Talk:Overlord (DropShip class)

Designations

I was checking out the different types of dropships and looked at the Union class dropship and the Leopard and they both showed up with "Obsolete" after their names (i.e., Union (Obsolete) and Leopard (Obsolete)). I was wondering why we had classified them as "Obsolete" and why the Overlord showed "Original".

Just curious what the rationale was for doing that, especially since the dropships are in use in the 3rd and 4th Succession Wars. Thanks! Bdevoe 13:42, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Because BattleTech products make that distinction. IIRC, "obselete" refers to the 3025-era version, while "Upgrade" refers to post-3050-era versions. Scaletail 19:03, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Okay. That's fine with me. I don't have the products that list those as such, so I've never seen it used that way. Thanks for the clarification. Bdevoe 08:11, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
