I love S2K-oriented servers, longform, shortform, you name it. I was averse to the idea before I ever set foot into TRP2 and suddenly I came to the realization that I just loved the green eggs and ham that it was.
During TRP2, Dave added mechs as a result of a conversation I had with him about how cool Matrix Revolution's APU's were, and later on I joint-donated with several others to get the T-300 added which also resembled a mech. Early into TRP3's development, we had a working concept for a more faithful Harvester model made by
erkor
and began to muse somewhat jokingly of the idea of doing some kind of Mechwarrior RR.
Fastforward to just a few days ago, and
TankNut
starts showing me some addon development he's been tinkering with on the side of a mech he was making (of which he has since posted in public development). Little did I know, he was involved in the production of a separate addon that brings the very early 2000s Xbox game that made me fall in love with mech settings in the first place into Garry's Mod.
I felt like a kid on Christmas.
The nicheness of this setting makes it hard for me to want to convince any kind of work done toward it, though, and certainly not any time soon as to not overcrowd our already burgeoning work load between ZRP3, Halo's CC2 testbed and other things, but seeing these addons makes my eyes twinkle in a way that I never thought I'd ever see manifest on this medium.
And now, a selfish part of me really, really wants it, so I began to wonder if anyone else would click with it as well. I know some people in the community do have an appreciation for mech stuff, namely
Delilah
and
Nitra
I know are deeply in love with the Lancer TTRPG, but consider this post an optimistic message in a bottle and less so a fully presented idea. I have no expectations or ambitions unless people really think it'd be cool to do, and I'd quickly get to work etching out the blueprint if that did come true, but I'm just as willing to accept the reality I may be one of maybe a handful that'd bite on this.
