Mercenaries Contracting is up

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Grayson Marik


Commanders!

Your Command Center software “CC” has been updated.
Effective immediately, you can offer contracts to mercenaries from CC!

If an offer is accepted, the contract is valid and must be fulfilled by the mercenary unit.

This adds an other beautiful asset to your units as you can either bolster your troops on a joined operation with your mercs or you can send your mercs to stand alone operations, causing the enemy trouble on the other end of the front, while you commit the real blow to your objective!

Regards,
CC development and administration section

ISNB: Rumors about aliens in Oberon Confederation

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Grayson Marik


Throughout the the Oberon periphery state as well as small parts of the Steiner and FRR territory, rumors about raiding alien forces came up during the last weeks.

Communication to Sigurd in Oberon Confederation has been lost.

Comstar stated, it will investigate a possible HPG breakdown.

RP OFF:
The following Clans have been added:

Blood Spirit
Cloud Cobra
Coyote
Diamond Shark
Fire Mandrill
Ghost Bear
Goliath Scorpion
Hell’s Horses
Ice Hellion
Snow Raven
Star Adder
Steel Viper
Wolf
Smoke Jaguar

Jade Falcon

Also the Kerensky Cluster is now live on planet map.
Apart from the Battletech sources, I ninjaed the cluster closer to the IS. Also you clanners will not get an prepared invasion corridor here. Go bid for the right to invade and then do it as you can! ^^

All above stated clans have units ready to apply for.

Had some great fights today against the 9th Lyran Regulars! Hoping to have some videos up soon.

The content of this league is really great, and the scale of it is awesome. More people need to pick this up to make things truly dynamic and interesting. I really recommend that any group interested in playing some MWO as a mercenary or a house faction, gives this serious consideration.

Oh and the clans are coming in too. So, if you want to play clan and compete for the right to invade the IS, now's your chance. Honestly I can't think of what I'd want more as a clanner..

GG's guys, keep up the good work Grayson.

sounds interesting, maybe some day I'll have time to check this out. I'm really really busy these days.

How long do these games last? My group was a little late to sign up, but we're interested for the next go around.

[sj mausgmr]

It's real time dude, so it's all just about getting involved and scheduling matches after you make planetfall with units. You won't be at a disadvantage

It is really good to see these projects start up. The best of luck to you!

Thank you dude!

With our first clan unit signed up and rdy and the latest new implemented features like merc contracts, we are steering for well over 300 users and finally, it is getting some momentum.

Still we miss a team willing to play as a Kurita or Liao unit, but the most other factions have at least one unit to represent them.

[grayson marik]

Update:
The Gray Death Legion joined up with 3 battalions and also a Clan Snow Raven unit joined up.

[sj mausgmr]

Welcome to both units, we'll see you on the frontlines

[grayson marik]

The following units are still available click

[grayson marik]

Oh and we have an MWT section now. Difference is: in MWT a single player can easily play a whole unit. So if you play some MWT... just saddle up :-)

No Merc unit would take a contract to get paid after the job is done. Too easy for clients to "walk away" without paying. Especially given that most Houses have better numbers than most Merc units.

Half up front and half at delivery as a minimum.

Or are we talking about Mercnet? where a third party holds the cash in escrow? That would be the only way.

More likely the later, where a third party brokerage with a reputation to uphold holds payment in escrow.

Extended contracts you could have ongoing payments being made to cover operational costs with fulfillment or performance bonuses held in escrow.

Hey people,
because of rising player numbers and therefore rising need for faster progression of development and to improve code quality, I am currently looking for experienced PHP5 and or JavaScript developers, who can work in a team, are used to code version systems like subversion and of course understand Battletech a little
Also experience with MySQL and O/R Mapping software is a big plus as the project uses the Propel O/R
While understanding Battletech is only a plus, good coding abilities are a must have. Since the player base has reached almost 400 players, the management tasks are eating so hard on my development time that both code quality and speed of development have suffered a lot lately.
So if you are willing to help, just shoot me a PM or mail me.

What makes this league better or different than the Proxis League?
