BattleTech.... Oh.... Oh yes.......

I have been wanting this for a long, long time... Of course, now that I know about it, I will be tormented by the waiting. That's the part I hate about kickstarter =(

Update - Looks like it hit 1.2, and will now have background stories. Next up, 1.35 mil for voice acting!

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!

I LOVE Battletech: Crescent Hawks Inception (even though it is probably a bad game) and will be backing this immediately.

I really need to get round to playing the latest Shadowrun game as well...

Stay under 2.5 stay under 2.5....

This looks really good. I hope they can make a really nice single player game out of this.
Now to get http://www.gog.com/game/shogo_mobile_armor_division out of my head.

Had no idea ppl liked battletech this much. I'd definatly grab a copy if its by the same guys that did Shadowrun.

Dragonfall had one of the best stories, I hope its the same for this. That and giant mechs are usually a winner.

What this about?

If you want to pledge, you must have a credit card, which means you are a working adult.

That put most backers in the too little time between work and family to play PVP with friends.

The PvP mode will bring Solaris VII and probably some singleplayer goodies there, too, so I hope it gets fully pledged, although I most likely won`t use it.
If multiplayer is comparable to the boardgame it could be a nice evening of playing together with friends who live far away.
No actiongame and hopefully turn based and near the core rules like the single player

Debit card works fine too fortunately for us unfortunate ones that don't have permanent/steady jobs, situation that is becoming more and more common. I for one would never have been eligible to get one.

Same here.
Most Germans don't seem to have credit cards at all, they are really uncommon around here and since steady jobs have been on a decline for many years, I guess many people wouldn't get one anyway.

Yep, Credit card if a generalization of my part.

I only use Debit card too as I think the financial management, and temptation of a credit card is not worth it.

My mentality is if I don't have money for it then I don't need it. I don't take loans. Only housing and car is the exception.

This stingy miser use his Nokia phone for about 7 years and huff at youngster changing phone every year.

You can even use Paypal, just not on kickstarter site. In announcement it is posted that it will be added to pledged by Harebrained Schemes.

Wow, they keep hitting milestones. Already hit the voice acting one. Honestly, I really REALLY want them to hit the open ended campaign milestone. I don't really care about the 2.5 PVP one...though I reckon that WOULD bring some additional SP stuff as well. And might be kinda fun, as long as it doesn't change the entire focus of the game.
