Can we move around in bases etc using a character for example when we're organizing and equipping our mech, or do we only see ourselves as mechs in this game?

I like how EVE has done it now allowing players to do all their preparations as a character before venturing out and "becoming their space ship".

The FAQ is your friend...

Q. Can I get out of the Mech?

A. Will you be able to get out of the Mech? No. One of our gameplay design pillars is that we are putting you in the role of the pilot (MechWarrior®) in a first person perspective

That Q & A sound like a reference to in battle gameplay.

Are we animals, or dancers!?

[Mason Grimm]

There is no "out of battle game play". Aside from maybe the Mechlab but I highly doubt they will have little animated mechwarriors running around with wrenches allowing you to twist bolt Z righty-tighty

That's alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll she wrote.

after 3days in the cockpit we will be a bit ripe

They did it in EvE. I don't know, how big can mech warrior get, over expansions/updates? I really have low expectations for MWO! I see this as a nice forum to learn about battletech and get excited about mechs, and hey if they make a playable game, a fun game, all the better. I always have MW4 Mercs and I'm happy.

Well one day I hope we can have our own avatars, not much functionality other than hanging out with your guild or faction members at the mechbay, cantina, command HQ or whatever else.

It'll be great if they can allow us to have our own uniforms too. Don't mind paying for it for extra customisation and such. I'm sure it can net pgi a bit of money.

I just want to look out of my cockpit and see the guy I'm gonna shoot down, or be shot down by. That will be a dream come true for me. I'd like to blink be playing now. Can't wait....

I have always thought a Mechwarrior/Battletech persistent universe with role playing elements would be a natural fit for a MMORPG.

What if its just when you log on you have you mech pilot standing there arms crossed leaning on a rail. You click on your mech and he goes and hops in and you go fight. Maybe there's also an office you can go to to sign up for missions and contracts.

Yea thay did "walking on stations" in EvE.

Took them ages to get it ready...

And by now most ppl that i know there only use the hangar view though as there is not much point in walking alone in a station...

[Polymorphyne]

They havn't finished "walking in stations" in Eve yet. At the moment its just a captains cabin which is just basically a preliminary beta part of it, later you will be able to walk around and interact other players, go aboard derelict space stations to do exploration type stuff, and shoot other players in the head for betraying you, and command xbox players from orbit while they fight for ground facilities... and then orbital bombard the lot of them into molten slag.
But I digress.

Personally I think the most you will see of your own mechwarrior is his hands on the joystick.
