Work In Progress.

This thread is meant to be a one-stop catalog of features from the community that I would like to see but have not seen a confirmed ETA or been denied by the Developers and are not critical to the balance of the game.

These are mechanics and content that are low-to-mid priority, and do not involve things that make major changes, like Weapon Balance, Heat Penalties, or Hardpoint Restrictions.

As suggestions get implemented, denied or out-dated, they will be removed.

Simple rules:

Suggestions featured here:

• WILL NOT have a major impact on the game itself.
  
• WILL NOT seek to change the design or balance of existing mechs and weapons.
  
• WILL follow the spirit of Battletech and Mechwarrior, even if it does not necessarily follow canon.

Mechs:

Period Appropriate: There are 3 existing variants of that mech available right now in the MWO timeline. Except for the concept art, programming, and modelling, this is a mech that could be introduced into MWO at any time.

Annihilator

Near Future: Up to 5 years out in the Timeline, these mechs might not have 3 existing variants according to lore, but they would be considered in their Experimental and Prototype stages in reality, which means that they could be part of MWO.

Devastator

Maps

Battlefield Combat: These are typically large maps that would be considered openly contested fighting ground for Factions.

Arena Combat: These are smaller maps designed around the concept of arena or lance-to-lance fighting, much like the maps found on Solaris VII.

Mechanics

Game Mechanics: These are mechanics that would augment gameplay itself, possibly making it more immersive or diverse.

General Mechanics: These are mechanics that augment or change the way the out-of-game experience works. These affect Community Warfare, Units & Factions, Mechlab, Pilot Lab, etc.

I want these Things:

1.: An option to sort all my many Mechs in my Mech Bays
2. Bitching Betty to say "Shut-down initiated", so i can push the button.
3.: A distance counter to the targets on the compass

I would like to have these Things:

4. A window that you have to answer after Mechs configuration, that asks "What range is your Mech supposed to fight?" like short, middle, long and that shown in the TAB-thing. Would help for PUGs.
5. A better VOIP sollution, where you automaticly connected to your team.

Thanks for Reading.
