Women Bikini Calender - One that works (shows the current month and correct year, the day is circled in red!)
Cup holder - With a Coka Cola can, Coffee Mug, or Coffee Cup (and liquid plops out of the spout!)
A Photo - A photo that's stuck inbetween your cockpit frame and the glass (UPLOAD YOUR OWN PHOTO - your dog, your kids, your artwork, an exotic beach)
Blacklight - Turns nobs and accessories like Fuzzy Dice into florescent dreams!
Neon Sign/Trim - Add neon trim to the interior of your cockpit, lining your console, cockpit frame, etc
Microsoft Sam Mech Narration - And other kinds of voices that we can switch too!

I really wanna mess up my cockpit and add a whole bunch of stuff. If there were things that add pieces of garbage that roll around between my cockpit glass and dash i'd buy it!

I would like a functional traditional style compass like this to sit on the dash at an angle where you could make use of its reading.

Also Id love for the ability to obtain a package for a mech cockpit that would physically attach parts of the HUD to the actual cockpit so instead of the radar window, weapon groups window etc just hovering over the cockpit graphic it is attached to physical screens on the cockpit so when you free look or shake about under fire the screens are fixed to their physical cockpit locations and move about accordingly.

Women of Solaris pinup calendar
Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission Monthly- swimsuit issue
Man-portable combat weapon of rifle size or greater-for when you need to get out of your mech and that pistol on your thigh won't do.
Fancy Engraving/ plating on interior,because you know SOMEONE would spend the c-bills to cover their cockpit in gold, and subsequently get microwaved after the first last shot.
Glowing blue coolant tubes-just to look cool.

Mercenary recruitment/Great House Propaganda poster
Doodles on the dashboard of a mech stomping on a tank

A mini "tv"

Stylized illustrations of either the currently piloted mech or the player's chosen favorite.
Or Mech versions of fearsome animals/dinosaurs ( robotic T-Rex bearing down on an atlas. >.>)

Autographed photo of <insert famous mechwarrior here>

Hud customization(placement of radar/style of reticule)
Visual cues (like lights or klaxons) on the cockpit itself for weapon reloading/heat warning. (might be redundant next to the Hud though.

Faction insignia window/wall magnets
spare parts and tools

written directions/warnings on the control panel of the cockpit
And I'll also second all the faction specific nick-knacks ( Kurita swords/kanji, other stuff)

  • Bondcord: I'd love the ability to add a bondcord to our pilot's wrist when we free-look around the cockpit. Double points if you give us the ability to custom select its color and highlighting. Alternatively, perhaps you could add a severed bondcord as a decoration somewhere to indicate previous service that has since completed.
  • Sidearm: I love this idea. As an alternative to a standard pistol-type sidearm, perhaps add the option for a hunting or survival knife.
  • Sunglasses: Aviators sitting on the side console. Giant, Goose-style ones. :D
  • Hip Flask
  • Sticky Notes: I'm thinking Deadpool-style sticky notes on the consoles - "This button goes BOOM!", "Do not pull unless SCREWED" on eject lever, "If empty: RUN!" on ammo counter, etc.
  • Photos: Allowing us to upload our own to be displayed in a frame of a set size and location would be amazing.

radio
Yes, please.
And let it play tunes?
This was, hands-down, my favorite feature of Battlefield:Vietnam.
Seriously, don't even bother trying to figure out what we all want to hear, or waste money trying to get permission to distribute a handful of songs with the game. Just give us a radio with something like 6-10 "presets" that will play MP3s we dump into the appropriate folder. You spend zero dollars on licensing, and we *all* get to hear our favorites.

Altho I know you'll probably never be able to obtain the licensing to do so at a fair price, I really want a working Flux Capacitor in my cockpit. Could also do with the speedometer and time circuit display from back to the future as well (I'm sure at the very least a nearly identical speedometer without the rest of the time circuits wouldn't breech any copyrights).

For Christmas, can we get a Urbanmech bobble head with a Santa hat on top? :) Maybe have it a December exclusive too. Then after December you can sell normal Urbanmech bobble heads.

Another +1 for the personal photo pinned to a side panel.

Various bobblehead figures that could auto-configure to show the most frequent or last chassis killed.

Various other bobblehead characters - how about the heads of various IS noble houses.

Various things I can hang above my windshield - fluffy dice, Christmas tree air freshener, dinosaur model etc.

Customisable post-it notes stuck to various places.

Essentially what I'd like is a variety of in-cockpit place holders (bobblehead next to dashboard, pin above windshield, poster on one side, sticky note or white board on other side) all of which should be user-configurable to give our mechs that personal touch, To go with this it would be nice to see some high-resolution cockpit textures...

I'd quite happily pay some MC for a mountain of personalisation options.
