I see a lot of in game chat when people drop into Escort about how it breaks suspention of disbelief and doesn't make sense. One thing that I would really suggest is that you could edit the escort version of the map so that the defending teams launches from a mechbay hanger rather than the typical dropship drop. It doesn't make a lot of sense for drop ships to drop you off, but then leave behind the mech that your are only escorting 2 or 3 clicks across the map.

It would probably make a tad more sense if you were having to escort the prototype or vip mech to an airfield for pickup from a mechbay. I get that this is a kin to smear the queer, if you'll pardon the old expression, and that's another thing I think I'd like to see in this mode. Instead of the VIP being a fAtlas that doesn't defend itself you should instead randomly pick one assault mech and make that person the one you have to escort to the extraction point. It would add a little bit of flavor to that mode if the VIP wasn't a robot who walks in one of two directions every single time. That's a bit too predictable.

Just designate one of the heaviest mechs on one team as the VIP and get him to the other side of the map. Problem solved.
