To promote buying more mechs and to introduce a bit of realism and cannon; who are repairing our mechs? Shouldn't it be comstar repairing and maintaining our mechs? After each battle, depending on the damage you took, your mech should be out of commission for repairs by our comstar techs after each battle. For a cored engine, 5 minutes for repairs would be the maximum, you could wait for your mech to be ready or take another mech, a trial mech if you don't have another.
And here is where you can make money. For a little MC, you can miraculously make your mech ready to go! this will put more strategy in the game and people won't just charge out and get their mech destroyed. This will put a damper on the afk farmers since they can't just take a mech out because it will be locked. There needs to be a reward for being cautious in battle, than just worthless c-bills. this should also promote purchasing more mechs, mechbay, and spending mc to ready up your torn up mech.

Repair and rearm had some serious issues before, I just don't think its going to come back unless they make a separate hardcore mode or something.

AFK farmers have their mech locked even now, until the match is over. Being cautious in battle is very close to being a coward. In many cases if everybody is very cautious, we got beaten to pieces. Rage always takes the enemy by surprise, even if 1v6 (I've been in those fights). The bad is when I am raging like that, everybody else is often "cautious", in order words hiding, when we could have claimed the victory instead.
