yeah, I don't think a 12-year-old that can make not-very-powerful easy-to-use GUI programs can help much...

Well they could, but then we'd have to explain why putting stickers on your screen doesn't make the app run faster.

Leela: And what's your scientific basis for thinking that?

People are stupid if they think they can have their own way.

... that is, unless they have HEAP rounds, high-explosive homing missiles, and terawatt lasers on a walking weapons platform, that is...

I would just like to second that I can't believe this mod is for real. Even though it's still in beta and has its share of glitches, it's still the best damn Battletech game I've EVER played!

Welcome to the mod! It is the best thing since sliced bread! From your post offering the use of technical readout manuals I can't help but wonder if you've seen www.sarna.net? If not, take a quick look, its a massive BTech wiki that has everything under the sun including TO's.

I was going to post my own thread but in the interests of keeping similar posts consolidated I will post here. As with the OP, I am shocked and ecstatic that this mod exists. I read about it briefly and actually saw it on the message scroll from steam, but my initial thoughts were that it would be like any other attempted total conversion, poorly done and overly ambitious.

I am so happy to be wrong. I've played about 2 full days now and I'm finally getting comfortable with the game as a whole. I feel that I've got a strong enough grasp of it to have a positive K/D and be one of the top players on my team, and in that same time I've been amazed at how polished and complete the game is even at this stage.

I've always been a sucker for Battlefield esque games, but truth be told this beats out every Battlefield game I've played by a long shot. The sheer variety of units, variants and subtypes, weapon variety etc is awesome and the asteroid map is pure brilliance.

I'm totally down to help but I sadly have 0 programming experience. Kudos to the dev team and I will be playing plenty from now on!

Yea, after putting in some good hours into the game I think its a great start. Most mods are very unplayable and was blown away by the graphics and gameplay. As this is still in beta I keeped my hopes down but I seriously am shocked at how smooth everything is thus far.

The game has the puzzle pieces to expand and become a big hit with the right minds on this project.

Thus far I believe there is a great potential for this mod and like I said before, being a big BT fan, I was seriously let down by the last attempts at MS to bring this game into the 31st (cough cough 21st) century graphics and gameplay.

I have seen other sites similar to sarna.net but not a wiki version with such detail to everything.

Looking forward to helping as much as a can, I am a big debugging guy at work so maybe could help a lot in this aspect.

Keep on crushing ass dev team!

You can thank Sky Walker for that. He was a great catch when we grabbed him taking care of the wiki for us. He did an outstanding jobs designing it and getting the tech stuff down to make it easier for people to use it.

It's a great place that I roam often to check out the most recent changes :D

A lot guys like Snowball do independant testing to verify non public mechanics. Keep a look out for those too
