Does anyone else think it would be cool if you could customize the inside of your mechs cockpits? I know it wouldn't matter at all in the scheme of things but it'd be a nice touch to be able to have that hola girl or some dice in the cockpit to kind of give it more of a "YOUR mech feel."

You guys know what I mean?

The idea is excellent.

You could go completely Gabe Newell on it and hatify it by providing all types of bling as a paid service. A bubble head Urban Mech! Yes please!

On a more, hmm, serious note however: being able to add an image as a picture inside your cockpit for your own viewing pleasure would be a nifty feature indeed.

I like this idea too, i really don't like the gritty (rusty? maybe?) cockpits...

Although it's been noted elsewhere: I would love to be able to read more in the cockpit. Perhaps this could be handled by being able to cycle through panel views during quiet moments (tens of seconds). Being able to get a better feel of heat sinks and damage would be grand.
Also, I would love to be able to place the enemy damage details more centrally on the cockpit. I, totally, accept that Mechwarrior is science-fantasy and that the cockpit is not a HUD; however, being able to drag and drop the readout screens around would be marvellous. Perhaps a module addition could enable this?
