R.T. seriously asked where the accelerator pedal was for his mech when Matt brought his Laptop in for others to play with. Now THATS old.

I feel a bit sad now.  :'(
Well, I guess I wasn't  the only one, that was in a bit of a fever,  while waiting for the last weekend in October (I'm still shaking a bit - but that's a cold and not what I mean).

Any ideas, when 0.4.0. will be released (and please don't spread that "when it's ready"-thing)?

You typically don't want to set deadlines for a release, bad things happen and bugs get by when you do. BAAAAAD bugs.

The gameplay is there, but the games needs more features before its really sellable. i.e. mech lab

sellable? It will never be sellable unless Microsoft or whoever owns the rights now buys up the project plus the rights to use the Crysis engine for profit. 

I'm going to assume you meant that it is in a state to be publicly advertised/pushed for more members of the gaming community to join in.   It won the mod of the year award so obviously people loved it., get them in now is my stance.  The mechlab is not the end all answer (it may draw in some).  The game already far outplays all the other Mechwarrior games in terms of how the game plays (imo) and roles available.  T.C., being what the devs always envisioned the game to be played as,  should rewrite how we play the game in terms of combined arms and working together.

Not quite.  Better to say, closer to what we envisioned.  Its getting there.

Why does everyone want the mech lab? Do you really want to see your game break that quickly?

Plz Matthew... just no.. the mechlab thing has been beaten to death.   :-X
All said and done, not having mechlab is a bummer, even if there are EXTREMELY high risks of breaking the game with it.

 I'm all for a limited mechlab: slightly modifying existing config? No problems. Removing a couple of MGs or changing MBL for MPL wouldn't cost you a lot. Creating something new from scratch or completely remodelling existing one? It would cost you so much you'll better off with stock variant.
