Even though I realize I didn't explicitly ask... What I was really wanting to know were the hard point locations such as the two data-mined examples you have. Thanks.

Is it possible to have two new controls implemented ?
1) Lock Arms to Torso key. Basically your arm reticle would stay locked into your torso reticle.
2) Full reverse key. Example: If you are at 80% forward throttle, you hit the key and it automatically sets the controls to 80% reverse throttle. There is still the deceleration and acceleration of the mech as normal. Just one key command to make it happen. Right now wrestling with the controls is a real PITA. Also the full reverse would work the other way too. If 80% reverse, hit same key, then controls are set to 80% forward.
I consider these to be essential controls and would love to see them.

I have a buddy who is playing, he likes the Centurion, figured it would be nice to give him a YLW but there isn't a way to do this currently. It would also provide a way for the Houses and Merc groups to reward exceptional warriors.

Reverse throttle is already in there. Look at the bottom of your button remapping list. As a warning it seems to only work with joysticks.

Could you detail the solutions that you've come up with for disrupting the long range targeting of Gauss and LRM boats?
Any plans on implementing the Gauss Rifle's minimum range?
PGI vs Goons slosh drops? Any takers?

Can you give us any information on upcoming maps or game modes? Will we ever see match types with some more sensible / military objectives? Something like a Battletech Table Top scenario with reinforcement rounds and differing objectives or multiple objectives?

If you can make the Toastermech (er, Flea, sorry) look good, I imagine you could make the Marauder look like something that Harmony Gold doesn't own the rights to. Can you give us hope (or at least make us stop hoping)?

2- Would you consider to change the skin of the Yen-Lo-Wang? Would you consider adding 2 energy hardpoints in the left arm of the Yen-Lo-Wang so we can customize it to the upgraded version?
3- I know you are still balancing stuff, but we want numbers! Damage, heat, range of each weapon. How do you suppose a guy who doesn't know Battletech to figure out what weapons to put in his mech?
4- Could you implement an "auto target" function to the game? I see a lot of newbies who doesn't know they have to press "R" to lock targets for LRMs and SSRMs.
5- Command Console: how it will work? I suppose we can only mount it in the head - or no?
6- Could you lock the purchase and mounting of ammo for a weapon the mech doesn't have? (that would simplify things a lot)
7- Where are the more "alien" maps? Are there plans to add maps with very low gravity?
8- Will you be able to implement mechs running more than 200 km/h?
9- The Dragon DRG-1G is a variant of the Dragon, not a different mech. Why it isn't in the game yet?
10- What are your plans about the C3 Computer/Slave? Will you add them? How they will work?
11- Could you consider to make matches with only Trial mechs?

I want a full throttle key too.
(and a key for unjamming ultra autocannons)
EDIT: by adding 2 energy hardpoints in left arm of the Yen-Lo-Wang you could even bring back the CNT-AH.
