"Best pilot images yet to date. They fully 'jive' with the BT universe feel. The only complaints (and these are sooo minor) is that Ryanna seems a bit young, and some of the pilot's backgrounds tend to be a bit flashy (transparent would be nice). Even with those minor complaints, they blow everything else out of the water."

"Holy s*** these are amazing."

"This is such a massive improvement over vanilla I don't even have words. 10/10, through the uprights, and over the fence. "

"Seriously awesome work!
I've been looking for something exactly like this since I started playing! There are some decent ones out there but most don't have helmets (It just doesn't seem like mechwarrior for a mechjock not to have a helmet) Especially females..."

"When i downloaded this mod and installed i had no idea just how much better this made the game in so many ways especially the poorly images of characters in the kestrel mission screens and you've captured so much character for this game i thank you so much!!!!."
