In the vein of the other item suggestion threads let's talk about cockpit items. Everything from a lump of coal to war horns, etc.

Standing
Fafnir model that fires it's gauss rifles when you score a kill
A Nascar race car
Atlas with an umbrella & sign that says "Here comes the rain"

Warhorn
Scream of death
Hat trick (only activates when you score 3 kills)

Also I'd like to be able to buy the Cbill boosting cockpit items for MC. Don't make me buy two separate mech packs to get them.

Share your ideas, don't be afraid to think outside the box.

A fourth cockpit item that functions as a press to beep horn with many flavors and variations (leaving warhorns for that on kill sound effect). For beeping at folks who are path or shot blocking, give it a cooldown to avoid spammage or whatnot.

[N0ni]

To start off (since we're technically in the "Civil War era"): Peter Steiner-Davion and Vladimir Ward holograms.

Maybe some Word of Blake stuff?

[Wil McCullough]

Fidget spinners. May that monstrous idea survive into the 30th century.

[Dago Red]

Wilhelm scream, sad trombone and rimshot war horns.

Piles of empty beer cans strewn about the cockpit.

On death wilhelm scream would actually be hilarious and worthy of MC purchase LOL.

Lore-based Item first! No Gameboys, Christmas bells, or other non-lore rubbish; use the BattleTech lore for a BattleTech game ffs. Or at least stuff that makes sense from a military point of view. (Who would take a lit Molotov cocktail into the crew compartment of a fighting vehicle?)

Some Ideas...

Hanging Items:

• Sun-Hou-Tzu pendant (gifted to Victor Steiner-Davion by Kai Allard-Liao)
  
• Five-petalled lotus pendant (worn by Yubari Takuda in one of the worst BT novels)
  
• Morgan Hasek-Davion gold locket (worn by Morgan Hasek -Davion, showing his wife Kym Sorensen Hasek-Davion and his children)
  
• Ardan Sortek pocket charm
  
• Awards and Medals from the lore
  
  • See here for a list; all of them might be handed out as reward in FP events
• Broadsword (carried by officers of the Third Lyran Guards)
  
• Katana (carried by DCMS officers)
  
• Dao (carried by some CCAF officers iirc)

Standing Items:

• Mech manuals
  
• The Word of Blake (the book)
  
• set of maps and orders
  
• more pistols, especially laser pistols
  
• MREs / field rations (ready to eat at the end of the battle...)

Warhorns:

• (Lore-) Unit Warhorns (a Donegal Guards Warhorn e.g. could show the brigade symbol, a cloverleaf, and play pseudo-Irish music; the Skye Rangers would play bagpipes of course; there are hundreds such Warhorns possible)
  
• ComStar Warhorn (showing the ComStar symbol and playing pseudo-religious chants)
  
• Word of Blake Warhorn (similar but more aggressive in tone)

[Shifty McSwift]

Also a sleeping cat standing item.

Michael Jackson standing that dances on a kill.
Smooth criminal warhorn.

[Bohxim]

An ams kitfox/piranha that flashes laser ams beams randomly upon a kill. Makes no sense but I'd like to have it for the aesthetics

Moonwalking assassin figure then?

Also, I'd like to see field manual for LRMs and some tactics book opened on Nascar page.

Would it be presumtuous to suggest this thread be pinned?

[El Bandito]

Lingerie babes wallpapers. Right where you would hang up the faction banners. I'd imagine that'd be very lore friendly. Half naked hunks for the lady pilots.

Edited by El Bandito, 12 January 2018 - 10:31 AM.

[Cy Mitchell]

A cackling Devil's head warhorn with a laugh as evil as that Jack-o-Lantern one.

Haha agreed but I could see issue coming from that

[Bud Crue]

Nachos and/or a basket of chips and salsa. We have beer, now I need something to go with it.

Also a nice danish to go with my coffee (though there ought to be an exclusive styrofoam cup of coffee and donut standing item for the Urbie K-9 and St. Ives Blues.

Sad trombone reverse warhorn and mariachi band warhorn.
