My WoW toon painted on the shoulder would be pretty cool. Plus the radio is a must.

Things I could imagine in the lower left corner (maybe on some metal holder in some chassis where needed):



Nice, but prob’ly overpowered:

A (maybe very slightly zoomable) cubic outside view of your mech from an elevated behind position (fixed camera), one that would include laser beams and projectiles in realtime as they impact on you. Its purpose would be so that you could easier see from what angle a laser is fired at your back compared to radar. It could be given a holographic semi-transparent look also.


MLP franchise (licensing can be worked out, just split profits of MLP-related sales and convince them this actually helps their franchise, too). This would additionally yield you mad positive mentions and publicity in the magazines. Speaking of, NOW is the time to make sure you get media attention. Get ads into major pc magazines and arrange for previews if you haven’t. It’s more attractive to people to be part of a pioneer crowd than to join already grown structures.

Back to topic:

MLP example:
A small animated Applejack figurine looking ahead, going “Yeehaw!” when you click it (get samples of the original voice actors, this stuff matters), and occasionally bucking out when you fire something heavy.

Fluttershy could do her “Woohoo” when you score a kill, stuff like that.

Other:

A greyish-black rubber duck like the one from that old Convoi movie, preferrably slightly animated (make it clench its fists under fire), and making angry duck noises conditionally / when clicked.

A rolled-up rattlesnake. It could turn its head to the nearest enemy (if visible/on radar) and conditionally rattle.

As you can see I’m into functional things and pet-likes. For when it gets lonely in the cockpit!

[Firelizard]

A hammer labeled 'Attitude Alignment Aid'.

[Locan Ravok]

Mug of coffe.

Fun labels for buttons and displays ( like "ant farm" intead of radar or "ohh f****" in the ejection button).

Some kind of hand-held weapon, in case you had to abandon ship.

A holstered Sternsnacht =)

[Pinkydinky]

In-game adverts. Monitors with a Sony or a Samsung brand on them. Unobtrusive but it's there.

Then take the money made by said adverts and subsidise my mech purchases

[Knoxic]

-Book titled "Mech Combat for Dummies."
-Box of Tissues
-Out of Order sticker on the self destruct button
-bottle of yellowish liquid rolling around on the floor board

Some booze chips and poster of hot babe, in second thoughs real babe.

[Firelizard]

On the more serious side: A kneeboard with mech-pilot's checklists.

[RockHound]

A must for me is a bumper sticker on the outside saying "If your close enough to read this, your F%#"$D"

[GHQCommander]

Empty McDonalds packaging

Seriously though.

1. One of those silver hot drinks mugs with lid, that is very realistic.

2. A pet snake, or a spider or an elephant

3. UFO on a string

4. Mini mech figure, maybe the mech your actually in or optional of any you own?


If you want to add humor to the game with novelty items like most MMO do at some stage.


1. Bouncing ball, when we get hit hard the ball bounces around the cockpit

2. Little UFO that flys around cockpit

3. Paint tins that splatter everywhere

[Silverfang22]

Tally marks for kills, would 'update' between matches and preferably be mech-specific (so if you buy a new mech, it gets new stats)
Hula girl for sure
Custom photos.
A mini neon sign?
A gnome!! My friend has one in his car and it's great.
A light that has crazy lightning/swirly shapes, I don't know what it's called but my brother had a flourescent-light (really long cylinder) shaped plugin that made all sorts of cool shapes, it would also be a bit like a plasma globe as if you touched it, the 'lightning' came from where you put your finger
Speaking of plasma globes.. do want.
An old clock? one with an hour/minute hand
A dream catcher? Don't know if there's any native american culture in BattleTch.
Vanity license plates?
Fast food wrappers
Mechwarrior meme thread posters
Mini basketball hoop
I noticed several people mentioning stuff from firefly/serenity, dear god yes.
A mini zen-garden? random I know, lol.
A christmas stocking around winter time?
A bottle of champagne your character opens if you win a battle
For the hunchback, maybe some writing on that bit of the shoulder cannon that you can see?

what about some sort of kill counter? like this...of course with the different images of mechs or mech classes or so... somewhere in the cockpit ->

Kill marks ftw. It be nice to see this in the cockpit. I'm not sure if the kill tally should be for kills made with that particular mech or if it should be a general kill count for the pilot. I'm leaning toward the former but perhaps the pilot should be allowed to choose.

Also, it be awesome if we could get Kill marks painted on the outside of the mech to so the enemy could see them and tremble in fear.

Hulagirl.
Pictureframe for player chosen image.
Posters of in game characters/mechs
The Radio/MP3 player (great idea)
Companion cube fluffy dice!
Rick the Adventure Sphere mini!
Bobbleheads of all kinds (can we have some of the devs please?)

House Insignia and Unit Insignia.

Kurita: I figure they all have their Katanas in the cockpit.
CC: Being ruled by a mad Dictator I figure they all have a portrait of the chancellor in the cockpit.

[Chet Manley]

bobble head - yes
pinup canendar - yes
fuzzy dice - yes, but hang them off the rear view camera!

Also, an external one, do we get windshield wipers when it rains?

I have not read all 36 pages and I know some of these have been suggested but here's my list of things that spring to mind:

- A Mech kill stencil
- Different color lights for equipment
- A mech repair manual
- A Jar of jelly babies
- Hanging dog tags
- House emblems
- Mech manufacturer logos/names
- A tablet with ISN news
- A Solaris poster
- Half eaten sandwich
- Holstered Pistol
- Sweat shirt tossed in a corner
- Oily Rag
- An eject handle (whether we can use it or not)
- A mech model
- A hand held game system (thinking gameboy)
- An electric fan
- A canteen
- Two tone trim for your cockpit interior
- Bullet casings
- An autocannon shell (possibly with your name written on it)

I'm absolutely sure there's some great ideas to be thought of and this is only scratching the surface.

your pretty much posting what ever other member did on this forum. I really don't know why people keep on doing this, by repeating the exact same thing over and over again..

[SleepySnek]

My Mech's cockpit would be fairly plain...except for a Sound Surround speaker set up. So I can better play Heavy Metal while I go around stomping the opposition.

Of course, we all realise what the drawback of that is.

[General Peron]

- Miniature Mechs
- A little hanging Rubik Cube
- Popcorns we can eat
- A rearview mirror
- Pine tree airfresher
- A little Bonsai
- A history of light/medium/heavy/assault mechs that we killed with that mech
- A frame with a picture we can edit
- Bullet Shells
- An old FM radio (http://www.radiolibr...genes/Radio.gif) that reproduces our music
- A pile of C-Bills (I'm a merc that wants to see for what i'm fighting for)
- A Can of beer
- A Compass
- Hanging CDs

Hope we can buy this stuff with both real money and C-Bills
