Im still interested in the game outside of clicking the join button and the tutorial has inspired me again to ask for...

Id like to propose a customisable Hangar. Each of the following things could be sold separately, im wishing for lower prices. The basic module could be 15$, then everything else between 5$ to a few hundreds MC's like pattern/colours/texture.

-The "module" would be sold bare with only walking around your mech and When waiting to drop you could be sitting in your cockpit, be able to change weapon group and chat with your friends! while looking inside your hangar.. This would be 15$.

-An elevator with a console with the "mech select screen" would bring you your mech you want to look at and drop with. This would replace instantaneous switching of mech on the pad in the base module. 10$

-Texture could replace walls floor etc. This is the one that could cost MC's like 500.

-You could have a Visitor pad where when you form a group they appear in your hangar. 5$

-You would have a drop animation like in the trailer from 2012 where you are inside the ships with the warning light and siren and kickass music for private/ match while you flick the buttons. You could now have private match without premium time and a visitor could drop with you without needing the module or premium time either. MAN i would love that sight when i drop, one of my hunchback(or any mech) on the side. This would come free with visitor pad.

-You could have the return of the 4 favourite mech people still want from back in the days. They would be on the ground on their pad. 5$

-You could see your deck of CW on the wall, like the hunchy in the trailer on harness. Walking up to it would let us access CW.

Make my gaming richer than clicking join, i beg you.



What do you propose?

Or they could use their resources to make the *actual* game better.

They have shown an implacable will when it comes to create ingame content(mech) and maps, im gona tap on that will. You tap on their will to balance in your own thread if you want.

I'm all for this...any idea that will enable PGI to have a revenue stream outside of new mechs that doesn't adversely imbalance the actual combat in game is a good idea to me. Plus, I want to be able to walk around and look at the mechs in my hangar.

i can take or leave features like this tbh, they don't particularly interest me, but if adds some sort of new content other than churning out mech packs while doing little else, I'm for it.

I see the Warthunder hanger and the Armored Warfare garage. So brightly lit with full free camera swivel and zoom.
Then, I see my mech hanger.

And, that's when I shed several tears.

Ideally, if they have more resources they'll put more into improving the game.

My thought exactly. will take a hit for PGI when they make it but then it's not in competition with other mech, it goes along with it and if you paid for once you are likely to pay for the other.

I like the idea of a few open hangars and a few background vistas that can be mixed and matched.

Places on the hangar for changing colors.

Faction-correct mechs patrolling in the background.

Keep it a microtransaction and you've got me. Immersion +1

I don't mean this as a ninja. These threads have PGI's attention.

These are some of perhaps the most plausible ideas.

I'm do hope PGI is considering a very cash efficient "Beginner's Pack" for the Steam Horde. Perhaps one choice of old mech (can choose between Jenner/Hunchback/Catapult/Atlas) with 3 additional mechbays and some basic paints for a low low price of 5$. Only for new accounts.

Yep great topics. Glad someone is on it. If i was a betting man which Im not, other than the track a couple times, :) I would bet some kind of announcement on this is coming up in the next couple months.

I think there is not so much excitement about this because half the dont want to get their hopes up.

But really this is a huge part of the game that is missing among others. This could further set Mechwarrior aprt from the other 100 shooters out there.

Well fk i didnt know there was a thread this recent. Also i didn't know people still bothered posting in Suggestion sub forum lol.

And what do you mean by PGI attention? PGI has not even acknowledge the existence of these threads.

The second link want vanity item to be cbills atainable, that goes against the purpose of vanity item in a free to play game.

Custom geometry unlocks, and different paint overlays like those on the new reward mech.

CUSTOMIZATION. I'd micro transact the crap out of microtransactions if they let me make my mech my mech.

Also deckles.

+1. I can totally imagine a SC style mechlab.

You just logged in and are in the middle of the cargo bay of a leopard dropship. Two mechs are in each side, perhaps your cw drop deck? A pair of techs are talking in the catwalk above you. You walk to a console at the feet of your marauder. A line of text appears "press intro to access the mechlab". You hit intro and ( surprise! ) access the mech lab.

I don't know how a leopard is in the inside, but i guess there will be a ready room for planning ( good place for accessing cw or regular games ) and a bridge with a comm officer ( social interface? )

Edit: hate writing on the phone... quadruple text lol
