Instead of random "hey how cool is it" topics let's make one good, where you say what you like most in recent patch.
Make only points. Do not comment nor complain

Top 5 things you hate about v.0.3.0

My is in random order

• ASF - they are actually flying tanks now! Finally it's in the way it should be  I hated last version where my 100 000 cbills ASF could be shot down by cheapest tank in few seconds. it was ridiculous.
• New radar - I used to hate it in early alpha stages, but the one we have now? Brilliant
• Chat system! It WORKS! 
• New Jump Jets - no more n00bs poptarting and people using JJs at any occasion!
• ERPPC Loki - huge damage, stealth ability... nothing more to ask for 
• Added survivability - not a big difference comparing to last version, but enough to make battles more epic and kills rewarding:)
• Dedicated BA role - now it's rewarding. Not like it used to be.
• Autocannons! They require skill to make lots of damage, not just single lucky shot stripping of half armor away from light mech!
• Legging and armor rebalanced in general - Or people changed their tactic or legging become nearly non-existent! I also love that now armor difference between lightest and heaviest Mech is greater, making Assaults a usable assets, not just target practice as it used to be

[Snowball]

New Radar
Remembers Weapon Groupings
MADCAT B GOT MORE LASERS
Dedicated BA fapping rocks
Flamers are super deadly
JJ rework (love the horizontal speed)
Score tracker is a nice touch
Speeds are accurate
Thunder Rift is gorgeous
New Extremity = Favorite map

[Rally]

What I like the most:

• the new faster Gauss rifle
• the new PPC effect (but I don't like that PPCs travel slower now, hitting a moving target at range has pretty much become random)
• the snowstorm on Frostbite
• the new nightvision
• Loki-A, my new favorite mech now
• it remembers weapon groupings, most of the time anyway

[Virt]

More realistic radar.
Clever jumpjet shake to make poptarding harder.
Betty sounds.
Armour and survivability.

[LordHack]

Combat pacing improved (while good for lots of reasons, it is also a little more forgiving for new players)

New radar

Mirage (so far, I think its design is just win......)

New Extremity

Weapon Groupings recall (so convenient)

Mech reworks/roles

Incoming damage seems to better register and sounds are good

New map information/integration is great

Lower ASF is both useful and good learning plarform

Install package

[DFDelta]

1. New Radar. Works great, and I finally feel like I am doing something usefull when scouting in my Owens.
2. Weapon setup is remembered.
3. BA is a lot of fun now 
4. I can actually hit stuff in a Hawkmoth Prime
5. AA-Mechs (<3 Holly C, take that you Aerojocks)
6. Poptarding now takes skill, and because you can only shoot on the way down you actually have to give your victim a chance to fight back.
7. Uziel Prime. Hell yeah.
8. New Extremity.
9. Betty <3
10. AMS turrets in base.

[Shivapt]

New Autocannons working as they should - higher damage, quick refire, not one HUUUGE shell.
New Radar - works more like "real life".
Only carrying ONE BA weapon with you in a vehicle.
Crouching mechs usable vs Aerofighters
New maps
Less mechs with ECM - especially the bigger ones
Much more armor on the Assaults than on the lights - I have taken an atlas vs 6 light mechs and killed 4 before going down in flames
New, toned down mech variants
Mechs FEEL different - a puma FEELS a lot more fragile than a cougar, for example.

[~SJ~KorbinWimmer]

In no particular order:

Betty sounds... so awesome

BA as a dedicated role now.... nice to see useful BA's as opposed to just annoying

Mech pivoting for AA

Aero survivability (Hint for AA Aim for the wings)

New maps (Thunder Rift is awesome)

tanks feel tanky .... idk if tank armor was upped at all or if it was just dmg lowered.

the new damage system makes battles last longer

New mechs of course

Radar

New PPC effect... I knew it!!

AC actually auto

[CHHš Myria]

1. OMGYAY the mechs SAVE our weapon-slot assignments now~that one rubs me in all the right places~<3 lol

2. You fixed the Enter-keystroke from rebinding the weapon assignments when using it to x-fer cbills and chat~<3

3. More maps the servers will cycle! More FUN!

4. More mechs/variants that carry MRMs. MRM's YAY!

5. Servers should have a sign: "WARNING: ENTERING WARZONE!" =3 Players getting all freaky-deaky and clashing with the enemy and no more of the usual 1 side getting gun-shy and hole'ing up in their base while the winning side just sets up a camp outside!

6. I like playing marshes without the Night-vision whenever i don't need it~<3

7. Base/Hanger LT Automated AMS Defenses. Ohhhh that will cure me of many a migraine.

8. My beloved Catapult B~<3

9. Hellbringer (fix the name!) is a badass strutting his stuff on the field. 

10. I actually have much more reason to pilot APC's! Team Playah~lol :3

[(TLL)CapperDeluxe]

so many things to like, but the jump jet updates definitely made a big difference in a good way. More manuverable with less ability to accurately pop tart. Its just so perfect I hope Mektek can do something similar for Mechwarrior 4

[HOUND]

*new radar effects ECM/BAP/BHP on missiles- in my mind the one thing that makes MW more than a munted button smoosher.
*LRM sounds (didn't really hear them @ first)
*SA_Thunder Rift
*Sa_Mirage
*BA's are dangerous thanks to the MBL
*AC/5's (woot), A/C's in general (except perhaps we could do with more warning before overheating - audio or visual)
*Overall game quality - just makes me feel warm inside
*jumpjet shake (awesome, but not something one couldn't learn to get used to eg. requires skill)
*sexy fonts
*Sell back asset feature - GTA Twycross her we come!!!

A big thankyou to all involved.

[Reiel]

ASF flight is  super fun now, on Sandblasted and Mirage I can get some great fights.
New radar works wonders.
Hell, I like everything except what I excluded from my Dislike post.

[Deathbane]

1: Saves my configs for my poor 3 button mouse.

2:LRM nerf, and the ecm passive things that go with it. Lrms are still highly damaging, and can fired at massive range, so i dont see hwy people are complaining about their lack of usefulness. I was racking up kills on frostbite with them, and it makes narcs een more essential.

3:longtom nerf, but its still useful! As a game mode proved last night.

4: ASF are actuallly useful now, and AA feels more cbt and appropriate. Let the ASF moaning commence!

5: Dedicated battle armour weapons. Now battlearmour that are armed correctly coupled with an APC are a threat, and can be a legitamate unit to take, but are still just as vunerable, if not more vunerable thanks to srms hitting them than version 0.2.

6: THe uziel, minus the headaches.

7: The Hellbringer. This mech is the clans answer to the warhammer, and is totally awesome. My new mech, and will keep me busy until the summoner arrives.

8: New betty voices, and sound effects in general. Feels like im playing a mechwarrior game now, atmosphere wise.

9:Challenging maps and night vision: speaks for itself, i love the chaos created by the blizzards and dark nights. I feel the tod should be swapped around so it starts in the day, but i LOVE the feel of the new maps.

10: The chat system!

But yes, overall, very pleased with 0.3.
