Personally I feel this will make the game play more enjoyable and interesting, as teams would be able to deploy as a Company composed of various platoons instead of a group of pilots each to its own mech. Of course I consider this an option, in addition to be able to deploy several platoons of human piloted mechs.
Also think the AI platoons option would make possible to fight team battles, even when there are only two players available/willing to deploy.
Another thing I would like to see, just for the heck of it, is the ability to customize and pilot massive defense points, even if they are unable to move, or move very little.
Hey these are just my ideas, let me know what you think.
EDIT: My apologies, posted this on the wrong forum, it should have been posted on the Suggestions forum.
