- Allow the mechs themselves to be named by the players, with these names displayed to other players. Obviously, we have our usernames, but some of us wouldn't mind a mech naming option. (We actually already kind of can; we're just the only ones who ever see it.) The killmessage across the middle could probably accommodate this fairly simply once the guts of it are hooked up - "Mechname (Pilotname) eliminated", "DOWNED by Mechname (Pilotname) [Weapon]", etc. This also gives you a bit of a tactical hint as to when a player switches mechs, which is good for upper-level play.
- Allow us to apply a decal to the mech - kind of signifying it with a "logo." Think of it like sprays in TF2; the user could upload a decal (probably a PNG image since we'd want alpha channel support, 256x256 or maybe 512x512 if you want to be generous_) and it could get applied (depending on the type of mech) to the mech's shoulders, or chassis, or whatever.
Two extremely silly, pointless, purely cosmetic, but awesome suggestions on mechs.

Showing a few stats about the mech that killed you, including its name, would be great. I can imagine custom decals not being a free item, but I'd like to see them either way.

Also it would be nice to buy some skins that allow you to change the color of it aside from the pattern changes already.

Oh, and I like your idea Night, Cockpit window tint colors sounds pretty interesting as well.
Hmmm, maybe you can be able to add multiple decals instead of one_ Maybe some preset decals for the people that just want something simple_

But stiil knowing what type of mech killed you is good for beginners.
So: Mechname (pilotname) {infiltrator}
No need to be on the killmessage, just at the scoreboard.
Wouldn't hurt

As for decals, it would be cool to have an option for it be free, where it can only be placed on a pre-determined spot on the mech. Paying permanently unlocks the option to place the decal where ever you wish or on other pre-determined areas. Changing the decal location should be something you can do whenever you wish after you pay once.
EDIT: It would be a per-chassis thing, that is, you pay for it on your assault and can change it as much as you want on assault, but have to pay again to change sharpshooter.

Also, obviously since it's cosmetics, a small fee should no doubt be charged for it.
