I would just like to point out that I'm having a blast with this game. Actual game play is very fun and the bugs I've come across so far have not been game breakers for me.

With that said, I do have a complaint about the Mechlab portion of the game. I realize that this is a beta and that there are probably a bunch of changes on the way but without actual knowledge of what they are planning this is what I would like to see.
  • Larger, Sacling or Fullscreen Mechlab Window. (Small complaint but I would like to see it anyway)
  • Get rid of the Mech image in the Loadout screen (its useless) and replace it with a full Mech Schematic that shows the full loadout of the mech, what slots are used/unused, what hard points are available/used etc. That would be much more useful that what is currently there. It may look cool but I would prefer functionality over athestics in this case.
  • An inventory window would be really nice, just so you could browse what you currently have.
  • A strip Mech feature. This one might be a little tricky as Mech Upgrades cost to remove/add to a mech.
  • Save Configurations. Once again this might be a little tricky depending upon what Mech Upgrades you already have on the Mech but it would be a huge timesaver and I think well worth it.
  • Add the ability to set the fire buttons and configuration while in the MechLab window.
  • I would really like to be able to change the name or designation of my mechs after they have been bought. That's really a minor thing but I would like to do it none the less.
  • For crying out loud PLEASE fix the socal interaction window. I would like to see some kind of notification system for when friends log on/off. Being able to poke or start a chat window with a friend that is already in a group would be handy as well. Lastly, fix the chat window bug that randomly drops the words that you have been typing. On a couple of days I've had to type and retype a message more than 4 times to get a thought across to my friends.
That's it for me. I would love to hear what else folks would like to see.

some of these like schematics should be an option that your turn on and off (i like looking at my mechs -_-), but overall i think that these would all be good for the game.

I realize that folks like looking at their Mechs (I do too -_- ) and having a button to toggle it on or off would be fine with me!
