Would be cool.

There is enough Aerotech in the BT lore for Clan and Freebirth scum... I mean Inner Sphere.

or just get a bunch of BT junkies to all play TEC for IS and Vasari for Clan   

No.

Battletech is about Mech (surface) combat, not about space combat. Sins would not be a good game for a battletech mod imo.

I'm a little skeptical if it will actually feel like mechwarrior, but at least it has some very nice mech models.

I am going to have to agree with Kuren. You guys obviously (not to be mean) are not that big of mechwarrior fans. I have read every book and played every game, There are books entirely about space combat, you never see a mech, and there damn good. Just because the games that are made do not focus on space does not mean its not there, there are hundreds of jumpship, dropship, warship, and aerocraft classes, space stations, weapons designed specifically for space warfare. Go to Solaris7.com and look around you get an idea of how much there is. Trust me Im having a hard time choosing from all the stuff there is to put in this mod. Its just as developed as the mechs on the ground, and if you know all there is to know about battletech, mechs are the majority focus, but they do not even comprimise half of this wonderful universe.

Unfortunately, yes there are only about three or four out of the hundred odd novels that even mention space combat, which is why this is so difficult. I am currently using sourcebooks from the old tabletop game, in combination with the drawings from solaris7.com to get a better feel for the vessels, and attempting to see which ones I will use, theres alot to choose from.
