Hi there,
I would like to suggest into the game a new feature where players can build their favorite mech themselves from scratch.
Of course, there should be some theory of building, depending on the mech’s structure, weight, and weapons.
Example:
If I want to build and load a light mech, it will depend on the total weight and structure of my mech and its weapons.
Let’s say I build a light mech with a maximum weight of 20 tons that can fit 8 light machine guns — but I want to fit 10.
To do that, I would need to overload the structure of my mech from 20 tons to 21 or 22 tons.
This should be possible, but it would reduce my mech’s speed — or I could pay to integrate a bigger engine and stronger structure and armor to support the extra weight.
OmniPods should also be customizable. Players should be able to load whatever weapons they want, and as many as they want — but of course, there will be payble if ovearload original limits.
OmniPods should work for both Inner Sphere and Clan Mechs, and function like a pack that can be loaded with any type of weapon — the player decides which and how many.
Players should also be able to build their own OmniPods.
Each OmniPod could start empty and allow the player to load whatever they want — ballistics, missiles, lasers, and more — depending on their mech’s capacity.
So I invite MechWarrior Online to become a game where:


  • All weapons, tonnage, armor, engines, and OmniPods can be freely used.


  • Players can fit any parts they own from their mech garage into any mech, anywhere (with natural build limitations).


  • Every modification or upgrade has a cost for balance.


  • And finally, we get new weapons and new weapon types added to the game.
Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mwowarior
