Description[edit]

Technical Readout: 3058 provides all the gaming information needed on the newest combat vehicles and BattleMechs being designed and produced in the Inner Sphere after the Truce of Tukayyid, as well as information on the Mackie, the first BattleMech ever built. Information on some less well-known Clan 'Mechs complements the title.

The title was replaced in 2006 with Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade which added new units and replaced the color plates with black & white illustrations.

From the back cover[edit]

“

Incredible discoveries of ancient, long-buried Star League records have uncovered dozens of BattleMech and vehicle designs thought lost to antiquity. Re-tooled for the 31st century, these blueprints have produced the latest and most effective weapons in the Inner Sphere's life-or-death struggle against the invading Clans.

BattleTech Technical Readout: 3058 provides illustrations, descriptions and game statistics for these classic units and for new Inner Sphere and Clan BattleMechs, including modular BattleMech designs featured in full color. Technical Readout: 3058 also offers a host of tanks, hovercraft, and other armored vehicles upgraded with the latest weapons and equipment.
