Why? Clan tech does not appear in the TT until 3051, making it 3049 would be stupid. Just because the Technical Readout: was dated 3050 does not mean that tech is available to the IS.

I love the utter insistance on 3050 when it simply is not an accurate date.

Maybe I should have made it more clear, I personally don't care about having the clans* in the game. It seems there are a large number of people that have a raging superboner ™ for the clans.

I would honestly enjoy an entire year or more of things being settled (game technology wise) so that when the clans do show up, it is a massive shake to the community. Give us a while of CW to fight over who gets what of the pie, then make all our hard work pointless as someone else comes in and takes an extra big slice of pie just because they can.

I like it because it is an allegory for life.

*Well, I guess I have an interest stealing their stuff and shooting them in the back with it. FWL style and all that.

When Clan meks become aviable there wont be anyone playing IS tech so whats the rush? enjoy this time because its going to be the last of IS tek you see.

This won't happen, because it makes zero sense from the developers standpoint. Why spend 13+ months balancing Inner Sphere weapons when they will be irrelevant by the time your work is done? That's wasted work.

PGI will make all tech viable. Clan weaponry will not be the death of the Inner Sphere tech. How? Don't ask, its not my job. But it makes more sense than wasting a years worth of development

Wooo... Clan Mechs on Assault and Conquest mode fighting over... what exactly? Wow, what an invasion that'll 'feel' like. Immurse yurself!

I honestly don't get the clan love. Clan mechs are boring compared to IS.

[Pihb]

This game is in no way shape or form ready for clans. PGI can barely balance IS weapons and mechs, adding clan tech into the mix would be a huge mistake at this point.

It's all conjecture at this point, nothing more... The great secret...
