Project 3039

After the release of the Phoenix Hawk model by Solahma Joe, I became very interested in other designs that were not present in the main game. As I got into modding, I thought the JK Variants by JK were cool, but they were just variants. What about new chassis and loadouts? Unfortunately, I lack any artistic or coding ability, so the only way to see my beloved Crusader upon the fields of battle would be to modify an existing ��Mech to match the Crusader��s loadout.

NEW VERSION 0.3��Periphery ��Mechs from 3068 and 3075, modded to 3025 tech level. More coming soon.
I know that many of these have been released with MWO models now, but these older ones remain for the time being.

Other low-tech designs that exist in 3025, or are very easy to convert to 3025 technology.

Thanks to the whole Battletech modding community, and especially to Solahma Joe for his hard work on bringing in the Unseen, and for JK for providing the framework and inspiration to actually make the mod. Additional thanks to mattxyr, arguskos,colobos, DutchRits and b4ckf1sh for their continuing work.
