Howdy. I have an interest in this as well- at least, I think I do! I've only really experienced the setting through Mechwarrior Online and briefly playing the XCOM style Battletech game- but I enjoyed my experience with Mechwarrior immensely and this has definitely caught my eye for now. The only reason I'm tentative rather than whole-hog in my interest is due to a strain of time I'm in lately.
