I realize full coop is not really in the cards at this point for the campaign, but my group has found a work around by having the "lance leader" host and live-stream the game and then having the other three players of the lance tell where to move their designated mechs. The problem we've noticed so far is that without any proper map grid reference, it can be difficult to communicate to the host where a mech should go.
This could be easily alleviated by including the option to have grid numbers on the map (similar to Battletech map sheets). For example, it would be easier to say "move my mech to grid 0437 and face north" instead of "move my mech over to the first tree on the right... no the other one".
Certainly, it could be toggled off by default so as not to be an eye-sore for people who don't need it. Is there any possibility of this being a thing? Surely, this wouldn't be difficult to add, right? Think of all the old school Battletech players who would love this to stream and play with their friends!
Obviously, if we could have the option for other players to join a battle and assume direct control of mechs assigned by the host, that would be preferred (I think similar to how the current Total War series does it would suffice), but I realize that may be asking a bit much at this point.
