Hey Pal, Taram. Just added ya both to friends list ingame. Would love to drop with you guys anytime. I've been playing MWO for a couple months now, just finally got my name change to go through (was Gadris before). The game seems great, but I wish it hadn't take 13 years to come out lol. Im looking forward to showing this new generation of snot nose kids some honor and humility.

Question: Do the Dragoons hire people from any factions of the IS?

For Solaris and 3025 time line Wolf's Dragoons had a contract with the DCMS, so the unit was part of the DCMS's To&E, Kurita's military organization. We worked with another merc company to fill its rosters and for the most part gave it free reign in its staffing and recruitment. A number of DCMS personnel eventually joined WD, but for all intents and purposes it was a DCMS unit, the wild child.

It was also some interesting times, especially since it and other merc units were used as a needle to ***** certain areas, such as the ideology concerning the no-legging aspect of the community, and helped in part to move the Solaris community to open warfare. Was an interesting SSW as we had either one or two houses that boycott that SSW that was being hosted by House Kurita, but a few of the units from those houses, both House and merc, still elected to participate in them as free merc units and were put to good use.

Still can't believe that the community kept going for over 6 years, from net beta to AOL to Gamestorm then finishing up with EA (/mop please...).

[SmithMPBT]

Good to see you're still around Tarl. I was hoping against all odds when I first got here that there would be some form of House Command Structure run by competent organizers. But from what I've read it doesn't look that way. We all may be taking orders from a 10 yr old kid who has 12 hours a day free to play lol.

Reading your post and speaking with some of the old MPBT'ers, WD, DRAAGUNS, House Kurita, etc has brought back a ton of forgetten good times. We had a damn fine community. From the roleplay aspects of each house, to the rivalries, and the mutual respect shown. It was really an accomplishment.

I'm hoping atleast some shadow of good times and honor will be found here in MWO.

[Kdogg788]

No one says you ever have to. Like you, many of us have been around since the MPBT days, and I doubt many of us will take orders from anyone outside our unit (unless they are known to us of course and our commanders are not present), solely on the basis of some player having more XP or loyalty points.

hai (nods) on the CoC. At the moment we do not have any concrete details about the Community Warfare or its structure in its entirety. Until it is done the information we do have is tentative. imho PGI likely had planned that mercs will be the active part of the game while keeping with the the basic current storyline.T

• No high level COC directing the houses' aim or control where units go. PGI controlling almost everything, for the most part follow the storyline.
  
  • The above is actually a good thing, considering the different types of personalities. Everyone will be able to lead (or follow) their own little unit without worrying about the politics from above. I know on AOL at one time we had a few thousand warriors per house. Talk about server overload !!!
• To have control of a unit it will need to be a non-canon merc or non-canon house unit (active part)
  
• Pilots who do not wish to be part of an active unit will be able to join a passive House unit (no canon merc units), with some House units have higher stipulations/requirements than other House units
  
  • .Said players will have no control over who joins said passive House unit, though technically a group of pilots could group together to form their own sub-unit (aka lance/company/battalion) but will have no say in other pilots forming similar sub-units in the same canon regiment.
    
  • It was mentioned that players who meet specific requirements may be able to do some things but no real specific details.
• No Succession Wars - Will be border conflicts and said conflicts will be restricted in range. No taking over an entire state
  
  • With that said, if it works out that way, then the bragging rights will be on who can hold planets/sectors of space for a period of time.
    
  • Even when the clans come, conflicts will be limited to the borders. We just do not know how far in from the borders before we can not proceed any further.

What I would like to see happening would be the regimental (unit commanders) work with each other on overall objectives but it really depends on how PGI is going to handle that part of the game. And a collection of units could have, outside the game, an overall commander in charge while in game he commands a single unit. That alone will depend on how that portion of the game works on the upside or downside between a small or large unit.

Several things will depend on how PGI/IGP develops the Community Warfare piece as it will be quite an endeavor. There are so many ways they can do this piece that I am sure a few of us could draw up a few proposals that would be different from each other. It will be a waiting game, but all we can do is plan with the information we know or have had hinted at while taking it one day at a time.

I do see PUGs eventually being the minority, simply based on our past experiences, provided the means to communicate with each other is provided with a persistent in game chat system, among other things. As long as it is more like the previous MPBT games and not MW2-4.
