Even with FOV set at max I feel like I'm right up against the windshield in cockpits. It gives a much better perspective on distances outside, but not inside the mechs.

 

I would very much like to have a perspective from within the cockpit that feels more like I'm surrounded by the mech, rather than with just a dashboard and windshield in front of me. Set back a bit, y'know. There may be a setting in the files to change for that (maybe some kind of warping effect), but I don't know of one.

 

Kamikaze: I've wanted to slam my mech into others' since I started playing Hawken and think this would be a good way to do so. I'd like to see an item that enables a short, hard boost in the direction the mech is facing, at angles up and downward as well as horizontally.

 

Naturally, any pilot using said item would probably want a failsafe internal. The damage could be based on mech size similar to crushing damage with distance and/or speed based on same.

Essentially melee, and essentially no.

I am pretty sure if you "fall" on another mech it does damage (and gives you an the "Crushed" Service Awards).

 

The reason I say this is simply to point out that a version of the "melee damage" concept exists in the game already. (For better or for worse.)


A little link from the "old days" because it seems I lost all my street cred with the forum reboot:
