So idea is simple wxchange map voting screen for Mech exchange in PUG queues.

Instead of voting for maps and modes, server does this auto, like in old times. But we have a screen where we can choose different mech, that would be better suited for this map.

1. Mech is same weight class as Mech chosen first hand.
2. Can only go +/- 5 tonns from first chosen mech
3. Mech must be same group (IS or Clan)

3A. Alternatively previous 3 can be merged into one and that mech must be of same chassis.



It would make some less played maps show up more (Terra and Alpine) and also increase different mech variants owned, more money for PGI.

completely opposed to this.

All this would lead to would be everyone running the same build on that map that came up.

Frozen City?
Laser vomit everywhere
Terra Therma?
Gauss/AC galore
Mining?
Everyone´s in a brawler

As it is now, there are choices to make in the mechlab.
Either you design a specialized build, but run the risk of turning up on a map not suited to this build or design a more balanced mech that will be out-performed by a specialist on it´s preferred map, but will be able to perform decently on _any_ map.

You know, choices and consequences.
