With the near-term introduction of HPG Manifold, I think a 'mech' table should be added to the game. The 'mech' table would be similar to tank tables used by armies to train tank crews. Mechwarriors can run though the table in training ground mode.

I also believe it should be a community effort to design the table. We can do the following:
  • Decide what skills the table exercises
  • Layout the path through the map
  • Decide placement of static targets
  • Develop rules for the table.
  • Even create assets for the table (Paper targets, path markers, etc)
Ideally, we would have a timer, scoring, and some moving target bots, but I think we can create something useful with static assets that can be built on in the future.

What exactly are you talking about. I'm just a bit lost.

It is a marked course around the map. You move your mech down course engaging popup targets. Some targets are designated for lasers, some for AC, some for SRM, and some for LRM.
