RE: Defensive posturing alongKurita borders.

 

Finest Precentor,

 

There has been a large scalemobilization of BattleMech units along the Kuritan borders.  Interceptedcommunications indicate that BattleMech production has increased dramaticallyand that factories are being ordered to deliver all BattleMech inventories toborder planets.  We are unsure at this time if this action is defensive orhostile and will be monitoring the activity heavily.

 

It would be advisable to notifythe First Circuit of these activities due to the sheer scale of thesemaneuvers.

 

-------- END OF TRANSMISSION----------

 

All Kurita favored and manufacturedBattleMech non-hero chassis are now 35% off regular MC prices as well as Kuritaprimary colors (Rust, Caput Mortuum, Obsidian Black) are 50% off. Additionally Kuritan cockpit items are also on sale at 50% off.

Is this why Heros/Champs for these chassis' no longer 50% off as part of the All of 'Em or Nothing sale?

I like the faction theme idea. I think you guys should have stuck with the 50% off though, not 35% for standard variants.

i also think it would fit the game a LOT better if there was, you know, a reason to be a certain faction over another.... i dont think I need to spell that out.

I like the idea, but 35% off the MC price of mechs easily acquired by Cbills... meh.
Now if it was 75% off they'd be flying off the shelves despite being regular mechs. Even 60% off.

Though seriously, the sale concept and especially the message about the posturing is a great idea.

Yeah, it probably overwrote those values.


But the Awesome, Orion, Centurion, and Jagermech heroes are also no longer on sale.

Ravens are pretty common across most, if not all of the Houses. For example, Davion fields the RVN-2X.
It is true though, that the Raven is most closely associated with Liao. Shame that the Raven Hero seems to be more FRR themed than Capellan.

SO this sale is only for the MC prices? Thats pretty weak...

To me (as a new player) this looks like the early version of the faction benifits, where the mechs of the dominant team become cheaper to its members. Which is awesome, unless thats MC only too....

also r some of the heros sposed to not b on sale or what now?

Ravens are not in Kurita's army list according to Catalyst. http://www.catalystd...ewUnitList.asp? It probably wouldn't be very common for the Davs either since it is a relatively new design.

You are right.

Mechs per Faction

Each faction has its preferred mechs, even if not always built in the faction's territory. This could be reflected in the upcoming Community Warfare by the mech's price for the player, depending on his faction.

Assignment tables

MWO IS mechs (year 3039):

The second Draconis Combine column is for Kurita A rated units (they have much more old Star League stuff).

And the Clans, 3050 (invading force):
