As echoed by previous posters, I would like the option to put either either throttle or zoom on the mousewheel.

I would also like to be able to identify my friends who I launched with more easily, either through a different icon above them and on the minimap, or a slightly different colour.

Cheers,

Agreed on the identification with colors (maybe a color selector in the options panel, that allow us to choose wich color for UI elements, like ennemies, teammates, members of the group, sub-groups, etc.), like in commons FPS when you could change the shape and color of your crosshair.

For the mousewheel, I believe its already possible : mousewheel click to zoom, mw up to trottle forward, mw down to backward ?

Yes you can middle click to zoom, but I would like to be able to scroll up to zoom in and scroll down to zoom out, rather than cycling through the 3 zoom levels. AFAIK it is not possible to assign the throttle to the mousewheel, but perhaps I'm missing something.

Another tweak I would like to see is damage recieved added to the new post-kill and post-game stats.

One final thing, and I'm sure this is obvious and you're working on it, I'd like the option to launch into an empty server to test out weapons or introduce someone to the game, the learning curve on MWO is super steep.

You can use the mousewheel for most anything if you edit your user.cfg file:

The empty server thing you mention is on the horizon. Eventually they're introducing a lobby system that will provide all the functionality you seek. Patience, this game is still very young.

And the abbreviation for captain is "CPT" by the way. ;)
