== O-P or O/P, or are they completely different? ==
  
In the O section, there are many "O-P"s, but are they the same as the "O/P" used in the ''[[Catapult]]'' and ''[[Catapult II]]'' articles? Thanks in advance for any answers.--[[User:Raven 2C|Raven 2C]] ([[User talk:Raven 2C|talk]]) 09:04, 28 September 2013 (PDT)

:Hy Raven i know of the problem, but i follow the canon sources and when its stated O-P or O/P i follow the source, i hope this helps?--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] ([[User talk:Doneve|talk]]) 11:17, 28 September 2013 (PDT)
 
::Thank you. I guess I should just add the O/P part then. I was a bit confused because there is an "O/P 1078" and there is an "O-P 1078", and I thought they were the same thing.--[[User:Raven 2C|Raven 2C]] ([[User talk:Raven 2C|talk]]) 11:44, 28 September 2013 (PDT)
 
==Need to check this article against PrydeRockIndustries fansite==
 
We have found Fanon that was imported from a fansite by that name, and the format and the initial page creation here indicate a strong possibility that this will need to be checked for fanon and/or incorrectly cited info.  --[[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 21:45, 11 March 2022 (EST)
 
: All Honor to [[User:GreekFire|GreekFire]] for tackling this and other massive issues in this article.  Resolved. --[[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 12:04, 13 April 2022 (EDT)
 
 
 
== Mad Cat naming==
 
I have removed the part about the genesis of the ''Mad Cat'' reporting name, as it inaccurately suggested the T&T system had somehow decided that name. That is not correct. Re-reading the passage, it just couldn't decide if the ''Timber Wolf'' was a MAD or CPLT series 'Mech. The ''Mad Cat'' designation was only mentioned later in the ComStar briefing, and seems to have been coined by ComStar.

==Rules section==
 
I think we should either scrap this entirely (Sarna recently formed a consensus to the effect that CGL is selling rulebooks so we shouldn't simply reproduce the rules here), or massively rewrite and trim it. It needs to be more generic; as-is, this section only covers the classic boardgame rules. Finally, the wording under "Combat" is weird - as written, it suggests a cumulative penalty to the to-hit roll and to the gunnery skill, i.e. applying the penalty twice.

: I favor scrapping it.  My reasoning is this:  the Rules problem is ''huge'', and if we insist that we have to rewrite every single rules section, it is going to place a demand on our limited volunteer-hours that simply cannot be met.  Rewrites should be reserved for concepts that are particularly desired to be saved, such as [[Special Pilot Abilities]].  This page can function as a lore page just fine without the rules.--[[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 16:22, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

==Eden Microelectronics Wasat Aggressors==
 
I normally stay far away from this stuff, but while doing my work on ''[[Historical: Operation Klondike]]'' I found the Eden Microelectronics Wasat Aggressor Type 5 (p. 172, Annihilator) and Eden Microelectronics Wasat Aggressor Type B (p. 174, Imp).  I will leave it to those as are more conversant with the 'Mech Components Fandom to figure out what to mine from that and add here.--[[User:Talvin|Talvin]] ([[User talk:Talvin|talk]]) 08:44, 30 April 2022 (EDT)
