Weclome to the world of pain created by me ( some of FRR folks know me well, sure some claners too ) and here is my idea of CW TROPHY MECH SYSTEM based on your TIER status. The main idea is simple - everyone ranked right now from TIER 5 to 1...so....lets bring death and destruction on the battlefiled with help of this ranks!
Dear PG please allow mechwarriors use trophy mech as a prize for a skill.
STEP ONE.
TIER 5 - no trophy mech
TIER 4 - light trophy mech
TIER 3 - medium trophy mech
TIER 2 - heavy trophy mech
TIER 1 - assault trophy mech
Let me give you example: if you are IS mechwarrior and ranked like TIER 2 - you can use one heavy clantech mech as a trophy in CW match. Only one mech in dropship for a current rank. You cant take medium and light if you are ranked as TIER 2.
Or if you are noob evil claner and ranked as a TIER 4 - you can use a light IS mech in you dropdeck.
STEP TWO.
You need to buy a trophy mech in store for Cbiills as a regular mech if you wish to enjoy trophy mech system. You can only own one trophy mech in game - it will be marked as a trophy in your "select mech" menu.
You cant buy 2-3-4 trophy mech and have it in hangar if you are ranked like TIER 1 - the only mech you can buy and set as a trophy is a assault.
Trophy mech cost X2 that a regular.
All you need to do is a press a " get as trophy" button before buying a mech.
STEP THREE.
All trophy mech are legal way to cheat in this game
IS trophy mech in claners hands dosent have any rules like " use only 270 engine and use only this type of engine ( ST - XL )".... or you must wear 5-10 jump jets to play it" - but they still dosent get clantech option with XL engines surviveing and will die after left or right torso crash.
Clan mech in IS hands dosent have any negative rules to like " use only this type of engine or wear 10 jumjets to play.
You get in your hands totaly empty mechs with no negative rules and can do everything you want to, but!
If you are IS mechwarrior - you cant use clan weapon on clan trophy mesh, only IS weapon.
Same for the claners - no IS weapon on IS mech, only clantech weapon techology.
STEP FOUR
How do i know about my status ( IS or claner )
well ...we all already know that your are evil claner ))
SO
CW TROPHY MECH SYSTEM ONLY AVAILABLE FOR LOYALIST
STEP FIVE
SURE! you can use your trophy mech in public games.

look i done it for free
one stupid idea wiil give your players multiple ways to bring new content with out any actions from you and you artist who bring new mech in this game as slow as i type english words that unfamiliar for me.
take a look for my idea.
1. loyalist motovation programm
2. skill motivation programm
3. Cbills farm motivation
all it means that players will spend a lot of time in your game.
and this time will be basen on pisitive emotions like
" i finaly get mech i love "
let me explain this idea and it means: i play for IS and didint like clan mechs, im FRR loyalist and sometimes when i get bored even act as a mechcommander ( but mostly im playing for fun as a lone wolf ) - so i dont have any reason to spend Cbills and buy clan tech mechs.
But - i love shadow cat view, after catapult it is my favorite. But as a FRR loyalist and IS warrior i will never been able to take it on CW match.
That means i i will never buy it in game. With my programm i finaly have a reason to have it in hangar. After all it is only up to you - TIER 3 or 2.
Lets make a closer look to my idea: everyone who have a trophy mech will spend 30 Millions + Cbills to make it elite, that means more game hours for users. And everyone who wish to up they rank and didnt have enough skills will be forced to spend MC credits and buy something usefull like Black knight and other mech that brings some power advantage for a pilot. That means more profit for your company and a lot of fun to the players. Because stuff like
" trophy shadow cat in IS loyalist hands with IS L.p.lasers with out jumjets and other negative stuff is a greate thing in CW' or other cheating builds.
PS dear PG if you dont like free gifts from a users you can always hire me and pay a lot off money as a way to pay attention to my ideas - after all most wanted ideas is that kind of thing you can understand well - that cost you a lot. Come one canadians - bring us some fun, im getting bored in CW.
