Greetings;

  Even though I have followed BattleTech since the early 1990's I have never played the game.  I
 have played the computer games MechWarrior 2 thru MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries and read most of the
 earlier novels and sourcebooks.  I also own all of the Technical Readouts.
  
  If I were living in the BattleTech universe I would probably be a tech rather than a MechWarrior.  The reason being that the part of BattleTech I enjoy most is creating my own BattleMech designs.  I like the fact that there is no "best" 'Mech, that the design system is more about balance.  You have to balance speed with armor protection and weapons to make a good 'Mech design.  I have I even sent FASA a few ideas for new weapons and equipment.
