I'd love it to also display their HP though, I could then easily see which group is under fire by it. Mech name would also be helpful if it would fit.

paperdoll status of your lance, that'd be neat.

Remember Mech Commander?

Yeah, simple coloured boxes for company level and paper doll for lance level. Switchable from the same (or multiple) monitors. If you want to be fancy, you can make it so you can quick zoom to the monitor like viewing side panels in Elite for more info. The % we have right now is really inaccurate since your lance mate could be at 80% but also just a laser to the back CT from dying.

Anyway, I like to make suggestions based on workloads for the programmer so a 4x3 boxes that blink out is perfectly serviceable. Given the current content level, I don't really see anything else useful in a tactical sense that can be put on these monitors. Maybe that's why they've been blanked for so long - there's no game mechanics to display.
