My apologies in advance if any of these have been presented previously.

1) Random Mech Selection: It would be nice to queue up as a random mech from your garage.

2) Team-Kill C-Bill Penalty Goes to the Victim: Not sure if this might present more problems than it's worth, but it would be nice if the player that gets killed by a friendly gets the extra C-Bills that the TK'er pays as penalty. Kind of a "My bad, I'll pay for your repairs" kind of thing.

3) Ejection: It would be nice to have an ejection option for two reasons. It adds a slight immersion factor, but more importantly I think it would give us a nice Spectator mode to watch the rest of the match unfold. If you're quick enough to eject before your engine explodes, you could watch the remaining battle from bird's-eye-view perspective as your slowly parachute back down to earth. You could quick-escape out of this view if you prefer to watch another friendly from first-person, etc. If you hit the ground, it would be kind of cool to run around the terrain as a squishable sprite... but I'm just throwing suggestions around here. I wouldn't expect any significant effort being put into that. =D

4) Mech Cameras: Not to reignite the whole 3rd Person Perspective debate (I'm glad it didn't get implemented), but at the same time I wonder why Mechs don't have rear-view mirrors. It would be nice to have a rear-mounted or shoulder-mounted camera (depending on Chasis?) or something of the like with limited visibility. Nothing that would help for aiming/firing or peeking over or around corners, but something you could use to check your 6 every now and then when the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Again, not huge on this because I believe that any perspective outside of the cockpit would give you an edge. All that said... I still don't see why mech pilots don't use mirrors. =/?

5) Mech Nuts: Okay I don't really want these, but I'd probably still buy a pair... *sigh* You gotta admit, though, it would be funny to see a pair hanging off a Commando or Atlas. You know it would. Okay... maybe for the first few minutes and then not so much after that... Forget I said anything.
