Q: For a recon 'mech, do you prefer sophistic gear and electronics (think Raven) or just raw speed and agility (Jenner or Spider) to get the job done? [Solis Obscuri]
A: Personally, I like the Jenner. I appreciate Ravens, and frankly they're probably more useful, but there's no feeling like JJing on top of a roof, banking quickly to the left, and watching an entire defensive line tumble into disarray. I once got a Hunchback to headshot his Atlas partner, and then blew up his left shoulder. Good times. [Garth]

Q: What will happen to ammo partially used up after each match? For example say I'm in a Centurion with an AC10 that has 1 ton worth of AC10 ammo. If I only fire 6 rounds by the end of the round, will I still have the remaining 4 rounds when I return to mech lab? [BFett]
A: Ammo resupply costs are done per round of ammunition, not per ton. [Garth]

Q: Will look left/right be implemented? [TigersRoar]
A: It essentially already is - if you hold CTRL (by default) you can look left, right, up, down, and all around the cockpit and out side windows. [Garth]

Q: Will you be adding B****in' Betty? This just wouldn't be the complete MechWarrior experience without her cold yet soothing voice telling me everything that's going wrong. [Alpha One]
A: We'd be fools not to. [Garth]

Hope you enjoyed these answers - with todays other announcement I'm sure our next Q&A will have a lot more questions about a certain newly announced feature ;)

Cheers,
The MechWarrior Online Team

My question about the implementation of Omnimechs wasn't answered, I fear the worst for when they eventually show up.

meh

Still waiting for the variant list I keep asking you for, no reason not to release that information, especially the variants already in-use in the closed beta

nice, love betty.



My questions are will we be able to full customize our mechs with our own camos or paint, put decals on it to say some sort of message, have omni slots on mechs and/or have omni mechs themselves (quoting Stormwolf), and how many maps and battle types will their be in the full version?
