Which at some point got dumbed down to Clan/Inner Sphere.
Whatever happened to the talk of getting lower priced for Faction Specific Mechs if you worked for or belonged to said faction? To Cbills bonuses for running Faction correct Mechs, etc?
Give Davions a reason to run Enforcers and Jagermech-As, Lyrans their Zeus's and Commandos, Liaos their Vindicators and Ravens, etc. A benefit for being actual Loyalists.
Have enemy faction mechs cost more, and provide less like a -5% to cbills to represent how much harder and more expensive the parts are to maintain it. Make it much larger for IS units running Clan Tech, and vice versa (though with few exceptions IDK why a Clanner would run IS mechs, unless they love IS ACs), and non Faction specific mechs neutral in between.
Mercs should end up somewhere in between, no bonuses, no minuses, as a basis, but getting maybe half the house bonus when they use faction specific mechs while under contract to that faction. And yes, the same hits for running Clan Tech (since they don't have the technical logistics or wherewithal to really keep a Madcat going)
Yes, I know some people will whine at the thought of certain chassis not earning as much. I really don't care. If we are to ever get anything resembling immersion, steps like these really are needed.
And before you get your panties on fire...I am referring to CW.
