Hey, it was fun. Granted that I never expected to really use any of those mechs in a real campaign, just in 1 off battles against my brother's custom designs. It was still fun, especially trying to make some of my wilder ideas/concepts work. 8)

And post Clan invasion the Houses started to design and feild all kinds of new mechs, so your comment about slipping backwards isn't entirely accurate. (can't say it's entirely inaccurate either, though.)
