AMEN on re-releasing the books.

Of course, the editing job would be titanic ... but still!

I also think rereleasing the books would be a brilliant idea. Since joining this forum this winter, I dug out all of my old paperbacks and started rereading them starting with the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy. I have now worked my way all the way up to "I Am Jade Falcon" and I am enjoying them just as much as before.

Remember it's not just about going forward. There is SO much they can go back to and add detail into certain eras. Like the Age of War, and the glory days of the Star League.

If the people writing for BattleTech now are the type of person I think the OP imagines Catalyst Game Labs to be, the franchise would have died six years ago.

I have met a few of them.

Thankfully, they are not those kinds of people. They would love nothing more than to see the game move in as many new directions as possible, and none of them involve trying to make older parts of the game obselete.

They'll do the same thing all IP holders do when they run out of ideas: Come up with a 'reboot' or a 'reimagining'.

Edit: Oh, almost forgot my personal favorite: A XXth Anniversary Edition with new cover art.

I would love to see all the BT books re-released. Because they are outta print, I have to hunt them down and purchase them on Amazon, and they are not cheap....
