Actually, Clan Mechs are different than Inner Sphere Mechs. There is no clan version of the Awesome...they do however, have a mech called Timberwolf, and it's known as a MadCat in the Inner Sphere. The IS Mech Daishi, is also a clan mech, known as a Dire Wolf. The Vulture IS mech is a clan mech called Mad Dog...I am looking forward to the Mad Dog and the Timberwolf, as well as the Kodiak and Dire Wolf.

Bah clans.

I defy Assault bunny-hop, PPC Beta-Strike O' rama as it is mostly playing mediums...

I'll play IS jest because every FOTM jackass is going to be Clans.. and i can shoot them.

Still can't decide which house to go to though.

Probably not Steiner, I like my scouts under 95 tons.

Well this thread is supposed to be about who is not going to use clan mechs and why..

so trying to bring it back on subject..

I won't be using any clan mech at all

Why.

Because they made the game unbalanced, the concept of the clans is weak, lets all abandon the I.S. to go live in the prephery where there is even less tech than the place we are leaving, and some how over a very short time span come back with better equipement and genetically enhanced pilots..because everyone knows how easy it is to colonies planets..

Ok we put the sofa over there the cyro tubes there...we can put the factories over there..

it has all the hall marks of hictchhikers guide to science..pretty sure the mad cat was invented by an unemployed, telephone disinfector, or a hair dresser..

seriously the madcat has a 9 year olds mentallity to it, I wants a maruder and a catapult put together and make it hit lots better and gets rid of heat half as guude again..

I do not see why Clan mechs and tech should be only for Clans.
I will buy any mech I want and I do not care if it is IS or Clan.

For a merc, yes this makes sense, for a IS House Military this makes a lot less sense, they fight with what they know and can actually maintain (for the most part). and this is the main difference between choosing clan or IS, why would you muddle the differences and blur the line between the two factions? oh yeah... the constant QQ that one side is OP...

[MrTarget]

Being in a merc unit in the 31st century I hate the clanners, especially as this Merc unit has a lot of hatred towards them due to there history. (DHB was originally Grey Death Legion). But being a techie in the universe and the next, the moment I bring down a clanner mech I will drag it back to the dropship, pull it apart and make it work again. Even if I have to kill a second for parts...

[That Guy]

If PGI does it right, NO ONE who is in the IS will play with clan tech

[SuperBroHeroFella]

If anything, I will be the first IS Pilot that crosses the Mad Dog & the Mad Cat to a new breed. BWAHAHAHA.

[3rdworld]

I will probably play a clan mech. If IS is allowed Clan tech though, I doubt there would be much difference between the two.

Clan will probably have Crit limited hardpoints vs IS type limited.

Clans have a Commando IIC. It definitely out techs the IS Commando :-D

[LordDante]

[Jan Spengler]

Inner Sphere all the way..
No Clans.
No Mercs.

Though IIRC the IICs are coming eventually, I doubt we'll see them in the initial Clan lineup.

We've been waiting over a year for hard info on the Clans. After that sort of lead up, getting a better Highlander, a better Jenner, a better hunch, etc. instead of unique Clan mechs would be quite the letdown.

[Carrion Hound]

Mechs? Maybe, Tech? Frack yes.

[Ohgodtherats]

We'll see how it shapes up. If, Clans are locked into a set of Clan-like tactics somehow then I'd give it a try. Otherwise if its just better mechs with no restrictions then i'll stay inner sphere thanks.

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

If PGI is going to keep most of the ludicrously over powered as all Hell stats with Clan Equipment / Mechs / Weapons -- you'd be an absolute fool to not use them.

[StalaggtIKE]

I'm one of those guys that root for the underdog, thus I do not really care for clanner tech nor the omni. I have a few omni favs in which I will likely get. However I doubt I would pilot them often, if ever.

I don't want to pilot clan mechs.

I'm OK with them adding them and hope they do them right.

I have a feeling, however, that this will end up being "Go Clan or Go Home" as with tabletop, in which case, well, I'll go home.

Did you play BT for long? because it wasn't go clan or go home, I won with IS mechs about as much as I lost with them. Was every design going to stand up to clan machines? Not at all but they where totally beatable

Sad thing is most people saw they got tons of BV and just went assault spree mc-gree and got pasted. There's a reason Mediums exist in BT... (not saying assaults and heavies wheren't without merit but just spamming them vs clan was terribad)

Rasalhague will salvage and utilize any and all technologies which will allow it to defend its citizens more efficiently.

(There is no way mwo won't come clantech online wonder why they even bothered with tech1 IS stuff, I could be wrong and they could figure out a mechanism to circumvent it... but I doubt it, if nothing else community ragequit threats will make them back out)
