Mix tech, or Great House built Clan spec mechs are showing up in general use in 3145 onward.
Do you, as writers, have any guide lines, rules of thumb, quirks, or habits that help you pick what equipment gets upgraded to Clan spec?
These examples are just some random picks from SSW, but why does AS7-D3 get a Clan Streak 20, and medium xpulse, rather than an IS LRM 20 and Clan medium pulse? Why does the Vulpes use IS DHS, not Clan?
What do the conversations leading to these decisions look like? That is assuming assuming that anyone can share.
