We are the children of Kerensky not some sort of petty sphere-oid great house only loyalty in the clans. Tired of seeing dishonourable non clan merc groups like 228 that only go where it gives them the most benefits and ruining what means to be part of the Clans.

Clans are about crushing our enemies yes, but does not mean by using only meta loadouts because that would be dishonourable to two shot someone before they get a chance to fight back. Because there is no honor to be had in fighting an enemy who is capable of putting up a defense

Do not forget my sib-kin honor the traditions of the great father and of iLkhan Nicolas Kerensky. Do not for get the trials and honourable single combat protocol zellbrigen. Dishonesty is not clan like do no stoop to the levels of the barbaric inner sphere.




Honor for Clan Wolf, Honor for the Great Father.

In Classic Battle Tech LORE the Clans cant be aided by MERCENEARIES in the invasion of the Inner Sphere !

Of course there are "Clan" units which act as mercenaries, like Wolfs Dragoons or Snords Irregulars, but they DONT USE CLAN OMNI mechs AND they fight on the IS SIDE !
At least during the early stages of the invasion while the IS didnt use captured Clan OMNI mechs or CLAN WEAPONS in their IS mechs !

To solve the current MERC problem in FACTION PLAY, there should a generic CLAN faction ( similar to Mercenaries ) available AND Mercenaries should be restricted to IS contracts only !

When people say honour they mean this right? Posted Image

We Clans talk much of honor. Nothing is more precious to a Clan warrior than his honor. How do I define honor? Success.

Lets do this:

Get rid of mercs/freelancers altogether.
Everyone can "log in" to fp as clanner or IS based on current scenario/activity balance.
If you play X games in Y time, you get bumped in fp if others are waiting to play that side...

I have never seen a 12 kodiak drop as long as I have been with the clans.
The pugs do decrease our likelyhood of success and small merc groups are useful as cannon foder.

Well, you didn't regularly face clans so that's feasible... all you had to do was drop in groups where not everyone had KDKs and you're statement is true.

Having faced clans, I can say I've witnessed 10-12 KDKs in a wave... sometimes twice as players would bring 2 KDKs and 2 mist lynxes

**** like this is why people in clan wolf are harassed daily, their TS servers DDoSed, and why no one wants to fight for them.

thanks for the stigma buddy.

If you do not like his posts, fine. No need to attack him personally. Also, damnit Homer, do not use my Khans name in vain! :)

I'm doing just fine without full Kodiak drops, 4 Kodiaks are more than enough, even with the recent tonnage update, we play harder and still win. It comes down to tactics and experienced leadership, meta helps, but meta alone does not a win make. I can say having played with the TOP smoke Jaguar units, they win without 10-12 Kodiaks.

Maybe if the IS brings out its 12 thunderbolts, warhammers or Atlas, maybe then you will see 10 Kodiaks. But for regular pugs and random lances 12 Kodiaks are not required. Any middle of the range mechs can be valuable when built and applied properly.

There is plenty of pug fodder out there with the new update for every organized outfit to gain some planets.

How the BNB has addressed this tonnage disadvantage is by running the clock down not allowing the IS to use there full dropdeck been working so far pretty good but still pissed about PGI bullying there player base to switch sides to to cover their incompetence and lack of ability to make a balanced game.

Lets make it that for FP Clans can't make a group larger than 10, then put 2 potato, dummy placeholders in the 11th and 12th slots that self destruct as soon as they drop from the dropship. No kills, no assists on these 2.

boom. stars vs lances
