How about a passenger mode that allows a player to sit in the cockpit of another mech and learn to play the game from the back seat. No control features, no XP or Cbill awards, just the ability to watch.

Team members could demonstrate tactics to newbies and if your friends are playing and there is no room for you in the group, you could at least hang out and watch the game.

I think I'd spend more time just watching games than watching netflix.

That way, you could enjoy the game while eating dinner!

I don't see that it would be hard to do. For all we know, when you die you might be able to act as a spectator in a teammates mech until the battle ends.

It would be awesome if you could just adjust a setting in your profile that would allow or not allow passengers. If your setting is on, then someone could ride along in the mech.

Give an option for each pilot to mark themselves as a "Training Lead" or something.

I would like this to be included as long as the technical demands are not too high. Bandwidth will probably not be an issue, but latency might.

It might be useful in showing off the game as well as Guild training/testing functions.
