A radio receiver which, when you kill an enemy Mech, receive the message from the drop ship: "Good work, pilot".

For additional simlike benefit, you could also receive a radio report of victory if you're alive at the end of the match, or when the enemy's tickets are approaching 750, or the base is being captured, etc.

I won? ;-)

EDIT:
Ok now seriously ))

Instead of producing 1000 USLESS items doing nothing I'd really like to see some that actually would improve your favorite mech. By some really negligible margin but still, looking at this hanging crap one wouldn't have a uselessness feeling.
For example:
- you belong to Ghost Bear faction - having GB cockpit banner rises your crit change by 0.1%
- you have dreamcatcher - it boost your laser range on night maps by 2%
- 50cal neclace - reduce your ammo exp chance by 1%
- mug of coffee - speeds up mech by 1 km (caffeine any1?)
- speakers - after kill your crit change goes up by 2.5% for 10 seconds
- snowman/snowglobe, cup of coke with ice - mech cooling improved by 0.1
- Tukayyid event items - I let others invent something interesting, such bonus could be unique
etc

There are enough items, you can just invent nice boost that will not break the game, but make them
meaningful.

PGI PLZ! And give it the added bonus that it mutes warhorns. I'd buy one for every mech I have (which is like 40).

Vintage aircraft that should be in the public domain like the Fokker Dr.I or the Sopwith Camel etc. Could have markings reflecting most nations. Distant enough in history not to bother people like WW2.

Good luck to all entrants.
