The FRR managed to take Galuzzo from Wolf in the NA window last night. For some reason, it became open for attack immediately in the following Oceanic cycle, flipping it back to Wolf by the end.

Oh wait, here's the reason: https://twitter.com/...466221688291328

Well, that's a goddamn shame. Spent 2 nights winning on that damned planet...

You seem to have to be a member of MS as well, or at least start your tweet with the letters MS ;p

Russ said something about an event around Tukkayid. One were all clans can attack and all IS need to dfend and the planet has like over a hundred tiles. Something probably converging with a reset of the map. So is there a reset to be expected soon?

That does not sound like fun at all. Other than having many more tiles sounds like what we have going on now... Flooded queues do not make for a fun game.

Wow. I do not know what to say to that. Looks like PGI intends for the FRR to get wiped out....

Well other than completly restructuring the game from ground up in a matter of 24 hours there really isnt anything PGI can do as a event other than make the stakes higher and the systems gains less valuable. By having one battle be 1% instead of 6%, and the queue full of people that fight, you are going to wait for fights a fair bit longer than on a normal planet which disencourages rushing Omega.

I think that planets are taken over far to quick anyway.
Wasn't it supposed to be one day in real life is one day in CW? Since when can you conquer a planet in a single day?
They should make it complete campaigns. On day one you gotta fight for a breachhead. On day two you neeed to hold that breachhead and take some infrastucture, those orbital canons for example, or a spaceport. Stuff like that.

Would be really nice if the battle for a planet would wage for a week or so. With diferent objectives in every step of the campaign.

We are fighting against multiple clans simultaneously and with a smaller population than any of them, and still their progress is minimal and sometimes pushed back.

I'm actually very proud of how well we are doing under the circumstances. Skål! Rasalhague shall be free! (as in mead)

[Molossian Dog]

Considering the circumstances the KungsArmé is doing better than anyone could expect.

For a faction that never really had been given a chance, not by the lore, not by the mary sue writers and not by PGI, this is a great achievement,

Thumbs up, Fraggles.

It's even worse. In MWO you can take a whole planet in 8 hours.

Really? Hey guys, there is another another opponent to fight - let boot them out!
FRR is down to population of people who will fight against any odds.

We are the kind of guys that pick a side and stick with it. We are no turncoats that run from an uphill battle. If you wan't to bury us, you gotta bury us fighting!

The FRR is the only free and democratic nation in Battletech lore, and thats worth fighting for, even if its only in a game.

So what? People evidently like different things.

[Sandersson Jankins]

Playing at odd hours sometimes, I am sometimes forced to defend another House's world, when that is the only choice for 1-3 people to get a battle. All the FRR guys are very slow to whine about circumstances, and generally seem more adept at attempting teamwork.

All the other houses are mixed bags, with several VERY GOOD units, but "puggers" being unreliable. Even the unit-less folks in FRR seem to know enough about what they're getting into that they just do their best.

The FRR leadership is sane, isn't inbred, and isn't of the idea that magical pixy dust in their veins makes them special (they aren't "royalty"). Nor are FRR soldiers mass-produced in sweatshops then sent to their deaths.

When I think of it that way I wonder what's wrong with everyone else that they would accept one of those conditions. Did I miss something where there's another reasonable democratic faction? Or maybe a clan that doesn't make people in a breeding facility and didn't twist Aleksandr Kerensky's vision for a return to the IS after the Exodus?

I might work for other factions if a lucrative contract is offered, I am a merc after all. But I don't mind working for the FRR, which is more than I can say about the other factions.

Edit: Oh right, and the chance to change history (lore). If enough players went FRR it could rule the whole IS!

That is certainly worth admiring, and you have my respect for it. I don't understand it, but I respect it.

It would sure be interesting to see FRR do better in the war. It is sad to see their planets were taken out as quickly as was predicted.

Umm no they were not, We were predicted to be gone by the New Years, here it is almost March and PGI itself has had to lend direct aid to the clans to help take our worlds!

Phear the Space Vikings! PGI does.
