Davs: If you have a chance to attack the Liao planet PLEASE do it.
Before you go defend a Clan drop check if Liao is attacking one of your planets.
If your attack queue on Liao border is swollen, switch to defend even if no Liao seems to be attacking - maybe Liao people will be drawn by the call to arms.
Going to defend on the Clan border should be the last resort if you find no other way to get a match...if IS seems to be outnumbering Clan don't even go there.
Even if you have to wait 5-10 minutes on the Liao border, give it a shot. No sense giving your matches and your unit's time to the Clan border, unless you absolutely have to. Remember you will have zero chance to take any Clan planets so all you are doing is giving them matches so they can take planets. (sorry Clan players but I have confidence you'll be able to fight and take planets without Liao or Dav defending them!).

Wolves are at Terra because PGI wanted them to be. No other reason. CJF has over 100 worlds but because it seemed to entertain some big Clanner units with the Wolves (right when PGI wants to sell a lot of Clan packages) to make them feel like they're the big winners it seems like they're being handed Terra.
Which, let's be clear, they will. The whole thing is so cheap that... well, I just don't even. Not even worth discussing.
Liao though is a gun toting neighbor who's been showing up to play day in and day out for a lot of months now and vastly, vastly better deserves our time and presence (which is the only point to this game - other players showing up to play with) than MS and the Wolves in their platter served event do.
Screw the Clans. Let them eat turrets. Go play with Liao. Win or lose they show up knowing they're going to get screwed by the system. There is a certain respectable crazy to that.

If we're being 100% honest, Mischief, the factions that win matches take planets. We've been in situations where we were pushed back. We were pushed back because we lost games. You (or I) can blame mech and weapon balance, or quirks, or demographics, or merc units, or pugs, or units participating or not participating, and those might each be legitimate grievances. But the side that wins games takes ticks, and the side that takes ticks takes systems. This is especially true now that ghost dropping is anywhere from half to a fourth as effective as it was in Phase 1. We wouldn't be at Earth if we didn't win games, and we wouldn't have been pushed back to The Rock if we didn't lose games.
If you want a game that takes a more holistic approach to faction warfare, this was never going to be that game. And in my mind, there's only one game that might fill that niche (which I will not mention).

MS got a yellow brick road to Terra in 60 days of playing taking 1 world a day on average. Back before everyone got burned out on cw that would have been a mediocre performance. Not bad; not that ms and the wolf units tagging along haven't played well and eaten a numbing number of turret drops I have no doubt.
It's not exceptional though. It's not bad, it's good work and well played wins. Cjf has wrecked twice the face and likely against more actual players. We won't even get into this being ms and not a faction victory.
Please don't take my frustration with overall cw issues as being negative about clan wolf players. I'm sure you've played hard and done great. That's part of the issue; a game design that strongly rewards the most don'tcare merc org and success driven by algorithm 'luck' instead of player skill belittles your accomplishments. At this point getting awarded Terra by random lottery drawing is about as relevant.

You also taught me that free beer is best beer.
Edit: also when you drink this Liao beer, you're thirsty again in like, 15 minutes.
