Faction pin-ups (Think Vargas girls) from your Faction/Clan

Picture from home of your significant other as a standing or hanging item, or of landscape of your Faction/Clan (pagoda for instance, temple)
Picture of your Faction/Clan leader or Hero-type (Black Widow, Chancellor, Coordinator, Captain-General etc...)

Still looking for Scotch tumbler (we have beer and champagne), with scotch/whiskey swishing around in it.

Cigar smoking in an ash tray. And I am serious.

Would the clan pin-ups be petri dishes, or test tubes?

Warhorn that sounds Reveille. Just the first 10 seconds or so.

Warhorn you can customize with your own sounds.

[Bill Lumbar]

I don't know about you, but I would have to take the South park bling bling suggestion very serious.... after all what could be more serious then the Devil in a bobble head battle to the death...... The answer is, Satin in a bobble head battle to the death with the Canadian Devil! Plus...its really kinda scary to some, just the thought of the evil one, let alone a bubble head with both contenders in ones cockpit. Its PRICELESS......

[Cryzak]

Kill count screen. Horns that makes sound if you loose arm,leg or sidetorso, ofc doesnt make sound if you die. Motivator sound(doing little dmg it motivates you and if uou get kill it says something funny "nice you ripped a arm from enemy, keep doing good work pilot. Wow you are on fire. You dominate etc!) Maybe even paper where pilot draws fast marks of kills(animated) ?

[Xolin]

What about one of those Hawaiian warrior Ikaikas? But "MWO-ised"

Create a Neurohelemt for each faction with their logo/standard military paint scheme. It would have to be a little bigger than other standing items, but it would be kinda cool to have that sitting in the corner of your screen on the control panel. http://www.sarna.net...e:Neurohelm.jpg

A personal dress weapon, hanging by a strap (so it moves with 'mech motion) with a variation by House: (quick photoshop concepts included!)

Davion: Dress saber with the Federated Sunburst worked into the brass handguard


Kurita: Dress Katana with the Kurita Dragon on the hilt


Liao: Dress Chinese Broadsword with the Liao Triangle worked into the guard in jade, tassels


Rasalhague: Dress Viking sword with the Rasalhague shield worked into the pommel


Marik: Dress Rapier with the Marik eagle set in gemstones (amethyst)


Steiner: Dress basket-hilt claymore with Steiner fist worked into the guard


For MASSIVE bonus points, include a St. Ives Compact variant of the Liao sword, a Federated Commonwealth fist-and-sunburst dress saber, a pirate Cutlass with some cool Periphery faction symbols, and a Wolf's Dragoons katana with just a hint of blood on the hilt.


Alternately, a variety of pistols set with the House sigils in the grips: (only one image, you get the idea)

Davion: Webley style revolver with pearl-handled sunburst grips
Kurita: Nakjima style automatic pistol with dragon grips
Liao: Mokarov style automatic pistol with sword-n-triangle jade grips, tassel
Rasalhague: Heavy automatic 'Desert Eagle' pistol with symbol on grips, knot work down the barrel
Marik: Double barreled sawn-off shotgun with eagle scrollwork in wooden stock
Steiner: Luger style automatic with fist symbol in gold on jet grips



Edit: And it wasn't my idea, but I love faction pinup girl posters.

[GuardDogg]

I would really enjoy either a: 8 track player, Walkman, cassette tapes, Clock, Pill bottle (like meds), Telephone (old rotating finger dial). Police Radar detector. :-)

[Malleus011]

For clan players, allow them to purchase plaques or dog tags with their preferred Bloodname.

[Helaton]

I'll go related but tangential to the topic.

Let us install different 'serious' cockpit items that can change the HUD itself. Start simple with different colors for example.

Have different slots in places to change what we see for the targeting window. Some people would like the old style mechwarrior damage bars vs paper doll for example). Or hologram (simpler than the version below)



Or different organization of the weapons grid in the lower right. Or different map module styles (round, square, diamond etc.)

Different crosshair modules or speed/jumpjet meters.

Or I would spend MC to put data on the various screens that are in some of the cockpits. (Allow users to mount LCD's that display different mech data and get rid of the ones that are cosmetic in some of the mechs.)

[Malleus011]

Another option, hanging versions of various prestigious medals and awards from the great houses. The Dragon slayers ribbon. Etc.




Rank tabs, which load your current CW rank and affiliation.





Skins, which would allow you to put your Mechwarrior in the correct uniform for your faction, or at least the right colors!!!

[shellashock]

We need a warhorn that makes a sound when the first enemy is spotted (ala enemy detected). Preferably sounding like World of Tanks "meep meep!" first tank spotted sound off.

[Cool will never die but you will]

Russ, Paul or Tina bobble heads
Police or emergency lights (could double as a war horn with sound)
A cell phone (maybe it can ring or receive a text or voicemail)

[DaisuSaikoro Nagasawa]

I just want the hologram kerensky to go on sale

[Twilight Fenrir]

Hooray... everyone gets to see my really crappy drawing abilities! To be fair... it was a fast sketch...

I want a Statue of a King Crab, with one foot up on a fallen Dire Wolf. One claw open and pointed at the Dire's Cockpit, about to finish it off...

For the Clanners, I'd like to see an Ebon Jaguar about to plug a fallen Atlas with its Gauss Rifle :3

Both should be roughed up a bit, missing/damaged arm/armor etc...

[Evil Ash]

How about...
Hanging:
a locket hanging item
pocketwatch
car keys

Standing:
A digital clock that displays local time
Framed photograph of significant other/house leader (picture can be changed?)
brown paper lunch bag
pile of unopened letters/bills
Ashtray
Old, weathered robot toy (sort of like the one at the beginning of Pacific Rim)

Warhorn:
A warhorn that plays the first line of Taps.

[Odanan]

Excellent idea for the swords... but will they fit inside the cockpit?

Why not this one?
