I was thinking of going the PM route myself; the issue of copying had occured to me as well. It's definitely better if nobody knows what anyone else is submitting until after the fact.
Gentlemen, sharpen your pencils!

I have the baseline down for most of the mechs already.
I already have about 30 'excellent' custom designs (ones i think are good) but only one or two are in the lot, its much more fun to design them than it is to use one you already have.
Now you say Periphery or merc unit? That is a key point!

Use you imaginations; there's really no limitations becides the number of 'mechs which can be submitted. I'll also be judging based on how well the designs would work together. A band of 8 100 ton 'mechs would not win.
As for tech level, any level one or level two stuff would be fine. Refits of cannon designs are OK as well, but no more than one or two per submission. The bulk of stuff should be custom.

How much stake would you put on fluff mud?
And must all eight mechs work together?
What if because of fluff reasons, one or two of them (or none of them) work very well together?

Well, the idea is to have a well-rounded compliment of 'mechs; this is what I mean when I say they should work together, or compliment one another and cover each other's weaknesses. I'm not too concerned with fluff, but it always helps.
