Just a wistful lil idea that when they decide to start introducing clan mechs for the week prior the devs crash people's games hot dropping in with a lance of clan mechs to try and kill everyone .

No dev post no warning just a SURPRISE Timberwolf lance to the face , so the game really does get invaded by clan mechs before we actually get to buy and use them.

I used to play City of Heroes... There were a few Dev driven events that were very memorable.

[Tarrasque]

That would be incredible

[trycksh0t]

That would be ridiculously cool. Bonus points to both teams if you take 'em all out.

LANCE

[Groundstain]

I like it, that is a great Idea.

[Atlai]

This really is a good idea, i can imagine the panic it would cause, then people wondering if they missed out when the clan tech was handed out.

[Team Leader]

That would be amazing. The surprise would really get people.

[Alistair Steiner]

Paul in his pink Clan 'Mech of choice.

[zencynic]

Great idea in the OP.

The targeting data should be something silly too.

Yes yes yes!

If I saw a pink clan mech charging me from out of no where I'd scream and point at the screen. "That's awesome!" And die a happy death.

[Raptor8009]

I agree not only would it be awesome it would be fun for the developers to love there game too and kill a lot of us as well.

There aren't near enough Dev's for how many games would be going on. what I've honestly been hoping for the entire time is that all the clans are NPC/bots, and its more of a team PVE system where you can choose to have a few lances jump in and fight against invading clan forces. Or you can take your lances against other players. up to you sort of thing. I just don't see where the players for the clans would come from without literally shattering most if not all of the current/active units.

[Vulpesveritas]

Surprise PVE Madcat?

[Daohor OzFey]

Now, now. Dont give them any good ideas

On a serious note, that would be freaking awesome, I can just imagine the teams going at each others throats, so to speak, and bam suddenly a lance of fresh mech's appear on you radar screen. Now that would be an "Oh crap" moment if there ever was one.

Agreed... Maybe the Devs need to choose a few hundred players to fill the gap... Pick me! Pick me!

YES! Like in the novels. Switching between Catapult and Marauder (if they can do that) when facing a Mad Cat (I'm Inner Sphere, deal with it), and such. Eventually, when there's enough intel on the invaders, the Inner Sphere names can disseminate throughout us IS players. Hmm, it would be neat to see Clan-specific (as in Wolf, Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear, Smoke Jaguar, etc) 'Mechs in areas where they'd be attacking. The Dire Wolf/Daishi more prominent in the Draconis Combine, for example, since they're the ones who named it. House Steiner would get hit more with 'Mechs like the Loki and Thor (Hellbringer and Summoner), since Victor fought them on Trellwan.

Just my thought on making things closer to canon, because I'm weird that way.

Star.

STAR of Clan 'mechs.

Definitely sounds cool though, but yeah, without outside help there's so few devs a miniscule portion of the population would get to experience it.
