I kinda want the ability to customize the so called, "Nagging Norah" in the Battlemech. That lovely dame that's always chirping "Critical Hit, PPC" "Heat Level Critical" "Enemy Powerup Detected" and all that jazz.. I'm not sure if its been brought up before. I also wanted to know if maybe we could import pictures that our Mechwarriors could tape on the inside. I'm not sure if that particular example would work in the canon though, I'm not all familiar with the backstory.

I would absolutely love the one from MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries. The other MechWarrior 2 games utilized some of her voice but the start up sequence was from a different sounding voice...deeper, with less life in it....and not as 'right'. I'm not saying have that be THE voice. But having it as an option would be nice. If primitive GPS units way back in the 21st century offered multiple voices then who is to say a modern, war hardened Atlas couldn't notify you with a cockney accent.

Loved the 'out of the field' artwork in Mercs, and how each 'mech was different slightly in 'pit, but it definitely was less sim more shooter than earlier games in the series not published by activision. Ahh, Infocom we hardly knew yee.

As to the OP yes that would be cool to have an option to put in custom sounds for all your in cockpit warnings/messages.
It doesn't sound too difficult to implement, like there are only so many warnings/messages, maybe add the option in menu to put in custom ones. Just sayn'...

yes please to this idea! i think a 75yo chain smoking grandmother should be the one to tell me my mech is having heat issues. "excuse me honey *cough* were running a little hot *hack* you should stop a minute and have some soup, you look hungry, you eating enough?"

I like the idea, and let's add some fuzzy dice too... though my opinion, an Elvis bobble head would be what I want.. Go Snord's!

Yes to having an option to change the voice (most likely a drop down or selection menu of presets but hey its an idea!)

Some cosmetic changes would be sweet to (Hula Dancer, bobbleheads, fuzzy dice, some random pictures posted in the cockpit, maybe a cup holder or something) Just to add some personal feeling to it :)

I want the ability to customize my pilot's appearance. I would pay money to be able to change the pilot's gender and outfit.
