Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "ArkRoyalRavager" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on following visits by clicking on watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Hi sorry I rarely see my chat section. Ok will keep it in mind. Thank you for the feedback! --User:ArkRoyalRavager

FM 3145

Sorry guys I didn't realize the FM3145 moratorium till I edited some of the articles. After reading through this wiki's moratorium policy which says the source can be used 2 months after being published, and since FM3145 came out in mid-September, it's alright to use it as a souce now right? --User:ArkRoyalRavager

Wrong. We are waiting for the printed FM:3145. Do not post anything from FM:3145! --Aldous (talk) 08:22, 9 December 2013 (PST)

Err... Could you undo everything you've done? Thanks.--Aldous (talk) 08:35, 9 December 2013 (PST)

The moratorium expired on February 18, 2014.--Doneve (talk) 11:30, 9 December 2013 (PST)

We measure moratorium dates from the publication of the print book, where applicable. Moratorium dates are listed on the article for the book/product. In this case, FM:3145 has a street date of December 18th, so we have just a bit over two months to wait. --Scaletail (talk) 16:37, 9 December 2013 (PST)

Ok. Will remove them till February 18th.--User:ArkRoyalRavager

The AFFS

If you can let me know what you're trying to do with the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns page, I may be able to give you a hand with the formatting and the like - at the moment, you've got some really weird formatting layouts going on. Drop me a note here or on my talk page and I'll help if I can ... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 14:04, 9 December 2013 (PST)

Why you remove some headers?.--Doneve (talk) 14:26, 9 December 2013 (PST)

I was trying to create a section for the Independent Commands brigade due to the AFFS commonly lumping them under that brigade in the field manuals. Also, the brigade is the most fluid due to different units being added or deactivated or eventually forming their own separate brigade(like the Federated Suns Lancers). --User:ArkRoyalRavager

OK - I can help with that. How many units have served as independent commands, while still being AFFS units rather than hired mercenaries? BrokenMnemonic (talk) 11:20, 10 December 2013 (PST)

1st Aragon Borderers, 1st Argyle Lancers, 1st Capellan Dragoons, 1st Federated Suns Armored Cavalry, 2nd Federated Suns Armored Cavalry, 1st Federated Suns Lancers(eventually formed its own Federated Suns Lancers brigade), 1st Kestrel Grenadiers, 1st Kittery Borderers, 1st Royal Cavaliers - these are the units in the Independent Commands from 3025-3085. User:ArkRoyalRavager

I've been reading through the AFFS page, and a lot of those units are listed under the "Inactive Brigades" sub-section. However, I'm not overly convinced the page as a whole is in the best layout, because it's very much linked to being a sitrep as at the end of 3067, with some additions from later detail. I think what might be best is to wait until Field Report: 2765 AFFS is out to see how many of those units listed as brigades on the AFFS page currently actually really were brigades. Then, the page can be rewritten to make it less time-bounded and more general, with a section on Independent Commands if needed. Does that sound reasonable? BrokenMnemonic (talk) 00:43, 12 December 2013 (PST)

Great idea. Will do. Thanks BrokenMnemonic. User:ArkRoyalRavager

Happy to help I'm looking forward to seeing the new WarShips and formation details from FR 2765: AFFS. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 06:14, 13 December 2013 (PST)

As do I! I'm personally interested in the specific class of the AFFS flagship mentioned in the Davion sourcebook. As for formations, the lack of many of the old standbys like the Deneb Light Cavalry and Crucis Lancers will take some getting used to. User:ArkRoyalRavager

Historical: Reunification War didn't have anything heavier than an Aegis in the fleet the Taurians destroyed during Case AMBER. Given that fleet was more than half of the AFFS navy at the time, I'm wondering where the Defenders mentioned in Strat Ops went. It also suggests that for the Golden Lion to be a flagship, it was probably heavier than an Aegis. With the CCAF and DCMS both getting two new ship classes - one new, one old - I'm inclined to speculate that one of the two we'll get shown is the Defender. As for the other... maybe it'll be a new heavy of some kind. It's be nice to see a bit of variety - although with the CCAF using a Black Lion I as one of their lead ships, I'd not be surprised to see that the Golden Lion was another ex-THAF ship, perhaps something like a Monsoon...

I'm also looking forward to seeing what the older formations are that are in play during the era. The Draconis March-affilitated home brigade has changed name at least once. Sadly, I doubt we'll learn any more about the Terran Brigade and whatever the old Age of War Periphery March home brigade was, but I can hope, right?
