You'd think this was an easy question but then on occassion, going all Magnificent Seven has a particular draw all its own. : )
Who are you willing to take contracts from?

Since 'Pirates' is a faction, you can certainly take contracts with them. Higher salvage contract options might be the 'reward' for working with pirates. This sounds pretty good. ARRRR, it's a pirates life for me!
So, yes, apologies. I used the term 'nuked' to mean, 'cracked the atmospheric dome of a city on a toxic planet.' As for being 'anti-nuke', you are correct, The Knights of the Inner Sphere were very anti nuke. But those Davies were provided by Marik Nationalist to Marik Rebels to be used against Word of Blake transplants that Sir Thomas Marik allowed on planet. It was a political morass of issues, and of course the mercs got shafted.
Correct. I blame Comstar.
~Leone.
Whoever provides the most challenging contracts for me is whom I will take work for. Especially if they are the Draconis Combine.
Which Inner Sphere freebirths will I allow to pay me while I await word from Strana Mechty? Well, as a warden, all of hem!
I blame Comstar too.
(*not sure why we are blaming Comstar, but don't care either. blaming Comstar falls into the same category as saving the planet for me. you just do it!)
Blame Comstar? For what? They're just a harmless group of monks, facilitating interstellar communications!
this oneWhoever pays the bills, until I get shafted by one. Then they are blacklisted or paying a premium.
Indeed, it isn't in the game right now. But in success... It's mainly from a role-playing point of view that I "distrust" Liao and Kurita.
Houses Kurita and Liao ~ Davion foils since like... forever.
But that's what I like about HBS. When they held up Game of Thrones as one of the inspirations for BATTLETECH's Story Arcs, they gave me hope that while BATTLETECH characters might seem to be Black Hats and White Hats, the reality might turn out to be something else entirely!
There is no White
There is no Black
Only Shades of Gray, flowing toward one extreme or the other

The destruction of a domed city on Sirius V in 3028 was a frame job devised by a comstar precentor and his lacky who happened to be a free worlds league noble. The Precentor new about the star league cache on helm which the free worlds league gave a sizeable fief upon said planet to the mercenary outfit the grey death legion. Certainly wasn't a betrayal by the free worlds league. A comstar plot and a corrupt noble!
However in 2770 the free worlds league did try to confiscate a bunch of mercenary mechs after a battle claiming breach of contract. I believe the Black Warriors were involved and gathered a rag tag group of mercenary commands and escaped forming the Circinus Federation in the periphery.
Of even more concern Thomas Marik the current ruler in 3025 does develop anti mercenary sentiments later in his rule i believe in the mid to late 3050s.
Though generally the free Worlds league treats mercenaries well their have been times where this is not the case.
This being said when it comes to company store policies the Draconis Combine and the Federated Suns are the worst of the worst. Just ask units like Paul Bunyon's Regiment, Wolfs Dragoons and the Northwind Highlanders!

You forgot that time that Anton Marik decided to take control of Wolfs Dragoons. Of course that did not end well for him.
Yup. Kurita did a somewhat simliar thing to the Eridani Light Horse after they tried to break contract after the Kentares massacre.

Mmm, remember, Mason Garrilac was ELH.
Some people were not surprised at the ruthlessness he displayed when one of his own was killed.
I want to work for the biggest fish in our lake, their is no point in working for the losing side.
Depends on the playthrew. If I am playing a more honorable merc pirates and things are a no go. If I am playing a money > all then high payer wins no matter who.
Anton Marik was a rebel fighting against the rightful ruler of the Free Worlds League Janos Marik. Wolf dragoons should have took a contract with the government not some rebel who ended up betraying the dragoons and of course we know how that ended for Anton!
If a civil war erupts in the Free Worlds League....avoid it like the plague!
