There are purists in any hobby, and BattleTech is certainly no exception.Not only that, Project Phoenix designs and Dark Age both came out after FASA closed their doors and many veterans felt uncertain of the future. Pretty sure those Mechs became a target for a few that saw those designs as the death of the Battletech they knew. Why I avoided the Classic Battletech forums at the time, too much fear mongering and gate keeping. I had my own strong opinions of when I first saw the Phoenix designs but found the level of hate among some online to range from comical to concerning. Luckily the communities overall attitude improved over time, the success of the KS has all but quelled the Doom Sayers that one goofy designs will ruin the entire IP.
