4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Tech Readouts, January 14, 2004

This review is from: Battletech: Technical Readout : 2750 (Paperback)

This Technical readout covers 'Mechs, vehicles, starships and equipment from an era much vaunted in the story of the game, yet ill-covered by the creators of the game. 2750 was roughly the pinnacle of humanity, a time when man was master of all they could see and at peace. Or at least that's what people of today believed. People like Stefan Amaris and the rock he turned over when he assassinated the First Lord told otherwise. Yet technology-wise, it was a time of great heights. With the development of 'Mechs with technology unrivaled by what could be produced 250 years later by the Inner Sphere and the creation of massive warships capable of unleashing unheard of firepower, this Technical Readout hints at the power the Clans had at their inception and built upon, and the technology that nations fought over for two and a half centuries.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but needs an update., May 28, 2007

This review is from: Battletech: Technical Readout : 2750 (Paperback)

This book was actually written after the 3025 technical readout. It was published for all the fans who wanted to see some of the "Lostech" from the Star League mentioned so often in the TR3025. It's one of the few technical readouts that hasn't been updated and it shows. Some of the technology it mentions in passing is more likely to be found in Star Trek, while many of the events mentioned contradict the updated, official story line. Its worth owning and reading, but FanPro really needs to reprint it after bringing it up to speed!

4.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT Book, January 18, 2000

This review is from: Battletech: Technical Readout : 2750 (Paperback)

This book was a very good book for reference to the 2750 time era. It gave a good background of what was going on for the intro of the book, and the Mech designs were good. I especially enjoyed the Mechs such as the King Crab and the Highlander. With examples like those, it is easy to comprehend how much technology was lost when Alexander Kerensky left the Inner Sphere.
