A simple option to lock the mini map so it doesn't rotate.

I would like this option, especially for a map like Terra Therma whereby every direction you're looking at is the same scenery as every other direction. And the minimap rotation does not help me at all in orienting myself. I just get so lost so easily on that map.

Please please please. It would allow easy sub-cell references like using keypad positions to specify where in the grid someone is. F4k9 would mean the top right corner of F4. Right now it is all subjective and you need to either memorize the map or open the full map to do that.
It would also take away the couple seconds average players need to figure out what grid they are heading to.

This plus add a "polar" north icon or compass wheel to the hud. So giving directions would be little easier than having to look at the big map all the time or even the mini map

While we're on it, i'd like to make the Map scaleable.
Tiered of getting locks at 1000+ and have to use zoom or the "B" Map to figure out where the enemy mech is pointing at.

Agreed here. Also, let's orient the mini map to the tactical map too so they can actually be used in conjunction. It'd be nice to also zoom out the minimap so you can see the whole map in the minimap area. It's a problem right now to call out targets. "I see the whole enemy team in section.... somewhere off my minimap. It's north for me, but could be any direction for you. Hope that helps!"
