For those who haven't seen the videos yet:

Assault Mech Developer Breakdown
Light Mech Developer Breakdown
Medium Mech Developer Breakdown
Heavy Mech Developer Breakdown
Mechlab Developer Breakdown


Two questions sprung to my mind while watching the Mechlab video (which I find pretty cool and also clears up some other questions I had). It appears the second currency in the game is "MC", but is it known yet what that stands for?

Secondly, while Paul was altering that Hunchback, its appearance did not really change. I was hoping, that at least in this particular case, the addition of having two lasers in each arm (Medium and Small) would also be visible on the outside. But only one barrel remained there. I don't quite remember what the Dev's general statement about this was. I was wondering if any such appearance changes are planned and what we saw was just because it is still a preview, or if it will stay this way in the "finished" game.

Way ahead of you brah, asked about it myself in the official thread:

Why yes it is. MC = MechWarrior Credits. Direct and too the point, and totally non-creative. I can take the blame for that one. hehe

As for your second question, we don't know. We know that the engine is capable of doing, but we also know that this game is very much a work in progress.

I was watching this, too. Slightly disappointed when a second "barrel" or "lens" didn't pop up for the small laser. I'm chalking this up to "Alpha is Alpha".

Thx. Can you provide a link? I can't seem to find it (though I think I am simply looking for the wrong thing).
