Welcome to the "officially existing club!" It is about damned time. Good to see our finned brethren are finally joining us as a playable faction.

Too bad they waited so long. If they'd been put in last year, or the year before, when FW hit phase 2 or 3, it might have mattered or drawn some soloQ peeps to FW. Now? It's not even getting me back in the game, and it's something I wanted more than a viable MLX (which we also now have, apparently?).

Too little, too late. That's the PGI way it seems.

Well, it's too late for you, but I've spoken to people who have been waiting for this change to happen for a very long time. So yeah, you're on your own pal.

[Skipmagnet]

We should totally put you in charge of NPE, so we can quit worrying about all those pesky noobs messing up our games.

If you think the situation was any different for us Nova Cat players, you'd be mistaken. Same boat. That said, once we could rep ourselves, we had a very dramatic uptick in activity. Let alone the boost to moral to finally be allowed to be us. Yeah, it is a couple years late, but I wouldn't downplay the impact being able to be your chosen faction makes.

And we should totally cast you off to an island were salt is a common delicacy to bittervets like yourself.

Let the Clan DiamondSharknado commence!:

[Pak Hammond]

My unit cannot wait the faction to hit in September.
DSx is Diamond Shark by name and soon Diamond Shark by factoon.

Now let's see how many loyalists and mercenary prostitutes will join Clan Diamond Shark once they come out.

Hello! Point Commander Hammond reporting! Nevermind my first post, lets talk what is important, Clan Diamond Shark. Like the Nova Cats and Vipers, it is good to finally express our good nature on the field. It welcomes new blood so to speak.

I represent the 369th Striker Cluster, The Hammer Heads of Gamma Galaxy. Yes i know the 369th technically was left with only a Binary in the aftermath of Tukayyid. Only reason i chose to form the 369th is it's long history with the Star League. Yes, ima lore buff

See you guys on the battlefield!

Diamond Shark HYPE. Switching to Clans in FP because of this. Highly recommend reading the Sarna article about this clan.

[Will9761]

14 days left until Clan Diamond Shark becomes a reality. I really hope the artist does a good job with the logo and doesn't make the same blunder like the "Nova Bat" fiasco again.

[Will9761]

I know the perfect warhorn for Clan Diamond Shark:

And on that subject, we should have some Sea Fox Cockpit items to show some heritage.

[Will9761]

This is the month of the Diamond Shark.

[Will9761]

One week left until Clan Diamond Shark arrives.

Probably a lot, and hopefully some new comes to Mechwarrior Online.

So you are telling me it is shark week?

[Will9761]

Well not really, but we have less than a week, 5 days actually.

DSx has left its current faction ready to become Diamond Shark loyalists as soon as the patch is done.

[Will9761]

1 more day. I just hope the artist doesn't screw up the Diamond Shark logo just like the last one. We do not want to go through that mess again.
