Self-explanatory; private servers could tweak the stats of:

    Mech health, fuel, fuel regen, walk/boost/air speed, heat, dodge cooldown, turn rate, and ability length/cooldown/strength.

    Weapon damage, reload time, heat generation, projectile speed, and AOE.

    Item number, damage, duration, and AOE.

 

 

Upon entering a server with tweaked stats, you would receive a short notice, saying something along the lines of:

 

    "This server has been tweaked, and may differ from standard online play. See Mech and Weapon info to see what has been changed"

Hawken has a dedicated fanbase/community, so it should be beneficial to all to empower it so that it can produce value for the players of Hawken, whether it be balance testing, misc. other experiments, or custom experiences that players prefer.

I think stats should stay conventional.

It would be nice if there was a custom MOTD (Message Of The Day) that we could use to convey those differences, or maybe a UI element in the garage.

You can already set damage modifiers in private servers. This can even be used as a workaround to give a player tons of health. Cool idea in general when it comes to events.

...What?

 

Good idea OP. This would make community events a lot easier to organize and implement.

It would be awesome!

Handy for events and to test out different settings.

Not something that could be easily done. As I understand it, mechs and mech stats are stored on a completely different server (hence the issue a lot of people have with syncing). Altering those would have to be done every time someone syncs.
