Was just thinking. The game is going to be around a while. And PGI is going to need more ideas raise money to keep it going. So why not have a wish list of what you would like to be able to buy in the game. This could be either a new version of something we have. For example a new type of mech. But it could also be something we do not have like a drop ship. Also it would be interesting to know the price you think it should cost.

The ability to purchase a 20% C-Bill boost on any mech of our choosing for MC. It'd be sold as a one use only item that you can't retrieve from the mech and put on something else, so you'd need to buy multiples if you wanted to boost more than 1 mech.

So then would the price be the same as a hero mech?

Anything, and then actually have it delivered after paying would be nice.

Well for 20% I'd imagine a 50 MC per ton price instead of the current 75 MC per ton for 30%?

Custom mech geometry. Different heads, shoulder plates, additional armor plates (purely cosmetic), different colored cockpit glass, different texture variations for cockpits, decals, different pilot skins. To me a few.

A Marauder.

Sounds logical

Customized mech models, I think it's called geometry. So I can buy aesthetic parts, like swapping out the geometry for legs, arms, torso. This also includes cockpit glass colors...like gold, rose/amber, silver frosted glass.

Maybe customer colors for lasers...perhaps as a color spectrum shift...or highlight colors to the standard laser colors.

Mech pilots maybe...even a simple as customizing the mech pilots jumpsuit color in the cockpit view. I could be open for something like pilot portraits, maybe some small skill/spec perks...nothing big, and their perk must come with trade-offs.

Seconded for these ideas, as long as they were reasonably priced - maybe 50 MC per colour, 200 MC per mech part.

Issue with this is that it cut's directly into both premium time sales and hero mech sales.

Many hero mechs are being made mediocre on purpose, "just different" with a paint job.

If they allow "hero bonus" onto any mech, there is even less reason to buy Heroes that are very often the same or worse than CBill variants.

There are exceptions of course, like Ember, Misery, etc., but these are generally not the rule.


So I think that "hero upgrade" would need to be fairly expensive at that point.

Faction Specific Camo (self explanatory)

Faction Specific Color bundles at a discount (self explanatory)


Something for vanity like

Optional Mechbay Backgrounds:

Idea is that everyone has the same mechbay/mechlab background for free. With alternate backgrounds being available for MC.

Some ideas: House, Clan & Merc themed Hangars, "Warzone", "Dropship", "Bunker" etc.



I think also, they need to improve the value of premium time to encourage more purchases of it.

[A banana in the tailpipe]

I would consider buying stacks of consumable modules for 50MC each that when used enable cbill/gxp gains during a private match for that drop.

If/When they turn their attention to single player content, I'd like them to make smaller mission packs with a short, linear story and sell them as 'Campaigns' for like $5 a piece. Make them co-op, and I'd buy them for my friends.
