I'm going to do a quick write up. Hold tight until later today (PDT).

So right now the entire DEV team is locked in a hand to hand battle over who gets to run Comstar!.

I'd love to be a part of the unit I'm a part of.

If I ever run into someone claiming to be Khan of Clan Big Nose or whatever I'm going to treat them like the loony they are

You forgot to put "Clan" and/or "Wolf" in there.

I do tend to think that the Devs should have taken care of this issue right off the bat. It's a very slippery subject as we see all the different thoughts on the subject and attitudes. To adress it now months down the road after groups have formed and produced websites and forums. Our leader sent and received a group of messages about this subject from the one Dev. The info he told us we decided was fine. This is a different dev posting in this forum we will see if they agree with one another.
In many ways I think it would be interesting contributingto part of the devs inner game.If I was in Northwind Highlanders to have a dev be the top guy. (sorry I dont know the units history) and for the most part you play like you wish but every so often the dev sends down orders that your needed at this planet. bring three lances or if your a merc unit like Grey death Legion, leader of that group is a dev. Usually your grinding away trying to imporve your mechs and piloting skills but every so often Dev Greyson Death Carlyle tells command that there is a merc contract on this world or that and to bring so many lances to do whatever. Nothing is predetermined for the battle you win or loose on how you play.
Personnely I think it would be far more interesting if we threw the battletech history away and created our own.With each battle you fight the overall winning and loosing changes boundry lines of territories and creates new histories and heros.

That would be a lot of fun.

Excited to see what he posts...

[Listless Nomad]

I'm hoping that since Bryan failed to return as promised - it means that we are getting perhaps a more official word, or something more than a cursory write up.

Then again if things just got busy - it means that they are working on the game which is also a bonus. I'd just really like to hear what he was going to say lol.

I have a question,
Nobody will be able to truly answer my question, but...
Does anyone have any idea how IS squads, such as the Sky Rangers, will receive orders? Or will it be up to those running the groups to make all decisions?

[Carl Wrede]

This discussion is a huge waste of time.

If you are a lone wolf there is nothing to name or belong to.

If you are a House pilot you dont get to name anything or have any kind of own organisation. You do get to call yourself a member of X House unit (not controlled by players) if you have gotten high enough faction standing ingame for it to become awailable to you.

If you are creating a Merc Company you do get to name it but you can not take a well known canon name for the unit.
If the developers are smart they will do it as first come first serve INGAME and nothing else as that will give everyone the same possibillities.

Regarding the Clan wannabes there are no Clans at the start of the game and you would not want to disgrace yourselves by posing as mercenaries just to get your group a name would you?

[Jaroth Corbett]

The fact that a dev is going to write up something specifically dealing with the basis of this thread, defies your "this is a waste of time" POV.

[SilentWolff]

Claiming units you say?

No one can claim the Empire! The Empire claims you and your soul. But you must be choosen, for the Empire's glory will be paved with the ashes of our enemies!

Oh and were non canon too, so take that

[A11eycat]

Agreeing with Jaroth, a Dev involved does not make it a waste

[Bryan Ekman]

Sorry for the delay on my write up. Hoping to get it done today. Lots on the go in the office today.

[Dihm]

Make May Merc Month and I may forgive.

Gotta prep the second mech for release later in the day? I understand.

Also please make May merc money instead of money month. You already know you have our monies...
