Operation Types:
  
 +
'''''Training''''': Training missions to help players practice with no losses to their hangar and for new players to gain experience to graduate from Solaris and join a campaign faction.
  
 +
'''''Skirmishes''''': Operations with few campaign consequences.
  
 +
'''''Pillages''''': Operations used to steal components or units from another faction
  
 +
'''''Assaults''''': Major Attacks intended to conquer a planet.
  
 +
'''''Aero''''': Space attacks with only aero units that are worth half as much planetary hold percentage.
  
Raid - now 90lyr range. No land exchange. Attacker captures a unit that they get to keep and components for their house. Best cBill return. Available to anyone regardless of XP.
 
Skirmish - the old Patrol. 30lyr range, same land exchange, moderate cBill payout, increased RP payout.
 
Conquest - the old Conquer. 30lyr range, same land exchange, very low cBill payout, nicest RP payout.
 
Kingslayer - same as before, only cBills adjusted down, RPs up.
 
  
Strategic/Militia operations have been renamed Mek/Vehicle.

Your faction must control a minimum of 15% of a planet in order to launch a Militia operation on that planet.
 
 
 
Starting with Operations for Conquer Factions, these are divided into subgroups defined by the subfaction settings of this server. Higher Subfactions have access to all operation types if they only meet the requirements for the specific ops, such as bv-spread or speed requirements. Lower Subfactions cannot access Higher Subfaction Operations.
 
 
Unless stated otherwise, the posted requirements are for the attacker only. The defender usually has a wide range of allowed army compositions.
 
 
 
'''Conquer Faction Subfaction 0 (Regular Commanders)''' has access to five different Operations against other Conquer Factions:
 
 
'''Patrol:'''

Militia - Patrol has no unit limits within the first 4 tanks and any unit thereafter.
 
The [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|bv spread]] is 500 maximum.
 
 
'''-Aero- Air Patrol:'''

To get access to -Aero- Air Patrol your army must range from 1500-6000 bv, must have 2 - 6 aero units which are up to 100 tons. The [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|bv spread]] is 700 maximum. -Aero- Air Patrol has a higher Attack Range than Operations for Ground Units.
 
 
'''Hit'n'Run:''' ([[Operation/Strategic - Hit'n'Run|Strategic]] | [[Operation/Militia - Hit'n'Run|Militia]])
 
This is a basic Operation for all Planets with the exception of Capitol Planets and involves a small landexchange.
 
To get access to Strategic - Hit'n'Run your army must range from 2000-8000 bv, must have 4 Mechs which are less than 85 tons and have either walking speed 5 or can jump 4. No infantry is allowed for the attacker.
 
Militia - Hit'n'Run has the same requirements just that you need 4 Tanks instead of 4 Mechs.
 
The [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|bv spread]] is 500 maximum. There is a chance for deep deployment. The winner of a Hit'n'Run either delays the target factory for a short time or refreshes it for the same value. The attacker must have less than 1000 exp. This operation grants a lot of money to the attacker.
 
 
'''Kingslayer:'''
 
This is the one and only Capitol Planet Operation and involves a good amount of landexchange. To get access to Kingslayer your army must have 4000 bv minimum and all units may not have less than 40 tons. There is no [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|bv spread]] and the pilots must have an average skillsum of 7.8 or lower. Both sides get Artillery support and additionally, the Defender gets a good amount of conventional mines to place.
 
 
'''Bonus Operation
 
Overwatch:'''
 
This is an operation similar to Patrol with the following additions: it is AFR-only and the attacker recieves a small amount of artillery while the defender gets to place some conventional mines.
 
 
 
 
'''Conquer Faction Subfaction 1 (Frontline Commanders)''' has access to an additional seven different Operations against other Conquer Factions:
 
 
'''Pillage:'''
 
This is a raid Operation for Planets containing Factories with the exception of Capitol Planets and involves landexchange.
 
To get access to Strategic - Pillage your army must range from 2000-11000 bv, must have 4 Mechs, a vehicle and an infantry unit but no more than 4 vehicles and infantry.
 
Militia - Pillage just requires 4 Tanks and an infantry unit.
 
The [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|bv spread]] is 600 maximum and your pilots must have an average skillsum of 8.6 or lower. Winning a Pillage attack delays the factories, steals a decent amount of components and 1-2 units from the faction bays. Winning a Pillage defense grants components to the factories.
 
 
'''Capture:'''
 
This is a raid Operation for Planets containing Factories with the exception of Capitol Planets and involves landexchange.
 
To get access to Strategic - Capture your army must range from 2000-11000 bv, must have 4 Mechs, a vehicle and an infantry unit but no more than 4 vehicles and infantry which can at least walk 5 or jump 3.
 
Milita - Capture just requires 4 Tanks and an infantry unit besides the speed limit.

Capture grants artillery pieces for support to the attacking side and conventional mines for the defending.

'''-Aero- Orbital Operation:'''
 
This is an invasion Operation for all Planets with the exception of Capitol Planets and involves a small amount of landexchange. To get access to -Aero- Orbital Operation your army must range from 4000-18000 bv, must have 6 - 12 aero units which are up to 200 tons.

'''Faction-Unique Super Operation:'''
 
These Operations are unique for every faction and must take place on Factory Planets with the exception of Capitol Planets. To get access to your faction's unique operation - experiment! A general hint for everyone: No maximum bvs and the higher your armies are, the better the payout. Unit Requirements such as number of units involved and classes of units involved differ for every faction as well as different payouts, meta awards and pilot gains. The [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|bv spread]] is 1000 maximum and the rewards get better the higher your game bv is.
 
Supersize Me!
 
 
 
'''Bonus Operation

Rumors: Allthough unconfirmed, the Great House's Intels suspect Comstar to be responsible for a few devastating attacks on selected targets. You may try to assault an HPG Station but beware Blake's Wrath!
 
 
 
'''Additionally, General Operations:'''
 
 
'''Tutorial:'''
 
Armies legal for attacking tutorials have 1000-7000 total BV, have at least 4 non-infantry units and no more than 4 vehicles and 1 Infantry Platoons. Tutorials can only be launched against SOL, meks aren't lost in them and they only pay a few hundred cbills to the involved players.

To get access to -Aero- Sim Flight your army must range from 1-2499 bv, must have 1 - 5 aero units with no tonnage limit. There is no bv spread. -Aero- Sim Flight has a higher Attack Range than Operations for Ground Units.
 
 
 
 
NOTE: DO NOT PLAY A TOURNEY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH C-BILLS ON HAND TO COVER YOUR BAY EXPENSES >>> You have been warned.
 
Losers get no pay and will lose any bays they can't pay for after the fight.
 
 
'''Cruiser Tourney:'''
 
This is a free-for-all arena for single units up to 60tons and is double-blind. Everyone receives some mines and fled units may get scrapped, pushed off units may get salvaged. Expect bad payout and no campaign effects. One player each faction.

1.) The Penalty for finishing Operations without enough bv destroyed was increased dramatically. On the other hand, Payouts for properly played games are better now.

# Victory Conditions "BV Ratio Percent" and "Destroy Enemy BV" are enabled for all operations and both must be met to trigger an automatic Victory.
2.) Units that are pushed off the map have a chance to get scrapped or salvaged. This is to discourage edgecamping.
 
3.) To discourage min-maxing, armies that are only legal for high bv-spread operations do not count towards Production. Building balanced armies is encouraged.
 
4.) Counterattacks are disabled.
 
5.) Operations for Conquer Factions have an ELO-adjustment. This means that all payout may vary depending on the rating of the participating players
 
6.) Victory Conditions "BV Ratio Percent" and "Destroy Enemy BV" are enabled for all operations and both must be met to trigger an automatic Victory.
 
7.) ALL Games are Double Blind.
 
8.) All Ground Operations allow 1 Conventional Fighter unit per side, Super Ops and Team Ops even 2 per side.
