Alright...

First, scout mode or uh, the main one?

Second... What is the population of the planet? (Just tell me the planet)...

Will come back after I look at the map.

I'm back. It appears your conflict zone (with Jade Falcon) is Hassad. I dont' see any other conflict zones for you at this time.

Hassad is currently barren and might be until later in the day. It is often good to announce intentions to attack planets at specified times as a total of 24 players (or 8 if scouting mode) must get on at the same time).

If you can, go to Vipaava, the planet has 2 queues of Scouting games going on and is short on Inner Sphere players (you're Marik so you're IS).

----

If you are curious, here is the big sort of match (96 mechs, 24 players) and what it looks like. But getting that many people into the faction mode at the same time on the same teams.... not easy.

Gotcha. See my edited post? Head to "Vipaava", it is near Ghost Bear territory. It's active and you should be able to participate.
Since you're here, Liao and Marik are allies in MWO. Good luck mate.

In fact I'm heading there too. Need to use my mediums and lights.

New discovery, manage yoru Dropdeck in the Mechlab first.

I will be on Vipaava and I'm IS so I will be on your team if we drop in the same queue. We should, there's no "balancing" for Faction Play.

a dropship is the ship your Mech drops out of at the beginning of the match.
in invasion mode you must choose 4 Mechs weighing a total of between 160 and 250 tons combined to partisipate

in lore they are used to transport people and equipment (including Mechs) to and from the Jumpship which jumps into/outof the system from a position (usually) about 1 AU (the diameter of the earths orbit around the sun) above or below the stars rotational axis if I remember correctly.

dropships range from the "small" (not big enough to carry Mechs) to huge, (able to carry thousands of Mechs but not able to land in 1g)

for a scouting match to start the matchmaker has to be able to put together 2 teams of 4 players, so there must be at least 4 players in the queue on each side for a match to form,
If you click on the planet it will show you how many are in the queue.
if there is a group of 2 in the queue, then you queue up and another group of 2 shows up the matchmaker may form a match without you because the match has to include 4 Mechs.

invasion is the same except teams of 12

Suggestion. As your name is still baby blue/Rookie, you have not completed your 25 matches, matches where you have cadet bonus running. You should really be dropping into the public queue. FP is still a work in progress and is not the centerpiece of the game.

Faction Play will likely not pick up until the Dec 13th patch that introduces FP Phase 4.1.

Alright.

Let me get some screens.
Mkay.
Go to Mechlab.

Manage Dropdeck.

Fill it.

Go to Faction play


You can zoom and scroll with the mouse buttons and wheel if you want.


This is a conflict zone.

The info.

Queue info.

In this case I hit Defend.
Waiting for a match.


When queue fills for both teams..


Your objective looks like this:

There are 20 of them, get to them before the enemy does as both attackers and defenders.

This is the other objective

Kill them. IF you can't, make sure they can't escape (or that you escape if 'attacking')

Hey, where is my drop ship?

And why are the Jade Falcons not allowed to attack and take Terra?
