This may or may not be the right place for this. My company is considering making a game based purly on Classic BattleTech. We were wanting to get input from those who actually play the board version as to what they want. We have decided (mostly for simplisity sake) to make it an isometric style (using the hex based maps). Any and all comments would be greatly appreciative.
We have a message board setup on our site specifically for this so that minimal bandwith is taken from Sarna.net. Please go to:

It will be 100% turn based with an all rolls being done by the computer. It will include most of the options you have for charecter creation (done to early childhood).
As far as basing it on a specific part of the battletech history. we wont do that. We will start it in a certain year and let events happenas they should. If your afiliation happens to have a civil war, you can take part in it.
We believe in options so we will try and give you guys as many possibilities as posible.

What system would be used for character creation?
Light a fire for a man, and you keep him warm for one night,
Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Going to integrate it into the game. However, depending on how hard you make the game decides how much of a charecter you can create (or if you can at all). Ex:
Easy - No options, Stock charecters
Medium - Choice between custom and stock
Hard - Complete Custom.

What I meant was which RPG system would you be using as a base for character creation?
MechWarrior
MechWarrior2
MechWarrior3
Your own custom rules?
Light a fire for a man, and you keep him warm for one night,
Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

As far as where our information and rules come from, we are going to be using the MechWarrior 3rd edition rule set and the BattleTech Revised Edition Master Rules (no edition number was seen on the front of the book).
Everything will be based on the book rules.
