I think it would be a good idea to show friendly loadouts in some way. In pugs it's good to know friends loadouts so you can think about how to support or how they'll react.

Yes.

As nice as that is, more useful would be if every player could set a "Role" for their mech and an icon would show up whenever you have a friendly "target" indicator (try the Q key and you'll see what I mean), thus quickly showing you what kind of role that mech is supposed to be.

Such as... Brawler, Fire Support, Sniper, Scout, Striker, etc...


Edit: That way you don't even need to read and interpret the loadout to guess at what they can do. It's apparent what the intended role is.

Just like other MechWarrior games, there should be a separate targeting key to cycle through targeting your allies. Same interface, same HUD display, different color.
