Hey ManganMan,

I wanted to give you a heads up that I am thinking of putting a delete tag on yor new category [[:Category:Video games based Mechs]], my main reason for this is because the category is already entierly covered by [[:Category:Apocryphal BattleMechs]]. I know that the Apocryphal BattleMechs serves a slightly different function but when you consider that the [[Roughneck]] has more in common with the [[Guardian (BattleMech)]] from the old [[BattleTechnology]] magazine than the abomination that is the [[SpiderMech]], to my mind that slight difference becomes much more useful. So why a delete tag?  Housekeeping, as it stands at the time I am writing this we have 75 subcategories in the BattleMechs category, and that is after I have fairly recently cleaned up a lot of the "single purpose" ones.

====Description====
 
The '''''Orca''''' is a super-heavy [[BattleMech]] allegedly built and deployed by [[Clan Wolverine]], the not-named Clan.
 
 
 
====Canonicity====
 
The '''Project Omega''' document was an [[w:April Fools|April Fools joke]] by [[Dave McCulloch]] and [[Warner Doles (person)|Warner Doles]] uploaded to the official classicbattletech.com site. Pertaining to be an official [[Technical Readout]]-style document within the [[BattleTech]] universe (a report within [[Word of Blake]]), it described the super-heavy ''Orca''-class BattleMech, complete with combat history and variants.
 
 
 
Although clearly marked as non-canonical, the design gained notoriety among fans similar to the ''[[Gausszilla]]''. Within the document it was classified as a "Dreadnought"; 'Mechs massing above 100 tons are otherwise known as [[:Category:Colossal BattleMechs|Colossal]] or [[:Category:Superheavy BattleMechs|Superheavy]] 'Mechs.
 
 
 
The ''Orca'' name has been semi-canonized in Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere, with the mention that prior to the development of the [[Poseidon (BattleMech)|''Poseidon'']] tripod super heavy 'Mech, the [[Republic of the Sphere]] built a prototype super heavy 'Mech named the ''Orca'' that heavily inspired the ''Poseidon''. Described as a lumbering biped derived from the [[Omega (BattleMech)|''Omega'']] that was mothballed after shortly after its prototype models were produced, the appearance and unit specifications of this Republic ''Orca'' prototype design are currently unknown.<ref name=TRO3145RotS-44>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 44 "PSD-V2 Poseidon"</ref>
 
 
 
====Variants====
 
The ''Orca'' as presented does not appear to be an Omni design.
 
*One variant exchanges the artillery piece for a quartet of rotary gauss guns, "deadly against light vehicles".
 
*The other variant exchanges the artillery piece for two more ER PPCs plus heat sinks.

Video Game 'Mechs category

Hey ManganMan,

I wanted to give you a heads up that I am thinking of putting a delete tag on yor new category Category:Video games based Mechs, my main reason for this is because the category is already entierly covered by Category:Apocryphal BattleMechs. I know that the Apocryphal BattleMechs serves a slightly different function but when you consider that the Roughneck has more in common with the Guardian (BattleMech) from the old BattleTechnology magazine than the abomination that is the SpiderMech, to my mind that slight difference becomes much more useful. So why a delete tag? Housekeeping, as it stands at the time I am writing this we have 75 subcategories in the BattleMechs category, and that is after I have fairly recently cleaned up a lot of the "single purpose" ones.

Anyway, I just didn't want you to think I am being an ass in the likely event I stick a delete tag on some of your recent work, in general you do good work and I do appreciate it.--Dmon (talk) 23:01, 19 October 2019 (EDT)
