Video Games Battletech

[Eye of Nowhere]

So I've been playing Battletech lately and I'm really enjoying the game. Building up a merc lance, customizing the mechs are rampaging through the missions on a quest for vengeance. Is anyone else playing? If so:

1. Name your favourite Mech
2. Favourite weapon combo?
3. Do you think the pilot skill trees should've been more detailed than they are?

Personally:

1. The Black Knight, for meme points
2. Medium lasers clusters, AC, LRM boats
3. Definitely

Please, no pointless debates around the supposed SJW BS of the pilot pronouns... Let's just talk about the actual gameplay and Battletech universe as a whole.
