Hi Devs

First,I'd like to praise you for introducing lances in patch 1.2.214.That is a really nice idea!I wish we players will se more such good features.

But,I see it could be made even better.

Please consider to remove 4 mech per lance restriction - during 8 vs 8 fights,my clan often forms recon lance with 2,sometimes 3 light mechs and strike lance with heavier ones.It'd be most convienient if our commander could assign all strike mechs into one lance.
Removing such restriction should not be hard.

regards,
MasterBLB

Agreed, give us 30 seconds before the match starts to sort out lances ourselves. If nothing is done then auto it!

Also a nice touch would be in the top left where we have our lancemates names and locations, the designation of their mech AS7-D, STK-3F etc

Well,there actually are their names and positions,but without mechs.Ah,and I think it'd useful if there will be info about myself,I find it hard especially now when grid size has been adjusted to determine in which square I am.

In BattleTech/MechWarrior, a lance is four 'Mechs. Period. Full stop. End of line.

You can do other-size groupings, but a lance is a lance.

FYI:

Lances are often made up of 'Mechs of varying weights. A Recon lance isn't all lights, for example. There may be a fast medium or two in there.

Besides, in an eight-man (or soon, 12-man) the lance assignments aren't important. You're all on voice anyway.
