Clan tech in market?
In the Clan invasion era, I've been seeing alot of clan weapons for sell? Not sure if its a bug or feature? If feature I would think its reasonable for the IS to salvage the clan mechs. To use and sell what they choose to.

I've even seen IS faction mechs use clan weapons in battle? (Which has to be a red flag)

I've checked the steam search, just see a bunch of MW5M clan dlc discussions. LOL

Mods, YA-revamped quirks equipment, cantina unlocker, YAISM, YASM, mod options, YA-legenday mech, the known universe, YA-special variant, YA-equipment collection, YAML, TTAI rulez, YAW, Sounds of war, YACM, Adv career start, and YAWC.

The (Only spawn Clan tech is black market) with a check mark or not doesn't matter?

Not really there's a lot of lore and mod changes for beginners.

I remember asking the same question a while ago and people saying the Clans wouldn't sell their mechs to IS. (Which I never said that?)
