Simple idea to allow those who contribute to development to (somewhat) decide the direction of development outside of mechs. This wouldn't be absolute, and other development would still take place.

Basically set up a stretch goal voting system where each time a cash purchase is made (of whatever type - store / MC / steam etc.) the purchaser gets to vote on what PGI should develop.

e.g. For each five dollars spent, the vote could count for one point, and there would be varied selections. A very basic example of what the topics may look like is below.

Solaris:

• 1000 points = new all vs all game mode
  
• 2000 points = new Solaris maps
  
• 5000 points = voiced comantator

Faction play

• 1000 points = new themed conflict each week
  
• 2000 points = add hire and fire forums where factions can employ mercs
  
• 5000 points = AI scripted tanks and air support

General:

• 1000 points = new QP map based on a space city
  
• 2000 points = ability to select appearance of mechwarrior
  
• 5000 points = removal of terra therma

I think Russ just wanted to throw the idea out to the public to see if anyone would bite the Solaris idea. If you are talking about a crowd fund raiser (which is what it looks like what you are suggesting with the points idea) then I really don't think it's going to sink well with what is left of the player base. The founders that funded Faction Warfare will most likely not throw their money again at PGI since they had to wait several years to receive what they got (which the reception was mostly negative).

What I don't understand is why they can't both release mechpacks and any optional (but not mandatory) trinkets or some kind of cockpit c-bill bonus item for players to fund the Solaris idea that they have (once their plan is set in stone). I have no natural interests in funding something different than newer mechpacks at this point in time, since at least newer mechpacks are a tangible virtual thing vs a promise that we will most likely sit on for a few years.

They should not add Solaris

They need to fix faction warfare before they add anything else

And we need the asymmetrical attacker/defender Union dropship defense gamemode that we were promised like 2 years ago.
