Greetings Mechwarriors. Today I have 2 simple questions. Would it add immersion if each mech had a description in either the loadout or store menu? Maybe a year for when the model was made somewhere in the corner? Little touches like that.

Basic chassis lore info like date of initial production, faction of origin, etc. And then a smattering of your pertinent stats related to that mech... number of drops, w/l ratio, kills, k/d ratio, assists, components destroyed, number of miles walked, etc.

Count me in.

It would be a tiny baby step in the right direction for immersion....

We've begged for this for years... nothing...

Easy to so... easier than supply crates... but nothing...

I have it on good authority that PGI is totally reading the forum and very interested in ideas like this. Unfortunately, they seem to have missed the last 9000 times this was suggested.

(Not a knock on you, OP. I guess what I'm saying is: yes, it would be cool. Don't hold your breath.)

Tweet Russ about it, that's the only way anyone important will notice.
And even then it's still questionable...

And then after all the fluff we can have the real descriptions, like "Trash Tier. Do Not Buy".

No, no, thats a 50 MC oneshot description.

What everyone else above said. Yes, its been asked for about a zillion times. Yes, people have offered to port over the descriptions from sarna into whatever format PGI wants -for free. Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes we have asked for this, and yes it would add just a touch of much needed immersion. Yet PGI says nothing, and this is their game so we should all just be silent and go back to our island.
Sigh.
