You can use the Clan bid system in the RPG, which we’ve done before, but you’re right that lots of the cool narrative elements of the Clans are difficult to fit into the standard BattleTech game. There is a points system though so you don’t have to use tons as the value of your force. You can get away with that using all-3025 tech (although some designs are definitely better value than others).

I agree that 3025 is probably the best technology level for playing games in, especially balanced ones and it’s great to see the resurgence of that with the BattleTech computer game – 3025 is cool again. One of the things I’m most excited about for the kickstarter is the Inner Sphere stretch goals which will bring us cool new plastic Mechs for all both periods.
