Is there info somewhere as to what exactly the end product of this game is suppose to be? As in a projected mech list, map descriptions, gametypes, and anything else.

Also will this game ever support private servers and any type of map tools? You might be suprised my how many people out there can pump out some amazing maps.

For the projected Mech List: http://www.sarna.net...by_weight_class There is no set time frame on when all the mechs will be included, but PGI has indicated that the list will be very exhaustive.

Community warfare, full unit/house/clan system and territory control is in the works.

They said they were considering the ability for private matches. A few of us asked for a community content pipeline, but haven't heard anything back about it.

EDIT: I should note that super heavy, colossal and ultralight battlemechs are not currently planned, just light, medium, heavy and assault.

This will be a continually developed product. There is no "end product".

This is addressed in podcasts. They know user created content is awesome. No there is no intention of allowing private servers.... and with that being said there are certain legal issues with hosting some content on their servers.

It is an MMO and by defination there will never be an end product for as long as the game is active. They will always be adding new content and features up till they decide to shut down the servers.

As to user generated content. Yeah it would be nice if they had some of this functionality. I would love to see under generated maps, HUD overlays, statistical tools, etc. However I don't think we will have them available to us in this game. It just doesn't seem to have been designed with this functionality in mind.
