i'd rather they get rid of cockpits, 70% of the resources this game uses is for the cockpit.

[Senor Cataclysmo]

If you're not going to use them OP, don't use them...

No one's forcing you to actually equip cockpit items you don't want. Do you feel this way about having unused single heat sinks in your inventory too?

[Nightshade24]

I would find it cool if a cockpit item gave like a 1% chance to something. ( average ones, more expensive ones should get something else, kinda like the only cockpit items in game thus far that actually DO somethign besdies look pretty in the phoenix pack)

Things like the Rabbits foot giving a 1% extra crit chance.
The Mugs giving you a slight C-bill income. (pack mugs and mwo mugs)
Faction mugs (ghost bear for eg) and other faction content give a decent loyalty point bonus in CW.
Hanging bullet gives you 1 round of ammo extra for all ammo weapons.
Clapping Surrat gives 1 c-bill, exp, gxp, loyalty, etc per game.


Just minor stuff that makes things a bit cooler but not pay 2 advance or obliterate the enemy.
Just novelty stuff. (who knows, 1% crit isn't that bad, Machine guns fire hundreds of bullets with ease. that makes at least 1 bullet causing a crit faster/ easier per second...)

Oh yeah, and can we have pets? And can I upgrade my armor with magical power stones to reflect 5% laser damage? Can we switch from a heat system to a mana system? Can I make my pilot a level 80 mage?

Well if you call an Locouts or two for my Atlas an Pet? Hmmm....I would be in. But only with a sweet Pink Pony Camo.

But a Locust only gives +1 to small lasers. I'll take a Hollander that gives me +5 for Gauss And steel blue camo paint gives +1 armor! And it will only cost 500 mc

[CaveHermit]

I do wish I could sell back some of my unused mech bays.. Got like 20 extra of them.
I also agree that SOME of the cockpit items should offer HIDDEN bonues.. Bullet, Mugs, Lighted strings and holograms (Maybe turn off when engine damge reaches a certain percent). Nothing big, and definately nothing published (otherwise people would buy just them)
I agree while this thread started out..dare I say it ..Stupid.. It can be turned benefical.

But ya know. Ponys make everthing 20% cooler. oki, its 750 MC, but i guess the cooling its worth it.

[kapusta11]

I think OP has a point there, PGI could've rescale at least one mech instead of modeling dozens of garbage cockpit items that break immersion.

Way to complain about free stuff.

Also, I never received the snow "glob" Sounds cool.

Although true...

How about having a yard sale weekend where we can sell this stuff and buy cockpit items we would prefer to have.

I would also like to do this with some stuff.

MWO MUG - looks kinda cheap, then again, it's just a mug
MWO LOGO STEIN - ? idek - texture on the stein looks like HL1 + put random generic mwo logo on it
RABBIT'S FOOT - i actually like it
SNOW GLOB - won it, looks rather nicely done
WISHBONE - so/so nothing fancy about it, then again.. it's a chicken bone so..
STANDING MONKEY - looks like a 2/10 first try fan mod (1 for "it has animation" another 1 for "it has textures")
FOUR LEAF CLOVER - this one i actually like quite a lot, simple luck charm
CLAN DAGGER STAR STEIN - stein texture is eww~ logo is generic, way to bright it's like "whoa you purchased preorder and endorsed our game?! here, have this cheap looking copypasta stein our student apprentice put together while he took a dump. then again, it's free so hey.

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

1/10 for complaining about free stuff.

GG clothes.

I still like my suggestion a long time ago - if you have every cockpit slot filled, you get 1 extra structural point to the head of your mech with all the items in it. Why? Because all the random items help protect the pilot a bit more... hehehehe...

Okay, yes, this is more of a joke idea, but I love the image of a guy's coffee cup exploding as it blocks the last bit of kinetic energy from a AC round or something... Not practical, but funny.

WOW! My brain just can't handle how DUMB the original post is.I am truly impressed.

You mean like all the free mechs and mechbays PGI keeps giving people?

That would be nice as well; the only special mech in my hangar that actually has an engine and is not just a lawn ornament is my HBK-4G(F); I use that thing just about every day. All the rest were stripped of everything, and are sitting there collecting dust.

I agree. I would keep buying more mechs, and then never running them after I finished their skill trees. There are some mechs I always go back to though. My HBK-4G(F) is one of them.

[Pjwned]

I would actually bother using some of them maybe if the UI wasn't such a mess.

[Raggedyman]

Suggestion: don't use the freebies. I'm quite sure PGI won't cry.

[Coolant]

I don't use the cockpit items, but if I'm getting them free I'll gladly take them It's not like they are taking up slots for others things.

[Fate 6]

The only thing I've ever been disappointed about are the faction hanging items that came with the mech packs. They just look really mediocre, and in some cases are lower quality that what's available in the store for MC. I can barely see the clan ones in my cockpit, and the IS ones seem faded or bleached out.

I like the snow glob though, thanks

For real, takes too long to put them in or take them out. God forbid I wanna move a warhorn to a different mech, it takes me multiple minutes with all the clicking and waiting. It should take me 30 seconds.
