Please let me know if I missed any or have the incorrect order (I listed the 1st three in alphabetical order).

There are only going to be 10 at Open Beta/Early Access, but with variants the total count is listed at 40, citation

That is a good link (albeit an open letter type huge wall of text), hopefully once they have CB2 underway comfortably they will put out a new update with their plans going forward.

If "starships" were meant to fly, then urbie mechs were made to die xP

The OP is actually correct, there is no obvious list of confirmed 'Mechs on this site. New people rely entirely on the established community to answer their questions. If they ask a "noob" question, then they are probably unfamiliar with any part of the site like the images section or old dev posts. So simply help them out and let the thread go quiet after they have their answer. I promise, new threads don't take up that much space in the forum database.

To the OP, here is a good guide by another forum user here. It compiles information you should need to know in one place: MWO Primer.

After a quick scan, that is a good link right there. It compiles about 1~2 weeks of forum lurking that I did before I started posting to get up to speed on MW:O itself, plus a good deal of info that people unfamiliar with sarna.net would find helpful, if not interesting.

Wow, looks like the playerbase in MWO will be a collection of asshats just like every other online game.

The OP posted what he thought was useful information. If it was useful or not makes little difference. He was trying to help and he certainly did no harm.

Flaming him says nothing about him and everything about the flamer.

The more I read this forum the more I am convinced I should stay away from it.

Updated with the new addition of the Spider.
Interesting mech. 30T and very fast but only 2 medium lasers stock in the main variant. No missile hardpoints, so no chance for NARC beacons and I don't think any variants have missile hardpoints either. Some variants have machine guns so there is a possibility for ballistic, but I think ballistic weapons on a light mech are not that effective due to the lack of tonnage available to mount them.
