[[Line Developer]] [[Randall N. Bills]] [http://community.battletechgame.com/forums/threads/1190 expressly confirmed] that the fluff for the Hero 'Mechs in [[MechWarrior Online]] is considered [[canon]]ical for BattleTech. The storyline for the upcoming [[BattleTech (Video Game)]] is also intended to be canonical. This is notable as computer games are otherwise expressly excluded from the definition of canon, being considered apocryphal instead.

: 2015 was another great year to be a BattleTech fan. The ''[[Unseen]]'' issue is finally going away through the retroactive introduction of new designs that actually look recognizably like the earlier, unseen images. New print novels have been announced (and a small print run of one was sold at GenCon).<br />On the Sarna.net BattleTechWiki side of things, we've seen a continuous drive to improve the existing database, and another 549 new articles added this past year. The 20,000th article will probably be written this year, which is very exciting.<br />The signs are good. Here's to a great 2016!

: Last year, I'd muse in this spot how the number of new articles seemed to ebb, at "only" some 700 for 2016. Silly me. BattleTech is clearly on the rise, what with the games under development by HBS and PGI, and a new dedicated CGL Line Developer with big plans for 2018.<br />On the Sarna BTW side of things we're seeing increased traffic, and 1,436 new articles created in the past year. We're back to full swing, and the upcoming year is going to be great.<br/>Here's to a fantastic 2018!

: Sarna was linked to by Forbes in this article about [http://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2015/12/11/mechwarrior-online-is-finally-released-on-steam/ MechWarrior Online releasing on Steam]. A testament to the high quality content this community has worked on!

Line Developer Ray Arrastia [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=58142.msg1337739#msg1337739 stated] on the BatteTech Forum that he is "not at liberty to discuss ongoing legal matters at this time."

: As part of [[CGL]]'s recent major announcement, they presented new art that explicitly retroactively replaces the old "[[unseen]]" art. Not all unseen designs have received a makeover yet, but the idea apparently is to put the unseen issue to rest for good.

  • 01 January 2018: A Happy New Year (Frabby)
Last year, I'd muse in this spot how the number of new articles seemed to ebb, at "only" some 700 for 2016. Silly me. BattleTech is clearly on the rise, what with the games under development by HBS and PGI, and a new dedicated CGL Line Developer with big plans for 2018.
On the Sarna BTW side of things we're seeing increased traffic, and 1,436 new articles created in the past year. We're back to full swing, and the upcoming year is going to be great.
Here's to a fantastic 2018!

  • 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."
