WardenWolf, the Banshee 3E is not a variant. It's the original model. That being said, the arms don't have any weapons on them. So consequently, will the Banshee 3E be aloud to mount weapons on it's arms or not?

We don't even know if the mech will be in the game at this point. From everything I have seen in screenshots and the official videos, it does not look like there are any hardpoints in mech sections that didn't have weapons... so I would take that to mean none on the Banshee's arms if it is ever added. That also might be a really good reason for the Devs to *skip* that mech entirely, though, since it would limit its usefullness.

So? It's still a decent starter mech considering the fact that there's a profit in switching its 4/6 STANDARD fusion engine to a 3/5. Then the leftover money could be used for ferro-fibrous or something. Plus, with the huge room for weapon armaments, you now have a mech that is a beasty as it looks. Plus, I believe in the MWO artists in that they can make the Banshee one of the coolest looking mechs ever.

Will you be implementing some kind of MWO: Mobile system for Mobile Phones? Just think about it! People who can't play MWO since they're at work or school could get updates on the Inner Sphere war, or trade some kind of mech-stock, or manage the moods of your repair technicians (happy technicians leave kind notes in your cockpit in-game!) or.. or... or do something immersive and interactive that sorta-kinda affects the game!

It's for those of us who really jones for the game yet can't play. =(

Ok i have got a really good question here for you devs. Will the structures be destructable and cause splash damage to a mech if its near by. like if a mech is near a rather large gas tank and you shoot it with lasers or something will it blow up and cause damage or outright destory the mech?

[sirius89]

Will we get mech painting options with a huge color palette and fhe ability to apply more than one color on each individual part of the mech?I think there was a thread somewhere on the forums where people photoshopped the artworks and applied differentp paintjobs for the mechs.If we could get this costumization it would be truely awesome.

Can we perhaps have a few new mechs added to the beta test drive? I'd love to try a jagermech, or raven

reposting...
i am a pilot in real life and an avid flight sim person. as such, i have both a 3 axis joystick as well as a set of foot pedals that give me three extra axis(sliding the pedals forward and backward or rotating the pedals independently by pushing on your toes). [/color]

my question is whether or not i will be able to use these axis to their full potential. mainly i have an idea that i would like to use one rotation axis on my pedals to move forward and the other rotation axis to move backward. as well as the sliding axis (both pedals are linked together for this like airplane rudder pedals) as lower body rotation control. will this be available? what preparation have you put into people who have pedal setups similar to to mine?[/color]

Q: Can we get someone other than Garth to answer these? If no, can you explain what you did to get this assignment?

Q: Can we get some more Dev interaction on the forums? This is starting to feel like TOR, and that didn't end well.

For those asking about St. Ives, in the galaxy map of the Community Warfare, you can see that St. Ives is located as a part of the Capellan Confederation. Check on the left side of the image

There was a time before the FRR was in as a playable faction, there may yet be a time where St. Ives is a playable faction.

Will there be any PVE and Salvaging destroyed mechs?

Will there be huge open world maps or is it all arena based ?

[nksharp]

1. When will open beta start so I can play with my friends who can't afford to pay $30 + to play the game. Or will there ever be a way to send invites out to friends for founders?

2. Why do we not gain more speed when losing limbs since we essentially weigh less. I would also like the ability to remove my own arms on a mech if I don't need them since I usually have nothing on some arms depending on what I am building.

Will this game be balanced in terms of competitive play or public play? As in all games certain strategies tend to be more popular depending on what type of play it is and their strengths. Whether or not your main vision in mind is to balance on what's practical(Low skill) or whats capable(High skill) - in terms of balance.


I asked previously on 11, please pick mine!

Don't be hatin'... I have searched for this but didn't find anything:

Q. Are there plans to add friendly unit composition and status to the HUD?

Example:

Friend1: Atlas (color highlight showing damage. Green = good, yellow = damaged, red = really hurt, grey = dead, and a possible disconnected color)
Friend2: Jenner
Friend3: Hunchback
etc...

Q: Will it be possible to put more than just a unit insignia on your mech? I'm thinking about markings like WW2 bomber nose art.
