I never really read the rules on the choppers cuz, well, I never saw any. Why did flight levels matter? I never really read the rules on the choppers cuz, well, I never saw any.

Second ot perhaps only Star Wars. I completely agree with mordicai and ggodo. Artillery in DA was way overpowered. The thing with DA was that it focused on so much other than a big kick a** Mech. I still ended up collecting the nice sculpts. @ ggodo: I have plenty of 'copters. Even used them sometimes at the weekly DA events at a local shop. Seperate move rules for changing flight height sorta crippled them I thought. Good swift hitters otherwise. Battletech was my favorite universe growing up. Second ot perhaps only Star Wars.

I got into it with Mechwarrior 2 and proceeded to play all of those and Dark Age. Dark Age was kinda meh. Making the pieces collectible and having a powercreep and absurd difference in playability between rarities meant that I couldn't afford to win. Also, Why does artillery go right through me with no way of defending myself? I have 23 defense and the heaviest armor in the game, yet one freaking artillery costing less than half my points can kill me from across the map? That just doesn't make sense. also, I never saw a helicopter. I played for the first four sets, Helis came in the third, and I never saw one. Not at a tourney, not on a singles rack, not in some random guy's stuff, never. Did anyone have one of those? I love the battletech universe.

Zentraedi Officer's Battlepod, I mean. No wait, I mean Marauder! Though the longest running Mechwarrior character I had flew a Conversion mech (Again, I heart me some Robotech) that I ended up gutting & more or less building frmo scrap-- a stealth suite, & all laser armaments. I liked to fly around half-converted & land in rivers, natch. Also, at GenCon one year I won an ad hoc prize for "Most Terrain Destroyed." What, you didn't expect I would blow up the re-supply bunkers? I will always be a Marauder fan. Zentraedi Officer’s Battlepod, I mean. No wait, I mean Marauder!
