Good lord; that's the most non-PC game I've come across in many a year. Sir Patrick Moore would approve.

Well done guys!

(P.S. Has anyone else noticed that the power plant pods make great Firefly engines?)

Downloading as I type. Good to see Matt get another out the door. I really haven't a clue what I will do with this (maybe textures or mini builds) but I need it for the whole collection. End of the day I know that the work on it is top notch.

Holy freaking awesome stuff Matt.

I just read through the free instructions PDFs. That set really covers
a lot of ground. Literally! I like the new (and more advanced)model geometry your using.

And this set is just dripping with theme.

Oh mobile barriers.... Lots of potential for the Wargamer! Let alone an easy way to make some crazy mazes for a variety of games!

I'll be picking this up tonight! (I at work)

Just downloaded and browsed through the set quickly -- Looks fantastic!

I especially like the way the reflections are on the transparencies for the Control Center windows.

The anticipation of getting this has had me working on expanding my PC:ON build, so I'm looking forward to putting this together.

And the conveyor belts may inspire me to finally make the 3D Robo-Rally set that's been in the back of my mind.

One really minor quibble -- in the Mecha files, 'chassis' is spelled 'chasis' on the filename. Sorry -- my mother is a school teacher and drilled that kind of thing into me.

Great work!

Downloaded. I don't know where to start. So many options. Matt you never disappoint. High quality product and flexible for so many gaming scenarios.

Sweetness. When I get home from work I'm going to be $15 lighter. Wink

Bought and paid for. God bless the crazy exchange rates between the UK and the US at the moment. (From a purely selfish point of view of course)

Another excellent product

I'm about to order it, it really looks fantastic.

(By the way, your PCON:RS ordering page says "Shellendrak Red Sector includes the following:" -- is this a hint at some sort of Gothic/Sci-Fi crossover being planned? Twisted Evil

)

shadegate · Posted: 05-10-2007, 11:29 AM Post subject:

I was wondering that as well.

A sort of Cthulhu Mech war

Need to kit bash some chin tentacles for one of the mech heads!

Squirmydad · Posted: 05-10-2007, 02:11 PM Post subject:

Or add tentacles to a tank... Very Happy

Got it, it's groovy, I'm jumping straight into mech construction.

Wukong · Posted: 05-10-2007, 03:23 PM Post subject:

Got mine. Loving it.

Now all I need is time to print and build it. Oh yeah, and to finish my Shadowcore Prime build and all the rest of them.

Great stuff in there.

The standee's have some real character and expressions! I like them a lot. The samurai-eque armour is cool!

Got mine! Can't wait to get the chance to start planning my Mech Factory!!

I would have liked to have seen a "Bringing it all together" with a few build options like you use to do, but I'm sure I can figure it out.

The props are really nice. Going to love playing with these for my Mechwarrior city.

Going to love to use this with PCON and Mars Station!

Nice job guys.

Kane · Posted: 05-10-2007, 09:28 PM Post subject:

Seriously considering this if nothing else but for the sci-fi soldiers. Very cool looking! Of course, the whole terrain kit and mechs are incredible as well. Up to my ears on unfinished projects!

Hmmm, still no pictures of the exteriors?

I am going to hold off until I get to see pictures of the outside of the critter, since exterior walls are one of the things that I am most interested in.

*EDIT* Wow, that came out a lot more negative than intended... let me reword that. Rolling Eyes

*EDIT 2* Or I could just download the free instructions, and take a look in those... but that would make too much sense. Rolling Eyes

It is obvious that I am too tired and cranky to be fit company at the moment.

Well, now I've had a chance to look at everything, I have to say...

Before it was released, I was wondering what was taking so long. Now that I see this mammoth production, I can't believe you finished it this quickly.

Do you sleep at all, Matt? Or do you just spend a half hour in the cryo chamber and come out feeling fully energized?

those free instructions PDFs are a really good hook to me. roped me in and i just had to buy the set then.
I hope that you will keep putting up the free instructions on all sets. it really gives a good visual of what all is included with the set!

Looks really good!!!

Unfortunately my work server is like a bloody yo-yo at the moment so I'm gonna have to find a cyber-cafe tomorrow to download this.

Excellent work!!!

Highland_Piper · Posted: 05-11-2007, 05:11 AM Post subject:

16 floor tiles printed. Had to scale them down for Mechwarrior of course but these will be great for industrial worlds!! Scaled down 48.7% I belive it was and then put together in 6" tiles (Mechwarrior battle mats are 3'x3' increments).

I'll be mixing Mars Station, PCON, Red Sector and Ebbles Maginot Line (retextured with Red Sector),

Nice Avatar Deathcon

78Mb!!!!!

Suggestion: Please add the file sizes to the store info Wink

I've almost got a full board done already! Just working on the mechbay now.

Dropship landing platform is still in the planning stages and requires a bit of kitbashing.

This set is great, and even better when combined with PCON and Mars Station!
