*I strongly disagree with treating non-story content as fiction. I agree that there should be article links to individual short stories, but I do not consider pieces like unit digests or in-universe news snippets worthy of having their own article. We're not doing this for the content of any other magazine either, and the resulting articles are stub-level empty. Unless someone can give a really good reaons why we should make individual articles like [["Mother of Resistance" Dead on Vipaava]], I shall delete those articles and put their content into this article.

Double Cover
I'm idiot. I didn't see the individual cover for issue one. I do think there should be something on top thou. -- Wrangler (talk) 09:25, 30 May 2020 (EDT)
- I was going to ask you about that.. I was actually just looking at both files trying to figure out if they are different! I was following the template of the BattleTechnology article with issue art being next to the issue (looks a bit bare now but will make sense when we have more issues). On the subject of having something upto I agree, I was thinking of cropping the image to just show the title.--Dmon (talk) 09:32, 30 May 2020 (EDT)
Various issues
I have removed the superfluous "Contents" chapter headers. Beyond that, I have two more major issues with this article as it currently is:
- I don't like how the entire product infobox is repeated for every issue. There is hardly any data in the infobox to begin with, and what little is there is very repetitive. I suggest using the BattleTechnology article (or any other magazine article we have, really) as a template and simply give the cover under each new issue's chapter header.
- I strongly disagree with treating non-story content as fiction. I agree that there should be article links to individual short stories, but I do not consider pieces like unit digests or in-universe news snippets worthy of having their own article. We're not doing this for the content of any other magazine either, and the resulting articles are stub-level empty. Unless someone can give a really good reaons why we should make individual articles like "Mother of Resistance" Dead on Vipaava, I shall delete those articles and put their content into this article.

- With regard to non-story content, I think a lot of those pieces could just link to their subject - TRO entries to the 'Mech/vehicle, unit digests to the unit, etc. -Tumult&Travail (talk) 08:37, 18 June 2022 (EDT)
