the Warhammer was effectively banned from Classic Battletech and from the PC games due to copyright issues (at least that is my understanding). Could someone create a mech that is functionally the same (2 PPC's etc) but looks different enough to avoid the copyright problems and any other legal issues that may be out there? I and a friend of mine LOVE the Warhammer and would like to see it come back..... even if it has a different name.
I know NOTHING about how to create the picture(s) that are necessary and just as much about the coding end (although I am trying to learn - not a lot out there to help a noobie)
I have never heard of the the BattleAxe and Hammerhands, so doing without them is nothing I worry about. Personally, I would worry about others like the Wasp and Stinger that were "common" 20 years ago when 3rd ed of Battletech came out and had the 12 plastic mechs included. THOSE are the ones I would like to see along with any of the plastic mechs fro the Citytech (????) set of the same period.
