: At approximately 7am EST 15 January 2017, the sarna.net server will be undergoing maintenance and a migration to new hardware.  Please expect some downtime.  MediaWiki will also be upgraded, so there may be some things temporarily broken.  If you encounter any issues, please [[User:Nicjansma|let me know]] or tweet at [https://twitter.com/SarnaNet @SarnaNet]

Let's hope we can keep it up in the new year.<br />2017 is bound to be great as BattleTech goes. Several major releases have been announced, not only from CGL but also (tentatively) from [[Harebrained Schemes]] with their [[BattleTech (Video Game)|BattleTech video game]] and from [[Piranha Games]] with their announced single-player [[MechWarrior 5]] game, both of which will draw even more new players into our little universe.

: Today, the 20,000th article was created on Sarna. This marks Sarna (and BattleTech) as one of the biggest fan wiki projects out there.<br />Numbers are arbitrary as articles are continuously created and occasionally also deleted (and aren't numbered), but at this time, the honor of being the 20,000th article goes to the article about the DropShip ''[[Gorgon Gal]]''.
 
 
 
*7 October 2016: '''Assistant LD Ben Rome steps down''' ([[User:Frabby|Frabby]])
 
: Long-time Assistant [[BattleTech Line Developer]] [[Ben H. Rome]] announced on his homepage that as of 7 October 2016 he was no longer Assistant Line Developer, and not working for BattleTech or CGL anymore. Raised to the position by his gaming friend and then-Line Developer [[Herb Beas]] (who left the LD position in 2013), he had himself declined the LD position and had been hinting for some time already that he might retire. Ben Rome's work includes the acclaimed ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' and ''[[Combat Manual: Kurita]]'' and is held in particularly high esteem by the fan base, who had nothing but praise and good wishes for him and expressed regret at his decision to leave BattleTech.

  • 23 July 2017: New Unseen lawsuit? (Frabby)
Looking for an explanation as to why the newly released Technical Readout: Succession Wars omitted some prominent designs that all happen to be Unseen, fans found that Harmony Gold has apparently filed a new lawsuit against Harebrained Schemes and Jordan Weisman, among others. Line Developer Ray Arrastia stated on the BatteTech Forum that he is "not at liberty to discuss ongoing legal matters at this time."
