True. But one can dream.

[Red squirrel]

I voted yes - but basically because I want to have PvE game modes.
I would not advocate vehicles and aircraft as a player option at this point.

Added some more questions!

[Inveramsay]

I want some smaller npc controlled planes, helicopters and tanks that wage war as well. I would also love some turrets around the base for assault

[Bluescuba]

I voted Yes, No, No

I hate those you cannot discuss anything because first the netcode needs to be fixed arguments.
It is just obvious that stuff like this will not happen within the year.
But while we wait for the next patch let us dream what this game could/should become.

So OP - dream on I am with you

[Khobai]

There should be a MW:LL style gamemode where you can pilot any mech, vehicle, or aero you want and if you die your team loses tickets equivalent to the value of whatever you were piloting (bigger things lose more tickets than smaller things).

[Hyperdrive]

I would give PGI as much money as I could if they would bring campaign mode to this game. I would LOVE being able to move up in the ranks in a virtual world and utilize my own custom mech in a story mode of some sort.

So yes, tanks, pve mode, campaign mode, anything to make a story line that we could play to liven up the games mediocre pvp.

This game could be the worlds best game if it had both pve, and pvp. So many players enjoyed the old mechwarrior games before pvp was introduced.

[WolvesX]

Don't need a campain though, Coop or PvE!

[ShadowRonin]

I would only want tanks if we could pick them up and hit mechs with the tanks.

[Bishop Steiner]

Yeah, I would, eventually love to see Armor, Air Cav, Aerospace, and even Infantry appear (What would the clans be without elementals?).

But the priority level would be low, IMO.

First I want to see them stop pumping out ANY new Product, go back to basics in house, and test old balance all the core tech, the 3025 non Star League tech stuff, and get that RIGHT (Along with Netcode and Matchmaking) THEN< balance the advanced tech toys against such PROPERLY, and THEN, the CLANs, and then as an expansion pack, bring in Armor, then one for Air, and lastly infantry forces.

It certainly would not detract from player experience, and could only add, but only IF they have the core mechanics, physics and balance sorted first. They are all key elements of the Battletech universe.

I'd even enjoy having them introduced initially as AI elements operating on both sides in conjunction with the Player Mech drops.

[Sean von Steinike]

Only as an adjunct to the PvP game. NPC tanks, infantry, or planes that a mission commander can give general orders to; move there, defend here, attack this area.

[Moonsavage]

Oh yes. In fact if they linked this game to WoT, we could blow them up too.

[Kobold]

I vote yes, but only as AI / "summoned" / "pet" units. Let commanders call for tank support. Let clanners carry elementals on their omnimechs.

[Khan Reaper]

I was thinking about adding this as a suggestion, but figured they knew about it already. I'm for tanks and aerospace fighters, but only as a "killstreak" or "resource" driven type. By "killstreak" I mean, based on performance, so obviously it wouldn't be kills, but score maybe? By "resource" I mean maybe it's something you collect via Conquer modes capture points and then spend to call in AI combat forces.

I don't think they should be anything too damaging. They should be easily destroyed by a single player if they come across them alone.

[Nik Van Rhijn]

As Joseph said, the Alacorn http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Alacorn would be nice

[Malteser]

PvE really?

AI controlled mechs?

AI usually sucks at a lot of things, e.g. pathfinding, on the other hand it can perfectly calculate the lead on any target, making it so good, it has to intentionally miss the mark.
I don't want fight stupid aimbots ... I want to fight equals: other people that can think, adapt and give me a challenge.

(And don't tell me the lie that AI worked well in other games )

Yes,

but imagine your mission is to pretect a NPC convoy. =)

[Tickdoff Tank]

I would like to see them (if done right) but I would not suggest holding your breath untill they are added.

Impossible! It's not just that I have to protect it from the enemy, I also have to protect it from itself
