Planets actually be worth something and have unique quirks. For example one planet could hold special factories which make it cheaper for the owning faction to produce PPCs or something. Or have special variants of mechs assigned to them.

More mech pre-order packs.

owning certain planets will let you buy more mech preorder packs

Here's a list of what I think Phase 3 will contain:

• Map reset
  
• 4v4 (This a CW feature that we've heard Russ talk about in some detail. He seemed to have a good idea of how it would work and how it would fit with Invasion mode, which means it's very likely to be the next big thing)
  
• Decal rewards for loyalty points. (Russ has also suggested decals are in the near future)
  
• Different path for Loyalist, Mercenary and Lone Wolf. (This is another thing Russ has talked about as a priority and gone into some detail about)

That's it.

I am pretty sure it will contain the following:

- Planet classes: urban, resources, industrial etc
- Factories on planets enabling the purchase of certain mechs.
- Real economy for CW separated from pugland.
- Supply lines and transportation.
- Player-defined governments affecting the meta game.
- Freedom to attack any planet assuming the attack can be supported by transportation, supplies and resources.
- Small planets reserved for pug players only.
- Mechs belongs to governments and placed as garrison on planets, unrelated to players-owned mechs.
- Taking planets increases taxes income for factions: more military purchases enabled.
- Jumpships and dropships.
- Planets with specific maps, no random.

This would be great and to see how it effects units. How jumpships and dropships would be used is interesting to. Will phase 3 leave room for an Aerotech expansion?

Maybe the next pod cast thingy will give specific details?

If that's all they can manage in 6 months, CW is doomed.
