They need a better interface for the CW drop decks, period.

[Mannson]

Would be nice to have atleast 2 drop deck "profiles" to choose from. I bet the vets have their own specialized decks for both attack and defense. Some may even have map specific.

Dunno, could be turned into a real money sink too. 2-3 loadouts free, additional one costs, just like mechbays.

[adamts01]

I don't know why they don't have additional decks. They could even sell them like they do mech bays. And not let the same mech be in multiple decks, so people have to buy/grind more. Then select the deck based on level/attack/defend/beer fullness/whatever. I'm sure they'd make bank by doing this. And it would give CW a little more depth.

please pass the word about on your friendly TS of forums

Oh god give me multiple decks....

[PFC Carsten]

Not gonna happen, needs programming instead of XML juggling.

I've got decks for boreal, for vitric and for everything else. For both Clan and IS. No difference between defense or attack though.
So, that is 3 each that I switch all the time. I modify them as well, when I've got new mechs or simply want to experiment...
So, yeah, having profiles would be amazingly userful.

As for the ceasefire.... can't say it makes any difference to me. I usually either go afk (for a cuppa and such) for that time, or we have something else to do ingame.

I mean, you can always edit your mechs and then pick them when Ceasefire ends. But yeah, for those using multiple dropdecks and/or different mechs for each map, switchable dropdecks would be useful.

Need to talk to a higher order:

Oh Great Russ, give me multiple decks!

[Lolo van Trollinger]

Oh Great Russ, give me multiple decks!





Make them choosable for "hot/cold" times "attack/defend/counterattack/counterdefend"



Need an example how to do it?

Deck1 . . . . OptionalDeck2 . . . .MC-Deck3 . . . . MC-Deck4

hot
attack
defend
counterattack
counterdefend

cold
attack
defend
counterattack
counterdefend

add radiobuttons, make e.g. deck2 earnable by X CW victories achievement or c-bills, deck3..n by MC or some other Thing... everyone will have fun with that

Multiple dropdecks ... come on PGI !

We wants it, we needs it, gives it to us, yes ?

[-=Heloc=-]

With the way that editing a deck works once you're in the lobby, it would even be helpful to be able to save arrangement of chassis, and not even variants. I spend most of that time scrolling up and down to find the chassis that I want. If I'm only swapping out a variant or build (swapping out my ER-PPC equipped Thunderbolt TDR-9S for my more brawly Med-pulse equipped TDR-5SS for example), it's a pretty quick and easy task. Just click one the one you want to swap and it takes you to your line-up of that chassis.

Remember guys, the ideas that take the least number of man-hours to code and implement are the ones that PGI is most likely to actually use.

[Swagpanda89]

More dropdecks would also make cw more attractive and player friendly at all --》more players --》more money income --》better game

[quantaca]

Id even be willing to buy the extra dropdecks with MC (but be reasonable with the pricing )

[Karl Streiger]

multiple dropdecks is a must
while you can click your deck on the fly and hope it react propperly its would be a kind of luxury to choose between prefedined drop decks....
so MechBays cost MC... why shouldn't dropdecks cost MC either?
Say: 1 deck is free
2 deck costs 300MC
3. deck 600MC
4. deck 900MC
no body said it should be cheap

[Neput Z34]

Here is a crazy idea:
Instead of having all owned mechs available for Faction Warfare selection:

Select ( _ ) of mechs, or ( _ ) drop decks "to load aboard the Jump Ship"

For Mercenaries:

Allow the unit leaders to purchase additional "space / cargo room aboard the jump ship", using unit coffers, for all currents members of the unit.

Allow individual players to purchase "space/ cargo room aboard the jump ship", using own funds.

4 mech bays are free to start. 4 additional personal and 4 unit mech bays can be purcahsed with C-Bills or MC. That is 8 could be bought with out spending MC, for total of 12

All additional mech bays are MC only.

For Loyalists:
Extra bays are awarded with ranks, or could be bought like the mercenary ones.

At the very least remove all "INVALID" mech load outs from drop deck selection.
