More accurately I think they saw the player base drop through the floor from the wipe and horrible economy/grind combined with people peeling off for borderlands 2 so they decided to "accidentally" add people to the beta.

its always a good time. enough of us we have 3 different vent channels.
Yeah I played a few matches, saw the gain in my founders atlas and was like "no, no that's ok. I'll wait till you adjust it up."
Triple the income and it would be near perfect. I didn't expect the 1 million credit gain that was there from the start...that was way too much. But having to play over 100 matches just for an XL engine? Seriously? No way.
How are you guys joining games together? I have not yet seen a way.
hopefully the patch addresses some of the economy issues. Played on the weekend for the first time in about 4 weeks and while I did not go backwards in money, the only reason for that was the founder and VIP bonuses.
After 6ish games and some hardware changes (pull out weapons from the founder mechs I did not like, replace with heat sinks/armour), I think I was $100K up. No way I could get a custom weapon setup or a new mech with that economy system in any reasonable time frame. I would have used the credits and left the game once my VIP status expired. Not a long term reason to keep playing.
Though judging by my performance in those games, the regular players are not playing as I was averaging 2-3 kills per game, miles better than normal games (ie: one I had something like 4 kills and 3 assists)
only upside from the basic economy was no one was looking to side torso me for a cheap xl engine based kill
so looks like the PC gamer article has a pic of the Highlander. *drool*
Yup it will be the next assault mech added.
Or 67 hours of C-Bill grinding.

The Flea IS a really stupid choice to put in the game.Focused on speed and firepower, the lightly armored Flea was an extremely rare sight until the arrival of the Wolf's Dragoons mercenary unit, with the design experiencing a revival as a inexpensive recon and anti-personnel militia 'Mech.
Forget the Flea, the bigger question is why the hell did they announce the Jagermech? It serves no purpose in this game. There's no aero and the maps aren't big enough for it to be effective support fire. It will be completely shredded by Jenners.
On the other hand

i cant wait to get me some Jagermech. 4 AC2s will be fun.
I agree, trolling people with a 3 x AC2 Dragon i built was a blast. No one knows what kinda AC you are hitting them with they just freak out, especially when you chainfire them and are hitting them 3 times a second with AC blasts.

Just tried a Hunchback with 3x AC2s for fun.
The heat in this game is ridiculous. I overheated and had an ammo explosion in no time flat from firing AC fucking 2s? REALLY?
