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''' [[Buildatble|buildtable]].
An auction for the upcoming unit(s) is held every [[:Category:MekWars_mechanisms|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 bider.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.

+Most units on the black market are created automatically, and in most cases they are specifically sold to the black market. If a [[production|faction's hangars]] get too full, however, they can also ship units off to be sold on the black market. This process is random, and it becomes more likely as more units of a particular type accumulate in faction hangars.
-*Unit column gives a type of a unit for sale,the actual model is hidden.
+Units are listed for sale for 48 [[tick|ticks]], or 12 RL hours. The bidding process is a silent auction, where players may make bids(at a cost of 20 [[resources|influence]] each), and the high bidder at the end of the auction receives the unit. Money is not withdrawn until an auction is won, so be careful not to spend too many C-Bills if you have active bids outstanding. In order to see the unit being sold, you can click the Show Unit button. If you change your mind about a bid, you can retract it and guarantee that the money will not be spent, but you will not get the influence back.

+There is an option in the menus when right-clicking a unit to sell it on the black market, but this functionality is disabled on the server at present. Nothing will happen if you try to sell a unit.
