Well, I'm not exactly sure if this thread belongs here or somewhere else, so please don't flame me about that. What I want to know is this: if the devs asked you what would be important in a future expansion pack/add-on, what would you ask them to include? Please stay true to the MW/BT universe... no laser swords or karate-style fighting, etc. Would you want a Solaris VII arena? The ability to play as a Clanner? Non-player vehicles and aircraft (to include Battle Armor)? A different timeframe (i.e. starting at 3025 or 3125)? Melee combat? Or perhaps you've got some other idea. Whatever it is, please list it here.

Personally, I'd like to see all of the above come into play at one point or another. And just to clarify, I am NOT saying/implying that these expansions/add-ons WON'T make it into the game, but neither am I promising that they WILL.

Note: please do NOT include individual mech types/customizations. I ask this for two reasons: A) there's probably a thread for that in these forums, and there's no way to say which mechs will/won't be included that aren't already in the game.

I'd like to see the game ship, and explore the content that is in it, before even considering an expansion.

[MythicKhan]

I'd like to see more factions opened up, partly because I'd like to play in the ComGuards (unlikely I know).

More likely I suppose is more mechs, maybe a sort of PvE system (there are some threads about that), and non-mech vehicles on the battlefield.

However, my answer, as Mal says, will probably change once we actually get our hands on the game

Base destroying Game Mod replacing Capturing points. About 8 buildings (HQ including repair center and ammo storage) for each team. Team that destroy all enemy buildings win, or if game is tie after full round team that done more damage to opponent buildings win.

More mechs, maps, melee combat, Solaris VII, more advanced "meta game" with larger player influence on factions, vehicles and aerospace fighters and so on.

Basically everything in the BT universe.

Well, I'd like to see other elements added to the game later:

Melee Combat: I love the Hatchetman, its my favorite 'mech as I love blasting away at something as I close range then start lopping limbs off.
Solaris Arenas: It'd be a great place to...... lop limbs off at.
Armor (Tanks): I'd really like to see tanks in the game, especially the Demolisher....twin AC/20's Muahahahaha!
PvE (Story) Mode: Yes, typically they're short. But I do enjoy solo gameplay sometimes and enjoy a good story.
More 'mechs: Ok, who knows how many we're really getting at launch, but I'd like to see designs from all the old Technical Manuals (2750,3025,3050,3055, etc.)

Overall.. I want things to blow up.... and lots of thing to blow them up with!

I honestly hope that the clans Aren't a part of the starting game. The Clan invasion is just too good of a possible expansion to give up.

I do think that the ability to purchace infantry, Armour and Air units woulld also make for a grand expansion, and add to the depth of any mercenary based (or otherwise) game based on mechwarrior

finally I hope Periphery Realms are eventually added to the game

Just to give ppl an Idea of where I am coming form I have been playing MMOs since Everquest was relaeased, and am currently looking to replace EVE Online with something - well - more down to earth. For this reason, and the fact that I don't have particular lag problems on eve unless there is a 1000+ person battle- I am hoping the stick to a centeral sever with peripherals maybe in countries as needed. I understand restricting to 12 vs 12 or maybe 16 vs 16. However The results of each battle need to be processed and perpetuated on the central server or I'll fell I'm wasting my time I Imagine. that is worldwide results need to have worldwide effects, not different server having different status for each of the empires, or I feel that the game will ultimately offer no more to ppl like me than Warhammer online did (6 months, last month only because my guild REALLY needed me.

I hope this is not too longwinded

I would have to agree with Mal. My wish list will be altered based on actual game play and how relevant my ideas would actually be put into practice.

example:
I would like to be able to customize a banner/logo for my merc group. Have it appear on the mechs, bannermen, guild hall.
1.Do we get a guild hall?
2.Would we need a logo to be on a banner just to have it big enough to see? After all they would be hard to see, other than the main houses, on a mech and as soon as you start taking damage your logo is covered by damage graphics.
They talked about "game emersion" but until I play I have no clue what gameplay consists of outside of combat. Would is be worth adding to the game? Plus the kind of robust logo customization I would want would have to be better than the guild cloaks from darkage of camelot.

edit:
Also a VR room or shooting range... So I can tryout weapon configs without having to buy them first.
