Just a quick question. Do you think it's time Clan Star Adder is added to the clan factions? As for myself, yes.

[Davers]

Didn't Star Adder just stay home and not enter the IS?

[dervishx5]

If by time for Star Adder you mean split FW into 4 factions:

Homeworld Clans
vs
Invasion Clans
vs
North IS
vs
South IS

Then yes. Yes it is.

[SmithMPBT]

Splitting the factions even further at this point would be bad. Dervishx5's idea aint bad, something like that could help funnel ppl down to atleast get some matches goin.

No. The LAST thing needed is another faction.

[Malcolm Vordermark]

As a functional faction in FP, no. I think that's probably a bad idea given the size of the population in that area of the game. If were attached to one of the existing factions, I'd be all for it.

[CycKath]

Decal yes, functional faction no.

[TercieI]

We need less factions not more. Unless you just want a forum badge (the only actual purpose of factions), then whatever.

[Lukoi Banacek]

As a member of a Star Adder based unit, I'd love to see a nod to them in game, but at this point the population doesn't support adding more factions such as CSA tbh. So decals, being "attached" to an existing invasion corridor etc yes, but not a whole new faction to further dilute the limited player base there.

FP has enough problems. That would only make it worse.

Star Adder did not participant in the invasion of the Inner Sphere. They should not be added in as a playable faction. If any new clan factions were added to the game they should be Steel Vipers, and Nova Cats. They were the reserve clans that were actually used, and given a presence in IS space. Later on Hell's Horses would be the next choice.

I under stand the OP's position, they like the clan and would like to display that in game. It would be great if PGI added all of the clan faction symbols to the decal, profile tags, forum avatar lists, and faction skins for mechs.

Adding more playable factions would just make things worse for the current FW system. I would love the see St. Ives, and periphery states added to the game, but I know it's just not going to happen.

Don't forget Clan Diamond Shark was also a part of the invasion.

Also, Clan Star Adder almost made it into the invasion force, but the lost the bid and Clan Wolf was forced in ect ect
IMO it makes sense to allow Star Adder to join the invasion. Not like this game sticks to the lore very tightly as it is.

PGI just needs to group clans into a single faction while still allowing people to align themselves with distinct Clans.
Could either be all Crusader Clans as a faction and all Warden Clan factions, or Invasion and Homeworld factions as already suggested. Either one would work pretty well imo.

We were at least in the battle of Tukayyid.

And you lost horribly like the dezgra merchants you are.

[Lyoto Machida]

Time to combine factions, actually...

[Lukoi Banacek]

Clan Star Adder decals are en route. St Ives is already in. So...just a matter of time.

You keep saying that, and try to wage a war without Harjel in your Elementals. Or the Iron Womb technology WE created.

Only if you don't use the Elementals and half a dozen omnimechs we created.

YOU CAN'T MATCH OUR STYLE!

Oh lord that thing is hilarious. We need to petition PGI to add THAT to this game.

[dervishx5]

For every good invention the Horses come up with, they come up with two embarrassing ones. HAGs? Check. Respond with Thunder Stallion and Parash. Hellstar? Cool, kicks ***. Respond with QuadVees and Bowmen.

[Davegt27]

well to make a logical game mode wouldn't you want the same number of Clan factions as IS factions?

I would say yes


having two more Clan Factions in the south attacking Liao and Marik would be a good idea

if the player numbers where greater that is
