Hey guys.

I noticed it seems to be happening a little more frequently these days where you'll drop with a lance completely comprised of one faction or another, and I think this is a great idea.

I'd just like to see the match-making software put a little more emphasis on matching players up from the same faction, in order to give a little more weight to our picking a faction in the forum, as well as giving us a little something to tide us over until CommWar comes out.

I don't imagine it would take much time or resources to do the tweak, either.

It would be nice to see more like faction Icons in a drop.

Prepare yourself to get roflstomped by all those Davion builds when they do faction production restrictions:
SHD-2D2, CTF-3D and the Victors

This game being what it is, I imagine Faction restrictions will be more like a plus/minus modifier to coax people into taking designs or equipment from their own factions - rather than outright saying "No", especially since there's no Salvage mechanic in the game (And since they got rid of repair and rearm - unlikely we'll ever see it)

I'd be less worried about Shadowhawks and Cataphracts, more concerned with AC40 Jagermechs.

Victors are good, but the're no Highlander or Stalker.
