Aside from that, it would make it possible to add much harder enemies to the game for players who have capped out, or even people who haven't yet but would like a challenge.
You could even place a spawn cap on mechs to keep them from being abused. For instance, a battle area has a cap of three mechs, so until someone goes down and their mount is in need of repair others are unable to spawn theirs.
Four man co-ops could have a limit of one mech, etc., etc.
There could also be a stat tree geared toward mech users to make thing even more interesting.
Just a thought.
If anyone else has ideas to add to the mix, I'd love to hear em.
