Hats off to you Wolf pups for a hard fought war for Dell.

THIS is more like it! For now, the paradise beach resorts of Dell remain in Falcon talons while we decide if it should be converted into a giant pig farm or not.

Looking forward to the next attack waves you send. It will be an exciting and brutal fight once more!

It was indeed well fought I look forward to future drops against you as it is a nice change of the ghost bear and it's mercs. As much as I would prefer to fight the IS and not against fellow clansmen it still remains not an option.

[Vxheous]

Well fought, though you show more sportsmanship here than you do in game.

[Keira RAVEN McKenna]

are you kidding? How else do I rouse the Falcons into fighting harder. What happens on the field stays on the field. And I was never individually insulting. But the rivalry between clans must be upheld! None of this " oh lets hug and be buddies" stuff while the guns run hot.

Once the fights done I'm a sweetheart again.

It would be wise for the Wolf to consider the recent past if employing mercenaries in your search for a path to terra through our worlds.

We were first to remember.
We remember Tamar.

Like we (Loyalist Wolves) have a choice in where Mercs may go. It is not like Mercs are not also playing for Jade Falcon every other week as well.

I don't understand this merc stuff clans don't use mercs....

[MrWeaseluv Fetladral]

Nope clans did not use Mercs. However the merc units can take any contract they want any time they want with no voice of the clan to say otherwise. That being the case we have to deal with the freebirth scum fighting under the clan banners. Think there is any chance mercs could be limited to IS groups? As for the fight for Dell as much as I hate to say it have to give JF a kudos on battles well fought

while that may be true in lore the devs have it made it clear that Mercs can participate on both sides and can go where they please without any sort of penalty (which right now there is no benefit to being a loyalist) unless members of the merc unit cut the contract early

In lore they may not, but you'll find it hard to compete in CW without them. Because in lore they were not the largest, most powerful fighting forces in the the IS.

Loyalists do get better LP rewards. Permanent contracts giving a much better advantage to those gains. Rather significantly when you compare to the rates for say only a temporary contract for a week.

Also actions against variable organisations do incur loyalty penalties when you kill members of that faction. So a lack of shown loyalty by these actions then penalises MERCs and more so for the fact they switch with less loyalty gains in the first place.

---

Having said that:

MRBC, Bandit/Pirate play style options, economy, black market, salvage, logistics and so on all hopefully have a place in the future of MWO where the relevance of these loyalty considerations will have some bearing as to the potential bonuses or methods as to how varous distinctions are applied to the idea of what it means to be a loyalist, merc, bandit/pirate or lone wolf.

This may change the relevant meaning of the interactions and bonuses that are made and perhaps the relevancy of involvement with planetary conquest. This with the idea of the economy having a more longer term bonuse to loyalist elements.

However Mercs then perhaps receiving rewards in a more alternative form due to the process of being treated as MERCs with specific contracts, payment and rewards more befitting their assistance to the loyalist factions but less concerned with the ownership and management of planets. The Factional employers then perhaps able to offer incentives as bonus payments to more recognisably loyal MERC elements. But the neutrality of MERCs should ideally be more concerned about where the business is, than any expectation that they have to be committed to one faction or another.

Then Bandits and Pirates, completely devoid of interest to sticking flags in planets or loyalty concerns having a alternative play style that is not associated with planetary conquest but perhaps effecting the parameters or the environment of those actions by others with the process of raids to effect the planet's conditions but not effecting the conquest process as a part of that. Their rewards then even less associated with factional economies and more involved with raids (might provide small factional incentives), salvage and the manipulation and provision of black market elements.

This would change the relevancy of the involvement and more meaningfull idea to who is involved in planetary conquest and what kinds of bonuses or rewards they recieve as a part of that involvement.

On behalf of CWI, you know we just need that corridor open.So don't take it serious,it's temporary.Passing by.

As long as Wolves remember we will be taking a planet for any they take, they will not need to worry.
