I just thought it was strange hard point selection is not part of the game where custimization and individuality is encouraged.

It is the small things that make a game go from good to great.. things like this.

It's largely because PGI never accounted for the imbalance of high mounted hardpoints (ideally by doing something smart like making sized hardpoints) so if it was too easy to use the best mounts on every mech then it could cause problems.

It wouldn't even be a problem if PGI had done something smart about it in the many years they've had to potentially address the imbalance of high mounted hardpoints, but unsurprisingly (to nobody) that hasn't happened.

Putting jester caps, top hats and bow ties on mechs is the dumbest s%#t ever, i dont care if some nerd from the 80's thought it was cool and wrote a book about it or not that doesnt mean any of us have to think its a good idea.

and we don't care if you think it's dumb. Kinda funny how that works, eh guv?

Sorry pgi gotta be brutally honest.. spent more than 300 dollars on this game and my opinion has value.

Hell, if spending money makes your opinion have value, then mine ought to be the most sought after around.
And yet...

Sorry fella, PGI is certainly interested in your money and perhaps even your opinion, but the value of one is irrelevant to the merit of the other.

I'd be willing to check my balance sheet against yours....

and yet, still not feeling it makes my opinion any more important.

I really hope PGI forces every mech to wear clown makeup and a hat now, for at least one month out of the year.

Give us the mechlab ability to pick our hard point locations.

For example on the bushwacker which the torso missle bays stick out like, shoot me here please locations. I would run 4 srm 6 with artimis on the p2 with an xl if it was not for these god awful ears.

Give us the ability to change our cockpit window layout via cbills or whatever.

Some people like to shoot down uavs and some mechs have an annoying bar right where the uavs pop up. Cough caugh the hunstman.

Sorry pgi gotta be brutally honest.. spent more than 300 dollars on this game and my opinion has value.

Give us the ability to save and load mechload outs on our local system to save your "drive" space.

Give us 4 vs 4 stiener colosseum support at the minimum and update all the other maps to support any number of players. 12 vs 12 on stiener map would be carnage.

No where in any of the books or lore have i read mech pilots putting useless **** on the outside of their mechs.. camo patterns and colors to look like different units. Yes. Mechwarriors are not going to add useless weight to their mechs. Armor, firepower, logistics support, mobilty or nothing.

Why would they do that when they can just sell mechpacks instead?

You should read further down. He means picking which hardpoint gets which weapon, allowing you to use a high mount vs. a low mount for example. Not switching the hardpoint somewhere else.
