Had an idea which is probably impossible to implement but how about a sixth hanger space that you build a bot. That mech, weapons, pilot, skin goes out into games as is. If you make a weak one it fights newbies if its a killer build it fights at higher level. Maybe they can keep track of it's career kills or something. I know they have an ulterior motive in using super bots to make you feel you have to spend to beat them but thought I'd mention it anyway.
