I just got this for the PS4 and am enjoying it muchly.
Just missed out on the DLCs for half price though, but I’ve only just scored a Wolverine in 3028, so not too deep into my first game…
https://youtu.be/sbCvbzEwNEMThe Wolverine is my favourite mech, and also used it to smash and earn another, a Warhammer… then bought a hero Dragon and I’m now just a Crusader away from my ultimate lance… shoulda just bought those DLC’s.
Anyway can only imagine the career mode allows you to reach planets at a particular point in time and hope to possibly play out a small skirmish in one of those grander tales.
On the Periphery where you un/knowingly encounter the first clans.
On Trellwan witnessing the birth of the Grey Death Legion.
Supporting Zeta battalion in their last stand.
Go to Solaris7 and try to slot yourself into the hall of fame.
Or even hear Rhonda Snord blasting one of her tunes during a battle…
I imagine this is more a mod thing with PCs, but it’d be so cool if systems could be updated as more of the battleverse was incorporated as specific missions you may encounter. You could eventually capture the entire history of the Battletech universe from 3015-3050, and watch it unfold wherever you go. Solaris should freeze time a little though.
I’d also like to be able to jump inside the dropship and be able to jump on it when outside.
