Does all the combat consist of jumping around and spamming rockets?

/srs
Is there any customization beyond choosing some "class" of mech?

what are the weapons available?

Is there a system of unlocking newer and better things as you play, which has proven so popular with other multiplayer games?

What kind of gameplay modes are there?

How large will arenas be?
Will sensors/radar be a significant part of gameplay?
I noticed the mechs using their jets *ahem* a bit liberally. Is this just because it's in beta, or will that be a part of the final implementation?
What's the damage model like? Are we looking at a unified hit-point pool, component damage, or something else entirely?
Do you have any plans for destructibility in the environment?
The environments are gorgeous and seem really well thought out; is there a background story to go along with this, or is it just for show, so to speak?

Indie? Doesn't look very indie to me. They might not be owned, but neither is Gearbox. Looks good though.
