NOT in any order of importance.

1) CW Map name always clearly displayed in queue room, on all screens.
Currently people who remember the order of the maps can tell which map is coming up anyway; making the information readily available in all matchmaking screens would simply make it easier for new players, and thus make the game a tiny bit more accessible.

2) Mech tonnage should be listed in all CW drop deck configuration screens.
New players may have trouble memorizing all the mech tonnages, and thus may run into unnecessary hassles in trying to pick the right mech for the moment.

3) Mech tonnage should also be listed in the main store window.
It would simply make it easier to find a mech of just the right weight. To experienced players it's of course one big hoot, but again, new players would have it a tiny bit easier getting into the game.

4) Introduce CW preset dropdecks.
Having to individually switch out all 4 mechs in order to make optimal dropdeck adjustments is a pain in the bottom, especially if a drop commander at last second shouts for everyone to bring jumping lights and you've until then had a strictly heavies and mediums deck. Having even just a handful of different dropdecks saved in a dropdown menu would be fantastic.
---Alternately there could be a Favorites menu for mechs.

5) Mouse-over armament tooltip for CW dropdeck selection.
Once you start having a ton of mechs, it can be tough to remember the precise armaments you have on each mech. The CW dropdeck selection would benefit from having a pop up tooltip to display just the armaments on a mach.

6) Introduce ability to configure consumable modules in the CW dropdeck.
Maybe you're playing with an LRM team that wants lots of UAVs, or maybe the team strategy is to pack mucho artillery, who knows. Either way, it's a needless hassle to have to do it all in a different screen.

7) Let the leader of a CW/Public group to enable other players to invite players into the group.
Could be just a general 'permit others to invite' on off toggle button, or an individual tickbox beside the player names in the group screen, to permit just a specific player to make invites.

8) CW Quick Game button for automatically queuing into the game that's closest to starting.
Could come with tick-box options like: Join any game/Join own faction game, and Attack only/Defense Only/Any.


Some of these have probably already been proposed. In that case, count this as just a vote towards them.
