I recently noticed on these tabs there is barely readable lettering and if you mouse over scrolling messages.

The fourth tab says FACTIONS, when moused over reads Information about your mercenary status.

The fifth tab says STORE, when moused over reads This is where you get the goods!

I can figure out the fifth, have not figured out how the fourth would work but it makes me wonder if we are just getting the ability to play in Merc Corps or will House Units be available.

Factions: this tab will be the whole metagame map thing with people declaring themselves as part of a house or a mercenary picking up a contract for approval.

hopefully as a merc, we get bidded on as our ratings/rank go up or down, switching sides if necessary.

factions might have bonuses or other perks such as "faction-available" of cheaper-chassis mechs.

store: maybe a "black-market" where you can get special weapons or do-dads for MC or C-bills. the whole thing they have now with the store being in the mechlab portion is a bit clunky at best.

the black market from MW4mercs was probably the best storefront I've seen in MW.

I think the store will just be a more user friendly way to browse and purchase the MC stuff.

I hope you're right. That would very much improve my faith in the game. Right now it's still the same World of Tanks that it was in closed beta.
