Wow so many ideas!

We will lock the thread by 10AM PDT tomorrow (May 5th)!

[MoonUnitBeta]

Can't wait! I haven't even read all of them, but there's quite a few gooders!

[Big Tin Man]

More ideas

--Warhorn--Bell. Not a boxing bell, but a 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' bell
--Green Plastic Army men (getting stepped on by a mech?)
--'Kilroy was here' sketch
--Baseball cap from previous deployments (Op 24, Tukkyid, etc)
i.e
IMHO, better than the banner + hanger thingy
--Brass Knuckles (bonus knuckles + dagger combo)
--Orbital Gauss Canon that fires when you get a kill
--Union Class dropship

Small aquarium bowl with splashing water surface and your choice of fish "pet" and/or ornaments.

i.e. beta fish, guppies, gold fish, or perhaps... a PIRHANA????

Depending on size, might be able to include a volcano or air operated treasure chest, waving skeleton, etc.

[HA HA POOP]

How about a hand grip strengthener? or some dumb bells?

[TripleEhBeef]

How about some "militaria" antiques?

Ex, an old school beat up helmet stylized with "SLDF". Or old service watches, lighters, card decks, field manuals, bayonets, Succession Wars era war bonds, etc.

A Homer Simpsopn warhorn calling his doh!

Woohoo! for a kill. D'oh! for a TK.

Also, I still want the ability to mute warhorns.

[Commander A9]

I like the bagpipe warhorn and new dropship ideas!

Definitely should have a portrait of Kerensky himself in there.

Hanging dogtags of First Somerset Strikers, since many mechwarriors were first drawn to Mechwarrior from that TV series (although that might be copyrighted).

Pistol, or personal defense weapons.

Emergency escape button.

Ant farm.

Wolf, Bear, Jaguar, and/or Falcon stuffed "plushie" doll (with super-cute faces).

A Mech-Tracker Holo Pad

On this pad is a list of statistic for the mech it is mounted in. Switches between Totals and Match counts every 45 seconds.

-Kill counter. List total kills made in mech. Switches to kills made in match. (Flashes when a kill is added and switches over to match counter briefly)
-Damage dealt. Counts total damage done. Switches to damage done in current match.
-Operation time. A tachometer that counts how long the mech has been operated for. (with a sticky note stating "Replace Fusion Rods at 1000 Hours". Switches over to average lifespan of mech.

[KHAN ATTAKHAN]

Probably the same as some others, dogtags with faction, unit name, rank and your name on it.
kind of like this layout;

CLAN: *****
UNIT: *****
RANK: *****
NAME: *****

HOUSE: *****
UNIT: *****
RANK: *****
NAME: *****

A mounted item showing canon regimental crests - 10th Skye Rangers, Davion Heavy Guards, Sirian Lancers, Com Guards, etc.

Another type showing famous Merc unit badges.

Another with Periphery states.

[Dagrum Darkforge]

Atlas with terra on its shoulders

Battle damaged mech statues both IS and Clan smoking and missing limbs

C-bil warhorn shaped like Cbil symbol and makes cha ching sound like old cash registers used to

[Morang]

Standing item: Musical instruments, most likely flutes, smaller reed aerophones and mouth harmonica. Could be different for different factions.

They shouldn't work as warhorns obviously (to not interfere with mounted warhorns) but starting and ending (victory/defeat) music can be replaced by piece played on standing instrument.

[EAP10]

I've seen a few ideas concerning changing the HUD, and I would like to suggest another. You could change the style of the HUD, (different shapes, lines, crosshairs, etc) as well as maybe choosing what to color each individual piece of the HUD. Another thing: the monitors in the mech SHOULD as of now display things, but they don't. So maybe once you implement the working monitors, you could sell items so you could customize the monitors to your liking.

war horn
one side you have human head the other a human skull the speakers look to be violently crammed in their jaws and wired tied in their. they make a cackling laugh and a muhh haa laugh. If PGI would let me I could voice the laugh I can make a really creepy cackling and evil laugh.
really Russ send me your work number and I'll show you my creepy laugh muhaaa haaaa haaaa

creepy clown heads with a creepy clown laugh

items
a rotting human hand on a suction cup and spring looks like its waving when you walk and waves bye when you die
a necklace of human ears
shrunken heads
a human head with the eye looking around
a skull
a lucky rabbits err human foot
glass jar with eyes
alien fetus in a bubbling jar (my sister had one of these I think it was a lava lamp kind of thing)

and all of y ideas and everyone else's shelved in favor of getting the cockpit monitors to do some thing instead of reading no signal. like some people have said I think we have more than enough items. would like to see the monitors in the cockpit working. stuff that needs work first fun stuff last.
