Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives 4
Ancient Wonders
Before there was even a Star League¸ the technologies taken for granted in the thirty-first century went through their awkward paces in a universe newly opened to humankind. In an age when the BattleMech was nearly unknown¸ when the DropShip was a new concept¸ and when tanks and fighters dominated the battle zones¸ the technology of the day was primitive by modern standards...and each new design with an experiment unto itself.
Experimental Tech Readout: Primitives¸ Volume IV samples more of the early technology designs that dominated the universe of BattleTech during the pre-Star League Age of War period. Each design featured in this book demonstrates the primitive technology level of the first generation of BattleMechs¸ the last generation of Combat Vehicles (before the 'Mech supplanted them)¸ and the low-tech aerospace units that flew above them. Although many were ultimately upgraded to "modern standards" and shown in Technical Readout: 3075 ¸ the units featured here reflect these designs as they were when first introduced to the universe they fought for. Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 13 Primitive BattleMechs¸ vehicles¸ aerospace units presented in this book¸ ready for play in advanced BattleTech games.
