Oh. I wouldn't mind missions set in surfaces of space stations.
Some personality would be nice as far as flavor text, visuals, combat floaters and what not.
Hey, the game takes place during a period of history that has seen the worst wars in human history, unprecedented drops in standards of living, totalitarian societies engaged in hundreds of years of war (Liao, Kurita), and interstellar scale social and economic disintegration. Damn right your crew should have a thing or two to say about how fucked up it is that they are fighting a war using super-advanced weapons and technology scavenged from wherever possible, from battlefields to hundreds of years derelict NBC-shelled industrial complexes, while most of the world around them is early-21st century level in terms of technology, but at the same time about the reversing trends with the Great Houses shifting focus from strategic destruction and sabotage to rebuilding. And, you know, the whole mystery of "two-thirds of the entire Star League Defense Force just vanished from known space, what do you think happened to them?". There's a whole lot of stuff they could say about all sorts of things, even just "how did you get a functioning BattleMech?" is a pretty big subject for merc-talk in this period.
Because they know they're going to succeed.
