That actually matches a throw away line in Field Manual Crusader Clans under Clan Ice Hellion. Page 81 under Military Assets speaks about most of the Clan's production being center on Hector with two factories on Babylon which produce most of its aerospace fighters. Under Aerospace Assets just below that it speaks of the Hellions changing ways at least in this field to produce heavier assets rather than light weight ones. They prefer the Visigoth and the Sabutai.

I've seen the line "multiple production lines" more than a few times in descriptions. I see the whole Quicksilver thing with singular production rights being fine but I think some Clans will have multiple lines producing their designs.

This is another plus for Quicksilver realignment as it shifts lines and helps us understand where everything is at.

So modified my list a little. Just did OmniMechs but added their movement abilities/pod space and armor factor. Was trying to look for trends after reading older posts about Clans and Speed or if one is more likely to use Jump Jets and such. Wanted a quick easy way to evaluate them.

Nice bud did you ever shack out Periphery worlds from the Clan World List?

No but I can, you mentioned you were working on it already the other day so didn't double the work at the time.

No but I can, you mentioned you were working on it already the other day so didn't double the work at the time.

And so I have. I basically have been dividing the Coreward Periphery into three giant regions. Please add to the list if you can.

1. Clan Frontier. This area encompasses 'Clan space' from the Kerensky Cluster to the Pentagon Worlds and includes everything Coreward of Pivot (Smoke Jaguar holding where you could first see the Homeworlds from). The Veil of the Protector (aka the Caliban Nebula) is the big border 'wall' here which separates Clan territory from all else. About 100 light years Rimward of the Pentagon Worlds this natural barrier safeguarded Clan security for years and on the other side of it and Pivot I think your chances of running into a Clan patrol go up markedly.
       Tanite Worlds (Tanis, Alexandra, Stacha)
       Pivot

2. Deep Periphery. Fly over country for the Clans is this great expanse from the Caliban Nebula to the Chainelane Isles and Columbus. Extremely desolate go between area is home to 22 Clan Bases as well as other worlds. There is about a 200 light year gap between the Caliban Nebula and the first Clan bases although it is possible there were more we don't know of. Clearly civilization really falls off here as there is not too many established settlements between the Clans and the InnerSphere. A few like Siroc and the Khwarazm Empire have been conquered by the Clans. There is also Explorer Corps operations occurring here and some piracy although the further they go from civilization the more desperate these units are likely to be.
      Jade Falcon (5 - Trinity, Cambridge PDS, Santiago, Transfer J239H2, St. Jean)
   Khwarazm Empire (4- Heart, Nishapur, Marv, Urgenj, all occupied by Jade Falcon)
      Steel Viper (3 - Wark, Kinbrace, Ramsey)
   Siroc (1 - Steel Viper occupied possibly later than 3055)
      Wolf (4- Wolf Orbital 82, Transfer Station P3, Transfer Station P9, Harris)
      Ghost Bear (1+ - Trelleborg, could be more as blurb speaks of them dismantling bases)
      Nova Cat (3 - Gwithian, Salonika, Ctesiphon)
      Smoke Jaguar (4 - Transfer Facility 4, Suda Bay, Ghent, Nouveaux Paris)
      Diamond Shark (2 - Bazaar, Attenbrooks)

3. Near Periphery. From the old Rim Worlds and even some old Draconis planets there were many inhabited planets that are near the InnerSphere but they are Periphery for sure. Before the Clans these territories were home to the Bandit Kingdoms which were plowed under like so much chaff by the 3050 juggernaut. Later this area became known as the Barrens. I would also include the Chainelane Isles as part of this region although they are the last stop before the Deep. According to ilKhan Leo Showers this was an 'open territory' not a corridor for any of the Invading Clans.

Got most of this done two weeks ago but just finished the majority of the rest just waiting on Takiro to give me info on three designs I couldn't find on here.

Was interesting reading through all the design challenges prior to me coming back around on here. Would have been fun to have taken part. Oh well.

I'll update once I get the last of the info from Tak.

For some reason it made me create multiple pdfs when I attempted save as pdf thats a first for me.
