  |
|
I was asked by a person I roleplay with to look at a site update he was making that included Battlemech info pages.
To get to the point, he had a siite with a Victor 10L andf I asked him if he why he didn't use HMPro for the format and sent him the HMPro htm file.
He responded with where did you get that data and then went on to tell me that the data was in error.
I looked it over and have to agree as the manufacture data and fluff was for the Victor 9K.
So... with HMPro being the OFFICAL program, how are we to know if a 'mechs listed info is correct or not?

Do you have the latest mech data files?
Also, like everything else, human error is possible. I would bring this question up on the HMPro message boards themselves.

IIRC there was an earlier release of the mechs where the fluff for some Project Phoenix mechs had errors. You could try downloading the files again and re-installing them.

If it's a variant, then the fluff won't change other then the model number. It's the same basic mech with changes made to the weapons normally.

The VTR-10L is a variant without any fluff only relaesed in the Record Sheets: 3067.
So they took the fluff of the -9K instead of nothing!

Yep. Even overhaul variants like the BNC-3S still use the fluff from the base model (in this case, the BNC-3E).
Only upgraded versions (like the 3050-era BNC-5S) have updated fluff, which is copied from the TRO directly.
