You will have the option to buy another slot for mech credits, JUST like world of tanks. This is so that when you want another mech but like the ones you have, you pay monies for another slot.

as a holder of Legendary, I will have 4 regular slots, get 4 MORE slots for founders (which are worth about 300-500 mc apiece), and have the 4 mechs already in my garage. the Legendary pack is worth more than people realize

[Gangben]

Each founders Mech has its own slot according to the devs. So no matter if you are Elite or Legendary, you have your Mech(s) and your four slot.

This!

I am going all out here. I will have at least 1 chasis for each mech, perhaps eventually go for variants as well. Only time will tell.

The advantage won't be that big of a deal quickly. When new mechs come out there will have to be a reason to buy them, there is always power creep in free to play games. Also peoples favorite mechs will come out. The number of founders using those mechs will go down and more people will join reducing the amount you'll see them.

Whether or not the founders Mechs would have come with extra slots - it would have made not the slightest difference for me. In the end, I'll buy each and every single Mech I can get my hands on, so much for sure.

Why shouldnt people who pay (alot) of money get extra slots? That is one of the things F2p games sell. I wouldnt surprise to see slots of sale after the game opens up.

Slots will be for sale.

[Chops Sauron]

well slot me in for the extra slots then ... <vtic>
I for one don't see what the fuss is about, paid money for elite founder but I don't see myself as one of "those" unbalancers :-)

[Phasics]

more mechs doesn't make you a better player

[Ken Fury]

Since you can only pilot one Mech at a time i don't see the need to "balance" it.

This is not another one of those, "F0uNd3r's m3chs 4re uNb4lanc3d" threads. But this is one of those threads about the amount of 'mechs allowed in your 'mech bay. How are we going to keep it balanced?
What I mean is, since legendary founders are given four mechs. Those four mechs would take up the four slots given to you. What do you do then? You can't add any mechs, you could only buy weapons for the mechs. Unless the devs add the option to buy more slots (and I'm sure they will), but that forces the legendary members to pay for the extra slots with the C-Bills you bought with your hard earned cash, so you can buy your favorite mechs and expand your playing experience.
I find this to be the greediest alternative and am completely against it.
They could also give you the slots for the Founder's 'mechs AND the other four slots, but then you would have eight slots compared to the other players five and four, depending on what package (if any) they bought.
This, again, would not be fair.
Another way they could do it would be that you are able to move your Founder's mechs into storage and back out at anytime, so you could tweak your preferences.

The point is, I would just like to know how the devs would handle this situation.

EDIT:
Must have missed the puny scrap of reading this answer was posted to. Ah well....

odds are founders mechs = free mech slot.

[Leded]

i was "kind of" wondering that myself to be honest, but didn't take the time to look into it. so maybe a few more lazy people like me are more well informed now

That's true. I'm using WoT for an example. There used to be a lot of Lowes in the the games. As the more tanks were added or became affordable by grinding for credits. We don't see Lowes that much anymore. It'd be shocking to see more than 3 Lowes in a battle. I do plan to get a Hunchback to grind for the other Mechs when I buy Elite shortly. Will I play other Mechs more than the Hunchback? I can't answer that one yet.

[Freyar]

I want all four, simple as that. Status Symbol, as well as just convenience.

[Deathwalker]

Look at it like this, the Founders will run out of room for buying more mechs as you will have 4 more slots you can buy and put whatever mech you want in

Founders will have four extra unused mechbay slots anyway?

Yep. An Elite founder will have a slot used for their choice of one founder merc plus 4 free mechbay slots. A Legendary founder will have 4 used slots as well as 4 free mechbay slots.

I think OP has had enough. Its not our fault he didn't bother to do research or use the search function. Give us (and I guess him) abreak,

He learned, questions answered. Time to go home and have a grilled cheese.

Yes, but they also paid for $80 of in game creds, a place in the credits, an awesome forum tag, four C-Bill powerhouses and three months of premium.

And the problem is....
