Not going to happen, but i'll throw it out there...

How about the ability to remove the arm actuators/shoulders and just kinda welding the arms to the torso? The only thing those components are good for is allowing you to unlock the arms from the torso, and giving up that ability for weight/space would be well worth it to some.

You wish for functionality that existed in MW2?

The problem with this unfortunately that you would indirectly turn other mechs into AC20 boats/users. This list includes the following:

Spider-5K (troll build)
Cent-A
Cent-D (super fast AC20 boat, better than the YLW)
All Dragons
CTF-4X
CTF-Ilya
All Highlanders (defeats the purpose of the 733C)

The short answer is NO. The reason for this is for balance... the best you can ask for is making those actuators useful in some other method.

Well, actuators need to be useful again before we can start removing them.

And I'd be fine with such altered functions from actuators, once actuator destruction is re-introduced.

I want there an option to show middle finger with hand actuator.

This will be quite something that your stalker/ac40 can't

The thing is the MWO team can currently use those to help balance variants, so I think its best they keep it as is on a variant basis.
