Now that the game is out, anyone want to talk about it? No spoilers.
I am loving it. Its the heart of Battletech, if not the rules.

I've got entirely too many hours under my belt to want to mention. But I'm loving it myself. Started off a tad slow for me and I wasn't sure. But after the first couple missions, and once I learned what everything meant and how to use things, I got into it!
I just finished the Artru mission. I tend to do one "campaign-moving" mission and then 2 or 3 random jobs to get some more cash.

I'm about 110 weeks in, and have a Highlander, Battlemaster, Quickdraw, and a Grasshopper. First three are equipped with Cockpit Mods, and my Grasshopper is the spotter, so has a Rangefinder.
