You've got that a bit backwards. Mercs don't own or control planets. Factions do. I think you may have misunderstood part of it. Factions will be the ones that can move planetary boundaries. The mercs can be hired by factions to assist them.
They've stated repeatedly mercs can actually own planets in the outlying areas (near the Periphery). Wouldn't surprise me if they go back on it though.

Good point OP. Heres a list of weapon preferences i threw together. Maybe mine is similar to all of yours. This should be what PGI picks up in their metrics from me.
Weapons I use most of the time;
ac20, ac10, UAC, ac5, ac2, PPC, ER large, Large, Medium Lasers
weapons I seldom use;
LRMs, SRMs, Streaks, ER PPC, small laser, Gauss rifle, Tag
weapons I never use;
LBX, Machineguns, Flamers, Pulse Lasers, NARC
We could do almost an entire thread on just this, heh.
Mostly:
AC/20, AC/5, PPC, ER PPC, Medium Laser, Small Laser, Small Pulse Laser, SRM2-6.
Often:
LRM, Gauss, TAG, Streaks
Rarely:
Large Pulse, Medium Pulse, AC10
Never:
Flamer, NARC, LBX/10, Machine Guns, AC/2.
Bonus: Worst piece of equipment in the game:
The NARC Beacon wins, defeating the Flamer and Machine Gun without even trying!
