Re: Blank Mechwarrior Template

 

Seems very well thought out. The only critique I have is that you have a LOT of skills. I would try to reduce the number of knowledge/familiarity skills by making them a bit more general/less specific, but if you like the detail then keep it as is!

Re: Blank Mechwarrior Template

 

Thanks Gunrunner , the hardest thing for me when creating Package Deals is I can't leave anything out . I always end up looking at it and wincing when I realize I have missed something very basic to the concept . Sometime something essential . Could you be more specific
