−	Hey - Could you be more specific on what i screwed up? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 13:53, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:I don't think you screwed up anything. I just added links on the Dragoon's warships to point to their class names.
−	:If you're referring to my comment about the preview button, that was for me. I forgot to put in a | character and the link looked stupid. So I embarrassed myself.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:: AH. Okay. Yeah, the comment confused me, not so much the idea that I had missed something as not being told what it was. And yes, good call in referencing the named vessels.
−	:: Honest, I just put a lot into that article, and wanted to see what others thought of it. *struts like a peacock* [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 14:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==DropShip - WarShip etc...==
−	Hy Mbear i see in the DropShip, WarShip infobox templates, there are not the Lifeboads and Escape Pods listed, i think it is usefull, what are you thinking...?[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 19:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
−	: You know... I was thinking the same thing for Aerospace Fighter capacity... [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 01:57, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
−	::The [[Template:InfoBoxWarShip|WarShip infobox]] does have a place for Lifeboats and Escape Pods: It's the fifth line up from the bottom.
−	::The [[Template:InfoBoxDropShip|DropShip infobox]] lacks that information. Off the top of my head I can't recall seeing that data, but if you want it listed I'll see what I can do about adding it.
−	::Rather than add an explicit "AeroSpace Fighter" capacity location, I'd add a "small craft" line instead. I'm thinking of ships like the [[Nekohono'o]], which carry 6 fighters + 9 Battle Taxis. In theory they could carry 15 small craft.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

−	:Hy, uups i over see it in the WarShip infobox, please can you list the data to the DropShip infobox, thanks a lot.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 08:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Armor Question==
−	Hi Mbear.  I have Article Request, since i'm not that good witht them. Your recent [[Heavy Rifle]] article, mentions of the Industrial / BAR Rating armor.  Is there possiblity to create a article(s) that would cover them? I have number of article that have dead-wiki links to BAR 5, BAR 6, etc. I'm not that good at writing up on technical side of things, was hoping you could or point to someone to request it to be made. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 20:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:I can do that. I'll get started tonight after work.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 20:12, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
−	::Done. I've pointed your dead wikilinks to the generic [[Barrier Armor Rating]] page since the number just reflects the BAR value.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 21:53, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Solaris VII stables==
−
−	Hi Mbear, I'm interesting to get information about the stables of Solaris VII. Did you know, from were I can get the Information? and how can i write an articel about it? [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 21:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
−	tnx [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 21:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:Sources to look for are: [[MechWarrior's Guide to Solaris VII]], [[Solaris VII: The Game World]], [[Solaris: The Reaches]], and [[Unbound]]. There's also a little information in the opening fiction of [[MechWarrior, Third Edition]], but I don't know how useful it'll be. I think there's some general info about Solaris in [[Warrior: En Garde]] and [[Assumption of Risk]], but once again, how useful it will be is unknown.
−	:As for writing the articles, there's a [[Help:CreateSolarisStableArticle|help page]] that will walk you through it. See the [[:Category:Solaris_Stables|Solaris Stables]] category page for some examples.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 22:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

−	== Piloting Skill not count? ==
−
−	Hey Mbear - I read this on your User page - can you please clarify your question, please? [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 19:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:The Battle Value computation for BattleMechs can be modified by the Piloting/Gunnery skill of the pilot (see [http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=38961.0 this table]). That's useful in games, but not useful here. So that's what I'm talking about in that statement. (I think the default BV computations include generic skill levels of 5 pilot/4 gunnery anyway, so it's probably moot.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:: Interesting. Yes, I would agree. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] 00:38, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Unit Compositions==
−	Hy again, i want to bring the composition section the unit articles to one standart like this [[42nd Avalon Hussars|Example ]], what you are thinking about this, when you have ideas please talk to me.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 14:17, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
−
−	:I think it is not necessary to name every commander from smaller subcommands. It is important to know the commanding officer from brigades or import units.{{Unsigned|Neuling }}
−
−	:: I agree with Neuling that the most important aspect of what you are trying to do is the commanding officers.. and not to be rude.. but their is a section for that and your example article has a single line in it. Look at the officers in the [[2nd Sword of Light]] for something that will a bit more useful to most players. At the same time though I am very much in favor of every smaller unit being listed. --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] 14:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
−
−	:Doneve, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Add the commanders of the regiments that make up an RCT? If you want to put that work in there, go ahead, I won't stop you. But before you spend a lot of time on that, I'd remind you that there are a lot of regiments listed in BTW already that may or may not have officer information. Even the publishers don't keep track of all the people who command RCT regiments (and smaller units like battalions, etc). So you may be taking on a huge task that might be of limited use. Maintaining it would also be a big challenge. At this time I don't see that it really adds any benefit, and you might get burned out part way through the task. (I should know, I reached a point on the [[:Category:Military_Ranks|Military Ranks]] project where I thought I'd go insane.)
−	:But like I said earlier if you want to take on this task, I won't get in your way.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Pictures from Game Cards==
−
−	For many variants of the mechs and vehicles are pictures on the card game. What are you thinking, can I integrate this pictures with the existing files like daishi a and so on.... [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 05:54, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:I don't know. The card game is different from the tabletop game so there may be some overlap. I think Wrangler or Doneve uploaded a lot of the card game images, so they might be better able to answer your question.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 12:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Cost==
−	Hy Mbear, please can you update the AeroSpace Fighter infobox with cost, i add the cost but i can't see it on the article, thanks.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 14:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:Doneve, I've added a Cost line to the AeroSpace Fighter infobox as you requested. You can see an example on the ''[[Stuka]]'' page.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:01, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Record Sheets 3039 BV==
−	Holla again, can you help me about the BV (grml..a never ending story), you see i update the ASF section by the RS 3039, iam a little bit confused then on the ASF articles on the wike the BV (1.0) addings are right or wrong there is no citation, when it is ok, i add the RS BV (1.0) on the non citaion variants. I hope you understand my SPECIAL englischhhhh ;).Greeting --[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 18:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:If I understand you, there are several AeroSpace Fighters that have variants. You've been adding the battle value from Record Sheets: 3039 to the appropriate pages. There are many articles that provide a BV (1.0) value you can't verify because there isn't a reference/citation listing the source. Is that right?--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
−	::Absolutly, when  no citation on the variant i add the RS 3039, it is better as nothing, and it is cannon.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 19:23, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
−	:::Well, if you have the BV (1.0) values and the article doesn't list them, by all means put them in place. Go forth! Edit! Be Bold!
−	:::If they're BV (2.0) values, that's fine too. Just mark them as BV (2.0) or BV (1.0) and put in the correct values. Go forth! Edit! Be Bold!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 20:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

−	==Writing up a Mauser & Gray Firearms article==
−	Hi Mbear, I recently noted the deletion of the Mauser & Gray article.  I'm going write up one using the info from the information from the Handbook: House Steiner. Do you have any objectives about this since you deleted the old one? Hate see that logo goto waste. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 15:48, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:Not at all. The reason I deleted the old article was that it was a sub-stub that only had your logo on it. Make a good article and I'll be happy. Good luck!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

−	==SLDF Military Regions==
−	Hoolla, good work about the military regions :). I think a category link is helpfull. Hmm do you like Star League Military Regions...or a little bit specified (era, periode, date...)?.--17:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
−	: Well thanks! I've added the category you suggested to each page. I didn't put the year/era info in the category because as far as I know the Military Region was restricted to the first SLDF. (The second SLDF didn't last long enough to require it.)--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 17:22, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

−	==Cloud Nine & Ten==
−	Hi Mbear, i just wrote up the [[Cloud Nine]] Carrier Airship article from the TRO: Vehicle Annex. I wrote it as a prelude to when Cloud Ten becames available to become a article.  However, i wanted bounce idea to you that the Cloud Ten should be its own article instead of written up as a variant since it has considerable amount of text and features in comparison to Cloud Nine. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 19:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:I agree that the Cloud Ten should get it's own article. In fact, there's a link on the [[Experimental Technical Readout: Boondocks|XTRO:Boondocks]] page expressly for the Cloud Ten. You could put a "related designs" header on the page (Like on the [[Duan Gung]] page).--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 20:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

−	==VAL-NT-JX "Hot Knife"==

−	==Slide In/Slide Out Equipment==
−	Hi Mbear, i'm was looking to write up small article regarding this pre-OmniModule system that used in Support Vehicles called Slide In/Slide Out or SISO.  I've Scanned/looked in TechManual and the didn't find any listing for the thing. Do you know where i would find actual listing on it? -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 14:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:IIRC, the SISO was mentioned in [[Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex]], not the TechManual. It was one of the research vehicles, but now I can't remember which one. Sorry!--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
−	::Its in two vehicles so far from what i've found. Cortez Exploration vehicle and the Mosquito radar plane.  There no construction rules regarding them which is kind frustrating since these is a pre-quer to OmniMech/OmniVehicle designs.  It IS a piece of equipment. It does not say how much equipment is suppose to be able to handle. TacOps, TechManual do not have anything on it. I'll keep looking. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 16:09, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:::Another possibility is the [[Mercury]] battlemech. It was the precursor to the Omnimech, so maybe some of the same info applies to the SISO.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 16:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
−	::::So far from what i've looked into, its never been named having the SISO. It was a completely new thing. Thinking about it, the SOSI likely to be precursor to OmniVehicles instead. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 17:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
−	::::::I've gotten word from the Battletech writer, Cray. He has said that the SISO is a fluff system has no solid mechanics in the game. There maybe rules for it StratOps, but SISO isn't mentioned in the book.  Should we bother SISO and possibly other such fluff equipment in a list some where like the List of Minor Merc units? -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 19:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:::::::I wouldn't bother. I see the SISO system as being similar to the Mercury 'Mech's "modular repair system": It's a neat bit of fluff and really handy for the Techs fixing things, but it doesn't affect game play or require any rules.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

−	Hy Mbear, what are you thinking about my latest work about the Dominion Wars and the work about an update to all know factions inclusive mercs. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 21:42, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:Neuling, you've got a lot of info about 3067 deployments on the DCMS page. I don't think that's the right place for them. I'd put them instead on the unit pages.
−	:The problem with putting the 3067 deployment on the main DCMS page is simple: Pretty soon you'd have to add information for the Age of War, First Succession War, etc., which is going to create a ''massive'' page. Instead I'd put the information you have here on the specific page for the unit, year, or event. (If we're missing an event, go ahead and add it.) That way we can keep the page size manageable.
−	:Another problem with putting stuff on the main DCMS page is that it will quickly get lost (people will have a hard time finding it). This is good info, and if you put it on the unit/event/year page it won't get lost in a big page.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 12:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

−	==Satellite Support Vehicles==
−	Hi Mbear, i recently added first satellite support vehicle article.  When i went to use the template for Support Vehicles, i found it inproperate for use for such a space bound vehicle. I used the infobox from the small craft instead.  I'm not sure, if that or the space station infobox should be used.  I did notice though through my number of support vehicle articles, that we need new template for the Support Vehicles.  Can you look into this?  I noticed one thing, that speed of vehicle comes up twice in article for some reason.  I noticed in yours and Rev templates, that you can code the template to make certain selection in the info box to disappear from view so a empty slot doesn't show.  Can this be done? Should I ask Rev about it? Thanks -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 14:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
−	:The short answer is I can look into it (speed appearing twice), but I probably won't be able to get to it until later today (about 6 or 7 PM EST). If you provide me an example I can look at I'll be happy to see if I can figure out why this is happening.
−	:For the second part of your comment it sounds like you're asking for:
−	:# A new template page for support vehicles, which should have a new infobox as well.
−	:# A new infobox for satellite support vehicles.
−	:Is that correct?--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:10, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

That would be great if you could do it. There number of articles citing individual dossiers when they were still on wizkid's website. Do you think you seperate the dossiers and up load them? As long I know where to find them. I can re attach the dossiers to the article that were citing them. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 00:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC) :Wrangler, it looks like the MWDA dossiers are in PDF files that Photoshop can get to. So I might be able to separate them out into individual pages. It may not look great, but it's a place to start. As soon as I finish up the Kurita ranks I'm doing I'll start on the dossiers.[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 12:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC) ::Cool, let me know when there ready and i'll start get cracking at doing re-attaching. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 12:22, 27 November 2009 (UTC) :::Downloading the PDF's now.

(It's pretty cool knowing that 17-20 red links for each weapon are now blue because I did that.)

And I thought about it to expanded the seperation of the articles to all militias (clan => single galaxies, comstar => armies, periphery states => corps + brigades) [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 13:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC) :Neuling, please add any information you find useful. If you want to know when (year) and where (planet) a unit was destroyed, someone else probably does as well. The only possible problem is when you have units that were destroyed, rebuilt, and destroyed again (like the Lyran Regulars). In that case, you may want to put the detailed information about unit destruction in the unit's individual article. :As to the second part of your question (Expanding clan listings to single galaxies, comstar to armies, etc.), if you want to do so, go right ahead. Again, I'm sure someone will find the information useful. However, you may want to consider adding more detailed info to each unit rather than just creating the page. The list of units is useful, and the brief overview is as well, but having some more depth in the article is best. (For an example of what I'm trying to say, compare the [[2nd Donegal Guards]] and [[3rd Donegal Guards]] articles. Both have the basic info, but the 2nd DG page has a lot more information.) :But just doing the expansions you mentioned would be good.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 13:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC) ::I put this forward about a year ago and got a no based on the fact that units can be re-raised multiple times. --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] 15:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC) :::Dmon, can you provide a link to that discussion? I'm unsure of how Mbear's answer is invalidated by a unit's multiple destruction & re-creation, unless they were all being tracked on the parent unit's page. What others said would be useful to me.--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 15:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC) :::: Sorry I should of been more clear in that I was answering the first part of the idea about unit destruction dates. I have no idea where the discussion might be sadly. Re-reading the question.. to be honest I should just go back to sleep.. I thought he was asking something else anyway :-( --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] 15:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC) :::::Well, that's good news in my book!--[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] ^{([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])} 16:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC) ::::::Lmao, I assume you mean it is good that I am saying the idea has already been discussed rather than me making an ass of myself yet again ;-) --[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] 16:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC) :::::::One means less 'work' and one amuses me.

I have an umbrella.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:23, 19 April 2010 (UTC) == Shadow Division Infobox update == Hi MBear, there no information on actual Shadow Division command. Thats why i was putting in Manei Domino for the as to whom the Shadow Divisions answer too, which is Precentor Apollyon. Since he Precentor Shadow Division, thus why i put Manei Domini instead of a non-existing Shadow Division High Command. I thought be odd putting Precetor Apollyon in as the Parent command. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 18:33, 23 April 2010 (UTC) :I know there's no listing for the Shadow Division as a whole, but I just put the finishing touches on it. It will hold information that affects all the Shadow Divisions, like their relationship to The Master, the infighting between St. Jamais & Apollyon, their equipment, and eventual destruction. Sort of like the [[Davion Brigade of Guards]] page. Also see the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] for some info.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:37, 23 April 2010 (UTC) ::Only thing is see as slight problem is duplication. Manei Domini IS the Shadow Divisions, there on in the same. I created the [[Manei Domini|Manei Domini Article]] to hold the events and goings of Manei which included the Divisions. I can understand having the Division organized, having history entire Brigade, i think should be included with Manei Domini article. A section dedicated to the Division as a whole. Hopefully, future source books when they come out, will clear up what command structure is actually called. From everything I read, it points high command is Manei Domini, since they don't listen to Word of Blake High Command, which they apparenty do have, but nothing in detail. -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 19:25, 23 April 2010 (UTC) :::I see your point, particularly about duplication, but respectfully disagree with your conclusion. The Manei Domini article you've written is a great description of the individual soldiers who serve in the Shadow Divisions and the cybernetic equipment they use. The Shadow Division article covers the combat units the Manei Domini belonged to rather than the individual soldiers themselves. I'm trying to make it a bridge between your MD article and the individual shadow division pages.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 19:52, 23 April 2010 (UTC) ==Manei Domini Article Questions== Hi Mbear, I have question regarding the tables i had put in there.

Why did you remove them for the vehicles/mechs/battlarmor? -- [[User:Wrangler|Wrangler]] 11:30, 26 April 2010 (UTC) :I replaced the tables with lists because I thought they were easier to read.

My project for the weekend is to put this on a special site. Can you give me ideas for an layout? I can write about every planet with defenders and attackers or every clan with attacks and defense operation. And i don't know if the possession wars were from 3060 - 3067 or shorter give my a backup please. [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 17:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC) :"And i don't know if the possession wars were from 3060 - 3067 or shorter give my a backup please." I'm not sure what the Possession Wars are, but if I remember correctly the time period is basically during the [[Truce of Tukayyid]]. So there wasn't a lot of Clan adventurism except for the Coventry invasion. The fighting you're talking about took place in the Clan homeworlds, right? :For the organization/layout of these you may want to look at the [[Operation: Ice Storm]] page. It looks like you've done some work on it so you're already familiar with the page structure. It provides a quick overview of each clan involved (and what galaxies were used), then moves on to describe the individual conflicts by time period. :What I might do if I was writing this article is start by organizing the info by Clan, then by time. So you might see: ------- ==Factions involved == This was a time of great upset for the homeworld clans. Since they weren't a part of the Inner Sphere invasion they had to sit at home and knit booties for their cadets. ===Clan Fluffy Bunny=== Alpha Galaxy - On ''date'' attacked ''other clan force'' on ''planetname''. The ''Fluffy Bunny Unit'' defeated ''other clan force'', but lost ''three trinaries/clusters'' in the process. ===Clan Pursuing Greyhound=== Beta Galaxy - On ''date'' won Trial of Possession with ''Other Clan'' for ''Something Totally Awesome''. ==Inter-Clan Conflicts during Truce of Tukayyid== ===3052=== Clan Fluffy Bunny sent their Alpha Galaxy to ''PillowFactoryPlanet'' to take control of their long lost PillowFactory. The Clan Swimming Monkey force guarding the factory was defeated by the Fluffy Bunnies, but the Bunnies lost two trinaries of the 7th Snow Hare Cluster in the process. The Bunnies took seven bondsmen from the Swimming Monkeys during the trial, which brought the 7th Snow Hare Cluster back up to strength. Clan Giant Dwarf staged a Trial of Refusal against Clan Micro Dinosaur for the Dwarf's famed cake recipe. The Dwarves were not successful, and soon the Micro Dinosaur Merchant Caste flooded the Homeworld markets with these tasty pastries, driving the Dwarf economy underground. ===3053=== Something happened. Something else happened. ===3065=== Something happened. Something else happened. ====The Big Something that Happened in 3065==== The Harvest Trials took place during this time. These trials allowed the Crusader clans to rebuild their forces quickly by capturing bondsmen, beans, and toothpaste from other clans. --------------- :Notice how the years get more detailed information about each event while the Clan-level stuff is just an quick overview. I don't know if that will help you or not, but I hope so. --[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 20:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC) ::I'm a little confused. In FM Crusader clans stood that the trials were held by Wolf and JAde Falcon during 3059 or was later did this kind or trial again... [[User:Neuling|Neuling]] 19:54, 24 April 2010 (UTC) :::I think the original Harvest Trials were held as you mention above. The example I provided was just that: An example. I needed something to fill the space. I'm sure there were other conflicts where one clan took another's forces in Trials of Possession.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 15:29, 26 April 2010 (UTC) ::::This is what I was thinking of! I knew the Jade Falcons and Vlad's Wolves used the Harvest Trials extensively after the Refusal War to rebuild. Vlad and Marthe Pryde were talking about it in Grave Covenant, and the Ice Hellion Khan was pissy because of how many people he lost.
