BattleTech: Beyond Electrodrome: Sponsorships
Thanks to Chase Gray of Gray Shark Studios for letting me use his Catapult for this post. He tells me he’s going to be releasing a sticker pack in the near future, so stop by, spread some love, and don’t just“derrrrr make sure you derrrr Steiner Scout Lance derrrrr lol”. We get it. Steiner loves Atlases. We all do.
Also, as always, thanks to my noble patrons for their input/contributions on the sponsorships. May you live a thousand years and reign supreme over your lives. If you’re not a patron yet, click HERE to join the ranks and reap the benefits.
Lets set the mood…
Don’t fuck around. Don’t EVER fuck around.
Ain’t got time to write the sterling fiction I normally try to include, folks: I’m going on vacation later in the week and the time just isn’t there.
BUT THE CONTENT MUST GO ON!
So…
Lets talk sponsorships…
In my previous post I laid out the rules for CAREER PROGRESSION, which, rather than being the icing on the skill-progression-and-pilot-improvement cake, I have designed to be a whole ‘nother cake.
And a major component of that cake is SPONSORSHIPS.
Below are several of the PDFs I have developed to give you a wide variety of tiered improvements to your BattleMechs to give you quirks and advantages in your bouts. Some are expanded options for payload/ammunition. Some will grant you special abilities to manage heat or move across the battlefield. Some are just…fucking…fun. Might end up getting you killed, but roll them bones baby. No such thing as a safe adventure.
See what you get.
Unless stated otherwise, these upgrades, particularly weapon upgrades, will affect an individual piece of equipment. So you will end up with ONE medium laser that overheats enemy mechs or blinds their pilots rather than, ya know, EIGHT.
Also, according to these rules, you cannot have two different sponsors for a single system. Magna and Diverse Optics aren’t cool with sharing. They get jealous. Pick one or the other.
But also, hey, the goal of the game is to have fun, and I honestly think each of these sponsorships unlocks all sorts of extra levels of fun.
So if you wanna putz around and have some super overpowered ‘mechs that can melt an enemy to slag with its jump jets or with a vorpal sword and an armor-piercing war pick, or if you want three match-grade squeeze-bore RAC-5s with muzzle-brakes that shape the flash into ballerinas and Vlad the Impaler…
Break BattleTech: Beyond Electrodrome. Maximize your fun levels, like gunning it in a Tesla on DMT, ripping around the curves of the Autobahn. Warp and abuse its rules until its unrecognizable goop. And then eat that goop. And then tell me how it tastes.
I hope it tastes lovely, you goop-eating freak.
Without further ado, here are the first NINE sponsorships…
Autocannon Sponsorships
Mydron Ballistics versus Imperator? Better ammo, or better blammo?
Engine Sponsorships
Vox versus Plasma Star? Smooth operator or overcharged jank-fest?
Gyro Sponsorships
Dervish versus Titan Massives? Float like a butterfly or stable as a table?
Heat Sink Sponsorships
Kallon Industries versus Kong Interstellar? Ditch the heat or USE it?
Jump Jet Sponsorships
Northrup versus Luxor? Nimbly-bimbly, or fire from the heavens?
Laser Sponsorships
Diverse Optics versus Magna? Sheisty Blinders or super-hot super-death?
Melee Sponsorships
Thorbjorn versus Coventry? Armor-piercing or incendiary amputations?
Missile Sponsorships
Doombud versus Holly? Overwhelming firepower or deadly precision?
PPC Sponsorships
Kali-Yama Weapons Industries versus Parti-Kill? Electro-cool or electro-death?
More to come. MUCH more to come.
