If players had to open their menu for a few seconds to toggle between first-person and third-person view, it would be riskier to use it for scouting.

If this option could only be changed from the lobby/mechlab window before the match starts, it would be totally unusable just for scouting. Maybe, like some graphics settings, changing it during a match would only take effect after the game restarts.

This. This right here. It doesn't hurt to lose arm lock and radar when you can press F4 to turn them back on.

Also, make the people abusing it work harder. Make it seem like the abuse is abuse, not a feature.

You could also make it so shooting the drone does minimal damage to the mech... (Like 10%)

Well, while I think it may not entirely be a bad idea to make it a menu option, it doesn't need to be like a graphics option that requires restart. Instead it could be like the arm lock option that you can still return to the game with.

Wouldn't bother me at all.

Though, I think that would defeat the purpose of the way they have implemented 3PV; they want players to be able to switch easily between the two modes to be able to see the correlation between 3PV and 1PV mech movement, but they want them to eventually play predominantly in 1PV.

I don't think they designed 3PV to be played exclusively in that mode; Not having a minimap is a pretty serious handicap.
