This raises a question for me. When the clans finally show up are we going to reform as the sea foxes or remain the sea wolves?

Good question... As long as we mostly side with House Davion I will be happy.

[Rabbit Blacksun]

Hope for that too but since its looking like only 8 per side at this point we may only get 2 lances at launch im hoping they go atleast to star levels

When/If CSF/CDS shows up in the IS invasion you can be assured we just might go over to them, ether way its highly probable that we wont see CDS CSF for some time since they dont even make an appearance till Tukkyid atleast by cannon standards, soo who knows.

Though if they are adding economy to the game you can be pretty sure that CSF will show up eventually if for no other reasons then they are a a large chunk of the economy lol

And yes they did alot of "work" with/for Davion as well as more then a few speculations on having been on scene since before tukkyid thats mostly just speculation and hedged guesses with the information given.

As a merc group I fully plan on keeping them with the CSF clan spirit, just remember that CSF had a different outlook on what honor was compared to the rest of the clans (they still followed the rules ... most of the tme) I think I already explained all that lol

[Vincent Vascaul]

I would like to also work for the Republic as much as possible

[Coralld]

There is Clan honor, and then there is CSF/CDS honor.

[Rabbit Blacksun]

Damn straight and We fully plan on working for any one that is willing to pay for our services. The difference being that we are going to assume that any one we take a contract with has honor ... untill they betray that honor

[Tim doyon]

Rabbit, you lead I follow. I'm curious how an economy is going to work. If we are going to be limited to only 2 lances we might want to have dual purpose lances, like the scout lance is also the command lance or something of that nature. I hope that they dont limit us that much. I think large scale (at least 4 lances per side) would be the way to go.

BTW: Page 12!!!

Joined the sea wolves forum btw

[Coralld]

They said it will be 12vs12.

[Rabbit Blacksun]

so 3 lances basically is what we are looking at fielding full time this should make it fairly easy then I will work up some diffferent config for lances

[Coralld]

I take it that when the game starts we will be using the training grounds first, this way we can find our mech loadouts that work best for each pilot and lance tactics before jumping into the fire.

[Vincent Vascaul]

Like I said I can field a Lance for the group as long as we have a well setup command structure

[Rabbit Blacksun]

I am planning on practice time for the first couple of days maybe even weeks so we can work on load outs tactics and get used to everything because jumping straight into the fire sounds bad lol.

currently I am looking at

1 scout lance - Forward operational scout
1 lt assault lance (lights and mediums) - mid range fighters
1 mix command lance - Command and support type

read the boards on the SW boards for their specific jobs

I think it will take at least a couple of weeks just to get us working as a team. If we are going to work mainly with House Davion mayb when we are ready we could get some davion units to be our OPFOR.

[Coralld]

I'm sure most people will be testing the waters so to speek before rushing head long into the war.

[Tim doyon]

Hey Rabbit, we should add our website to this -LINK- and I've heard about other merc companies putting their units on the MWO wiki. Food for thought


Edit: heres the -LINK- to make an article on the wiki


On another note I can see the beginnings of rivalries in the Canon Unit Names topic.

I vote we operate by the 7 habits of highly effective pirates

One of the reasons I went with the name

Sea Wolves Mercenary Unit

besies it describing who we are and where we came from is that I could find no reference to them being another merc group on any game. (other then R/L military equipment) it seemed a safer bet then going with a well known name.

As far as the wiki I am still reading through it I know some of the units on the site listed and some of the other units as well. But alot I dont know and will have to find out a bit more about them before adding our site to the Wiki links. Its more mostly about this whole copy right thing so as for wiki we will see

Personally I think just adding it here and the other board are good for the moment atleast till we get a bit more established, and work out our command structure, lance structure and roles. Since we are CSF based we should atleast have a basic command structure down.

So Idea's on command structure would be helpful and I have the strangest feeling that its not really going to matter how awsome every one is at previous versions of MW its still going to take practice with MW:O

Im liking alot of those rules

Edit- We are added to the MW:O merc page

[Tim doyon]

I think we should stick to the CSF command structure just with lances instead of stars.

[Rabbit Blacksun]

Easily enough done.

If you happen to have the image of a raven thats set up for desktop mode let me know lol the one i found looks crappy when converting it to 700x80 >.<

[Rabbit Blacksun]

I need to get a roster going of who all is actually here and who pilots what (preference) so I can atleast start a rough out line for the lances
