If they implement 6, I'd be for it if it were virtual, i.e., you can only use 5 but have access to 6. That would actually be pretty sweet. I'd even pay 10k gold for it.

Nope. Extra slots will cause this game to be less strategic than it already is with all these buffs implemented. Plus, I do not want to see 6x Lancelot hangars. There are already too many 5x Lance hangars. No more are needed.

10 slots but you can still only use 5 Hope this is sarcasm! seems to be useless, but 10 slots means you can be more equipped for battle. 1 beacon runner, 1 sniper, 2 midrange support, 2 hit and run bots, and 4 brawlers. you can use 5 of those in one battle, but you can be more equipped for different battles.

No, 10 hangar slots will be 10x Lancelots in the higher tiers.

But randomness is what makes this game fun. And why do you all want to use specific bots for specific maps? Each bot should be suitable for each map.

Bcause that's a good way to lose non Au players.It will be too expensive to buy.And will make the game pay-to-win.

6 would be awesome.
another thought would be to have a staging room before each battle, where you find out which map you're going to fight on, and they let you choose your 5 bots.

So a sniper is as good on yamentau as on the moon or any other close range map? Depends on how both teams are playing. I used my Treb/Gekko x2/Molot Leo in the Moon map to defend my team's spawn side from jumping Griffins and light bots. Silver league battles allow more diverse gameplay, obviously.

I would disagree a bit with the idea that 10 slots would mean 10 Lances - if you can only use 5 at a time this would greatly limit your alternatives and be a weaker hanger. I would love to have more options to use to match the conditions of the battle. With five slots only I have to choose between several nice builds to fill the the last 1-2 slots. With 10 slots I could occasionally use my Aphid Gep or Gekko Patton without significantly limiting my output on unfavorable maps.
However, I voted for class restrictions. Right now many light and medium robots are sitting unused gathering dust. I can't remember the last time I piloted my Boa or my Gep in battle. I think it would really open up a lot of possibilities if you could use three lights or two mediums for each heavy. It would probably have to be set up around a tonnage limit, as some lights (i.e. Gareth, Stalker) and mediums (i.e. Galahad, Carnage) are better than others and should count for more.

Just to expand on the idea of a hanger based on tonnage, here's a sample breakdown: 200 ton limit 20 tons - Cossack, Destrier, Schutze 30 tons - Stalker, Gareth, Gep, Jesse 40 tons - Patton, Vityaz, Golem, Boa 50 tons - Galahad, Rog, Carnage, Doc, Fujin 60 tons - Griffin, Natasha, Leo, Rhino 70 tons - Lance, Fury, Butch, Raijin
You can pick any combination of bots up to a limit of 200 tons. That means you could field 10 Cossacks to bounce around to cause havoc, a pair of Lances & a Rhino if you wanted to go really heavy, three Griffs & a Cossack for mobility, 4 Galahads for versatility, etc... Pix would probably need to re-balance the HP and speed a bit to keep some combinations from being OP, but this would make many light and medium bots relevant again in higher tiers, and would certainly make for more entertaining fights.
Edit: The more I think about this the more I like it. Tonnage limit would really need to be about 250 tons to get a decent hanger, and I think you would want to limit total slots to 10. A 250 ton limit could give you quite a few possibilities:
2 Griffs, 2 Rogs, and a Gareth for mobility 3 Lances and a Boa for tanky toughness 8 Stalker/Gareth/Geps for ultimate chaos
I think this would help to fight the trend towards a limited meta.

I'm down with 5 slots and a sidebar. The ability to switch out one bot from your inactive hanger during match countdown.

Yeah this has been tossed around before and I also would be in favor of it. 10K gold is steep for it though. If it was a true 6th hot slot then 10K, but a ready slot I'd pay 5k for.

Frankly, I think bad players need more slots and the ability to switch bots during the countdown. If you can't play with what's in your hangar on every map, you need to practice with those bots.

This...is actually a really good idea. Well thought out. Not sure if pix wants to restrict the amount of 5000gold bots that are bought for each hangar though.

I vote 3 bots and to shorten games. Make the game more casual. This is a cell phone game! This is how you draw in new blood.
I also think they need alternate game modes. Like a nonstop battlefield where new players join to fill a void.
Or 3 bot mode. Or 1 bot deathmatch mode.

6 slot hanger but 5 bot mech out is fine. Play 10 mins every battle is too long and boring if 6 bots mech out. Most people can last for the whole match with 5 bots, as long as you know how to love your bots.

I'd worry that 6 slots would make mech-out too difficult, but I don't hate the idea.
Having additional slots but only getting to use 5 per battle sounds great. Would make it a lot easier to use bots that only excel on open-space maps without it hurting you when you go to the moon. Would also make it easier to do quests without having to change up your whole hangar as much using the terrible user interface. This seems like an easy solution to allow for greater map specialization and more diverse hangars.

For someone who's only had a little experience with the beginning stages, you sure hold a lot of opinions on how people should play the game. To put it bluntly, it seems to me you just don't know what you're talking about.
