I am wondering whether part of PGI's design might be to deliberately incent people to buy more decks - some for their Clan Mechs, some for their IS decks - by causing constant switching and not adding time to the pre-match lobby.
I can't work out why else they can't just change the timer from 1 minute to 3 minutes.
I think the storyline idea is interesting, but needs to be significantly beefed up and made meaningful.
For example, if a Steiner planet gets taken, let the victors raid the Atlas storage facility and buy Atlases at a 50% discount. If the Steiners defend it, give them a special banner, some extra LP and a kiss on the cheek by Melissa Steiner.
Or something.
The conflict should be promoted like an event, with a splash graphic, and awards for best pilots ("Hero of Heriscles" or "Defender of Duncicle".
Also: introduce unique planetary conditions and drop weights.
Stop App, you're making it sound too easy to fix this game.. it can't be that easy.. not after so many years of bad decision making.
