You need Cheech's chain steering wheel, too.

Bobblehead/hula girl (bobble heads based on devs? artists/writers?- thinking Stackepole's would have a 'spoding mech in the background or base)
Fuzzy dice(w/ "shotgun" styled pips)

Sash/spurs/katana or other house appropriate item
sliver of destoyed mech(available only after losing a mech)

[Chronojam]

Nothing but "squawk" in a scratched appearance all over the metal surfaces and even the front canopy itself

[Saracens]

I think the photo idea is a good one. Stickers for parodies/homages to bands would be pretty cool. Plastic dinosaurs was also a great idea. Lucky rabbits foot or something would be cool.

10 things you can find in my mech cockpit.

1.) Empty beer can
2.) Blood
3.) fegments of glass from broken windows
4.) bullet shell
5.) oxygen support
6.) old speeding and parking tickets
7.) money
8.) tons of redicoulasly complicated controlls on a huge dash board
9.) fuzzy dice
10.) radio

[SparkSovereign]

Perhaps model aircraft (of the Battletech variety, of course) as an possible alternate to fuzzy dice?

Mech action figures strewn about would be pretty funny too.

Life Time Damage Done: 129 billion
Life Time Kills: 183

Just some thing simple and small thats movable around the hud. Like its a holographic.....snowglobe of sorts. Change it to meters, or photos or another display.

Some kind of "search" functionality in the upper right area so that duplicate suggestions are not given time and time again

[Blackfire1]

I am typing this out without reading anyone elses ideas. If there are repeats well.. *shrug*

-Visual cockpit upgrades
-Integrated monitoring system that lets you see up to 100 degrees around you.
-Color Schemes / Colorblind mode
-Dinosaurs
-MP3 player
-Ingame-radio
-Built in Ale Dispenser (standard in all FRR units)
-Melted ice packs that slosh around when you get hit. (it was a good idea at the time.)
-Random Mirror to be able to see the pilot. (would require an avatar system)
-manual ejection buttons you have to use in order to eject.
-3d "hologram" images of different items. From Mugs of Ale, to evil eyed bunnies.
-Ability to complete **** pit sets. Example: "Funky set: Dize, fuzzy purple trim, disco radio, Affro Avatar hair.)
- Random artifacts that you collect from fighting X number of an opposing force and win. Kill and with 50 davion matches you get keepsakes for your **** pit.
-Ability to hand two ball & Chains between the atlas's legs.
-Maybe a retro information set. Make the cockpit of your Jenner look like that of a WWII fighter plane.
-Random plants such as canctus and bonzai. (Only ones that can take the heat) These burst into flames at first sign of overheating.
-Miniature Bobble mechs. I want to see a bobble hunchback in my hunchback.
-Glow/trim. Ability to make areas of my cockpit glow neon like most pimped out rides/computers.
-Break in case of emergency Ice cube tray.
-Gun rack with "shot guns" & Rifles"
-Random Taxidermy.
-Note pads with random days for every day of the week. Example: Pick up daughter from Dance, grab milks, ammo, heatsinks.
-A flag of a jenner being stepped on by an atlas with the words "Don't tread on me."
-A pedestrian crossing sign with an Atlas holding a madcats hand.
-Any and all known ideas for varius t-shirts that will be on say later in the year. (Shhhh I won't tell)... oops.
-Ability to import your Units logo into the cockpit.
-In-game vial thermometer that explodes upon first shut down.
-The little paper clip guy from Microsoft Office -"You are currently trying to shut down to keep from exploding, would you like help with that?"
-Windshield Wipers that turn on during rain, snow, or mud showers. They melt and burnt after a direct laser hit.
-Ability to see in 3rd person... IN the cockpit. (no seeing outside)
-A Sign that says NDA: First rule of NDA, Don't talk about NDA.
-Rotating cockpit fan. It stops working after 2nd overheat.
-Radar screen that goes into screensaver mode when mech is shut down.
-In cockpit personal betting machine so unit members can make bets between each other during various maps.
-Hydroics that bounce and lower a mech in an EMOTE >.>
-Mechs that do the Robot as an Emote.
-Ability to change what the pilot wears of what we as the player can see when we look around.
Panties, boxers with hearts on them, Boy sorts, Coolant suit, Fuzzy slippers ect.
-Random food stuff sitting on dash. Donuts, cake, half eaten sandwhich.
-2d6 dice.
-A smiley face that does like the origonal doom guy avatar. Starts out smiley but changes as you take damage.
-General combat damage. Bullet holes, hanging wire, random sparks. They are vehicles of war that have been handed down generation by generation.

scuba gear

[Gouty]

Emergency/Aviation style oxygen system

Remember to apply your own mask before assisting others


Small fishtank?


Remove before flight tags


or just keychains on the key in the ignition (mechs can have ignitions right?)

[Skadi]

Still opting for our Founders Badge pinned to the dashboard

[Chronojam]

"Country of origin code" stickers similar to what are seen sported on today's vehicles, except suitable for Battletech regions e.g. DC for Draconis Combine.

[Gozer]

Damn everything I wanted has been said already.

From the Pin-ups and Bobblehead Urbies, to the other assorted doo-dads I like them all. Any levers that we could put shift nobs on?

[Isingdeath]

Dog tags that change when certain milestones are reached (rank etc.)

[Wolfman0503]

How about stencil cut outs of Mechs you've killed.

The more suggestions given the more popular it is. were looking for repetition. Reread the OP.

[Knight2pwn]

All the best ones have been posted. The fact that you are considering making the cockpit look more 'lived in' is awesomesauce. Read all these great suggestions. Top being

hula girl
ashtray

pistol

[Argama]

how about a pair of dog tags that on one of them has your name on or your clan name and the other could have your faction logo or your clan logo.
