So we know that faction specific mechs are in game but not really divided by those factions besides Clan and IS. I.E. Mauler and Dragons despite being Kurita only really any house can drop them in CW ect.

With the recent Viper announced it got this Ghost Bear thinking (and for good reasons!) a signature faction deck for a bear while being competitive and decent. Granted tis might require some of you guys to bring more then just four laser vomit Heavies. For the more lore say type this could be an interesting discussion to set up for those looking for a faction drop deck to enjoy the game more while also not holding back your team (aka bringing a stock Mad Dog Prime o.O)

For instance a very solid Ghost Bear Drop Deck would be....

Kodiak (100tons)
Mad Dog (60tons)
Mad Dog (60tons)
Viper (40tons)

Obviously the builds would need to reflect more to meta (aka probably Mad Dogs with heavy SRM/S-SRM builds) but could also add some flavor to each faction now if they could run historical loadouts ect. Though I know yes some (boring) folks run the same (boring) builds on almost all thier mechs for...reasons.

What so you guys have in mind? I know there is no way to ever force people into this and for good reasons they should not, this is just a fun post that maybe some warriors or units would be willing to try? Someone could document unique good drop decks for each faction and be not to bad a base for some players.

Before PGI upped the tonnage my Jade Falcon drop deck was:

Kit Fox (30 tons)
Hellbringer (65 tons)
Summoner (70 tons)
Timber Wolf (75 tons)

My hope is that they release the Turkina soon; then my drop deck will be all Falcon 'Mechs and it will total 260. Until then I guess I can up the Timber Wolf to a Warhawk since it has a bird in its name and it was piloted by Diana on Tukayidd.

I've long run a dropdeck with a DCMS feel

Jenner or Panther (35)
2x Dragons (60 in my case Fang and Flame)
Battlemaster (85)

With the tonage changes a while back I trade the second dragon for a Marauder though.

The Federated Suns could field:
- Enforcer (50)
- Jagermech (65)
- Warhammer (70) I currently lack the Warhammer in my drop deck and typically use a Thunderbolt (65) in it's place.
- Victor (80)

Trying to think of a good light mech currently available produced by Davion loyalists rather than our Lyran allies. Drawing a blank.
