Hi there I've recently started playing this game and I have an understanding of the tabletop system, which you follow very well. I have a problem with the Nova Prime I just sunk all my Bills into however. The mech has no customization, apart from weapons and heat sinks. I can't remove jump packs, which I don't use, to clear up space, I can't upgrade to Endo Steel or Ferrous Fibre, I can't upgrade the engine. All I can do is change weapons, heat sinks and armour value. Could you fix this please, as the mech burns heat too quickly with downgraded laser count. I thought I was able to tailor to my playstyle, but after sinking all my match earnings into this I can't make it my own custom mech. Please reply and tell me you can remedy this, as I like this mech, but having no input with it makes it useless and a waste of hours of game time. Thanks foir reading this.

That's the downside of onmimechs. You can change entire onmipods (arm, leg, head), but they come with tons of fixed equipment including their engines.

2ERPPC Nova build is pretty decent or load it up with a ton of small pulse lasers.

My suggestions:

Make the Skills able to be sorted. Preferably Clan/I.S., and/or by Ballistic/Energy/Missle/Other.

New Game Modes, all working titles:
New game mode #1: Annihilation; 24 person drop, 1 vs All. No teams. Last man standing wins. Most % health wins.
New game mode #2: Obliterate; 12 vs 12 teams, single item in the center of map, like Domination, but it keeps track of who did damage via a meter above your HUD (Your team vs Enemy Team). Timer counts down from 30 seconds when damage has been done to it, resets when damage by other team is dealt. At time end (usual 15 minutes), last damage by a team wins. If all of a team is defeated, timer continues until at least 1 point of damage has been dealt, then game ends.

I love the game so far and I love it to death. I want more of it, like when you know you shouldn't ask for more because you should be grateful for what you have but the cheesecake is just sooooo goooooooood and you /have/ to put whipped cream on it too.

• Solaris VII. I don't know who wouldn't want a free for all, I'm so fascinated to see what sorts of mechs would come out on top. Hybrid Builds? Versitile Builds? Brawlers? Lights?
  
• And with that, Solaris VII mechs like the Silver Fox and Volkh.
  
• Massive Scale multi-company battles. I'm sure the que wait times would be immense but so would the scale of the action. It'd open up worlds of possibilities for tactics, finally we could see what split groups and well coordinated companies are /truly/ capable of.
  
• Homegrown Clan Battlemechs like the Woodsman, Arcas, Incubus, and Howler. IIC mechs are fantastic and all, but seeing original clan designs would be interesting don't you think? I'd especially love to see the Incubus (Aka Vixen).
  
• And for that matter, Inner Sphere Omnimechs such as the Templar, Strider, Perseus, Hauptmann, Arctic Fox and Sunder.

*Edit: I almost forgot, a few new modules for such things like very minor speed boosts, jump distance, weapon functionality (Reduced laser range, LB-X spread, etc), and perhaps a quirk or two for ECMs.

Correct me if I am wrong on this one, guys, but Russ confirmed Solaris being in the pipeline as one of the next big things after CW3 in one of the last TownHall Meetings, did he not?

pgi does not have any programmers intelligent enough to write AI programs for testing grounds..... Blizzard does

CW3 has been and is going down the tubes. As a ceo, russ bullock dragging pgi and MechWarrior down the tubes. russ bullock needs to be replaced as ceo with somebody who can be reasoned with.

Now I know how you feel about Russ Bullock and the style he runs the company in and obviously you don't like it because you know better. What I actually wanted to know was, if I am wrong in the assumption that Solaris was presented being the next big thing.

PGI needs to stop chroming and pin striping the MWO car and do the needed basic maintenance. It may look good but if the wheels fall off what's the point. Oh, and if you could please get the sales guy/person out of the development meetings, that would be good -- meme implied.

Steam market integration, so people can trade individual mechs, equipment, banners, etc.

It'd give people a chance to try out a lot of different mechs in the field without waiting a gazilion years of game hours, and add a new element to the whole game experience.

I'm sure there's a way for PGI to recoup money out of it too...

Immediate drop deck/scout deck access from the faction page, with its own 4-panel. I shouldn't have to be in a lobby with a bunch of impatient teammates before I can reliably prep a deck!

• An XP system that doesn't shaft you over if you're on the losing side, i.e. spent 4 minutes escorting fatties on polar highlands with ecm, scouted, chased off lights did 393 damage (erll build) 3 kill assists - - pretty much what you would want from a low tonnage medium. We lost and I picked up 132 xp . . . . not the first time and no doubtedly won't be the last, but hardly recognises what effort went into the match. Yes a bonus for being on the winning side, but not a severe penalty for being on the losing one.
  
• In the age of advanced technology, please can we have rear view mirrors or inset view panel . . I can fit one on my car for under £75, surely in the advanced modern era they can fit one to a mech?
  
• A Union Class Dropship instead of Leopards for quick play matches
  
• Additional maps in FW Scouting and remove time/atmospheric effects that totally blanket dropship smoke

And the real biggie . . .

An Aerospace aspect to the game!

On the other hand you could have been an AFK, the game was won and gone up a tier. PGIs logic is just flawed it seems,

Hey MechWarriors!

Just like the Event Suggestion sub-forums, I'll be checking up on this sub-forum here for the most wanted features from the community. The most talked about wants and wishes! (Please make new threads so I can see your suggestion's popularity!)

It's important for us to know what you are most looking forward to, or what you really wish you could have in MWO right now.

So let's keep this sub-forum active together and post your MWO Features wish-list here!

Elementals, please!

Nice Idea, but from the level of PGIs past upgrades not going to happen.

The ability to multitask while waiting for a match, you know...edit mechs in the mech lab (obviously not the one you're dropping with), chat with friend list/unit, edit settings, etc. Why lock everything up?

I'd like to see an exchange for premium time! Assign a value in MC or C-BILLS to each day of premium time so it can be sold to finance other in-game content!!

[CannonFodder30]

I want two new Achievements one called Clear Cutter and the other called Bulldozer. The Clear Cutter is 1,000,000 trees knocked down and you get the title Lumberjack. The Bulldozer is 1,000,000 light poles and you get title Road Crew.

No reason why other than I think it would be funny, that and I love the sound that light poles make when you hit them.
