we're still hammering out the paint scheme since this particular mech is pilted by the commander of a regular line regiment, as opposed to a Royal unit

No, its the prime model, but like all the DK mechs, this one went an extensive upgrade, with a new communications system installed, XL engine, and new electric detection gear like the BAP and a C3i.

Yeah, I noticed a while after I've sent that message!
The upgrades do seem neat, and the design itself is awesome. A very impressive upgrade from the original on my opinion.

Yeah, I really liked the Stooping Hawk design, and after reading what happens to the Blood Spirit Clan in the original MW storyline, then it would be small wonder if you saw his design in the hands of other clans.

Saddly, that is indeed true.
And, yeah, the design is really interesting.Β

I Think that the story that developed, that was crafted by me as the GM for so many years, and fleshed outΒ by the nearly 50 players who had played in the game, not including the core 4, made for an interesting alternative to the existing BT universe, and will continue to need develop by players and myself: because as long as I live, I will keep the story a living, breathing monument to the best friend - and brother by bond, no blood - that a guy can have.

As I've said beforehand, that's truly a praiseworthy initiative. With that said, have the works on the site being moving along?
Also, my offer to help translating stuff into Portuguese still stands, in case you'll ever require it.Β

Well I recently hit the grand-mark of 50% on the hardest file that's going in to the 4 books thus far, and that's the file where all the proto-type technology is being written. You have no idea what it takes to check and recheck stats, do math, sometimes go back and delete the whole thing cause you get a better idea or see a glaring hole in the design. And just coming up with 2Β - 4 of those a night (and you saw how big the file list was, and it got a little bigger)can drain you so bad that it takes 2 or 3 nights just to get your wits back, in which time I always try to be workinon something else: researching, or taking notes, updating old files and scanning paper notes from those days so I can read them easier on my computer. Most people don't realize or know that I recently lost most of my vision... in fact I am blind in one eye completely (Just call me Marcus Fury!)Β and going thru stage-4 Kidney failure... takes a lot of effort to get this stuff done in a timely fashion! LoL. And yes, please, you know if you want to translate the demo equipment list, I can hang on to the translation, and you can pass it around to friends and whatever, let them know my "Dev Blog" or "Dev HQ" is here on D-A!

I really didn't knew about those issues. I'm sure they truly make things more difficult. Honestly, though, I don't even know what else to say. Β It's really a sticky situation to be in.
I'll give a look to what is already around, although I might take a while for me to produce resutls. I just had a spike in my workload. :/

Aw, well I appreciate that thought, all you need to do is spread the word about this project so it drums up more interest in the community, and draws people to want to look at it when its done.

I'll do what I can.
On another note, how's your health? Hope you're not going too badly. :/

Thank you for asking! Most people don't - as for my health, well after that crazy incident in September I'd say its been a lot better. My vitals and blood panel have been holding steady.... now just waiting to finish the last hurtle to get myself listed on a transplant candidates list and I am all set! Luckily no matter what I do as long as I stay in treatment it'd counted as "time served" for the transplant - so 3 1/2 years down! 1 1/2 years to go!

Still feeling better, I hope?

Indeed I am, thank you for asking! And you?

Unsure, my new job is destroying me, but we shall see.Β
I'm happy you're doing fine, though.Β
