Will I have to rebuy ammo once I use it up? Or will it reset after the match is over?

Will all mechs (excluding Founder mechs) have the same income earning potential? Or will some mechs earn more or less i.e. will there be an income modifier applied to mechs.

I understand if you kill more mechs etc you can earn more, but will an Atlas with 3 kills earn the same amount of c-bills as a Jenner with 3 kills.

Also where is Paul hiding?

Q: Will multiple Mercenary Corps be able to form alliances, and share pilots with each other?

Why is there a Kill-Death Ratio in a game based around teamwork? A kill-death ratio is an incentive to act selfishly in a game that seems like it requires teamwork to succeed. A win/loss ratio is fine, but a kill:death ratio?

Q: How do you decide where to place multiple hardpoint types within variants? (Such as the torsos for the Catapult K2 from mechlab screenshots; 2 Energy & 2 Ballistic)

Q: If you have two or more of the same ammo-consuming weapon on your weapons loadout, could those specific weapons share say one ton of the equivalent ammo?

Will the market be dynamic?

What I mean by this is, will prices of items/equipment be affected by supply and demand & will the market have more than simple grocery list type transactions. For example, when a new piece of technology is introduced into MWO, will it have a set price (static) that simply stays where it is regardless of how many people want it, can afford it, and/or end up purchasing it, or will its price be dynamic such that, perhaps, the first few runs actually go up on auction and are bid on making their value dynamic to the player demand and C-bill supply until the item is considered in 'widespread' use and becomes a normal listed item with an unlimited supply and a set price?

Of the videos we have seen so far of game play, the map environments look pristine and untouched. Are there any maps we haven't seen that have a more gritty war-torn feel to them? and can you share any information as to how varied the gameplay environments are in MWO?

Thanks!

Question:

If we buy a founder's package, when does the 2 months of premium gametime activate? Immediately upon the launch of the game, or when we first begin playing it post launch? I ask because my gaming computer recently broke and I may not be able to afford to replace it until after the game releases.

I really want to buy the founder's pack, but I'd had to think of losing some of that premium time (though the rest of the package remains an excellent deal).

Going back to the original Mechwarrior computer game, I really enjoyed the contract negotiation dynamic, and I'd love to see it return. Has that been baked into the shell in some way?

How many additional mech chassis will be available down the road after launch?

The MekTek release for MW4 Mercs added dozens of additional mechs that substantially increased the diversity of any given fight. Can the community expect to see a dramatic increase in allowable mechs chassis after launch?

Q: Seeing the unseen. Will we see the re-imagined Warhammer, Phoenix Hawk and the like as was seen in Project Phoenix in the B-tech books to allow the folks who make the battletech board games to keep using the warhammer and co, will we see these classic beasties in the game at any point?

Q: How is technology advancement taken care of?

Is new tech going to be generally available to everyone when it gets invented or is there a more natural spread? (the inventing faction gets it and then it slowly spreads to other factions/areas?)

Battle Recordings.
In starcraft you were able to replay battles since the file was saved to your local machine. Will this game feature saved ROMs [recording of the battle?]

Replayability of the ROM.
It would be nice to email the vid or post it to youtube with out having to convert it from propriatary content type first.

ROM
It's 4:05 and my brain and spell checker are asleep and i've slipped into a wierd spot thats pulling old Battletech Novel material and terms from the pages.
[edit]
BattleROM
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/BattleROM
The BattleTech equivalent of the ubiquitous "Black Box" and "Event Data Recorder", the BattleROM records and stores hundreds of hours of all sensor data from a ’Mech, from its internal and external sensors and communications.

Q: Imagine you would somehow aquire a license for the unseen artworks - would you use them for MWO?

[PirateNixon]

You are tying the current date to the MW timeline (which is really cool), is there any chance of accelerating it in the future so we can see some more advanced tech sooner?
