1. Release mechs with custom geometries (Such as the bubble Battlemaster head).

2. For an MC price, be able to select your favorite mech in order to get a c-bill boost.

Example: My favorite mech to play in this game is the cicada 2B. Getting a 30% c-bill boost on that mech would be great!

3. Custom weapon geometries. Such as being able to change the look of a PPC barrell or AC 20 in the mechlab. (Obviously for an MC price)

4. Be able to change the cockpit screens to something more military - like or something of your choosing.

5. Be able to customize the HUD. Such as the HUD color , fonts, graphics, etc.

Let me know what you think of this list. Also, feel free to add any suggestions of your own.


Thanks,
Matthew

There's honestly been a million and a half different suggestions for PGI to make extra revenue.... Why they haven't capitalised on more methods I have no idea. Custom mech geo has been touched on and it may be in the works already. All I know it's an incredible amount of work to each individual chassis, pain schemes, hitboxes, texturing etc.
Being able to change aspects of your HUD. Like the old school MW3 damage bar graph. Different aiming reticules? A translucent battlegrid? (That should already be a setting in the options ffs... I hate how I can't see through it when I aim down.)
And for the love of Pete I want bright pink jump jet flames!!!

I would be willing to shell out money for all of these things. Especially #2 and #3

I don't know how many military vechiles you've been in, but I used to sit in the second seat, the one on the left side of the image...



And it gave me a view of the world like this:




Sure looks a lot like this:





Come to think of it, it might be why I'm so at home in a Locust....

Here is a couple that might help drive premium time purchases.

One monthly Double XP weekend for premium time users. The weekend after patch Tuesday.
Infusion of MC (small amount, say 500MC) at first of month for those running 3+ months of premium time.

Current boosts are not worth buying it outright. I only get it when I buy it in a pack.

[rook]

How I want to spend MC:

Let me select 1 or many players in a game (friend or foe) and give them a CBill bonus. If I think someone did awesome, I'd like to reward them. I'd be willing to pay 10~15 MC for that.

if I see a light pick up locks for an LRM boat +1
if I see an Atlas push, give the team a win, but getting mowed down in the process +1
etc...

[Khobai]

you forgot selling hats

[PlzDie]

I'll go for #2, like in Warthunder where I can Talisman a plane I enjoy flying, I will very much like to Talisman my K2.

[KHETTI]

If PGI would just stop delaying the DEcal system and get it the f*ck in, that would be another form of income, and it be popular too.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

Account wide pattern unlocks. GOD FREAKING DAMNIT we've been asking for them forever. I'd pay $20 to unlock a pattern and I'd buy them all darnit.

A commendation system would be an awesome idea. I don't think monetizing it is a good idea, however.

Just add it to the existing reporting system. Add another option on the right-click menu for commendations.

One word: Replays

[GrimRiver]

I want mech ghillie camo, it offers no stats but to look cool.

And other tank like equipment such as: Tools, spot lights(that can counter night vision/FLIR when looking straight at it but makes you super easy to see in normal vision) and empty bandoliers.

Here's a good example of what PGI could offer with regards to cockpit screens that would be more realistic.



Here's what we have now.

I need those to measure the minovsky particles.

[Alistair Winter]

Some of those are easy for PGI to do, but the cockpit screens and especially the HUD is evidently extremely hard for them to do.

Nice!

I was once trained to be the gunner on a tank. Seeing the world through a periscope / targeting system is pretty similar as just having a monitor in front of you, in a sense. But I will never get used to how crappy night vision and thermal vision is in MWO compared to modern technology

[JediPanther]

Being able to gift other pilots with colors and cockpit items would be nice. Won five or a thing in a give away? Give a few of those five off to other pilots. You'd have to but it at mc price first and have it be a one time only gift.

[Ratpoison]

They're already working on more cockpit screens, so no point asking to make us pay money for it...

[TexAce]

DEKKELS!

Also saving loadouts!
