3.0 out of 5 stars
Up up and away, October 28, 1998
This review is from: Battletech: Explorer Corps (Paperback)
If your not a die hard Battletech fan, or if you just like to combat with the figures, you really don't want this book. It does have a few new ground vehicles and Jumpships. It also has rules for advanced terrain and weather. Ultra-Heavy Jungle, High winds, heavy rain are just some of the things you could throw at the players. However, if you don't go into detailed rules for that sort of thing it has little use for a combat battletech player. Where it does come in value is if you wish to take your Mechwarrior Roleplaying group on the road. Like out into the deep periphery, or to create your own planets for your unlucky party. Also if you had always wondered about the inner workings of a jumpship, and what space life is like aboard a jumpship for months, it is interesting reading. To those people who are big fans of Comstar, the saviors of the innersphere (yay right), this is an important book for your library.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A helpful book., August 6, 2000
This review is from: Battletech: Explorer Corps (Paperback)
Have you ever wanted to create your own world to put your unlucky bunch of mechwarriors. Well luckly this book has the instructions. I realize that most of these rules were reprinted in other, more recent books, but it is always nice to have.
For the comstar fanatic it's a must. It explains more about the mystic techno cult, but more importantly, the process that the exporer coprs is going through to find the clan homeworlds.
For the mechwarrior palyers, it puts the experiance of space travel in the battletech universe a little more into perspective. It also give the interior lay out of a dropship and a jumpship, and some contracts for jobs. Something I found usefull in various campains.
Overall, a good book to own if your a mechwarrior player (role playing) or you want to own them all.
