Introduction

I notice in Era Digest: Age of War the introduction is dated in 2456 and in the 'mech article, the first building is in 2570, hmm i think this is a very long time stretch about the two dates, any thoughts.--Doneve 03:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Inconsistencies

In the variants section, should it be in the present or past tense? It seems to switch around a lot. BobTheZombie (talk) 08:31, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

I've always been under the impression that Sarna endeavours to use the past tense where possible, but I can't remember seeing it documented anywhere. Frabby's a good person to ask... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 09:32, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

Apochryphal Variant: ON1-P Protector

The ON1-K Kerensky appears in MechWarrior Online as the ON1-P Protector Hero 'Mech, also notable for its extremely distinctive black and orange paintjob. The snub-nose PPC is replaced with a standard model due to the former not being implemented in game, but the layout is otherwise identical.121.99.60.113 21:49, 7 September 2013 (PDT)

SRM Placement

I am so glad to see that this article describes the Orion's SRM launcher as being on the left arm as it should be, rather than stubbornly insisting that it is instead located in the left torso. For some reason they keep denying that there is a simple typo in the stat block (LT instead of LA) and instead insist that all of the artwork and all of the descriptive text of the Orion, even though the Orion's LA/LT would hardly be the only typo in that book. For further evidence, if any more is even needed; the ON1-V variant actually has a second SRM added to the right arm, and we are apparently supposed to believe the designers actually moved the original SRM from the left torso the the left arm before adding an SRM to the right arm, rather than just adding an additional SRM to the right arm to match the left.
