Will our Forum name be the same as our in-game name or will we be able to choose an alternate name in-game that is different from our Forum name?

1: Will there be a salvage system available for collecting damaged pieces of mechs after each map? How will it work?

2: How much will the prices for weapons and mechs vary? What will affect the prices?

Can we have a dev breakdown on modules? As well as some more information on the support mech role?

[The Whisper]

Traditional question I ask the dev's of every game I get involved in...

Do you prefer ketchup, mayonnaise or "something else" with your chips (Fries)?

Beta is coming quite soon, but team players still have almost no information on two important areas. My questions are related to them:

Faction system:

• Please give us some coverage on FS mechanics. How it will work (in general)?
  
• Will it be available in Closed Beta?
  
• Which awards Faction System can offer to solo players and which will be available only to Merc Corps?
  
• What about ranking system in military forces of Great Houses for players?
  
• Will membership in famous canonical units be available as reward for high Faction standing? Which units/regiments will be available to join if so?

Merc Corps system:

• Will MC be available to players from start of Closed Beta?
  
• Will MC have any kind of progression system? Will there be some achievements/rewards for most competitive/effective players' Corporations?
  
• Will MC have players number limit? Will it be limited by Company, Battalion or Regiment size?
  
• Will it be possible to create Companies (12 'Mechs/pilots) with special emblem (in addition to the emblem of corporation) and name within one Mercenary Corporation?
  
• Will MC have access to some kind of training grounds? i.e. to run ranking matches between members, teach recruits to basics of teamwork and so on.
  
• Will we have something similar to 0.0 in EVE (territory opened for players to conquer with almost no control from devs)? Does Periphery await us ?
  
• Will it be possible to declare alliances and wars between Merc Corps (i.e. somewhere in Periphery)?
  
• Which resources MC will be fighting for?

Will St Ives and other minor states besides the FRR be put in?

[Kosai]

Just one that came up after thinking about the good old days:

What kind of weapond physics effects we can expect in-game? For example, on MechWarrior 3 high caliber weapons and LRMs were capable of toppling a mech down by unbalancing it with repeated hits, that would really rock to see on this game.

[Telpher]

Hello my q. to U.

I have two questions and apolagize if they have already been asked.

First will mech engines be able to go critical and explode doing large area splash damage? Example: If I am piloting a huchback and get up into this catapults grill (so close that I can give the other pilot the bird before pulling my triggers) and blow a hole through its center, will the catapult then explode doing considerable damage to my hunchie because I got to close?

Second: how much control of the jump jets will we have? Is it going to be like the jump jets from recent games that just shoot you up into the air and slow falls? Or is it going to the thrust vectoring so we can use them to shift to the side or rotate while we are flying/falling through the air?

Can you tell us about the current state of develpoment of in game music?

[Dragon Lady]

In the Table-Top game, overheating your 'Mech creates a number of problems: difficulty targeting, movement penalties, possibility of shutdown, and internal ammo explosions. To date, most of the Mechwarrior computer games only bother with replicating the threat of shutdown. Will Mechwarrior: Online model the other effects on an overheating 'Mech?

[Stefano McCarron]

Hey!
Hope my english is good enough to understand my question...

My question is:

Centurion and Hunchback, two of the mechs you released so far have both 50 tons of weight and with (4-6-0) the same movement capacities, wich means same type of reactor. On your videos you say that you can add and remove every weapon and armor so as jumpjets, ammo and heatsinks... (reactors not i think..., say if i am wrong)
So if you have them "nude" they are the same (ok i know centurion lacks some arm actuators, but as long as hands are useless...and yeah, the "look" is different too...)
What i mean is you can easily make a Hunchback out of a Centurion and vice versa...
So where is the sense of releasing this two mechs?
Wouldn´t it be logical to release a different type of medium mech or a different 50 ton mech like a Trebuchet?
The variety of game would increase more than in the release of two "nude twins"...

[MetalJunky]

During actual gameplay....will FOG of war be standard like you will never know what mechs you are up against until you actually see them in the field? I think it will add more to the thrill and surprise factor?


Will the physics be as realistic such that mechs can actually fall in cliffs, bridges,,, and the like? can mechs damage themselves ramming each other? Will terrain render realistic effects to mech movement...speed...maneuverability?

Controllers... will the controls be limited to keyboard and mouse joystick, gamepads? can we use pedals (simracing pedals) as external controller for movement.. to move forward, backward and stop. Could be more immersive for guys with sim background.

I hope we can run the game in triple monitors as well.(as an option of course)

[WhiteTigerWolf]

What I would like to know is there even a "REMOTE POSSIBILITY" that we will be able to make our own mechs from the ground up,meaning any type of mech such as light mediums,heavies, and assaults, can we have the ability to create them how we would like them such as legs,body,arms heads that sort of thing???? Would like to see the possibility of being able to do that in this game and to see what type of variants people will come up with and also the chance for some of us to create something unique to our style of play or something like that.....
