PGI please allow us to make Skill Point Templates. I would like to make templates based upon the roles mechs are configured to and Pilots trained for. The Battletech books kept alluding to several Lance Roles and these could be used to start defining useful of skill point templates.

I would like to define Skill Point Set up such as: "Scout Light" (General purpose light), "Screening (Anti-light) Light, Harasser Light, Sensor/ECM Light (dedicated C4 sensor/Jammer setups), etc...

Mediums would take on rolls such as Attack, Screening, Harasser, Fire Support, Ambush/Sniper etc.

Heavy Template's could be... Attack, Line Defense, Command, Fire Support, and Close support.

Assaults; Assault, Line Defense, Command, Fire Support, and Close Support.

One could further define Skill Point setup with caveats such as: Primary Gun, Laser, or Missile and even add secondary caveats like, "Attack Heavy-PriGun-SecLaser" to the mix.

This game option would greatly alleviate much of our Skill point allocation drudgery and leave us to enjoy the new game. Thanks....

Yes ! This is vey important with a 91 point skill tree and the task that we will be filling a lot of them out all at once (at least the more experienced players will). It's a lot of work and a template would really shorten the downtime. Thanks for posting.
