Just an idle curiosity ...

Are there any players who would be interested in a random map and stock mech pick-up PUG assault mode? Basic idea:

- player selects "random" as the game mode
- the game randomly creates two 12 person PUG teams
- each player is assigned a random stock variant by the game
- the game randomly selects a map
- players face off
- players gain xp directly towards that mech variant
- no modules are available in this mode

The general concept is that players have no idea who they will face, who their team mates will be or what they will be piloting, just as if they were dispossessed house mechwarriors. By limiting advanced modules and player pre-determined builds, each player must solely rely upon their skill at the game and ability to communicate with other players instead of a borked hotbox or metagame power build.

Interesting, but I think most of the community would want to pick their mechs. This could always be a sub option for the truly hardcore players.
