Depends on how big a dick you got in the pecking order. Most use standards unless they're like a Star Captain or higher. It's not a bad thing, because otherwise you'd have newly-christened mechwarriors be the poor fucks picking through the omnipod leftovers after everyone else gets their customs together.

There's also the way omnis are supposed to be used vs. how super major characters use them. Omnis are supposed to swap out according the battle type. Have a Black Hawk and you're vehicle hunting solahma scum? Take a D. Having a duel against a single asshole for a rank up? Take an H. Want to put the fear of god into the elemental points holding the city? Take the L.

Major characters tend to optimize their machine to their fighting style instead, which winds up just being the same as a custom and pointless as an omni.


Also heard the guitar riff as soon as I started typing this post.

The only actually new clan founded was the Stone Lions who were a rebrand of the Homeworld Hell's Horses. It's more like a rebrand while castigating remnants than anything else. Every other clan is ratcheting the number down.

Well, I guess Jade Wolf was also kinda a thing for 5 minutes but that was also a rebrand of Falcons after they Absorbed the Wolves.

And also the Sea Foxes rebranding to Diamond Sharks and then back to Sea Fox.

The point is, you only really lose clans after Nicky. It's just that they change names sometimes...
