Line 60: Thank you for finding that updated portrait of [[Ashley Watkins]]/Pollard. The image quality makes her page look much nicer than the one I pulled from her blog!--[[User:Beemer|Beemer]] ([[User talk:Beemer|talk]]) 21:35, 17 September 2022 (EDT) Thank you for finding that updated portrait of [[Ashley Watkins]]/Pollard. The image quality makes her page look much nicer than the one I pulled from her blog!--[[User:Beemer|Beemer]] ([[User talk:Beemer|talk]]) 21:35, 17 September 2022 (EDT) − :No problem. I think the higher quality image is a decade old but it'll do.--[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 23:49, 17 September 2022 (EDT) − − == Hadur LRM variant == − − Thanks for the update, I presently don't have the 'Technical Readout: 3150' book. [[User:Echo Mirage|Echo Mirage]] ([[User talk:Echo Mirage|talk]]) 14:57, 14 January 2023 (EST) − − :I'm curious now... where did you get the info that you wrote into the article?--[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 18:10, 14 January 2023 (EST) − ::Got the info on the LRM variant's introduction and initial employment during the Battle of New Oslo from the Operation NOYAN article. The description of the LRM variant in action indicated that the LRM was equipped with a full scale TAG system as well as a LRM launcher. Based on that as well as the space and tonnage available to the baseline ''Hadur'', I assumed that the new variant was a minimum change design that in line with general Clan doctrine (and associated game designer tendencies!) maintained as much ranged firepower as possible while preserving or improving the tonnage available for the primary ammo, in this case the LRM missiles. (To make the most of the available primary ammo capacity I also believed that it was likely that it would have a LRM-5 or possibly LRM-6 launcher.) I was therefore quite surprised when you dug up the detailed specs on the new variant showing that, contrary to the information on its deployment in the field, it is actually equipped with a Light TAG system (the choice of a double LRM-15 system was another surprise, especially given the current Battletech construction rules). As it currently stands, the LRM variant is wildly at variance with the lore; it literally can't carry out the role and tactics that have been described for it. For one thing it would not be able to stick with its standard Hadur partner, but would have to move well ahead to have any hope of spotting targets at the best range of the Arrow IV equipped Hadur, while still being unable to use its own LRMs to anything like full advantage, targeting computer notwithstanding (not to mention that it will probably run out of ammo far more quickly that its partner [only a couple of reloads, if I haven't totally fouled up my tonnage calculations gamewise]). The reactive armor is yet another strange design choice. I'm beginning to wonder if there hasn't been some seriously crossed wires at Catalyst Game Labs here. − − ::I could be wrong, but isn't this new variant unique in putting a Light TAG system on a LRM platform? While light TAG systems aren't entirely unheard of on Clan OmniVehicles and combat vehicles (and the occasional OmniMech or BattleMech), they are usually associated with alternate configurations intended for elemental support or forward artillery spotting, or vehicles specialised for same (including some ProtoMechs lest I forget). And the missile systems where equipped are almost invariably Streak SRMs. Otherwise Clan vehicles equipped with Light TAGs are generally designed for second line units (such as Clan Watch [MP] and ''Solahma'' formations) intended for infantry support or hunting down enemy infantry in rear areas. [[User:Echo Mirage|Echo Mirage]] ([[User talk:Echo Mirage|talk]]) 18:03, 18 January 2023 (EST) − − :::One problem with writing wiki articles based solely on information in other wiki articles is that you have no way of verifying the information. That is a very important step. Without verification we get speculation or outright incorrect information, which is a bad thing. Speculation is to be avoided.--[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 20:59, 18 January 2023 (EST) − − == Handling Component Images used in Image Composites == − − Cache, I have the following question. When creating combinations of images that then will replace the original component images within articles, I presume that we would wish to keep the original component images around even though the latter are not directly used in an article (for the purposes of preserving source info and history). Is there a recommended way to handle such? See [[:File:Catapult Token.jpg]] for an example. --[[User:Dude RB|Dude RB]] ([[User talk:Dude RB|talk]]) 23:06, 31 January 2023 (EST) − − :My first thought is to upload the composite image as a replacement for one of the original images. (The "front" image in the case of the ''Catapult''.) Then rename the file, mark the unused ("rear") image for deletion, and replace the individual images with the composite in all affected articles. This preserves the history of at least one image without leaving orphans lying around. Odds are both images were uploaded by the same user so there isn't much of anything lost. --[[User:Cache|Cache]] ([[User talk:Cache|talk]]) 20:52, 1 February 2023 (EST) − − ::Thanks for the note. I think I will do this with one slight modification. I will upload the rear image into the front image first and then upload the composite image into the front image (then rename and relink). Then the original rear image will also be archived within the history of the final image. --[[User:Dude RB|Dude RB]] ([[User talk:Dude RB|talk]]) 19:26, 2 February 2023 (EST) − − ==Thanks== − − Just wanted to express appreciation for our collaboration and your timely assistance with a number of edits. [[File:AA 1bol.jpg|Assistance Appreciated Award, 2nd ribbon]] --[[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 20:26, 15 October 2023 (EDT) − − == Award == − − Hey Cache, − − I just wanted to express my appreciation for your recent efforts helping out around the wiki in some of the problem areas. − [[File:SubAdd.jpg|Substantial Addition Award, 1st ribbon]], I have placed your first Substantial addition award on your board. − − Thank you. − --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 08:16, 29 December 2023 (EST) − − ==Viper Origin Note== − Thank you. The criticism was very productive. [[User:HussarZwei|HussarZwei]] ([[User talk:HussarZwei|talk]]) 01:08, 8 January 2024 (EST)
