As of now pressing Q shows us the chassis, the name of its pilot and the overall hitpoints of this mech. It can't be less informative than that! But it can be be really helpful if extended a bit.

What I would like to see when pressing Q is the list of weapons on a mech and its SPEED.
The same goes with enemy targets, it is awkward not to have a speed indicator on the target brackets, so you would know if you can run away from this target or chase it down.

Another vital suggestion was probably pushed forward plenty of times, but nevertheless I'm going to do it again.
So, please, let us pilot the mech while looking around in a cockpit and while watching the team stats or battlegrid. Why in the name of Blake the piloting functions are blocked for that times?
In the beginning of the match I press down the throttle (fade is off) and while holding it press Tab to see the teams, but acceleration stops the same very moment until the Tab is released. I am also unable to turn the mech or do anything.. Does it make a slightest sense?

I am running away from some enemy mech, I twist the torso to side to maximum, press Ctrl to look in a side window and I can see the enemy mech there, moreover - I can shoot at him from that side's arm! BUT I CAN'T TURN MY MECH'S LEGS while holding Ctrl, and so I cannot aim properly and I cannot dodge. But I can throttle up and down though (and it is still reverse animated)! That is ridiculous.

And speaking of the team stats.. Why can't we watch the list while starting up a mech? Usually I have only a glimpse on the teams before startup sequence begins, and so I have to sit and wait without anything to do, and then watch it when the match started, but only when I'm full speed and going in some straight line. While this is a kind of information that is good to have BEFORE going anywhere. The same thing with the Grid. Why is it impossible to move your mech while in Grid mode?

I believe this stuff is not so hard to fix, but it would certainly help.
If anyone can add to this, you are welcome.
