Hi, I just played my first games today, and I thought I'd post my first thoughts here.

First of all, the game is really fun. I really enjoyed getting blown up (it's been a while since i played a mech game), I did manage to hit a few things and the controls feel pretty good.

However, in the games I played we won a couple and lost a couple, and the rewards seem to be really similar. I might be missing something, but the main "punishment" for getting killed seems to be getting to spectate the rest of the game rather than playing. The C-bill reward doesn't really make me care if I won or lost at all, which seems odd.

It's also a bit disappointing to have no mechlab access when using the trial mechs. One of the things I like about the Free to play model is the try before you buy aspect, and I've come away with no idea how the mechlab works. The mechlab was one of my favourite things in MW3 and 4, and I was looking forward to being able to tinker with my loadouts.

I would even have appreciated the ability to make changes that couldn't be saved, if this was made clear when i started making the changes, just to give me a feel for things.

Also, it's cool to be able to change my weapon groups on the fly, but it would be nice to be able to set them up before drop too.

Finally, thanks for what looks like a really promising game.
