Hi,

You added a new number representing the fall rate of the mech so people could judge how fast they were falling and mitigate damage.

I do NOT understand why this number is in feet per second.

Mech sizes are in meters.
Mech speed is in kilometers/hour.
Mech weight is in metric tons.
The Battletech universe is on the metric system.
Canada is on the metric system.

WHY is the fall rate in feet/sec? This makes absolutely no sense ... use meters/sec if you want to be consistent. If you want to cater to American clientele you should either allow client selectable units for the displays or go to the US system of measures and irritate all your Canadian, European and Battletech fans ...

What would be nice is having a fall meter instead.

Here's a crude mock up:
