Black Market

Common factory

Common factory is the place where you buy units, produced by various independant manufacturers across the Inner Sphere. It's accessible via common factory tab. Unit model is determined randomly using appropriate rare buildtable. An auction for the upcoming unit(s) is held every tick. Only players with non-negative number of free bays participate (even though it's technically possible to bid in advance) and the unit goes to the highest bidder. Common factory produces a single unit each tick, excessive units from house bays also end up here, that's the reason there are sometimes more than one unit per tick for sale.
