It would be really neat to have some kind of ability/equipment where you have a squad of Battle Armor riding on your hull, and they hop off and annoy the crap out of your enemy. They wouldn't really be "pets" in that you have to control them. Just point and "shoot" (order them to attack) at close range. Then they hop off and swarm, shooting with small lasers/SRMs. Once the enemy is destroyed, any surviving members hop back onto your mech.

Now, this could either be equipment, taking up tonnage/slots, or it could be a commander ability, having them hot drop into an area. They would basically patrol a square on the map and harass any enemies that walk in there.

That sounds like something they should implement after the clan invasion and if they allow battle armor to be used by players. So neat idea I support it.

Actually, they would be pets, combat pets. i have been asking for this too. We will have to see if they do it. No way that player should play just the battle armor point.
