Solaris Skunk Werks

ssw_site_logoSolaris Skunk Werks is a new and exciting open source program for Classic Battletech.  SSW is a Battlemech designer and record sheet printer.  Here is the lowdown.

  • It’s based on Java, so it’s platform independent (Mac users rejoice!)
  • Features support for most Tactical Operations gear, more added every week
  • Omni-Mechs are stored as a single file, easy toggling between configurations
  • The main developer LostInSpace is a great guy, and he codes fast!

Check it out the latest stable release from SourceForge if you have the time.  You will be glad you did.

About Those Developers

I am pleased to announce that I have joined the group of developers working on Solaris Skunk Werks.  I’ve been looking over the code and have begun the process of inputting TacOps weapons.  I’m already having fun adding a little bit to the code each night and contributing to a program I believe is sorely needed by lots of Classic Battletech players.

My thanks go to LostInSpace for letting me help out.
