Dear Developers,

I would like to make a suggestion or two, about MechWarrior Online.

Issue one: Friendly fire situations.

I understand that sometimes an accidental weapons discharge occurs, and so do most players. I believe that friendly fire plays an important role to the MechWarrior universe. It adds more realism to the game and makes it that more difficult. (That’s awesome and I love it!) Unfortunately some players over react and retaliate. An accidental weapons discharge has just taken an enjoyably difficult game and complicated it further, and placed everyone at a disadvantage, again making it harder on the entire team.
My suggestion for limiting situations like this is to offer a bonus to the individual that has been fired upon, and taking away currency from the player that had the accidental weapons discharge. Maybe place some kind of subscript that tracks damages for the first 20 seconds of a match? Just an idea.

Issue two: Disconnects

Disconnects also place the entire team at a disadvantage. Again, it would be great if players for the team with the disconnect could receive an in game monetary bonus, or an automatic boot for the apposing team, just to make things even or fair.

Bottom line here is MechWarrior Online is an AWESOME game! The issues I have, are shared by many players, and could most likely be addressed by the developers. Besides all the issues with ECM, and weapons nerfing, I believe a more even playing field will address further issues.

Thank you for your time.
