This cockpit idea sounds like a good moneymaker for PGI!

-Custom upload pic in a Frame
-Urbie bobblehead.
-Link a radio in the cockpit to a few internet radio stations!
-Random notes from repair Techs.

If it gets to the point where you have fire in your cockpit, staying put and spraying liquid CO2 or foam over your controls is the least of your worries and is pretty counter intuitive, since it's also likely to wreck the console it's sprayed on.

It's like putting a bucket on a submarine to scoop the water from a hull breach up.

Most other people here also don't seem to get the idea or just suggest the same **** everyone else has, or just things that make me slam my head against the desk...

Can we get this topic locked please? Nothing more useful is going to be added here.

It's a survey,.. You do realize that a lot of people say the same thing in one of those?

survey SAYS... fire extinguisher =]

PS if the quoted fellow wants to think outside the box a bit.. or cockpit rather, items in side the cockpit need not be limited to use in said cockpit. Multiple mentions in the books of folks jumping out of their mech and clambering over to some stuck AC loader or whatnot, putting out fire from an inferno round or something post battle seems reasonable to me.
