Long has it remained dormant ... A question as old as time. Now back from the grave!

Missiles, are they only able to be blown up with AMS, or will other weapons work as well?

[Outlaw2]

Do any members of the dev team have experience with NR/FFP competitive matches/leagues in past MW games?
Will you actively recruit organized groups of players from other/past games for portions of the closed beta?

[Monky]

Will side torso destruction down a mech with an XL engine?

[Cifu]

Q1.: Can we seen a mech falling, like in the Mechwarrior 3? If a Mech lost one leg, then what will happen? (Answered in the Tweetchat)

Q2.: When the PGI made a clear statement about the Unseen / Reseen designs? As we seen, it's a common question in the forum...

Q3.: How the rare equipments purchase limited? Paul noted some weapons can be obtained harder than others - what this means? We can only get ER PPC in 3049 for MC, or need an achievement, or so?

Q4.: After a contracted battle, if your mech blow up, what happened? We lost that Mech? Or only need to be repaired for a big prize?

Q5.: In the Mechwarrior 3015 trailer we seen the ejection sequence. We can eject / blow up our own mech in the MWO?

Q6.: What is the size limit of the Grouping? A Lance (4 player) or more (even 2 or 3 Lance, 8 or 12 player)?

Q7.: When the game released, the players got what their achieve in the beta, or the release means a reset button, and everyone (beta testers and "regular" players) starts equal rights, from scratch?

Q1: What are the current minimum specs to run the game?

Q2: Is the game optimized for multithreaded CPUs (4+ threads, with CryENGINE 3 being capable of up to 8)

Q3: Will AMD Eyefinity / Nvidia surround setups work with MWO?

Q4: If you are cored quickly, will there be a plasma burst or will your mech go down quietly?

Q5: Will ranges be set at TT for the perceived length of the game or are ranges still being discussed?

Q6: Will there be an upper limit to the size of an engine other than it's weight / crits in a mech?

Q7: Will there be variable gravity on different maps?

Q8: Will there be variable weather on maps? (given CryENGINE 3 naively supporting such)

Q9: Will DirectX 11 be supported?

Q10: Will inertia be taken into effect when ramming or executing death-from-above or will damage be a set value?

Q11: Will ammo explosions damage via TT values or be dependent on ammo type / set value / ton?

Q12: Will we be able to set fire to forests or kick up dust to use as a distraction or the like?

Q13: Will there be special Friday the 13th events?

Q14: Will the Cicada and other newer revealed mechs be available at launch?

Q15: How many Atlas' does it take to change a lightbulb?

[Nighthound]

There are a few threads about it and those "discussions" are a bit on the heated side of things, so to quell them a bit :

How close to the TT values do you intend to stay with Armor, Weapon Damage and Weapon recycle times (10s for all? Solaris rules? something different?)?

[Arcterran]

Hypothetical Situation: Suppose Pihranna decides alltogether to ignore the canon completely and decides to have a fifth succession war that initally pits the Capellans and the Lyrans against each other (but would later spiral out to include everyone).

Would House Liao hand out more lucrative contracts to merc corps against the lyrians and vice versa?

[Theal Swena]

Here is my question:
Q: How will two friends be able to stay in touch with each other out of game so that they can play together? You're not doing co-op on launch, so the best thing next to that is play multiplayer with a friend. Will you have a friend system? Thank you for your time!

[neodym]

Will there be friendly fire? will there be way to play on servers without FF?


Will there be ammo refit/repair stations? if yes,in all game modes? will they be in area where enemy mechs can fire?

[Stormwolf]

1. Will we get factions in addition to the ones already ingame (Clans, Periphery, Comstar/WoB, etc)?

2. Will we get mech selection based on the various RAT's once we have a sufficient number of mechs for each faction around?

3. Some players voiced concerns about the locations of you servers (afraid that they will only be in North America), will there be servers in other countries?

4. Will the game also know some RPG elements in addition to mechwarfare?

[whiskey tango foxtrot]

What's the weight of the moon in Kilos ???

[RogueSpear]

A quick question and a few big ones:

Quick question: Have there been any decisions made on bringing in 'mechs like the Bushwacker, Thanatos, etc into the game earlier than the 5-20 years we'd need to wait at a pure 1-1 timescale? If so, what's the decision?

Big questions: The metagame. While I'm very excited about the actual fighting, there's been very little information on the metagame released for a long time. What bonuses to do Mercenary Corporations get for controlling tertiary planets? Are these planet specific, or can the corp spend it's money to upgrade the planet? Do MercCorps have a shared bank account? What bonuses do players get for playing for a specific faction? It's mentioned that some equipment will be hard to acquire - does this mean more expensive or will players need to actually achieve certain goals to gain access to them? Cash economy - how is real world money being implemented? Any news on what we can buy, specifically, yet?

I have many, many more questions, but to wrap up, any information about the metagame that you can feed me tell us would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Easy and straight to the point...

If there is a planet that happens to be a border planet that 3 factions touch or can expand to... Will there ever be games where say as an example... Kurita, FRR and Davion can ALL fight for the planet at the same time? Meaning can there be more than just 2 factions fighting in a match. I for one would love the notion of dropping down to a planet to find that our intell was off and there are already 2 other factions there fighting and we (the 3rd faction) just made the stakes higher for all involved.

[Adridos]

How are you handling factions? Are we going to have different bonuses, mechlab, etc. or are the mech prices only reason not to jump with the first house, people not connected to the lore, see? Also, are there going to be any groups inside actual houses?

Thank you for answers.

[Kaemon]

How much development time is spent on mech combat vs. metagame at this time?

Will modules allow you to semi-customize (not just add/remove) info screens in the cockpit?

What are the milestones that need to be hit before BETA? (a checklist would be nice )

What do you think of the LRM discussions on the board? Do they help or hinder BETA 'launching'?

When is BETA (obligatory question)?

Is Matt Newman still alive (or did you forget that you locked him in the supply closet last month)?

[Jonas]

1. You gave us a list of weapons and equipment. You also said not all of these would be stock what did you mean by this? Does it mean that some will be better than others, or is it simply mean they wont come installed so you have to buy them and install them?

2. How man Chassis do you have planned for launch?

3. Will there be Chassis you have to buy at launch?

4. What modules will be in at launch, how will they be bought ?

5. How many game modes are planned for launch and what types of matches, are 4 on 4 planned or is it all 12 on 12
