Looks fan-fucking-TASTIC!!
I've never played Battletech really since the early days of the boardgame. My experience with computerized versions of the game is limited to the old
Virtual World that they used to have in Dallas. But I've kept up vaguely with happenings in the world, read many of the novels (my favorites being the ones
that followed Greyson Death Carlyle and The Grey Death Legion), and I've perused the tech manuals of friends who were more deeply into it then I was. So I
have a basic understanding of things.
I too hold the whole Clan period somewhat at arms length. I dislike certain aspects of it, while other parts are kind of cool. But I much prefer the classic
"House Wars" period of Battletech and the machines that went with it.
This looks like a move in the RIGHT direction to me. And also looks like a good time to jump back in to the hobby as a whole!
