Weird, janky, doesn't really work that well... Welcome to PGI land.
In single player, just twist left or right periodically and "admire the scenery."
They'll pop out in front of you.

PGI thought it was easier than giving a list of colors.
The lack of saving the colors is a bit of a pain.

I just get this feeling from what is there that a lot of Leopard content was dropped during development.

I recall a scene in one trailer that's no longer available where the player is following two other people on a walkway in daylight toward a building.
I suspect there was more intended to do on foot altogether.
(The building's interior looked like a bar. Remember how Russ keeps comparing MW5 to mw1? The bar was how you found out about missions and leads and hired recruits..)

Same feeling here. Core game play is great. I like the contract, salvage, and pilot skill systems. But it seems like they aimed high then had to cutout, remove, cut corners and skip polish to make the release.
I also get the feeling they never really settled on a final story line until late in development and then had to rush it. Looking at all those different implied stories through the various trailers, seems they batted a lot of ideas around and then ran out of time flesh one out well.

I may use the people as practice and get them to do a bit more than stand around, though the actual AI associated with them is what would get the animations so I can't say if Fahad or Ryana would do those things. I seriously doubt they will. But someone will.
But for any serious "human" improvements, I'm differing to someone else doing it.

Yes. Yes it is. What would be really nice would be firstly to be able to create my own merc unit logo, or at least pick from a bunch of logos and also decide the colour scheme. I want that logo to appear on my mechs. Secondly, if I take the time to pick a cammo scheme and the relevant colours, we should be able to save that combo and load it for any mech. Hopefully this is a QoL thing that's on PGI's to-do list, though I won't hold my breath given how atrocious the UI was (is?) in MWO.

Found evidence that it's more than a feeling.

That post and the one below it.
If you were wondering if Ryana ever did anything, not that's in the game files.
She literally only has idle animation 5.

This. And yet, it doesn't seem like the OpFor is as prone to circle-strafing without good reason, or making other idiot choices as much as my lancemates...
It really feels like there are two different grades of CPU pilot - those that we face are better shots and more intelligent than our lancemates...but maybe that's just me. Still, if my lance fields, say, a Hunchback, the OpFor will *always* gun for that RT, but if we see an enemy one, my lancemates spread damage like they're playing tabletop.
At the very least, I'd like the rest of my lance to obey my commands better - 'form up on me' should mean 'stay in formation, and if I back up, back up with me', not 'run up and circle-strafe with that CDA-2A and get shot by everyone else'. I just had a mission where the AI actually spawned a good distance away in front of us (Assassination), and our longish-range weapons were 50 LRM tubes and five Large Lasers vs. 20 tubes and an AC/5. I wanted to hang back and use our range advantage, but apparently my repeated commands to stay in formation weren't good enough for my Mechwarriors, who proceeded to close the distance and circle-strafe the above mentioned Cicada.

Like MWO, it only works ahead of you and displays enemies if you can physically see them.
As such the radar isn't really a radar.
