Started playing again for a bit last night, since X-Com glitched out on me again on the last mission.

After reviewing the controls to make sure I understood how to avoid my earlier issues of overheating, I played 5 matches. Was constantly at the bottom for points, but towards the end I wasn't totally sucking and actually got a couple assists.

Few questions that didn't seem to be answered by the couple videos I watched.

It looks like it cost s c-bills to buy mechs, about $20-$30 worth. Is that the only way to earn c-bills?

If you do buy a mech with real $, do you always have access to it, or is there a way it can be permanently destroyed? Are there repair costs?

I earn some type of point every match, but I cannot figure out what they are (would a mouse over tooltip be out of the question?). Can I use those for something?

How about experience? I remember them saying something about not earning experience with trial mechs. Does that mean you do earn it with mechs you purchase? How does that make sense? Must be some reasoning that I just don't see.

What is the deal with LRM targeting? How do I know if I am hitting and how can I improve my chances to hit? How do I avoid getting hit by them? More than one match started with me getting pelted so badly I was critically damaged before I ever saw another mech.
