If so, what are your ideas on cost, would it be a pilot level thing, etc........

I mean yeah, i guess i'd like another slot... the problem is that most pilots would not be able to afford it for aaaaaaages. It would cause some complaining for sure. I believe just having lets say 7 bots to choose from and only 5 bots you can use every game would be a better idea (yes, this has been discussed before).

Hmm... I imagine most players would love ever more bots. Personally, I'd love an extra slot for a spare mid-range or a sniper (bloody Yamantau) without weakening my lineup of knifers.
That said, given the scaling of slot pricing, it would likely be horribly expensive (minimum 10k au, probably more like 20k-25k au). In light of the current league rewards, it would probably be something only top players (who genuinely don't need an extra edge on the rest of the player base) or pay-to-win whales would afford. Sounds like a balance mess in the making.
Limiting it to level 30 wouldn't have much effect. Anyone with boatloads of gold to buy a 6th slot is probably level 30 already.

Im thinking a backup specifically when a long range is needed, or a mid-range if you are a knifer
I was thinking some way to actually make it less than a fifth slot, or work a way to swap out the bot in the fifth slot if all else fails I guess

If it were possible, I'd pay 30-50K Au for the ability to choose from 6 bots to fill 5 battle slots.
I think it should be so expensive and only whales should be able to get them.
Now I don't coin this game, but if some pilot wants spend $200-$300 on this then let them --- and then let them spend more for silver and speedups too.
No matter how much you spend on this game, you can still compete even at the top levels with just an assortment of 5 Griffin setups --- that's an thing amazing to say at this point in the game. So let the whales spend - it funds this game that I like to play.

6 slots seems a little too much. If I were to put a price on it I would say 25,000 Gold (Au)

Count me in on the guys who would buy it. For balance reasons you would need to limit players to 5 active robots per battle, so you would effectively allow a player to choose up to 5 robots out of 6. But the ability to carry another robot, maybe a second midranger, being able to bring in 4 knifers or 2 mid rangers depending on map and battle, would be very valuable.
Guess 10k AG would be a reasonable price for that.

A good thing was if i could run 5 bot max but chose wich ones after i see the map! If dev puts in another slot i hope it will cost wsp and not gold ! Couse 5th slot is already far way to much expensive

A 6th slot is silly to me. I average around 2 minutes a bot with my 5 hanger size, so 6 bots would only promote a "zerg" type gaming experience. Instead, there should be an "active roster" of bots 3 slots larger than your hanger size where you can draft different specialties into the game. Think of those addition three spots as on call bots so you are not forced to take the same five you committed to before the match started.
Its no different thank sideboards in magic the gathering, or a 9 man roster for the pitch in Guild Ball (the best game ever)...
Edit* Just noticed this was already said. Committed the sin of forum posting. Strayed, have mercy on me, forgive me my trespasses...

Of course, that's a great idea. I'd buy 10 new 「extra friendly woman」s. 「extra friendly woman」s before butts.

No thanks. Then each game duration will be way too long.

No more than 5 droppable bots please. It's already hard to mech out the other side as a way to win the game. 6 Mechs will just result in really long games with beacon points the only way to end the game.
I really enjoy beating back waves and waves of reds at the center beacon, then charging in once the enemy forces are more depleted. 6th slot would nullify that.

Games can only last 10 minutes. The purpose of the sixth slot for many of us would to be able to toss in something that allows more flexibility. Say you are a knifed, and hit Canyon, or Springfield. This would allow you to add some range. Or if you play mid to long, toss in a knifer for DC or PP. Or just whatever and just knock down, drag out till the bitter bloody end!

I think flexibility is great as well. What I would like to see is you can choose from a pool of 6-8 bots, but only drop 5 max. Game dynamic doesn't change but you have more flexibility in case you want to bring in different 5-bot hangar depending on the map. The current setup forces you to make compromise or gamble, which is good as well. Otherwise you're always playing against opponents with best setups for the map with no weakness. It's a double edged sword.

Absolutely no. It would only benefit spenders and veterans.

Then try again until you get a map you like. There's no real need for a 6th bot.

They should absolutely do this. There's a lot more firepower now than there ever was. And a lot more maps. A 6th slot would give us more flexibility and survivability. .
But I agree with miatahead that making it too expensive benefits spenders a lot more. Too many people are struggling to get the 5th slot as is.

I agree totally on the 5th slot. Actually, I think 5000gold is stupid expensive for anything in this game.
