Somehow, I think that military personnel worldwide would take offense to you equating them with common mercenaries. Heck, I'm not in the military and I find it offensive. While military personnel are paid, the majority of them joined up because of patriotic loyalty, not for the paycheck. And, IMO, if they are only there for the paycheck, they need to get out.
Mercs fight only for themselves. Military personnel fight for something bigger than themselves. That's a huge difference.
I am one of those military people. While I love my country and serve proudly, I am being paid to do my job. that job is to break things and kill people. That was made perfectly clear to me from day 1. I hold no illusion to the nobility of what I do.
To say it like that, how do you define the Kell Hounds? Or McCarrons Armored Cavalry? Both Loyal to pretty much one house.

So barring being asked to do it for your country, you'd just take any payment to break things and kill people for anyone who had enough money.
While some soldiers might have mercenary mindsets, not all of them do. There's always exceptions. Most soldiers I know didn't join the Military specifically to kill people, but to protect and defend their country out of patriotism.

why waste precious metals like that? or is this typical of the IS mentality? i really do not understand the freebirth mentality of: take precious metal, plate the mech in it, stand out, get killed....

Yeah, But maybe it just means that they'll be aligned factions that don't fight each other.
It would be a shame to have the majority of players getting identical bonus's.
*Edit* Well, 40% but that's still a lot.

While they are the Federated Commonwealth, the people are still Davion and still Steiner. Just because there was a military alliance between say England and France through marriage, French people were still French and English were still English. Just as an example.
While their militaries were 'integrated' the real fact of the matter was that it was more an integration of ideologies more than anything else. While there might have been the odd exchange it's not like they just picked up half of steiner mechs and dropped them into davion space, and vice versa. There was still segregation.
If my Leader said: We are now in permanent alliance with China, for example, I wouldn't stop thinking of myself as whatever I was born as.

However, I might later turn mercanary. Thus far, my favourite MW games have been the Mercenaries releases (MW, MW2, MW4). I like the idea of negotiating pay and salvage, of keeping what I kill rather than simply accepting whatever the brass feels like filtering down my way. As such, I would be a Davion affiliate; Davion gives planets away to his mercs and stands the least chance for double-cross and betrayal.

Still said first choice would be a Lone Wolf cuz, let's be honest, that sounds pretty cool. But when I wanna feel like I'm actually doing something then I'd join a faction.

I think there should be more Kuritans. Somebody has to defend the Hentai and Tentacle po**.
Dont worry about that, the merger is still 54 real years away
But we in the FRR are planning on wrecking the canon timeline badly anyway by stopping the clans at the border!
