    I want a mining laser to dig up dirt and rocks. A hopper to store dirt and rocks. And a gun that shoots dirt and rocks.

    I don't know how mobile mechs will be, but if you could jump around with them or even give them jetpack support, I'd love to install a jetpack on a light-weight mech, put double shotguns on it, and jump around twitch-aiming at enemies, blasting them once, and then jumping away/over them and repeat if they aren't dead yet.

    Otherwise I would like to put medium-range grenade launchers on them and use the terrain to seek cover when needed, and occasionally pop out and launch a few grenades in the direction of enemies/an enemy, and repeat until they are death.

    I personally think that's how mechs are supposed to be, not very strategic, just awesome. Although it would be very nice if the devs managed to implement tactical potential in mech combat, which is quite a feat to pull off in a multiplayer game, from what I've seen and heard.

    Command Weapons
    Minigun: Common for most mechs.
    Salvo Missiles: Fires a missiles with a moderate level of velocity. Aiming it into the sky will have the missiles angle down as they return.
    Shark missile: Fire a single high cooldown ridiculously fast missile that has a large explosion on impact.
    Fletchet Gun: Fires a salvo of bullets in a general direction with a 45 degree radius. The shots dissipate at a certain point in the screen.
    Sticky Mine: Fire glue bullets with a timed explosive on it. Sticky mines that hit an enemy will stay on the enemy. (You can still however whack it off).

    Passive Weapon

    Autodrone: Deploys a number of drones that fire when you attack.

    I would give my mech an Orbital Targeting beacon. Because nothing says best weapon like the one that causes the mech to explode and everything else to explode that is near it. Of course I wouldn't get the mech back, but no doubt I can always keep a spare in my pocket.
