At its core, the game is a really great 'mech simulation; it's just all the other bits that suck.
It isn't a really great 'mech simulation. It is a good robot simulation that pretents to call things with the same names as in the Battletech Universe.

Shut down all the nuclear and coal plants and subsidize solar and wind energy, and by the end of this century we will have more than met our energy needs.
So what powers your home when the wind stops and the sun goes down? What keeps the grid up without brown-outs destroying all your A/C->D/C power converts and the equipment they power (which is pretty much EVERYTHING from TV's and computers, to cell phones, refrigerators, and washing machines)? You need BASELINE power stations on the grid. There has yet to be a solar or wind BASELINE plant invented (there is a theoretical one for solar that requires launching panels into space outside of the earth's and moon's shadows and using microwave beams to transfer the energy back to earth, but there are ALL kinds of issues and safety problems that it will NEVER be produced... I mean, just imagine a small piece of dust moving at thousands of km per second impacting it and throwing off the alignment even
