This is a pretty simple suggestion. I would like the option to save different dropship set ups. There are significantly different drop deck needs depending on whether your team is attacking or defending, and it would be nice if I didn't have to reconfigure my dropship every time I switch roles.

This could just be a simple drop down menu in the pre-battle lobby where you can select dropship 1, dropship 2, dropship 3 etc. You would setup each dropship exactly as you do now. When you press save, it saves your selection of mechs to which ever dropship you currently have selected. when you select a different dropship, it loads the mech selection that was saved to that dropship. Then, when the match starts, you get the mech selection that corresponds with the dropship you have selected. After the game starts, it plays out exactly like it does now.

I would be fine with just 2. One for attacking and one for defending. True for me I'd probably run the same since I don't have any assault mechs to put on my defense que but would be nice.

It would be nice but not before other major problems in CW are fixed or revamped.

I would go a bit further. Some of us have enough mechs to fill several drop decks. So maybe 5 drop ships for everyone and additional drop decks for lets say 200 MC or 200.000 Cbills (just a ballpark figure out of the ass) with no limit on how many you can have.

Also we need to be able to fight for both IS and Clan at the same time, depending which side currently needs players, so that would be 5 dropships per side.

I would like it if the matchmaker would pull a random dropship out of the players pool of dropships depending on what would be needed most per side and team. That way somebody with a lights only dropdeck would be pitted against a team that also has a player with a lights only dropdeck. And the playerbase would be distributed more evenly so it would make it a bit easier to get matches going.
