A little off topic, but just wondering: Steiner is more or less "bad guys" right?  Compared to Davion at least.  I know a little about the backstory, but not much.  Read a little of one book a while back, and played Mech Commander 2 a few times (in which Steiner is *definitely* evil).

Is Davion ever portrayed as evil for using Clanners, or are they heroes who saved the Inner Sphere from the Clans?

The clans aren't really involved in the story. Though you can fight a few of the Jade Falcons(I think that's what clan it is anyway), it's not really related as far as I can tell. It's just a civil war, you pick who wins and neither side is really judged.

hmm, I think I might do both this defence mission and the one after. the salvage payout was... disappointing to say the least. I'm pretty sure the third defence mission has a badass payout though, and romm for a two lance deployment.

There was an early escort mission, either on this planet or the other starter planet, with hella lootz.

Other planet. I think it was about... 5 or 6 clan-tech weapons and a random chance of gauss or PPCs

Norton was being a dick, but I managed to keep the save files. Videos only this time. We only have one other mission available here, then we get the planet's last mission.

finished up the last two missions. we salvaged a number of mechs, and some new models. I'll get to uploading the techspecs and guncam later, but for now I present you a choice of worlds




Next update I'll be hiring new pilots, so everyone on the waiting list will have a 'mech.

If we go to Solaris can we go to Eaton later?

Indeed you can go whenever, I think.

Eaton or Solaris. Eaton will score you Davion points and lots of loot, BTW.

If we're going to take a joyride in Solaris, we should have a mascot that will handle the Solaris tournament ONLY and get good press while the 'real' team get down in the dirty work stopping dirty separatists.

Ah well. I don't quite see why Solaris exist though. I'm struggling to understand why would anyone want to watch some pointless combat between mercenary teams when the galaxy is currently dealing with a civil war? I would guess that such competitions are what factions use to judge what mercs to hire...but then why the announcer guy?

It's basically a gladiator arena, the entertainment won't stop just because of a war. Plus solaris is neutral.
