More #battletech OC, this time of my Star Adder, Xerxes Truscott! Once again done by the always-awesome @gabsilla.bsky.social!

This may be the first time there's been a visual depiction of the Star Adder dress uniform!

Fucked up that constraints breed creativity. If I can't think of any constraints I get stuck, even if I have all the generic inspiration in the world. Augh!!!

Oh, and here's the original Night Chanter Prime for comparison. I tried to keep it relatively similar for the flavor :)

Oogh. Making my version of the Night Chanter II has reminded me just how expensive BV-wise both Ferro-Lamellor and Superchargers are. The latter's only pod-mounted, but it's on the prime config so ehhhhhh.

Speaking of which, here's the picture for any of you sickos from yesterday who wanted it:

@colbosch.bsky.social it is done. You haven't even seen the Prime but it's actually quite close to the original Night Chanter Prime: LPL, ERLL, 2x MPL, mPL. This switches it up a bit

I can populate them, yeah. Just a lot of images so I didn't post 'em

I was thinking the whole time that I wanted a T configuration, but I never decided what I wanted to put on it. I will post when I have done this

Yes I know I made it ten tons heavier. If Clan Steel Viper is allowed to staple thirty-five tons to the Phoenix Hawk, I can give the Night Chanter back the five it lost from the Crab and then give it five more as a treat.

I have done something terrible. Absolutely demonic levels of autism. It felt fantastic.

Unfortunately TROs are a little big for a bsky post but I could easily write one.

Very. The Kell Hounds have grown in presence and influence in the BattleTech universe, well beyond what I ever imagined. Being able to return to them and write more stories is a huge thrill.

One more reason I adore this job.

Yeah!!! First drafts can be as stuffed as I want, even if it's all mediocre. Obsessing over story length when I'm not even on the second draft is just silly!

Downright criminal what they did to the Night Chanter. An Omni version of my beloved Crab, relegated to the pits of extinction for Clan Coyote's crimes...

I must fix this immediately, I don't care if it's canon, I need my girl to Live

Right! Thank you so much for the lengthy explanation.

I always feel this need to temper myself, to stop my autistic ass from getting too deep in the weeds and writing a million words about nothing on a tangent. Perhaps I shouldn't stop myself, if what I need is more scenes to develop the arc...

Hi! Is there something that helps you communicate to the reader what a character is feeling, the emotions behind the choices you have them make? As a very new writer I always worry that mine appear erratic and inconsistent, like they do things for no reason or their reasoning is completely opaque.

We'll keep it going until questions run out.

This is an impossible thing. I cannot express this enough: DATA CENTERS IN SPACE ARE IMPOSSIBLE. They require three things: power, maintenance, and a way to shed heat. We do not have any sort of plausible solutions to any of these three problems, and in combination they're insurmountable.
