Hello,
I've long been a big fan of the Battletech universe, and have run a two games with Mechwarrior. I've never run actual "mechwarriors" in Mechwarrior, though. I ran a urban gang game in 2nd, and a Call of Cthulhu mashup in 3rd. Now, I have a player looking to play in a space pirate game. As a big fan of the setting, I was wondering if this will work. I've never played any of the "proper" battltech books, but I think I need Aerotech/Battle Space/Total Warfare, as I don't see any space combat rules in the core book.
Would this work? I want space combat to fun and neat and exciting, and blend well with the scale of the characters.
