LOL.

"Mr Ostroc! Mr Ostroc! Is it true you don't have enough heat sinks to compensate for your large lasers?"

"Uh, thank you for the chance to answer that. Actually I marked down clan heat sinks which I, uh, salvaged from some clan mechs."

I liked Battletechnology Magazine. Sure the art had...issues, but the articles were great.

Most interesting was the article on targeting computers, and the lecture "The best came first".

Sigh, when will PGI do the Clint, and quirk it out to take into account that Sloane 220 Lockover tagetting computer (the only Targetting and Tracking system the clans didn't replace in the IIC series).

I'm not pressing "next" through 11 pages when it could have been all on one page.

I know right? That's why I only have a single weapon group and only try to use weapons with a long cycle time, really cuts down on all that clicking.

*sighs*

Am I really one of the only people that read Battletechnology magazine as an interesting piece of "in universe" fiction.

You all seem to forget, 80's/90's battletech art was crap, it will always be crap... hell look at the original stalker artwork "dickonlegs" is being nice to it.

the best designs, were the Unseen, and even some of those were bad.
