)

Hi there.  I used to play BattleTech back in the 80s because I was interested in Robotech the game had LAMs.  I played and read until the end of the first Clan scenarios when ComStar beat them at the Tukayyid.  Left because there was not enough support for the roleplaying.  Drifting back now, I had heard the game had an improved roleplaying part and a combined arms thing called Strategic Operations coming out. My interests, and I hope, contributions, are on the strategic and historical level. Astrographic data like jump routes, survey and census data, history, timelines, biographies.  Comes from my evil Traveller interests, I suppose.  That is what I would like to add. [[User:Nathan Brazil|Nathan Brazil]] 11:42, 11 March 2009 (PDT)

I got into BT in early 90s played pretty steadily 2 times a week for about 2 years. I still own a fairly large number of manuals and game books.

==y0mbo==
In 1990 a few friends were trying to talk me into trying this game they were playing called BattleTech. I resisted. Beating up giant robots sounded just too cool, and I knew I would end up buying every product in sight. I was right. I ended up buying almost every sourcebook available. My roommates and I played BattleTech every Monday night for three years. I offered to GM if it meant we'd only play BT. In 1994, I had one of the first BT pages on the net. (I think Nic even linked to me). I got out of the game after college, though. Now I'm teaching my 10 year old son to play and starting to write BT fiction again.

==Workerbee==
Back in the late 90s (I caught on late to Battletech), I got a copy of one of Robert Thurston's Battletech novels at my local bookstore as a bit of light reading for home. However, reading the book, I soon realized that this series was incredibly well-written and well maintained, and I decided that I wanted more of it. I began collecting more and more of the novels, and eventually got myself a copy of the boardgame, as well as most of the computer games (MechCommander 2 is by far the best in my opinion). Upon finding this site, I immediately decided to try and give back some of my accrued Battletech knowledge so that anyone, whether die-hard fan or occasional Battletech player, could learn and gain more about the Battletech universe.

As a personal style, I loathe careless mistakes made while typing, especially spelling mistakes that bring down our language in tatters all around us. I know mostly the history of the Battletech universe, and I will probably stick to those sorts of articles for my editing. 

As a side note, my favorite 'Mechs are by far the Blood Asp and the Marauder. The Battletech universe just would not be the same for me without those two.

==Haruspex==
Hey there, as I said on my personal page I got my Battletech start with the Star Lord novel followed by Tactics of Duty which introduced me to the Gray Death Legion. I was hooked ever since, and played Mechwarrior IV: Vengeance, Mechwarrior IV: Mercenaries, as well as MechCommander 2. 

In college I met a guy who had the original hex game on his PC (I can't remember the name of the software) and tried it out. He won of course, being an even bigger BattleTech nerd than I was. 

When Dark Age came out I was a bit confused. Reading the novels it seemed that the setting was reduced to battles with about four 'Mechs a side. This seems to match WizKid's miniatures game where there aren't that many 'Mechs, but I don't think I like it. Maybe they'll escalate the situation until we get back to the multi-regiment scrapfests of old like the Clan Invasion and the FedCom Civil War.

Later I discovered MechWorks and tried my hand at Mech design. Why didn't they fit PPCs on the Wasp? MechWorks spelled it out for me, and my understanding of CBT increased immensely.

When I got back to my old MechWarrior: Mercenaries game, I decided to look up BattleTech and Mechs on the Internet. Lo and behold, Google pointed me in the direction of BattleTechWiki. So here I am. [[User:Haruspex|Haruspex]] 09:04, 8 January 2008 (CST)

Greetings all, ive been submerged in the lore of CBT since my earliest days via the tv show as a child and then by the books during my 6th grade year. Ive been trolling about the CBT online commnity for some time and only am now coming forward to de-lurk and offer my services as well as my extensive amounts of personal data that i have accumulated. Ill try and chime in as much as possible and upload my 7 years of hording knowlege. Not to blow smoke up my own ass but my laptop is a bit of a Star League data core, all i have to do now is decipher my gibberish abbreviations and upload it. I greatly appreciate this wiki as an outlet for my immense amount of time vested and a place for me to use ym extra time (i have insomnia so i have plent of time.) so thats enough of me being long winded, gracias to the max!

Hi everyone !
I'm a Battletech geek, still glad to see BT is not dead ! I've been invited by Scaletail to post here.
I restarted my BT passion one year ago, when launching myself in MW:AoD. I rediscovered the pleasure to fight in the name of the Clans.
I love to read topic about Clan 'Mechs and, you should saw it, I'm a Clan suppremacist (lol). I'm also glad to help the CBT community by writing entries which hasn't been written yet.
I have also to tell I'm, naturally, a Clan player and I'm actually #9 French player (since Paris Gencon Championship, May 2007) in the name of Clan Wolf.
Well I think it's all I can say, otherwise I would become too pretentious :p....

I have been invited to introduce myself so I thought it best to do so now. My name is Drew and I am Nerd. Note that I say "I am Nerd" rather than "I am a nerd", this is because I am the strangest person I know. I play DnD and it eventually got me started on other table top game systems such as BattleTech. I will tell everyone right now that I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I cannot abide by mispelled words and grammatical errors (even though I still find myself occasionally making them). My point being that I absolutely hate it when people use terms like "thier", "varaition", and, worst of all, *shudders* "teh". Please check your spelling before you finish editing an article, I don't mean to be rude about it but it drives me crazy when I see sloppy mistakes. My main goal for this wiki is that a person should almost be able to play BattleTech straight off of the wiki. Thank you for listening to my ranting. --[[User:DragonoftheRust|DragonoftheRust]] 20:51, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
:welcum 2 teh wiki rustic 1! …I was going to try to inundate you with a reply mostly of that nature, but I just can't do it. I understand where you're coming from, it's almost painful to read the horrendously misspelt and poorly worded messages people leave. (Tends to be considerably worse on medium-ly populated wikis; it's downright infrequent here.) While it can grate on your nerves, it often pays to look past such failings; whilst there are certainly some bad spellers out there, the few we have here tend to be a smart and friendly batch overall. Anyway, welcome to the wiki (sorta belated, but oh well). --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 10:08, 23 October 2007 (CDT)

==Kittle==
Hi, my name's Emma, and I'm a mecha geek. I first took an interest in Battletech when Mechcommander came out, although I didn't start to get heavily into the game until Mechwarrior: Dark Age came out. I've never actually managed to play the Classic Battletech miniatures game because everyone I met who'd ever had an interest had given up and moved on to other things by the time I met them, but I've played a lot of Dark Age, Mechcommander 1 and 2 and Mechwarrior 4.

I came across this wiki  whilst I was working on my "Great Project" of trying to replicate all canon battlemech designs up to TRO:3067/Phoenix in Mechwarrior 4. So far I've done all 808 IS mech variants (Apart from one-offs like Tancred Sandoval's Templar loadout) and I'm taking a break before starting on the clan mechs.

I've only been able to track down a couple of of Battletech books (TRO: Project Phoenix and Field Manual: Periphery to be precise) because it's nigh-on impossible to get Battletech stuff where I live, so I probably won't be much use on the creating of articles and things. However, I've had experience as an editor in a few small publications, so I'm very good at spotting mistakes and correcting English, so I'll probably stick to clean-up to start with. [[User:Kittle|Kittle]] 20:46, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Oh, one thing I almost forgot. Not sure where the right place to ask this is, so I'll ask here. Does anyone know what the right format is in the use of 'a' or 'an' in front of an acronym? For example, would it be "A LRM 10" or "An LRM 10". The way I was taught it, you use 'a' if the next word begins with a consonant and 'an' if the next word starts with a vowel, but no-one ever taught me what to do with acronyms and saying "A LRM 10" just sounds wrong to me. Any advice would be gratefully received. [[User:Kittle|Kittle]] 20:53, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Hello all. I neglected to do this earlier, so here goes. :) I have been involved with BTech since 1987 when I first got introduced to it and I've loved it ever since. All of my experience with the game is pre-Clan, so that's what I know and love best. The Third Succession War is where my knowledge mostly lies.

I was ''Clifford'' on BTech 3025/26 MUSE and ran that game for about 3.5 years before handing it off to someone else. I played for many, '''many''' years, but it's been a while since I last played "competitively". :) I'm working on trying to fill in the gaps on the wiki that I know about regarding the 3rd and 4th Succession Wars.

I have most of the source books from the 3026 time frame, including all of the house books, the tech readouts and the Mercenary's Handbook from that era. I'm sure there are some things that I'm lacking, but I didn't think them necessary at the time. :) My latest acquisition was a first-print House Liao book.

I've played a lot of the computer games that were put out, including all of the MechWarrior and the MechCommander games. Again - it's been a while, but this is something I'm getting back into full force. :)

Let me know if you have any questions/comments. Thanks! [[User:Bdevoe|Bdevoe]] 13:31, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
==Rabid==
Hi peoples.  Obviously I just signed up and thought I'd say G'day *waves*.  I'm from Australia, like walks in the park, watching movies and blowing hell out of my friends in Mech combat. >=)
I have been interested in BattleTech/MechWarrior for a number of years having played alot of the MechWarrior series PC games (MW2+expansions, MW3+expansions, MW4+expansion, MC & MC2), read alot of the novels post-4th Succession Wars and GM'd a smallish BattleTech games as well as just starting a MechWarrior RPG with some mates.
I would like to contribute to BW in any way possible with what resources I have.  I have quite a few e-books (mostly the older house field manuals) as well as most of the 1700 series FASA hard copies including all official FASA Tech Readouts from 3025 to 3060 plus a couple of the early 1600 series hard copies.
I've never helped with a Wiki before, so if I can be of any help at all, let me know.

==Agus101186==
Hello everyone, i just signed up with Battletech Wiki , but i would love to contribute as soon as possible. While i started becoming a fan of the battletech universe via the classic battletech novels(only). I started at the very end of the series, right where the fed-com civil war was closing to a halt. While i was trying to hunt down the other books on the list(much of it discontinued) i dabled with the Mechwarrior Computer games( I started with Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries). Those combined with few other battletech-themed computer games(Mechwarrior 3, Mechwarrior 4, Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries, MechCommander 2) are the only source of my knowledge on the classic battletech universe. While i never played the MechAssault games on the X-box that was suppose to connect CBT(Clasic Battletech) with the new novel line from Wizkids, Mechwarrior: Dark Age(MWDA), i have collected and read most of the novels by Wizkids. I am reading book no. 22 :Wolf Hunters by Kevin Killiany. Since there is very little information partaining this frame of time in the battletech universe, here in Battletech Wiki(Wikipedia has more articles, which lead me to ask,  can we, should we, just link the information on wikipedia straight to battletech wiki, if so, how?). I would like to expend more on this particular timeframe, whoever is interested as i am in cataloging this particular timeframe, or just dropping by to give friendly advice can use the the talk page given to me by Battletech Wiki or just E-mail me at agus101186@yahoo.co.uk

I conclude my introduction by apologizing for my long-windedness and any error i might have unintentially made.

Hi all. I'm currently just a reader trying to glean some information for an upcoming fight. I've been into Battletech since before dirt was formed...JK! A long time though, so long I don't really remember when I started, but I do know that it wasn't long after the first of the boxed sets came out. 
[[User:66.69.125.220|66.69.125.220]] 18:58, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

The fight has started. One Star of a Ghost Bear recon unit against 2 lances of a veteran mercenary company. We had to break in the middle due to time constraints, but will pick it back up soon. One mech of the Mercs is out of the fight with only minimal weapons and one leg, another is very badly damaged and is only hanging on by a thread. The star, while beat up now, with one mech operating with an engine hit, is still very much in the fight. More updates as they occur.

Curse the Stravag dice. The fight went badly for the clan. Four head hits took out two mechs, and box cars on a center torso penetration took out a third with three engine hits. The fourth went down by losing all of the center torso, but no engine explosion. The last lost both legs and all weapons. The fight lasted 10 rounds. After the sixth round, when the Star Commander determined that he was going to lose this fight, broke his bid and called in re-enforcements. Unfortunately, they did not arrive in time.

The story will continue.[[User:66.69.125.220|66.69.125.220]] 22:31, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

==Toma2648==
Hey.  My name's Tom and I've been addicted to BattleTech since 1993 or so, when my older brother got the 3rd Edition boxed set for his birthday.  In terms of my interests, I'm more excited about the Star League and the Succession Wars than any of the later history; the games that I've run have been set during the 3rd or 4th War.  Personally, I think that the original, non-reprint Technical Readouts are some of the best BattleTech resources out there... so I guess it's fitting that my first submission was based off a TRO entry.  Expect some more, next time I get bored. =)

==Frabby==
Hello everybody! Well, here's me: I started playing classic boardgame BT and reading the novels in 1992, back in a time when I had plentiful of spare time in the army (Luftwaffe actually). Not knowing anything about the game universe or the 'Mech designs I randomly affiliated with House '''Liao''' and chose the Archer as my 'Mech for the first training battles. The preferrence for House Liao stuck.

Besides boardgame 'Mech combat we did a lot of scifi roleplaying in the BT universe back then and eventually played our own merc unit (with periphery bandit background), the ''Harbingers of Doom''. They eventually merged into the Oberon Confederation if I remember correctly. Truth be told though, BT was only one of the many roleplaying/boardgame systems that I played during that time.

Around 1996 I played as Liao MechWarrior ''Frabartolo'' in a text-based online BT community. I eventually dropped out because my university uplink was too slow for the realtime combat simluator, leaving my 'Mech a sitting duck in the training exercises, and thus preventing me from ever partaking in any serious battles. My notable exploits during the time included wasting 3 Griffins in a row in ill-fated attempts to prove the design's superiority on the battlefield, faring surprisingly well piloting a Crusader (a design I don't like) and eventually getting assigned a Cataphract, but never the Archer I always asked for. Despite merely mediocre combat performance (or perhaps because this was still better than than the average Liao MechWarrior) I was promoted to Subcommander, drafted into Warrior House Imarra against my wishes and given command of a Lance that had never seen combat action by the time I had to quit the game.

I liked the early LosTech flair of the BT universe and started to lose interest in the storyline when the Clans arrived because I do not like their in-credible story and the associated tech and rules and general munchkinism :-( Accordingly, my BT interests primarily cover the time period between 3000 and 3050, and the inner workings of the BT universe at that time. Always enjoyed playing the Liao underdog.

If I were to name a favorite Clan then it would be the Ghost Bears, or perhaps the Snow Ravens.

Old school Battletech player from the 80's.  I don't play anymore but still purchase the source books (long live Amazon!) as I enjoy reading the history of the universe.  I was a big fan of the Black Widow (I KNEW she was "related" to Alexander! lol) back in the day but recently have been focusing on the history of the clans.  Mostly from the exodus through the golden age.  I get a little bored with the Clans Return.

Seems like my enjoyment is from the early 2000's to the formation of the Star League then The Exodus to about 3000.  I'd have to think about my favorite clan but probably Clan Wolf.  I like that it is Nicolas Kerensky's "clan" although I have scoured every single source book for information regarding the [[Minnesota Tribe]] and the Clan that shall not be named.

I got Mechwarrior 4 nigh on three years ago, and I still play it all the time. I'll mostly be useful for sporadic spelling and grammar checking 'n such. Just happy to be on the team!

New to Battletech, but been a fan of the universe through the Mechwarrior game for years.  Happened at one LAN Party.  A teacher from my school was chaperoning the party and was also a gamer.  One who was getting frustrated with his game of Mechwarrior 4 Vengence.  I asked if I could try.  Beat out that mission and the next few after it.  Had my parents get me a joystick and Mech 3 for that birthday.

I got into Battletech when a friend of mine moved over where I live from the hole he used to live in.  Actually got into it not by gameplay itself buy by customizing mechs.  Ended up creating the [[Mule (Custom Mech)|Mule]] and the [[Tinman II|Tinman (UM-T1)]] that night.

Ever since then I've been further and further introduced to Battletech through multiple games of it with friends.  Most games through MegaMek now.  I've got the Tech Manual and access to an assortment of BT related documents, so I might be able to provide help every now and then depending on what I see is needed.

Konnichiwa, as thy say in the Combine. I've been a fan of BattleTech ever since the TV series I guess. My only problem is the lack of other players in my area. (so I haven't bought any models yet) So mostly, I have to console myself with the MechWarrior games. I occationally checked this wiki for information about the various 'Mechs (which is slightly faster than flipping through TROs), but was kinda disappointed at the lack of a number of 'Mechs.

Howdy!  I've been a fan ever since high school (1991), and have played off and on ever since.  While I have not been playing in near on a decade, I've actually found that Battletech (and all its data) have been great source of data for learning how to build databases, spreadsheets, generating forms, and all sorts of jobby-job skills I can translate into paycheck-earning work.  Yes, I have had to "Minimize Screen" because I was importing equipment tables from Excel to Access when my boss walked in.  Still though, it's a fun game to plan and strategize with, but I just haven't had a good opponent to get me back into it.  Lately, I've been gathering all of my previous documentation and consolidating it into a mercenary unit's core set of rules, including TOEs, manpower documents, and maps (in AutoCad!) of my base and its facilities.  Like I said, it's a great way to learn other software platforms when you're not rolling dice!

==KevinSSr==
I have been a fan and player for over 10 years.  I haven't played for a while since my son left the house.  While this doesn't allow me to play the game, I still keep up on it.  As Tripler says above, I use battletech for programming inspiration.  For my JAVA (not javascript) class, I recreated a Mercenary Contract Generator that actually prints out the contract or saves it to a file.  I have also programmed a Temperature Converter in C++ (and Visual Basic) and Planetary atmosphere, miscellaneous information and temperature converter in Visual Basic.  I have numerous WORD and EXCEL documents including TOE's for my mercenary command (started in 3025 and running through 3050).
Now I concentrate on planetary and system exploration.  This means several things.  First, I've plotted the entire Inner Sphere and Clan systems in 3d.  I am looking for information about planets and systems so I can fill in the blanks.  I also have a program that helps create systems.  So when the book says Jerangle is 3 of 5 planets, but doesn't specify the other planets, I can create them and their moons.  This makes for a more realistic system and gives more information other than x,y coordinates and system name!  So working on planets is one of my big things.  One other note:  I probably have almost all of the rulebooks, sourcebooks, TROs, and adventures since Battletech started.  So I should be able to help alot!

Hey there, I'm also known as Nostra on CBT forums, if you want to look me up. I'm a longtime battletech/mechwarrior fan, having been playing the computer and console games steadily since Mechwarrior 3 debuted. I'm only just now getting into Classic Battletech gaming, but I played Dark Age when it first came out, and have been playing battltech in some form or another for quite some time.

==FellBlade==
Hello, i first got into Battletech over a decade ago, 1995 to be exact and left it for many years, I have found myself pulled back in partialy by our local Commando and partialy by the incredibly deep setting Battletech has to offer. I hope to add matereal to the Wiki, and of course to continue playing into the future.

Cheers.

I am 75.121.106.238 I am an unknown, from the unknown.
A serial number. Informative. But only if you know how to read it.
I had no wish to ascend above a casual anonymity. Simply fixing a spelling error, rewriting a paragraph for grammar's sake.
I have no great knowledge. But I do what I can.

After browsing the articles here on BTW, I finally decided to contribute. I'm the one who did the articles on the 1st Battalion of the 1st Davion Guards RCT (from the PC game MechCommander) and a couple of related articles, since I've been a MC and BT fan for more than 10 years.

I'm part grammar cop, part researcher. I'm not likely to do any major changes to existing pages, just grammar stuff, but I might create a short page that needs to be created every now and again.

Young writer seeking editorial experience and fun all in one giant, shiny metal package.  

I found this page by searching BattleTech Wiki, as I am a fan (but not contributor) of other wikis.  This is my first go round, so be gentle.

I too am a fan of the fiction created around the BattleTech universe.  Michael Stackpole, Robert Thurston and Blaine Lee Pardoe are all names I like to see in print, and the stories they tell have fueled my imagination for quite some time.  I've also played the game BattleTech with friends for about 20 years now (on and off), and have a love for the game and all things connected with it.

Hi, i've been visiting Sarna for a long time now and just thought i should contribute something to this wiki and help the Battletech community as a whole. I started out doing minor edits here and there as an anonymous user (doing the FSS Excalibur, Valkyrie QD-2, Fed Suns academies notable graduates, 3rd Robinson Rangers history) but just decided to register and contribute in my free time. I'll be adding stuff mostly to the Federated Suns articles. Look forward to having fun here!

Hi all. Joined a bit ago and thought to say hello. I originally came across BT when the 3050 technical readout was first published and enjoyed it incredibly then. I've recently been reading up on everything that has happened since and I love where it has moved on to. Used to love Aerotech as well so I've made a few hexmaps for everyone to enjoy. I have a few other ideas but we'll have to see if any come to fruition. I hope to be able to add more original graphics in the future to create a bit more eyecandy for some of those bland pages and to skirt the copyright issue by creating them myself. By the way, love what you've done with the place.

Hey all! I go by Dave or MirageES, and I have been a fan of the BattleTech universe ever since I first played MechWarrior3. That got me into reading the books and I am now working on completing my novel collection. I tend to sympathize with the Warden Clans, and I sometimes irritate my friends and family by throwing clan terms into my sentences. My other interests include fast cars and racing. I am currently in the process of modifying my car and trying to increase performance. As for what I'd like to work on editing, I love reading about 'Mechs and learning about them, so if I ever get new info., or find a correction, that will be the first thing I will work on. In my spare time I also enjoy grouping 'Mechs by tonnage, purpose, firepower, capabilities, combinations that compliment each other, etc. I have whole spreadsheets full of information and grouping. I hope I can make helpful contributions here.

==BigBear1010==
Hello everyone! I have forgotten more than I can remember about Battletech, since I was once very deep into the games, back in the 1980's. I am and was always a die-hard Battletech player and loved playing it for hours on end, even when I had many other things to do. I have limited myself to pre-3025 to 3040 era mechs, and never did get into the clans. Tho, they do make great reading and they do look awesome. 
I have been re-included with my old battletech energies by joining a local Battletech group that meets weekly. I have still many things to relearn, but as with riding a bike, it does not take long to get back on.
I do enjoy writing some history, and I am in the process of writing some non-canon history of a current battlion in the 3040-3050 era. Again, I am a re-found BattleTech player, and I thank you all for writing up and about the Battletech world. Please have a nice day!

==TekTeam26==
Hello, all. I first started playing BattleTech back in the late 80's. I have also had about a dozen articles published over the years in BattleTechnology Magazine and MechForce Quarterly. I am the original creator of the non-jump capable WarShips known as Monitors (love them or hate them) I've mostly played the usual Mech games, though my main interest is with aerospace and BattleArmor. I am very fond of combined arms scenarios and stories that are set well outside the usual Great Houses. I am no longer an active BattleTech player, but am still very interested in current developments particularly involving WarShips and other large craft like Pocket WarShips. I created the original unit TekTeam Technical Services that was featured in several of my published stories like 'Saga of the Amaris Star'. I hope to add a full unit history for TekTeam Technical Services that includes future developments that had not been previously published. Enjoy the possibilities.[[Special:Contributions/71.74.86.252|71.74.86.252]] 22:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello.  I started playing BT in '85.  My first mech was a Stinger that got the snot blown out of it by an Archer.  My next mech was a (brand new to the universe) Catapult,  I returned the favor on the Archer.  Since that time, I have GMed, Refed, judged, and played games across the country.  I stopped playing about 10 years ago so I'm not to familiar with the latest news in the IS.  So I will limit myself up to the TR:3058.--[[User:Trynnallen|Trynnallen]] 19:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, been a fan for quite awhile now.  I started playing Mechwarrior when I was a kid and have just never managed to leave the universe.  Typically, I play Clan homeworld games so I'm a bit lacking when it comes to intimate knowledge of the Inner Sphere.

I have been a wargame and RPG player for more years than I care to admit but the one I come back to time and again is [[Battletech]]. I started playing the boardgame and [[Mechwarrior]] RPG in the late 80's and have been playing off and on ever since. Over the years I have amassed a large collection of source books, mini's and novels to support my addiction. As a hobby I write, primarily in the RPG/Wargaming areas, and have had some things actually published. My ventures into the [[Battletech]] universe were accepted by the now apocryphal [[BattleTechnology]] and printed in their "The Early Years" special edition. Currently I work when I have too, play when I can, write when I may and collect rejection notices in my copious spare time.  [[User:Wookiebear|Wookiebear]] 17:21, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I've been using this site for a couple of years now to help make my custom designs (made in HeavyMetal) more accurate.  I finally decided to sign up and actually contribute.
I've been a fan of the BattleTech universe since MechWarrior 2 came out when I was in middle school.  I stared with the CCG and moved on to the tabletop game.  Though my introduction to the universe was through the Clans, I tend to play as the Inner Sphere (usually FedSuns).  My stack of TROs sits next to my computer, always waiting to be checked, double-checked, and triple-checked.
I hope to be a useful contributor.  I edited a few things earlier today and then decided I should probably register before I make it a habit.

==MechWarriorfreak==
Hello everyone. I just signed up last night, and already I'm loving it. My interest in BattleTech started with an old Xbox game called MechAssault. It grew from there when I was trying to find out the details on the mechs, such as the Atlas. I began to realize how much bigger of a world BattleTech is. Me being young, I made it my duty to explore. And thats what I've been doing ever since. I'm  always finding out new and awesome things about the BattleTech universe, and my knowledge of it continues to grow. I had just posted my own BattleMech called the [[Ravage]]. It is non-canon, therefore fiction. But I hope that it will find its place in the BattleTech universe someday. My goal as I continue to be here is that my creations will become a part of the real canon BattleTech universe! -[[Mechwarriorfreak]]

==LRichardson== 
Long time player, I got my BT 2ed box in 1988 and played pretty consistently until around 1994. I've often had BT on my mind ever since even though I don't play anymore. I saw a game shop recently (I thought that they had gone extinct) and a brand new copy of the 25th anniversary edition. Feeling nostalgic, I bought it (only hours after it was put on the shelf apparently), started poking about online and found this place. I hope to help out some with the canonical stuff mostly to do with rules on here and to publish some of the house rules that my player group way back then hashed out. At least.. I hope to publish the ones that playtested well. ; ) Nice to see that pen and paper gaming isn't dead like I long suspected it was.

==Cungr Vanck==
After a few year hiatus, I am returning to the Battletech universe.  It has been awhile, but I still have my complete (almost) collection of all the Technical Readouts, Sourcebooks, Novels, and more.  I have also recently downloaded MechWarrior 4 from MekTek and been reliving my younger days with the clash of mechs across the varied worlds of the Inner Sphere.  My goal here is to help add to the BattleTechWiki where I can.

I couldn't see anything on this page marked as '''New User Posts''' as mentioned in the opening parapgraphs, so I've added my entry to the end. I hope that's ok? It seemed the logical choice, given the mention of comments being added to the bottom of the list.

I've been quietly active on the CBT forums for a few months now, and I've seen repeated references to the BT wiki over there, so I've been ducking in here to read whenever someone talks about subjects I know little about. My work involves a certain amount of copy editing, and although I'm not a professional editor or copy editor I do have a reasonable eye for detail; I've found myself making some minor corrections to pages here to tidy up spelling, grammar, typos and the odd broken link, and I thought that it would probably be polite to actually create a profile here so I can be gripped if I'm stepping on any toes. I really like the idea of the BT wiki as a free resource for everyone from new players to old lags like myself, and while I don't have a great deal of spare time lately, I feel much less guilty about using the Wiki so much if I'm also helping a little with it.

==BirdofPrey==
Been a Battletech fan ever since playing Mechwarrior 2 and reading the manual which established the universe by being written in-character.  I've only gotten into the tabletop game recently, and, despite growing up on big stompy mechs, I favor a combined arms approach to battle.  I don't really remember where I found this, whether I was linked here from a Mechwarrior fansite, or if I just found it while looking for a mech, but now I use Sarna fairly often when I need some tidbit of info to build a force or find a unit or rule in one of my books.

Since I field vehicles heavily I have noticed their pages don't seem to be as heavily maintained and categorized, so I signed up to give their pages the lovin' they deserve.

My name is Peter LaCasse, and I have played Battletech for many years.  My best friend in middle school got Aerotech for his birthday, and when we saw that there was a ground combat based version called Battletech for sale at Waldenbooks in the mall, I somehow convinced my mom to buy it for me.  Since then, my favorite miniatures paint scheme has resembled the Warhammer on the cover, though without the RDF logos.  I love to design units and forces, and the most fun I have ever had playing Battletech was in the old style Battletech Open at a major convention, where you chose a lance of mechs for each of three rounds and faced off against some of the best players in the world.

Another old-timer (first played the game in the late 80's) who just recently got back to BattleTech after nearly a decade of absence. I've found this wiki very useful so I thought I might as well contribute something, albeit my wiki-editing skills are modest at best. I'm mainly interested in the pre-Clan Invasion era right now and I was thinking about starting with the individual unit histories, some of which seem rather poorly written.

Hi guys, long time lurker here who just signed up a few days ago. Love this wiki for all sorts of background information.

Been playing the tabletop game since '89, and am a 100% devotee of MW2:Mercs (the only 'true' BTech game imho). Read the novels up until the end of the Fedcom Civil War, and spend far too much time messing around with Solaris Skunk Werks or the Heavy Metal series, to be considered sane any longer. I'm part of a few groups that do fanfics *pulls out fire extinguisher to deal with the torches* and try to pull as much from either here or the canon sources as possible, and very likely know a few of you from other websites, if all under different names. Please bear with me, as I'm a bit rough around the edges on how to use wiki-code.

Hi there! I've just begun to delve into the Battletech franchise a few months ago thanks to MechWarrior Online, where I pilot the JR7-K Jenner ''Azumi''. Reading up on the Inner Sphere's background, I quickly grew enamored to the setting and the Draconis Combine in particular, and have since acquired a number of sourcebooks and novels to satiate this newfound thirst. As this wiki has helped me greatly to find my bearings and since I like writing, I've opted to show my gratitude by helping to expand it.<br>I will likely focus my efforts on all things related to House Kurita and the DCMS, as this is where my interests lie and which I therefore read about most. My biggest contribution so far is a general revamp of [[Katana Tormark|Katana Tormark's article]], which I shall complete after having finished reading that character's second novel. Yoroshiku!

Why hello, I'm c4167. I have heard of Battletech/Mechwarrior since I was 12. I played both demos of MW4 Vengeance, Mercenaries, and Mechcommander 2. I also own MW4: Mercenaries and play Mechwarrior Dark Age/ Age of Destruction. If I would I would aline myself with the Free World League and Federated Suns due to ethnic relations.
I only really contribute by editing minor spelling errors on pages due to not wanting to mess up other peoples work, though hopefully I will be of major service in the end.{{Unsigned|C4167|16:40, 26 April 2013‎ }}

Long time lurker. Used to collect the manuals but I'm more obsessed with the PC/Console games and Virtual World when it was a thing. I'm heavily addicted to "stompy" robots and the history behind them. Really, really way too addicted to JIHAD through DA for the little mysteries that crop up like phantom units and mysterious arrivals and disappearances that go back to pre-invasion eras or earlier. Was doing a few research projects related to stuff for MWO debates, namely the angry in game chat messages saying 2 PPCs + Ac20 wasn't "Mechwarrior" which led me to the Kurita Warlord's Atlas then in the course of that turned into a larger unit creation project to match a unit in real life to one in lore. Noticed a merc page was written by someone, I'm guessing German based on structure and order of sentences, and decided to clean up the misspellings and sentence structures. I'm not a lore master but if I can verify it or clean it as I see it I will. --[[User:SixStringSamurai|SixStringSamurai]] ([[User talk:SixStringSamurai|talk]]) 13:09, 27 January 2014 (PST)

Hey all. Like BrokenMnemonic, I could not find the New User Posts, so I added my introduction to the end of the list. I hope that is acceptable, and if not I apologize.

First off, I'm Craig, and my journey through the Inner Sphere started in 1984 and I've been going ever since. I stumbled onto this site a few years back and have been enjoying it ever since. I finally decided to register and try my hand at editing some of the articles here. Not drastic changes, just some minor grammar and spelling stuff. Once I get comfortable with things I might even try creating whole articles, though I'll be the first to admit that I may not know enough to do that. If anyone has some helpful hints, please feel free to give me a helping hand, eh.

==Marauder727==
I guess I'm the newest one in the group, so I'll do the obligatory introduction.  I too could not find the New User Posts, so forgive me.

My Battletech experience goes back to the mid-90's after graduating from college.  With free time, and living near a gaming store that had space for miniatures gaming, I discovered Battletech while FASA was still in existence.  With no internet at the time, fulfilling my need for Battletech miniatures required that I search for every obscure store across the Northern Virginia area and Washington, D.C.  Of course, I was a fan of the Unseens, harkening back to my days of Robotech / Macross, with the Warhammer and Marauder being my favorites (thus my screen name).  As the years have progressed, I've continued to be involved in the Battletech universe including the MechWarrior PC games, (MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries was my favorite), as well as the MechWarrior clicky game (when you don't have people to play Battletech miniatures, you gotta do what you gotta do).  I've read all the fiction, even the Dark Ages novels, but my favorite ones have always been centered around the Gray Death Legion.  William H. Keith Jr's novels were the real first introduction for me to the game, from then on, there was no turning back.  But, all good things must come to an end, and they did...with 'The Dying Time'.  FASA's deliberate destruction of the Gray Death Legion was a betrayal that, to this day, bothers me.  The GDL was the first mercenary unit that opened the door for many people to the Inner Sphere...and to systematically and so thoroughly destroy one of the premiere mercenary units of the Inner Sphere...well let's just say I was devastated.  The Kell Hounds survived the Jihad, so too did Wolfs Dragoons, even though Outreach was blasted into a radioactive husk.  No other mercenary unit of such distinction received the treatment that the GDL received.  And so, it has been my desire to research every facet of the GDL, and find a way to bring them back.  Sarna.net has been my source for a lot of Battletech information, but also for my quest to resurrect the Gray Death Legion.  Call me crazy...but everyone needs a hobby, right?

I hope I got this right and perhaps some of you could shoot me a message every now and then to let me know I'm welcome.  I hope I can contribute to this fantastic site.

Long time lurker.  Done some anonymous edits, mostly cleaning up some of the more atrocious grammar and spelling errors on various articles.

==MadRush==
My first exposure was to MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries which came with my PC in 1997.  Later I think MechWarrior 3 came with a flyer for this BattleTech thing with miniature mechs, sweet! Got a few minis but never played the board game.  Then I happened across Neveron, which was where I was exposed to the glorious 100x100  hex combat.  Over the years I've bought the new MechWarrior titles as they have come out and hunted down many old obscure ones as well.  Finally at the end of 2016 I pieced together a copy of the latest edition of the board game, as its currently out of print and subsequently dragged my friends into playing that and MegaMek.  If I can stop fiddling with painting mechs and obsessing over custom designs, I might give a serious try at patching the MechWarrior 2 to run in Windows 10.

blaquebx is for Blaque Baux Engineering:  If you can Laplace it, then we can black baux it. SunOS limited me to eight characters for a login I finally went with play@work.eng.sun.com.  Arlyn Kensington III was the moniker for my first character in Battletech and Mechwarrior callsign:  Ghoti; also Walnut Creek's Virtual World's callsign.  My adopted brother and I anxiously await the newest release. I am a fan of Pre-Clan(FRR for this 1/2 Swede). I still play Mechwarrior1+, and still relive the Crescenthawks in a virtual DOS or AppleOS box.  I thought it seemed pretty easy to get the LAM everytime. Oh yes I do like LAMs, all of them.  These days life showed up, and I am HW poor/rich and the desktop has a MB w/o video acceleration so RPGing is probably more my speed. Local play is alll I can get to with a DOS box, Apple box is dead on this machine.  I am a Speller and a Grammarian.  I am also a researcher, and a designer.  I liked designing Mechs, Aerospace fighters, Warships.  I am an admin, NA, DBA, and out of practice, and have never dealt directly with a wiki, so the '''requirements'''''Italic text'' are treat me like a noob so the wiki doesn't suffer too much, and I in return will take it slow.

Since my family tried the MechWarrior 2 game on the 1995 IBM, my brother and I have been hooked on the BattleTech Universe.

==Virlutris==
I was introduced to the BattleTech universe when a buddy got me to try MW:O in 2014, after countless conversations while we commuted to our grad school courses. It wasn't long before I found this treasure trove of information, which has been my primary source of BT universe reference data ever since.

I'd like to be able to add something new or flesh out some articles, but I don't have much in the way of BT universe resources of my own. Something I do have is lots of experience writing, editing, and doing analysis work from 25 years of school and work. I was even a newspaper copy editor for a little while, so I can help with style, grammar and spelling spot-checks when I run accross them, now that I've got an account. I'm also a voracious reader of fiction in general, and I've got gaming books for other games and systems, so lore and canon are familiar for me.

I registered my account because I decided that I wanted to add something to a community resource that's been very good to me for over 4 years now. 

Let me know if there's a little something (or a little bite of something big), that I can help with to start while I get warmed up to working with the community here. I won't necessarily have consistently large amounts of time, but if I can contribute something, I'll be happy.

I've been a BattleTech fan since 1986, when a friend brought his rulebook to class. I stepped away from tabletop in the 90s, but played all the PC games, and got sucked into Dark Age later on. I got fully back into the game last year, mainly for building and bashing 'Mech models. This site has been permanently open in my phone's browser since then. 
I'm a professional writer and editor (both in and out of the game industry), and while I don't think I'll be able to be a regular (or even significant) contributor, I can certainly lend a hand here and there.

==Red Knight==
Hi everyone, I have been a frequent reader/lurker of this wiki for many years and eventually decided that I wanted to actively contribute to this site, even if just a little. I somehow stumbled over sarna.net a long time ago (and am glad I did), but honestly can't remember how exactly - probably by means of some search engine, looking for details of some 'Mech or faction. I am a huge fan of the BattleTech universe ever since the early 90s ("Far Country" by Peter Rice was my entry point, to be precise, and even if I may be one of a few, thought it was great, nostalgia aside). "MechWarrior 2" and MW 2: Mercenaries" were among my first games on PC and even though I never played the tabletop game as much, I often played (and still play) "MW: Dark Age"/"MW: Age of Destruction", read the fiction and the Sourcebooks, played and enjoyed the PC games. Aside from Star Trek there was no other fictional universe that influenced me as much as BattleTech, even on a personal level. Of all the cool and interesting factions I am most familiar with the Draconis Combine since it is the faction I am following right from the start, so that could be called something like a field of expertise. Other than that I am pretty new to wiki'ing and site editing in general, so I guess there will be some slip up eventually and I ask your forgiveness for that. But anyway, I am looking forward to working with y'all!

==KrazyKat==

Hi all, I'm a relatively new recruit to the world of Battletech; after lurking on Sarna for a couple of years, watching MWO and Battletech (PC) gameplay on Youtube and Twitch and creating tabletop designs on Mordel.net, I decided to create an account on Sarna to help fix any minor errors I find in the pages - or to add information to pages that need it when I get the time! I'm deeply committed to keeping canonicity as strong as possible, especially within my fictional homebrew universe (which I haven't disclosed to the internet besides snippets in some of my designs on Mordel in case you were wondering), and will endeavour to ensure that any content I edit or create is as accurate as possible. I first came across Sarna whilst looking for an online blank Battlemech Record Sheet pdf, then several months after discovered that the website also functioned as a wiki for all things Clan and Inner Sphere! I've used it at least once a month since then.

I got into the universe at 14, when my dad gave me his copy of The Battletech Compendium to read. I have since played as many games of tabletop as possible (which is sadly only a few) and created at least a hundred custom Battlemechs and Vehicles (though not all have met my standards to make it onto the internet!). The Battletech Universe and Community mean more to me than any other I've been a part of, and I hope that I can begin to put back into the community some of the countless hours of enjoyment that I have received from it!

==Koniving1==

Hello everyone.  Koniving here, apparent "loremonger" according to MWO forums.  First MechWarrior exposure was to, of all things, a combination of Exo-Squad toys and MechWarrior 2 with a dash of BattleTech figures as a big wish list.  By MechWarrior 3 I was getting pretty big into it with the MechCommander series being among my favorite games, although my involvement didn't get as big as I would have liked (due to lack of other interested people locally) until the MW5 trailer.. where between then and early MWO I really began reading into things and collecting the materials.  This combined with some real life military experience (MOS 13-Mike, MLRS field artillery) brought together a greater fondness for the Catapult and a surprising number of similarities that BT has with the US Army's 1980s MLRS, including LRM minimum accurate range.  Before truly knowing some aspects of lore I'd have some hypothesis of how it would work and then be surprised to learn I was accurate to the lore which only further deepened my interest and appreciation.

I'll be here doing a LOT of searching for weapon and equipment brands, corporate details, and lore regarding all these for a BattleTech lore-friendly simulation mod for MW5 Mercs (with the first focus being lore weaponry).  As such any inconsistencies with the written information that I find (such as the ScatterGun-Light MG recently under Defiance Industries) I'll bring up and hopefully dig up useful info (as I've already found dozens of unlisted brands and dig up details of said weapons not yet on Sarna.net) and supply them here with their sources, for everything from laser color down to diameter size and special information (uncommon knowledge; the typical medium laser in BT is red, but in the games ever since MW2 it's been green; in MW1 it was yellow and small laser was green.  Also typical small lasers in early novels were also apparently green).

Btw, can someone tell me how to properly add source references to existing lists?  For some reason when trying "edit" on sources the text showing how it works is just gone.  I have the feeling I'd need to edit a whole page to put in the detail, source reference and add in the source instead of trying to add a source in the source section before / after editing a tiny section.

==PastorRecoil==

My first introduction to the BattleTech universe was The Crescent Hawks' Inception on a Commodore 64 and it grew quickly from there! I've always had trouble getting into the tabletop (largely from lack of other players around me) but the universe and history have always been my favorite part of BattleTech. When I was in college in the early 2000s I got into a lot of the more obscure bits of the lore and was pretty active on the Solaris7 forums, but then when life got busier it was one of the first things to go. I finally decided to sign up for an account and start making the changes I kept hoping someone else would do!

I have loved the Battletech world and have followed it for close to 25 years.  I started with playing the original Battletech game on my computer at home.  I have my cousin to thank for the time devoted to this game as he got me hooked back in my teenage years.  My favorite time period is the return of the Clans to the Inner Sphere as this was the major storyline for when I started playing Battletech.  I have played multiple different Battletech games on various gaming systems and have settled in with playing MegaMek for several years.  I have followed and utilized Sarna for several years as I have been playing whenever I needed to research something and decided that I should join and start helping out.

I am a humble fan of the BattleTech universe and have enjoyed it for over 25 years. For me, there just is not much I dislike about BattleTech. The Jiahd and Dark Age eras are just as fun for me as all the rest. I am currently running through the novels in order, which means rereading some and seeing most for the first time. I enjoy the lore, and have spent countless hours on this beautiful wiki. In doing so I have seen some typos (not complaining, I make typis al thr tme...), and some not-so-up-to-date entries. I'd like to see if I can help out with updating some stuff, and fixing some minor errors here and there. I would jump at the opportunity to work on entries that require modernization (as in needing additional information from post-Jihad era) as well as creating new entries for what is to come as we start seeing more stuff from 3148 and beyond.

Also, note to admins: I am a data scientist by trade, and if any form of text analysis (natural language processing), or any other form of analytics is of interest you here, let me know! Data science is my second favorite hobby, next to BattleTech.

==Akamia==
Hello, everyone. I've actually been here for quite some time now and somehow missed the instruction to introduce myself here. So I've decided to correct that. I'm Akamia. Been a ''BattleTech'' fan since childhood, having grown up playing ''MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat'', every iteration of ''MechWarrior 4'', and ''MechCommander 2''. I fairly recently purchased a copy of the ''BattleTech'' turn-based tactics game by Harebrained Schemes as well, and also began to knuckle down and learn how to play the tabletop; ''Total Warfare'' is the standard for most people, but I desire more. So, so much more.

I mostly lurk about this wiki, having learned of it kind of by accident once upon a time. I don't remember how. I do remember that I came here looking for, among other things, canon references to a ''BattleMaster IIC'' and a Solaris VII gladiator who somehow participates in assault circuit matches aboard a ''Hunchback''. Neither of which appear to exist, of course. Some sort of Mandela Effect nonsense. The former was me misremembering the ''BattleMaster'' in ''MechWarrior 2''. In fairness, though, the ''BattleMaster'' in that game uses Clan-spec weapons and equipment, because that's all the game had...

Anyways. I'm very interested in the lore of the ''BattleTech'' universe these days. The kind of stories the ''MechWarrior'' games can never tell, because in those games, it's all about the BattleMechs. While BattleMechs are cool and all, I'm finding ignoring everything else does the verse a disservice. Combined arms are interesting, the interpersonal interactions between the characters that live in the verse are interesting, the ''histories'' of entire interstellar civilizations are interesting. Incidentally, the "Tex Talks BattleTech" web series on the Black Pants Legion channel on YouTube kind of woke me up to how alive the ''BattleTech'' universe really is. I know some time periods are substantially less popular than others, particularly the more recent ones, but I think they all have something to offer that keeps things fresh and interesting.

My other, non-''BattleTech'' interests are quite varied, usually tending toward other science fiction franchises such as ''StarCraft'', ''Stellaris'', ''Doctor Who'' and such, but there are some genre outliers that have held my attention long enough for me to dive deep into their worlds as well. Things like the fourth generation of ''My Little Pony'', for example, as well as ''Monster Hunter''. I try to find time to tinker with a LEGO Mindstorms robotics kit once in a while, also, as I enjoy real robots as well. (Not to be confused with the "Real Robot" genre, which ''BattleTech'' is a part of)

Once I have a copy of ''TechManual'' and some TROs handy, I think I'd like to contribute more to the weapons and equipment side of the wiki, as that seems to be more bare-bones than anything else here. Details on specific makes and models of weapons are pretty scarce, I'm finding, and I don't know if that's because ''TechManual'' is vague about this stuff, or if it's because not enough editors are interested in fleshing that out. I know it's all fluff, but I've assigned a level of importance to the fluff that's admittedly a bit higher than a lot of people care about anywhere else. So that's going to be my initiative once the opportunity arises.

Hope to see you guys around.--[[User:Akamia|Akamia]] ([[User talk:Akamia|talk]]) 07:52, 17 December 2020 (EST)

Hi. I discover Battletech by the 2018 videogame. I played Mechwarrior 5 too and I read a lot in this very wiki. Maybe a day I will buy some books but I already have a lot to read.

-Hello hello! I've been playing in some form or another for at least 25 years now. Recently I read and loved Daybreak on Shining Mountain in Shrapnel #2, and was shocked to find that the main planet didn't have an entry yet. I decided to rectify that, and then see what else I felt like writing up.

-I have been a wargame and RPG player for more years than I care to admit but the one I come back to time and again is [[Battletech]].

Over the years I have amassed a large collection of source books, mini's and novels to support my addiction. As a hobby I write, primarily in the RPG/Wargaming areas, and have had some things actually published.

I have all the recog guides and can help with adding the new mechs and variants. I can help with grammar too.

-Ello everyone. I've been a Battletech fan since I was a kid. I grew up with MW2's Titanium Trilogy re-release. Plugging the JAZ drive that had Mechwarrior 2 into my dad's giant Honda of a home computer back then was always the signal for some fun times blasting robots. I've been hooked ever since. I beta tested MWO and have played on and off for the years since; I've hosted my own Battletech Alpha Strike games in person, and I love Megamek. Now I'm here on the wiki and want to finally give back to a franchise that's probably shaped my nerdness more than any other.

-Hi everybody! I've been a BattleTech fan since I was born, played through most of the PC Games including MechAssault, and I like to keep close to the lore as much as possible. What I'd love to do is to create some new units to bring more diversity to the Fall of Star League and beginning the Succession Wars period with respect to existing lore, and am open to all feedback. Thank you.

-Greetings! I've been a fan since the years of the second edition box and Crescent Hawks' Inception DOS game where I learned the fundamentals of stock trading with DefHes, NasDiv, and BakPhar (and, of course, that the best defense against a vibroblade is an inferno launcher). Recently diving in to some MekHQ campaigns has me once again scouring the depths of this wiki and finally creating an account to correct a typo that had been bugging me. I hope to find more interesting ways to contribute in the future.
