One new thing you could add to the game, something that would give the mechs a bit more relevance and importance, is different mech styles. This means that the player, as an individual, could choose their mech in the equipment area.

The mech styles could have different weapons and abilities: one could have a sniper rifle for long-range engagements, another could have a sword/melee weapon and greater mobility, and another could have some kind of machine gun.

I hope you'll consider the idea I'm sharing and requesting, as I think it could greatly improve the gameplay and make matches more varied, allowing players to choose, based on the type of mech they have, whether allied or enemy. Finally, thank you for reading this recommendation, and I hope Empulse does very well.
