There are a alot of things us Pilots wish to have in MWO.
One of the ideas I have been thinking about is the option
To Select (at least) 2 maps that you don't want to show up
In your matches. I know this could "destroy" Matchmaking
But I don't think it would be that bad. There are just some maps
I don't want to play. The option to select 2 of them to not show up
Would be nice.

Another thing. MRMs. I have never been really into them. I'm
More of an SRM type of pilot. Do you guys like MRMs?

I'm running a Hellspawn 8p 2 energy 5 missile Hardpoints
And it comes stock with LRMs and Er mediums.
Just looking for some good builds.
2 Er mediums 4 Srm 6 is good.
Or if you like LRMs then just keep it stock.
Then I tried mrm 30 on it and it wasn't that great.

Idk. One of those nights scratching my head trying to make
A good build.

The game use to have hard mode selection where you could choose what game type you wanted and exclude the others. My two never to be done again wishes are 1. Un do the rescale of all light mechs. 2. Bring back the ui 1.0's mech ready grid instead of just more tabs-filters in the ui now.

As for that mech's builds it has identical hard points to the Catapult C4 with an extra missile port and rt E ports instead of the C4's ct E ports. Run a mix of lrm,srm and mls to start. HSN-8PC4Mini

Go full splat with it srms,mrms or ssrms. I find mrms to be awful in up close fights. I choose srms for my missile in the face punching. During events or night of lots of lights you can go ssrm light hunter. Other times you might go sniper with two er lls and srms or lrm 5's mixed with snub ppcs. Just go mad scientist and come up with your own weapon combos.

My favourite maps are Alpine Peaks, Terra Therma, and Forest Colony. I suspect those rank pretty high on people's 'never want to play' list... so I'd say I'm selfishly and firmly against the idea of a map veto

I'd also always veto HPG and Frozen City; I hate those maps... maps that apparently people like to play on. Argh!

I've found MRM's breathed some new life into mechs I used to have no ideas for. I think the St. Ives Blue would be a top contender for the game's absolute worst mech... but MRM's have brought it back to at least some level of contention. Not good for kills, but sandblasting with an MRM40 I can get some consistent 300-400 dmg matches, with the occasional 600-700 dmg match if no one looks at me (pretty big *if*).

I don't own any Hellspawns, tho the Paralyzer (Hellspawn hero) has piqued my interest. I haven't seen very many, and am curious if it is XL friendly.

Well I don't really support map filtering I could stand never seeing tourmaline or hpg again, and I'd love to see terrible therma and forest colonoscopy more

I think map strikeout would be a better thing. It often happens that I vote for the map I want, then another one wins the vote but I would actually be okay with any other map but this.
