Um... by the time all the "contracts that got the cooldown" have ended, there will be kitten, doggy, pigeon, and pedobear cub cleanup.

It was kind of expected there would be a IS event next weekend and likely the associated Clan to IS change from merc units extra to get the shinnies that will be offered for IS units who capture 5 planets (like when the Clans did this weekend)

Said it before, that's the problem not the mechs. It's not about -6% duration here and +6% range there. It's the big units flip flopping every month. The side they pick will win the CW that month regardless of the mech quirks.

I wonder if part of the forthcoming event will require ® mechs, just like this one requires (I) mechs.

If it will, I guess I shall stay Falcon - for the fast queue times. Gotta love them fast queue times.

During this latest go-round, the big units had some effect, sure, but it was dwarfed by the effect of the event this weekend and the flood of pugs that showed up for the goodies. PGI has the tools to push CW in any direction they want. They're the real elephant at the dance.

Really what the flood of PUGs do is guarantee that matches are occurring constantly. Clan might have had long wait times and/or ghost drops, but IS had virtually nonstop matches. Since the big units were on the Clan side it looks like a total rout for the IS.

I will say though that things are chaotic on the Clan side as well. Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon conquered every IS planet they had the option to attack, and then conquered Clan planets as well because they ran out of IS targets (and units always attack, never defend).

If Clan was (I) mechs only, makes sense for IS to be ® mecha only, both have 2 packs worth of mechs to choose from. But the IS players of any mech type should get a CW % medallion too.
