we know the game cannot be totally based on reality, and TT rules can only be followed so much, but i think that MM can use some revamping

i believe we should know what planet we are dropping on, so the map, though random, should be known before the match starts. now, so people do not take the best mech for a particular map, we should be allowed to put 2 or 3 mechs in "ready" state. once the map is known, but before the match starts, we can choose one of our "ready" mechs.

since we do not know what the enemy is bringing, i think the ELO works here in that we sometimes end up with small to large variences in total weight for each team.

i have been thinking about the idea of "total weight" allowed for a group, but this would only work for a "dropship" mode where an 8 man vs 8 man would have a weight limitation. i guess the clan idea of "bidding" would work here. we could have the weight limit be part of the MM. groups with say 400 - 550 tons would be matched with similar weight groups.

i could go on and on, but who knows if anyone at PGI cares or even reads these pages, or already have their own idea and have it in the works.
