I'm a huge fan of CBT, and I will admit that some of my favorite novels have been about clanners "Jade Phoenix" And I like Clan Wolf. There's just... I don't get all the love the clans get.
I've been playing Mechwarrior since MW2, I played in the Tesla II cockpits back in 96' So I know enough about them, Sure the tech is good, [but hot] I just, often time they're hard to identify with as characters... They are vat born, killing machines. They're warriors at heart, have more in common with Klingons than humans. But I just don't get the love.
The InnerSphere I can relate to, because that's basically historical factions that got sent into space. And if it's the honor kick you want, then why not just join House Kurita and be mech based Samurai?
I guess some of the mechs are cool, I do love the Timberwolf/Madcat... I like the Thor/Summoner and the Loki. I like the Daishi/dire wolf... Stone Rhino is cool... Orion IIC... I'm not going to lie, there ARE cool mechs, but really, most of my love still falls on the Innersphere side of things.
Don't get me wrong guys, keep loving what you love, I'm just trying to understand the motivation for loving the clans.

<growls> it has been almost 18 YEARS since the last Clan centered game. We are sick of waiting, we are tired of waiting. our time is now. we do not demand we wait 10 years w/out innersphere to 'balance' things, so, do not ask, or expect us to wait. We are done waiting. Our time is coming just a few months from now.

Please try and remember that regardless of what your favorite mech/faction is the most important thing is that the game in general actually does well/attracts players/is good.
Being able to RP as whatever character you wish should come in a far second to seeing the game reach a generally good state.
I would rather Clans be slowly added but in a good manner, than the developers rush them into the game simply to please players and potentially end up hurting the game in the long run. The same of course applies to any IS gear, factions or mechs...

The clans make first contact in less than 30 days when they spirit Phelan Kell away and leave his mech and its targeting computer. Then, in March, the first wave of the invasion hits. This is wait enough. They already know how this is happening, and how it is balanced, all we are waiting for is, for the time line, the real world time line to sync up. I have waited nearly 18 years for this, I do not ask them to hold off on IS tech or mechs for balance sake, I ask that I not be made to wait for what I prefer to play as. I am certain most clanner's are with me on this.

You can ask and demand all you want, but if the devs decide to not make the Clans playable noone will hear you scream (well, except your neighbors maybe).

Aug. 7 is not launch still closed beta we paid to support the Devs to help make the game better. Open Beta will be around the end of summer with full launch sometime later. That is why there are few mechs at the moment.

Its because in other games the clan stuff was very OP compared to IS stuff. Therefore the "love" for clans. I hope PGI has plans to deal with that. My personal favorite would be allowing only one target at a time for clanners. The crying and gnashing of teeth that would ensue would make me happy for months.

Zelbriggen and no other engagments when you turn your enemy to dust.
Who knows, it might even add more to the game.

Looking forward to:
ryoken,
puma,
cougar,
blood asp
grizzly
black lanner
thor
massakari
stone rhino
and my favorite mech of all time the kodiak.
1) Check my sig for the dates on all of those
2) Years from now in many cases,if not more. Clantech would basically toss all the work they're doing now straight in the trash bin, as MW4 abundantly showed- Clantech would be stuffed on every chassis and half the game would be useless noob-bait.
As I'm fond of saying, you're asking for Gulf War technology in a Korean War sim.

If by "few months" you mean "few years", you're likely right on the money.
And I have very little sympathy for you. I've been waiting for a game WITHOUT Clan tech since the 1990's, and it's here. By that measure, I do believe that means you're in the back of the line since MW2,3, and 4 were full of it.
