O-P or O/P, or are they completely different?

In the O section, there are many "O-P"s, but are they the same as the "O/P" used in the Catapult and Catapult II articles? Thanks in advance for any answers.--Raven 2C (talk) 09:04, 28 September 2013 (PDT)

Hy Raven i know of the problem, but i follow the canon sources and when its stated O-P or O/P i follow the source, i hope this helps?--Doneve (talk) 11:17, 28 September 2013 (PDT)

Thank you. I guess I should just add the O/P part then. I was a bit confused because there is an "O/P 1078" and there is an "O-P 1078", and I thought they were the same thing.--Raven 2C (talk) 11:44, 28 September 2013 (PDT)

Need to check this article against PrydeRockIndustries fansite

We have found Fanon that was imported from a fansite by that name, and the format and the initial page creation here indicate a strong possibility that this will need to be checked for fanon and/or incorrectly cited info. --Talvin (talk) 21:45, 11 March 2022 (EST)

All Honor to GreekFire for tackling this and other massive issues in this article. Resolved. --Talvin (talk) 12:04, 13 April 2022 (EDT)

Mad Cat naming

I have removed the part about the genesis of the Mad Cat reporting name, as it inaccurately suggested the T&T system had somehow decided that name. That is not correct. Re-reading the passage, it just couldn't decide if the Timber Wolf was a MAD or CPLT series 'Mech. The Mad Cat designation was only mentioned later in the ComStar briefing, and seems to have been coined by ComStar. Frabby (talk) 15:56, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

Rules section

I think we should either scrap this entirely (Sarna recently formed a consensus to the effect that CGL is selling rulebooks so we shouldn't simply reproduce the rules here), or massively rewrite and trim it. It needs to be more generic; as-is, this section only covers the classic boardgame rules. Finally, the wording under "Combat" is weird - as written, it suggests a cumulative penalty to the to-hit roll and to the gunnery skill, i.e. applying the penalty twice. Frabby (talk) 15:56, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

I favor scrapping it. My reasoning is this: the Rules problem is huge, and if we insist that we have to rewrite every single rules section, it is going to place a demand on our limited volunteer-hours that simply cannot be met. Rewrites should be reserved for concepts that are particularly desired to be saved, such as Special Pilot Abilities. This page can function as a lore page just fine without the rules.--Talvin (talk) 16:22, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

Eden Microelectronics Wasat Aggressors

I normally stay far away from this stuff, but while doing my work on Historical: Operation Klondike I found the Eden Microelectronics Wasat Aggressor Type 5 (p. 172, Annihilator) and Eden Microelectronics Wasat Aggressor Type B (p. 174, Imp). I will leave it to those as are more conversant with the 'Mech Components Fandom to figure out what to mine from that and add here.--Talvin (talk) 08:44, 30 April 2022 (EDT)
