Innovative Design Concepts was a BattleMech design firm producing 'Mechs for the Solaris VII arenas.

Overview[edit]

One of the many Solaris 'Mech design firms, the Solaris City-based Innovative Design Concepts was the only one listed on the Lyran Alliance stock exchanges as of 3067. IDC's listing was based on CEO Ramon Pietro's desperate desire to enter the main-line 'Mech markets, despite the fact that unlike Vining Engineering and Salvage Team (a company that has developed truly new and unique designs which have entered mass production), IDC produced only extensive customization of existing designs such as its popular Daedalus and Longshot, based on the venerable Phoenix Hawk and Assassin respectively.[1]

IDC survived the Jihad, but afterwards struggled to compete with larger and more advanced manufacturers.[2]

Innovative Design Concepts has manufacturing centers on the following planets:
