Did Planetside have 30 years of Canon fiction to set the lines of demarcation?

No, nor do I, personally, see how that is relevant to the point at hand; namely, that differences between player factions can in fact be done and in a way that is enjoyable and balanced without it being "their guns are purple but do the same damage."

I am more in the Why would House Marik fight along side House Steiner to protect Coventry crew. You have no link to the planet other than it takes money out of your Merchants pockets from potential Lyran customers. Clans Ghost Bear and Jade Falcon hate each other for the most part and Falcons Choke when they even hear the word Wolf! Long standing rivalries that are part ans parcel of the universe this game is in.

I'm with you there, though I know that we'll have to accept some chopping of the source material.

I just want Clan vs. IS.

The rest is "beyond the scope" to an extent, though I'd love to see each faction done, and done right, and really have some good crunch in the match types and allowed units per faction and map selection be related to the world being fought over, etc.

Hell, I wish Marik could field more tanks than light mechs as scouts, as they should!

But I know that's not gonna happen.
