So question, in addition to our built in systems, will we have "normal" weaponry too that can change from mission to mission? Like mech sized machineguns and such.

I can answer this one, hope [@Ariamis] doesn't get too mad at me for doing so.

Short answer, no. Long answer: Gear is made on a framewerk-by-framewerk basis, and these particular things aren't at a stage where it's easy to mass-produce. The weapons on the framewerk itself ARE your normal weapons, because each is supposed to function differently. Atty's blade for example is welded into it, so it's be incredibly awkward not to mention inaccurate to mount a machinegun on it. The closest thing you'd get would be a mass-produced framewerk with a 'Standard' weapon built in, as it would be the only model that could use those things.

In terms of PILOTS though, now that I am curious about myself.
