I watched the trailer for the Marauder cockpit preview and I have to say, Im very excited. Inside the cockpit there was not a single "NO SIGNAL" black screen and everything was lit up and working, displaying things that looked like important information for a pilot to read or a mech to display.

I noticed the heat-sink screen looked a little different and it definitely added to the atmosphere of the game.

Dev's I sincerely hope you use this game wide, perhaps with some variance between chassis, and maybe even develop them further to display more information (useful or otherwise) as the addition of working screens, though not the top thing to fix probably at the moment, it is something I'd love to see be done.

Anyone else agree?

It is on the roadmap as part of the DEc 1 patch

While it's cool, this is not something we were in the dark.
Been known for, I would say, at least 2 weeks now.

I'm just hoping all mechs have the working monitor that displays kills in plain view. I believe there are a couple of mechs where you actually have to look around your cockpit to see any displays.

I didn't know about the screen update so it is a pleasant surprise for me. It's about time they ditch that no signal nonsense.

Very cool.

It looks bad. Atleast as far those cockpit monitors goes.

It looks a bit MechWarrior 4 to me (not a pretty game to begin with), but I consider it an improvement. It at least gives the impression that they do something and just weren't simply left unplugged by a incompetent technician.

What they really should have done IMO is make the screens color coded for IS and Clan. IS screens should be gold and Clan screens that light blue.

Maybe all screens (Clan or IS) pull from the same set of files with no differentiation of faction, so they chose green as a universal middle ground. Who knows (especially since I've only seen the IS Marauder with screens and no Clan mech).

It's something.

And exactly it should have been color coded. It's something i like. IS style and Clan style.

But too much round interfaces on square screens. It's looks terrible.

I wish they would put more effort on it and make it custom for other things.

Great feedback and hope it get's seen.

I don't know why, but the trailer has gotten me more excited about MWO than I have been since the Misery trailer. I already knew about the screens, but to finally see them in action!
