Are there plans to produce maps that would have other alternative physics, i.e Space combat? (Asteroid, Moon, Hull of a large Jumpship), Under Water? When would we be likely to see them?

Save that for when Ask the Devs #20 opens, Ithalunim :mellow:

is there a possibility of a random map generator? or maybe a ton limit style playing? I.E. this match is limited to 200 tons. team a picks 2 atlas. team b has 4 hunchbacks. or even a 1 on 1 instead of 8 on 8?

Q: With the idea of role warfare we have been given a selection of mechs designated to specific roles by lore and actual function (speed/armor/guns/etc). Is it the development team's vision and expectation that players would deploy these mechs in like fashion or can we feel free to take what we know (beta or non-beta) about the mechs and their implementation and redefine them (within the hardpoint limitations) to suit our own ideas of the role and fuction of a given mech? [KitK]
A: The system is pretty flexible. Lights, for example, can scout, or they can skirmish. The Dragon can scout too, or it can brawl. So yeah, we try to make them as capable of multiple roles as we can. [Garth]

Q: Will there be an in-game place for friends to stumble into instead of finding each other externally in TS? Basically a meeting place of sorts. [Kilgore]
A: The in-game friends list would work for that, I think. [Garth]



You cannot communicate, so the "stumbling" is useless. Everyone knows that "Invite to Group" is the LEAST friendly way to meet and greet. Talk, THEN meet. Hopefully a nice MIRC type channel...at some point... Zone rooms... those were the thing! We would have guild meetings in them... think about it! Keep us in your world bubble! You could see names go up and down and go "OH YEAH THAT GUY!!!" *click chat*

Head
Torso
Arms
Legs

. . . I think.

Basically, I'm assuming it's a format akin to the one that's on the Pen and Paper record sheets.

SO my COM gets a hula girl skirt and moves around the map doing the hula?

That sounds really funny. Would make it a lot funnier to watch a battle.
