BattleTech Technical Readout: 3057

Fluff book about various mechs and technologies.

I guess this makes sense as a BGG item, but to me it's an RPG supplement. I've never played any of the aerial BattleTech variants, so I've never actually used this book. I like it, though. The BT universe has a clear ship aesthetic for jumpships and dropships that's unlike most other settings, and it's nifty to see all these ships in one spot.

Overall pretty good. An essential for Aerospace/Battlespace players. Though I don't agree with the decision to distance the way that Aerofighters operate in relation to battletech. There really is not a need for two scales of weaponry. I understand it's made that way to accommodate capital scale weapons, but aerofighters largely suffered in their abstraction from how they were represented in Aerotech 1
