Yes but battletech ships are lower tech than even UNSC Halo ships. Battletech doesn’t have artificial gravity so they will be stuck at slower speeds that covenant ships will be able to exceed.The Argo isn't the main exploration ship though. It's a headquarters and base for a group of smaller dropships that do the actual exploring. If they get caught out to where they are in a prolonged engagement and suffering from orbital bombardment, chances are things are already borked since they shouldn't be engaging in anything larger then a skirmish anyways since they only have room for like a company of Battlemechs, a dozen or so.
And if your under orbital bombardment, mechs or no mechs, you'd still be screwed. But if your in a ground engagement, mechs are better then no mechs generally speaking.
