We know that they'res always been a slightly lop-sided battle between Intersphere and Clan to both sides at one point or another, and while we would all like to have true mixed tech, that just wouldn't be balanced. So I've come up with a way for Enjoyers of Both Clan and Intersphere mechs to get the best of both worlds.
So you like your griffin but want the lighter clan srms? well just rip the internals out of your mech and replace them with Clan internals. Sounds stupid?
Well first off if we make all mechs able to switch internals (with the exception of Omni-mechs,but more of them later) we allow those who enjoy certain mechs, to play for they're own respected faction/side.
But what about meh Balence (Spelled wrong purposely)
Simple fix, when you change a mechs internals all upgrades and equipment are removed as well, If you switch to clan internals you can only use clan equipment, upgrades, etc and vice versa.
But why would you ever choose intersphere, clan has lighter and more powerful weapons? Well good sir, Interpshere now has a large amount of versatile weaponry that clan lacks such as MRMs, Light and Heavy, Gauss and PPCs, as well as rotary ACs. Also XLs. You might have had a point before Civil War because of lack of fusion engine and the Weapons but not now.
But what about quirks? Ah HA!
Thats the only really difficult part, each mech would need to have a re-quirked intersphere and clan mech version for each variant.
But nothing your telling me that no one has captured a timber wolf? A Warhawk, StormCrow?? Well It makes sense lore wise, even more so since each side wouldn't have access to the other's tech which is why non of the equipment converts over.
But what about Omni-mechs? That's a tricky one to be honest, it would be awesome if the intersphere could get they're omni-mechs because then we could allow it.
This is a great start toward Mixed tech, though only for mechs atm, but lets be honest to all our Clanners if we had access to the BattleMaster and Banshee we would use them, and for all those Intersphere loyalists, your telling me you woudn't want a timberwolf? Or Nova?
