 Ouch. It will take some time until we see a SL-tech mech walking around.

[Fatebringer]

that does seem to be the way of things

[Mekorig]

And what about researching for a new model (post-3050) using intro-tech?

[Fatebringer]

I think you need to get the tech advancements first, then you can push for the designs.

I know, i am talking about non-3039 intro tech models, like the Grasshopper -5N.

We could resurrect the Mackie!  (okay, not the spiffy 9H from TRO3075, but there's gotta be a decent L1 version)

[Daemonknight]

technically those would fall under the aegis of 'future faction designs'

[Arkansas Warrior]

Not Star League Designs?  Even if they were deployed in that era?  (I'm thinking specifically of the resurrected designs from '75, like the Hammerhands, Firebee, Icarus, Gladiator, Ymir, etc that oftentimes date to the Reunification war)

[DisGruntled]

Er the Grasshopper 5N is on the RATs in War of 3039.  It should be in limited use already by the DCMS, FS, and  LC.

[Daemonknight]

...if it was deployed in the SL era, then obviously it would be an SL era mech...i guess I'm confused as to why you'd ask the question.

[Arkansas Warrior]

Eh, you never know.  If, say, the FedSuns gets a Star League design via the memory core or tech tree, but doesn't want to wait to develop all the relevant tech and upgrade their factories, they might pick the HMH-3D Hammerhands.  I just want to be sure it's possible, so that I know I have the option if it ever comes up.

I was under the impression that the -5N was a post-50 variant.

IIRC it was introduced in a 3060s era product, but was then back-written into earlier eras.

 The thing is, how can i get a new intro tech (another faction model or a new intro tech unit) unit into my faction armory?
