I wouldn't say they are pay to win, if I could equip my IS mech with the same equipment, but allowing only purchases to get the benefits of engine upgrades and weapons upgrads is pay to win. I don't see any reason to play this game till they release the clan tech for IS mechs to level the playing field. Also, even forbes thinks they are out of their mind lol.

You'll never see clan tech for IS mechs. So...Bye, I guess.

You’ll be waiting a long time. The current plan from Piranha is that mixtech (using Clan equipment on Inner Sphere machines) will not be permitted. Only Clan ‘Mechs can use lighter, tighter Clan weapons – and conversely, only Inner Sphere machines can use more heat-efficient, more focused/FLD-oriented IS weapons.

No P2W involved. The balancing is currently pretty spot-on, with only a few outlier Clan systems that will doubtlessly be (over)adjusted when Piranha gets back from blowing things up.

Thanks for the 7 month old article we read 7 months ago.


For the record, its not Pay 2 Win. Its Pay To Get Things A Few Months Early.

This should never ever happen, because then it truly is just an arms race to the meta. Instead there should be a form of balance (imperfect balance) between the clan and IS mechs. This way IS mechs have their pros/cons and Clan mechs have theirs. Allowing clan weapons on IS mechs dilutes and destroys that ideal form of imperfect balance.

I doubt we will be seeing Clan tech for IS mechs any time soon, if at all.

I'd be OK with giving IS access to clan weapons... If they locked engine size, FF, endosteel, and heatsink type into your IS mechs like how they are locked in the clan machines.

Have fun with clan ERPPCs and SHS and moving 64kph.

Good job providing some great feedback, troll.

You have a reason to play all of a sudden, or are just gonna play for no reason in particular.

Since they will never release clan tech to IS mechs at least not without limiting it in some serious fashion... you will never be playing again.

On an interesting side note... PGI's command chair release on omnitech rules also directly made several references to Inner Sphere Omnimechs.

<.<; They won't have clan tech, but hey.. An IS mech locked to SHS or DHS, fixed structure/armor/engine with omnipods.
Those are coming.. but if we do a 1 to 1 time scale those will come in a year or two.

Forbes opinion on Gold Mechs (and actually a freelance journalist writing an article for Forbes, but let's not dicker on technicalities) prives the Clans as a WHole are P2W, how?

Lol. Love hearing the complaining, TBH. As almost everyone who has actually driven them will laugh at the proclamation. They certainly are different, but that is the point, and why they and the IS tech are not going to be mixed, to maintain that difference. By and large, with a few annoying outliers, they are well balanced toward each other. The Clans are better at some things, the IS, at others. I'm not going to write a wall of texts enumerating the differences, when there are dozens of posts, by myself and others already doing so.

Adjust your playing style to counter the clans.

IS ballistics are superior to the clan ones.
