Hey, gang. I've been playing for three or so weeks now and I've fallen in love with the Raven. I used to hate it, too. But when I play, I had a few little ideas and requests pop up in my head.

Zoom. Can we make it so we have a zoom out and zoom in button seperate for camera zoom? Many times I was frustrated because scrolling forward with the mouse wheel doesn't zoom in and scrolling back doesn't zoom back out. It'd be more precise and less clunky.

Crouch. Mechs can crouch. They go to ground and take cover where they normally can't. Or the little ones hide in deep enough waters. They had this in 4, can't remember if it was in the others, but a few times I have said aloud, "If only I could hide in this river..."

Role icons. In World of Tanks, they had the different class of tanks above them when you looked at them. TD, Heavy, Light, Mediun, and Artillery. Suppose we can get more specialized ones? See at a glance who's packing an all-missile heavy, or a laser-oriented, close range brawler. I keep telling people I'm going to scout, but maybe a little eyeball on my readout when I'm looked it will do a much more interesting job.

NPC's. Let's have a few power-ups and special abilities that command mechs can do where they summon a tank or an infantry squad. They load the actual reinforcement through the mech bay, and during the fight they have these dudes that follow them or are dropped somewhere on the battlefield. Just an idea.

Store receipts. I hate coming back from a match and not seeing the winnings/repairs analysis at the end of a purchase. There needs to be a receipt of some kind so I can actually equate what ever things I need to look over again. Many a time I have come back to wonder how well my other mech fared in its match.

Aesthetic fluff! I so desperately want to attach a little radar dish, more antennae, and perhaps some sort of ocular dome on my Raven. I'm a scout and EW platform. I want to look it! Maybe we can get an allotment of bits and doodaps and slap them on our mechs Spore-style so we can get that sense of uniqueness that we want from mechwarrior! Why else do we do fanart of this game? To give visual representation of 'our' mechs.

Thank you!
