any reason to pick the inner sphere when the Clans are way cooler?
>>98276403Any reason why you didn't specify the game or ask this question in its general?
>>98276403I want a less autistic history and martial culture
>>98276403The Clans are retarded savages and the Inner Sphere are the last bastion of actual civilization.
>>98276849If you need the game specified when OP asks about inner sphere and clans you need to either lurk more or fuck off to where you came from.
>>98276403Well, you may not realise this, but the Clans are actually lame as fuck and the IS are the cool ones.
>clans>coolJust admit you want the easy mode technology, it would be more dignified.
>>98276403I just prefer pre-clan era. You do you, bro
>>98276905I came from /tg/, so I'm already where I belong, fag.
>>98276403I will never not read it as "batch all"
>>98277335You DARE?
>>98276403clans are better, people here are just main protagonist syndrome fags who hate the idea of a lance acting as a unit which is what clans excel at and raped innersissies repeatedly for.
>>98277391But the Clans were the retards who used zero tactics you stupid nogames moron, they just flexed their bigger, better 'Mechs. The Inner Sphere were the ones fighting like a real unit, using advanced tactics to overcome the tech difference. Like Chaddam Motherfucking Steiner leading a force of literal cadets on a deep recon mission and becoming the man that Clanners have nightmares about. And we don't even need to bring up Tukayyid do we?
>>98276403If you find Clans cooler, then play Clans. Just don't come at me with LPLs and we'll get along swimmingly.
>>98277417In fairness Clanners were often also better pilots, which was even represented in the rules. The Inner Sphere in general adopted significantly more advanced strategies and Clanners literally consider many intelligent strategies to be dishonourable though, yes.Clanners are basically Space Knight LARPers all the way down to having better equipment and being better warriors but it all fell apart when they couldn't just bully IS elements with blitz warfare anymore.
>>98277417except I just described what happened during the first clan invasion you larping faggot. secondly clans raped innersissies so much there's an entire short story of a innersissie pilot defecting just to get a mech from the klan. The "adapting tactics" roughly translates to "after enough of our pilots got raped, we learned how to use pepper spray to not get raped" and then comstar used soviet wave tactics at tukkayid. There's your genius innersphere, we have more bodies then the clan has expensive PPC's.
>>98277438Better pilots, sure. >>98277460No, you described your own retarded headcanon, and *I* described the First Clan Invasion. Stupid motherfucker.>then comstar used soviet wave tactics at tukkayid.Pretty sure ambushes and guerilla tactics have nothing to do with human wave tactics, but if you know literally nothing about the setting like most Clanner players, naturally you're going to pretend Tukayyid was ackshully totally a victory for the Clans even if they limped away with the bulk of their forces decimated, morale at an all-time-low, and forced to retreat and ceasefire to lick their wounds, giving the Inner Sphere the time it needed to pull itself together and finally unite. If not for the Wobbies nuking everything, the war was about to turn very, very ugly for the Clanners.
>>98276887>Oy vey the Klan gassed my bubbieShalom!
>>98277488>he says as he gets his sources from youtubers and memestukkayid was literally just "throw the comguard at the problem and the clans won't know what to do against someone who doesn't care about losses" which FYI, is the strategy of the space chinese, whom never actually got to face clanners until much, much later. So no, retard zoomer secondary. It was in fact, a shitstomp where clanners had the issue of innersphere bugmen being piled too high for the clans to handle the amount of bugpeople. your favorite lorefag catalystgames buttmonkey Tex ironically used the parallel of the third reich pitted against the soviet union. Guess who was the third reich and who was the horde of mongoloids who's only advantage was population size and ability to shit out mediocre vehicles?
Clans have cool mechs designs but I like introtech
>>98277515>tukkayid was literally just "throw the comguard at the problem and the clans won't know what to do against someone who doesn't care about losses"Sure, if you just ignore every stratagem that Focht and his generals used to gain the upper tactical hand. You know, the ambushes and guerilla tactics designed specifically to lure in overconfident Clanner scum into death traps to die like the dogs they are. Your very creative 'interpretation' of the battle is pretty much pure headcanon that requires you to ignore every piece of fluff that clearly points out Tukayyid was a tactical victory for ComStar. Let's not forget, the Clans had the numbers on their side, and their tech wasn't that much inferior to the Star League 'Mechs that ComStar dragged out of the vaults; they only lost because they committed to disadvantageous battles, got surrounded and outmaneuvered, and made blunder after blunder such as not retreating when they had the chance, all because they got insulted over the radio. There was attrition, but all battles devolve to attrition once tactics have been played out. And let's not pretend like the Clans didn't take worse losses than ComStar.>So no, retard zoomer secondary.Clanners and their faggot bitch fans really are braindead. No surprises here.>It was in fact, a shitstomp where clanners had the issue of innersphere bugmen being piled too high for the clans to handle the amount of bugpeople.You could not be more wrong if you tried, impressive, bravo.>your favorite lorefag catalystgames buttmonkey Tex ironically used the parallel of the third reich pitted against the soviet union.The projection is palpable. Maybe if you read some of the actual books you wouldn't be such a retarded Clannerfag. Instead you watch videos like this, by some literal who, and let him inform your niggerbrain of what opinions you should have.
>>98276403Inner sphere mechs are much cheaper in BV. In practice this means you often get to play with higher tonnage and/or pilot skill ratings than someone playing clan mechs.This is completely fucked up narratively, but because battletech scales up so badly you're not just going to use your BV to buy more shit because you'd be playing one game for 10 hours.
The Inner Sphere was absolute peak until 3025. 3050 was a mistake.SUCC WARS BEST WARSClans, clan era, clan culture, clan tech and clan mechs are trash.
>>98276403Back in the day, in the 90's, the Sphere was inferior in terms of pilot, weapon and mech stats but superior in tactics, because they were allowed to gang up on targets, the Clans had to stick to one on one.
>>98277316No he's right, if you don't know what that is instantly, you should lurk more, silently.
>>98276849>>98277316newfag lmao
>>98277417>get your ass kicked halfway across the galaxy>your one success in an entire, mass galactic, cross faction war is playing le sneaky trick to buy 15 years of truce>at the end of it all the clans still rule terraInner Sphere cope is hilarious.
>>98277417Nice "I watched a tex talks battletech video" understanding of battletech you have there.
>>98280331>>98280359see >>98277574still waiting on you to respond to your entire ass getting debunked like the faggot you are
>>98276403Sunk cost, basically. The Clans was a Porch-Fund rugpull by the gamedevs on the OG fans.
>>98281348>the clans >porch fund Porchgate was 2010ish son.
The inevitable clash between beeple and grogs vs cgl will be fun to watch.
>>98276849Fuck generals and fuck you
the clans are a bunch of actual cuckolds with the author's barely disguised fetish on full display, actually the most fucking pathetic sci-fi Mecha culture created in all of fiction, even Shinji's not as big a fucking loser as the Clanners are and isn't standing by to watch Mari get passed around the barracks like a used sponge because MUH CLAN TRADITION There's absolutely no reason to ever consider being part of the clans when you can just be a mercenary faction instead, use all the overpowered clan technology while not being an obligatory sloppy seconds cum drinker.
>>98284618I like Clan Goliath Scorpion and Clan Sea Fox :^)
>>98284618Mad because bad and got two dads.
>>98276849Unlike you, the game he’s referring to has been around for forty years, you fucking casual.
>>98276946>Steiner>Davion>Liao>’cool’
>>98284866What battlemechs would panty and stocking pilot?
>>98277417>we don't even need to bring up Tukayyid do weComStar burned huge numbers of their advanced Star League era ‘mechs to stop the clans and even then it was a near thing. When you consider that ComStar is the closest thing the Inner Sphere has to the Rothschilds we have today, and their tech levels were approaching those of the Clans, Tukayyid’s fifteen-year ‘peace’ wasn’t such a victory after all. >stupid nogames moronAbsolutely dezgra
>>98284618>the clans are a bunch of actual cuckolds with the author's barely disguised fetish on full display, actually the most fucking pathetic sci-fi Mecha culture created in all of fictionSure, now that Catalyst has handed over the entire IP to deviant faggots and tranny gooners. Didn’t used to be that way, newfag.
>>98284947>Didn’t used to be that way, newfag.The eugenics program has always existed and has always meant clanners are cuckolds
>>98284947>Didn’t used to be that wayThis. We used to be furries, nudists and sibling fuckers.
Battletech lore is as dry and dull as dogshit, half the pvc mechs look really fucking goofy, for some reason you need another whole game to really play combined arms with realistic ranges etc. >oh look some more unoriginal sci fi morons cribbed some stories from history and somehow made them really boring
who keeps being such a sour grappe in all the threads trying to spoil the fun like>98285074>98276849this happens on all other board and also when speaking of any other topic.
>>98285105>sour grapesStop eating Andrew
>>98285105There are a few dedicated autists who go into every thread to shit on it regardless of content. Their spam box is very empty and they're mad about it. Post about the games you like and play, fuck the haters, be able to laugh at yourself and the silly things in the games you play.
>>98276403Clanners quite literally play at war. It's a game to them. A ritualized sport. Spheroids are "common" people who have been fighting so long that they understand that victory often means sacrifice. They're wild dogs versus the Clan's purebred.But you're also failing to look at the Clanners for what they are. Clanners are Ivan Drago. They are Nazi Superscience. They're Liquid Snake. They are meant to be the bigger, tougher, "better" creature. But in grabbing that next level of evolution, they've lost something that made them human. Clanners talk weird, they look weird, they act wrong. They're the Other you're meant to prevail over to show the indomitable Human spirit is greater than any genetic perfection.
>>98285184>Clanners talk weird, they look weird, they act wrongso they are giga autists like me
>>98276403Wackjob eugenicists have shit pay.
>>98285184In one of the rulebooks a couple Clanner cadets talking about that Nicolai Matheus from the cartoon, saying that his antics were an embarrassment and even quoting the cartoon humanized them to me. Meat robots from a factory wouldn't have a sense of humor.
>>98284866>SteinerI would think Universal Healthcare automatically makes them cool yes.>DavionWarmongers playing at being "The good ones">LiaoYou would think clanners would like them for also being genocidal fascist retards.
>>98276403They abandoned the Inner Sphere and thus have no right to the succession of Star League.>b-but in my le epic nu-lore-None of CGL's fanfic is canon.
>>98285458>I would think Universal Healthcare automatically makes them cool yes.beta as fuck
>>98276403The invader clans are essentially fully corrupted by Spheroids and we’ll never see the homeworld clans again. It’s like betting on a horse you know has severe health problems.
>>98277515>innersphere bugmenDo you actually believe Spheroid society is more collectivist than Clan society?
>>98285746>The invader clans are essentially fully corrupted by SpheroidsAff. >and we’ll never see the homeworld clans againNeg.

>>98277316I do not even play the game OP is referring and I know what he is talking about.Also OP should play Taurian Concordat, mostly because it makes everyone seeth for some reason.
>>98276403Clan mechs are just more fun. The live fast, die young, leave a pretty Stackpole glass cannon philosophy and dueling philosophy make for really fun games.Plus zell and, especially bidding are really fun ways to balance scenarios.
>>98278184Because they were supposed to be balanced by bidding down your forces for glory, and sticking to zel roe until the Spheroid player broke it. Or beat them under zel anyway like a real chad.
>>98285066'ate Wolves, luv Burds, simple as.But I like that the Falcons are the Vegeta or Starscream of the Clans.
