When did you start playing?
In about 2009/10!! I played MC2 first, and it was my introduction to the BattleTech universe :)
Favourite Mech?
Mad Cat. Ideologically I don't agree with the Clans, but the Mad Cat really is one of the best and most iconic Mech designs. Also fond of the Masakari, although I don't usually use assault-class Mechs. Although it's not in MC, I also like the Marauder.
Favourite pilot?
*Gestures to this site URL* Firestorm for MC1!! Lynx is a close runner-up though. I also really like Thunder, Falcon, Mystique, Hunter, Countess, Baron, Fiend, and Hitman!! Although I love all of them really. For MC2 it's Twitch, and I also like Longshot, Meat, Flash, Steel, Claymore, Dagger, Shadow, and Jinx.
Favourite weapon/component?
The Clan ER PPC!! The PPCs have an excellent sound effect in MC2. Also the ECM suite, but I wish you could equip more Mechs with them in MC2.
What other BattleTech games have you played?
Currently I'm trying to play through BattleTech (2018) and MechAssault Phantom War!! I've also played MechAssault 1, MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf, MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, and MechWarrior 4: Vengeance. And of course I've played the board game and have roughly 2 companies of miniatures, and I have some MechWarrior: Dark Age collectibles too.
