I don't want to see g1 and g2 with different weapons, but I want
1) make it different, like a tuning (like HP vs speed, or something else, like higher walking speed, less airspeed)
or
2) the same stats but different internals and maybe items loadout (like g1 brawler have orblord, g2 brawler have deflectors+fusor)
or
3) make all g1 mech free, and allow player play at any g1 mech from start. And upgrade items/internals on g1.
Let g2 be a straight upgrade, and you need some grind and HC to buy it, and also spent time to upgrade it (or just buy fully upgraded for MC)
To be honest, I want see 3 variant, to allow all players play on mech which he like, or try every mech.
Also, if we got some new conception with more clearly mech roles for every mech, I want allow people to try it all, and understand why they need this or this mech in teamplay.
Also, I want see 2A-2B-2C system. For moar role teamplay, and prevent any mech stacking. :P
