That's like... Half of it (basically only the 3025 mechs in MWO).

I was hoping there'd be a stage that "unlocked" ALL of them.

Could be stage 3. We don't know.
Could also see more depending on how production goes along 'cause if you look at the list, those are all the mechs we have in MWO for the IS atm.
We know they are using PGI assets so it's entirely possible they'd have to wait on PGI to create the new models for other mechs.

Gonna have to wait and see for that.

Perhaps that why October roadmap is (in my opinion) dissappointing?

There will be a QA stream with them soon, right?

So maybe someone could ask them if they'll be adding mechs that aren't part of the MWO's roster.

Well as far as it goes, the modelers at PGI still have the IIC and Marauder mechs to work on.
My guess is after that, we're gona see more mechs that will appear in both games.

You just want your quads, Juodas

My guess is that those are the 'mechs they know they have models for already, since all of them are MWO 'mechs.

I'd be surprised if there weren't some Unseen added to that list once it finalizes: Warhammer, Archer, Crusader, Marauder...

I suspect we will hit 1.35 million by tomorrow, and I could see 2 million by end of day Friday. If they can get some better exposure in the gaming media over the weekend I think 2.5 million is fully doable by the end of next week. This time frame would cover most peoples pay periods be they weekly or bi-weekly.

Personally, I'll be happy if stage 3 gets funded.

anybody knows how much IGP got from founders ? ...

At this point I will be happy with whatever we get, but I would like to get the most out of this that I can because who knows what will come along later. Will there be expansions, or new games like they did with Shadowrun? Will the Clans ever be an option? Hard to say, but I would like a game that allows me to choose an era to play in.

New plan for everyone able to participate! Everyone buy Power Ball tickets for tonight and then pledge to give HBS 10 million if you win!
No, seriously if I win I will give them 10 million.

IGP? No.

But the founder program netted roughly $5 million. How that was split between PGI and IGP, nobody outside PGI/IGP really knows (AFAIK it's never been announced anywhere).

Exclusive Atlas 'mech variant model (COSMETIC)

ye i read that, but it can be all 3 things, i describe... (your image isnt showing - unauthorized)

so its:

1) camo only - you must obtain the mech first ingame for that
2) mech with camo - playable
3) mech with camo - not playable ingame - cosmetic thing (like cockpit item here)

?

Great day in the morning, that was a beast of an update to get out!
Hey there!
For those of you just joining us, I’m Mitch Gitelman - studio manager of Harebrained Schemes and the little guy in the video. Still awake after a long hot day in the studio (no AC) and I’m answering as many questions as I can before my family drags me off my PC.
But please check the FAQ at the bottom of the KS page first, please. I stopped answering questions around midnight last night, so I'm going to scan the page before I start answering more questions in chunks.
Compiling questions to more answer now, while I send someone out to grab me a sammich.
Mitch

Its not like MWO doesnt already have a wide selection of IS mechs to make a game with.

But what if we had a wide.rrrr selection?

Would anyone complain about it? Would anyone complain about having more than a single 40 ton mech in the game? More than a single 20 tonner? I mean, in MWO we have an over-abundance of mechs of certain weight, while terribly lacking in other weights.
