So, I already know that when you view your profile, you are able to see what each 'Mech you own, but I was thinking, why not make visible to all members what 'Mechs each pilot/player has at their disposal instead of just being able to see your own?

I realise that many people might be afraid that this option might give their opponents an advantage on the battlefield as to how many 'Mechs people have and possibly what loadout they have for their 'Mechs, but with so many people owning so many 'Mechs (sometimes each varient chassis of each 'Mech in each Class range), when it comes to dropping in a match, that negates the possibility of knowing what 'Mechs people will choose to drop with (since each 'Mech you choose to drop with is hidden from the enemy team until they get a lock on you and/or see you via line of sight), but I feel it is kind of pointless to be only able to see what 'Mechs you currently have and no one else - and with so many 'Mechs released and available to use in the game, this should not make much difference.

Think of it more as a kind of way to show off how many 'Mechs you have, plus what you have named them (bragging rights mostly, I suppose) and

Although I only (currently) have six (6) 'Mechs, I feel a little disappointed that so much effort has been done to show them in our personal profile only for us to see, when they should be shared by everyone who views someone's profile.

It could, I think, allow some pilots/players a better idea of people to ask who own the same 'Mechs about what weapons configurations suit which 'Mech variant more than others instead of always posting on the forums about what build goes best with each 'Mech. Not to mention that it would make profiles a little more interesting by seeing all the different 'Mechs and names people have for them that they own and could possibly give an incentive to make other pilots/players work harder to obtain even more 'Mechs for themselves and fight harder and smarter for the team so they can obtain victories a lot more instead of just pugging around doing what they want while the rest of their team mates die needlessly.

At least, I for one would not mind having the option to be able to let others see what 'Mechs I own and use a lot of the time, but if some are shy or rather keep their owned 'Mechs hidden so no one else but the owner can view them, then perhaps an added option of being able to disengage a feature so you can make the 'Mechs owned visible or hidden.

Guessno one caresfor this suggestion, so maybe a forum moderator or someone else on staff with the ability can delete this topic, if you can?
