Default BattleTech Race Style ?

I was wondering if anyone has seen a Battletech Race Style.. ?

It seems to me that BattleTech has almost everything to create a new style :

BattleMechs - Troops
DropShips - Transport
Aerospace Fighters - Fighters
Starships - Ships
LongTom - Weapon Platforms

hehehe

I think someone started working on one a long time ago and quit. They have not been here in over a year.

Actually IMO I thought that the Renegade Legion Universe would be nice especially since it primarily focus's on ships but Fasa did come out with a great tank Version of which the name escapes me atm and I am to lazy to go to my closet.

I was really saddened that Battletech got all the glory over Renegade L. I thought the RL universe to be far more compelling and realistic than a nuclear reactor in a battlemech that didnt vape a city when the mech went boom boom.

/sigh One of these days i really need to learn programing so i can learn to mod and ummmm put some board games i got to the comp.

I too liked the Renegade Legion universe FAR more than Battletech. I hated the hodgepodge of high-tech and really crappy tech in Battletech, and I can't suspend my disbelief for giant walking robots defeating tanks. RL also had a much larger sense of scale, which is cool too. The tank game was Centurion, BTW.

if you stop feeding a fusion reacter fuel, the reaction stops. of course, there's still superheating to deal with, but they could be using some Version of cold fusion. of course, if your fuel supply went up, that's still a lot of hydrogen... and theoretically, you could start your fusion reaction up again. i guess the appeal of battletech is bigger is better. what's renegade legion?
