Will the founders package for that game also have a toggle rather than starting automatically upon launch?

OP here. Thanks for being an *******. The mech designs are very bad hinting at a knockoff. Also, in many of the screenshots, the weapons were not regular Mechwarrior weapon names, such as "plasma cannon" not PPC or "small missiles" etc.
Often copyright infringements go on for months or years before the legal issues are resolved and the one at fault is taken down. It's ENTIRELY possible that that was the case here. So thanks for calling me "dumb as a bag of rocks."
If the page you linked to didn't have an IGP tag right on it, you might have some defense here. No need to be cruel to you but you may want to brush up on your detective skills all the same.

I think what he meant, in more diplomatic language, was that you should really read up on a company before accusing it of plagiarism.

This is actually true. Also some of the mechs are being redesigned IIRC, I can't say more because ya know NDA.

Can't fault that guys assessment
Plasma's are an entirely different (canon) weapon system to PPC's. So yeh, lol at your statement there.
It would have been ENTIRELY obvious there was no copyright infringement if you bothered looking at who made the game.

I rather play MWO, just because I have total control over what my mechs have. Plus i just want to control one single mech at a time.

As I understand it, all boosters can be purchased with game money earned by playing matches

True, but that will not stop your from getting the same items over and over again. Nothing worse than opening 2 - 3 booster packs and getting the same crappy card 7 times. Sure you can always get a really good draw, but the risk remains of getting a bunch of useless duplicates.

seriously, that's all I want out of it, instead there's all these weird bonus things and cards and weird crap that we don't need.

You may want to hang off a bit - I bought the $120 pack for that too - it's so buggy I stopped playing. It's been a month or so since I last logged on, though, been busy with MWO, so they may have patched it some, but there's still heaps to do yet.
It should be fun though when it's really ready to roll. I don't get to play Battletech or any TT much at all now so this is quite cool.

Though I agree with you on the mech designs... classic battletech and good mech designs should rarely be put together in the same sentence (aside from the unseen). Every once in a while I am forced to look at BT original art work and my nostalgic recollection of a loot of really cool looking mechs is shattered.

Considering that you can field several 4 mech lances concurrently, it makes sense to get a lot of gear to outfit all of them.
The Magic:The Gathering style card game part of MW:T isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

I'm not closing it for any reason OTHER THAN the fact that the OP is (honestly mistakenly) calling-out Tactics as a copyright infringement due to simply not being familiar with the game.
If you wish to discuss MW: Tactics, then the Off Topic section of the forums would be the best place for that. There are other Tactics Discussions in the Off Topic section, or you could create a new one. However, this one is going to be closed as the title and OP draws "unintended" attention to the thread.
