I want to see different cockpits either for each mech or for each chasis. This would help with realism I think.

[bacon_avenger]

Would love to see this request from way back in alpha/beta be fulfilled.

[Lioot]

I agree, something like the Infiltrator should remain the same while others like the Raider should change to how the chassis? face? actually looks

[-Tj-]

Gimme my pre-Ascension cockpit back plz. Mix those with the current cockpit and you'll have 6 right there. ;)

I WANT A NEW CUSTOMIZABLE COCKPIT AND SOME MORE ANIME NOW!!!!! XD HEHEE

[torc]

Yes please.... give a different cockpit for different chassis that we PURCHASE long time ago....this is a real shame...we had never seen any of those features completed in the past 3 years...it's time to make it.

 

You know...do you want a particular cockpit? well BUY the chassis for you mech with you precious cockpit :

 

Player happy, and you make moneys! Very easy ;)

[Nov8tr]

Put me onboard for more cockpits including the old one. I want the one I had back in closed beta!

[VYR3]

give me the old HUD/cockpit back first, then lets make some awesome new cockpits.

 

also, community UI modding would be pretty cool, I'd love to use some of the old community made HUDs.

I recall test-driving the Scout Mech and noticed that while the cockpit seemed a little different at first, it was just scaled down.  If players can purchase different chassis, legs, arms and torsos for their mechs, I don't see why cockpits should be a problem.  I mean you can already adjust some aspects of the HUD and internal appearance.

It is definitely not an issue - it is just a matter of creating more of them. Currently, there are only 3 mech interiors (one for each class). However, putting this in place will require a bunch of modeling, texturing, debugging, adding on to the current code for a cockpit purchasing system, and extending the menu system to include this new section. It's a good bit of work, so if they do implement it, I would expect it too terribly soon.

Just to be cleat : HUD and Gui have their topic... we're talking about COCKPIT MODELS that should reflects the chassis shape.

 

If you want That feature finally implemented, please contribute to the discussion.

Yes this. Many this.

I like this idea. One thing to keep in mind while creating new cockpits is how much screen space is taken up by each cockpit. The screen space taken should be approximately equal for each one. I reckon it may be difficult to design new cockpits on isolation from the rest of the HUD.

I'm sure they can keep screen space the same across the board. Custom HUDs could cure some of this as well. That way they could design cool stuff and we can configure around it.

More different cockpits = good

[Pelanthoris]

Totally. Different chassis should reflect to the cockpit. Huge amount of work with no pay-back as people own the chassis already though.

 

Slightly related (and newer going to happen), I would love to have different chassis restricted to certain mechs. I just hate SS with bruiser bodies. But again, people own them already

[BaronSaturday]

So I think the consensus stands that we need more cockpits. Whether they be tied to the mech, chasis, or be purchaseable otherwise is the question that remains.

[Rahr12341]

This would be awesome I would pay for a good looking  cockpit. 

 

[Superkamikazee]

I believe this has been requested several times over the years. I'd love to see some different cockpits, but it's probably not too high on the priority list. 

[Volgraza]

If they take Junk parts and build Mechs it would stand to reason that some pilots would want Cockpits with their own style. That would be really cool.
