So the 12 trial units are littering my mech screen, I would like to have an option to filter them out.

I second this proposal... as much as I like Trial Mechs and... no, no I don't. I have my filter set to Owned Mechs... I don't own a single "trial mech" so why does it show in that filter? There should be three filters for players to choose from in the Mechlab Mech selection screen: Owned, Purchasable, Trial Mech.

What about... list view,....Sort alphabetically... Sort by weight... Sort by firepower... Sort by speed.. Sort by... Sort...

Currently the mech bay view is pretty pathetic.

We talked about this problem with about 15 People. All are thinking the same. Get the trial mechs out of our "owned" mechs!

PGI does not do common sense they don't think it makes them enough money

Agreed. Huge fan of many aspects, but the mechlab just got super cluttered.

Can't wait for this stubbornness to end. Here, I help you to start:

if(mech == trial && sort == owned) {
return null;
}

If you expect me to alter my config file to remove Trial Mechs from being listed (assuming that's possible)... you are insane... do I look like a coding magician? No... I'm a gamer... and graphics designer... html, java, and maybe some flashing coding... sure! Video game coding ;) uhhh, nope... everyone get's a "like" but you sabujo ;)

Agreed. I was already trying to find some way of getting rid of the four 'trial' mechs cluttering everything up and *BAM* now it's twelve? Has to be one of the least wanted features ever.

I really love the fact that new people get to try so many different weight classes and builds, It is really a fantastic update to help the new player experience.

But for long term players with collections it is more of a frustration than any use outside of randomly messing around with trials or when a new mech is made a trial mech.

Need an updated filter and Hero mechs need to be ranked with their buddies.

honestly at this point I cannot see PGI doing anything right the 1st time would so love to have the old system that showed "owned" units and "Trials" in their own tabs.

I don't usually agree with topics, but when I do, I agree with this one!

This should have been done in the first place. Im behind this change, I do not want to see trial mechs on my list unless I selected them..

As long as we're measuring body parts and bragging about it, let me say two things:

1.) I have more than you, so quit wagging yours around.

2.) I do notice the trial mechs in my collection and find them very annoying. I would love it if there were another tab to choose from: Owned, Purchasable, and Trial 'mechs.

allow sorting of selected mechs, like select 3-4 of your "daily Drop" mechs and just filter by that

i honestly dont notice them it wasnt meant to brag. currently working on battlemasters, firestarters and dragons i go right to those every time i want to pilot a mech.
When i change it up i usualy just pick randomly anyways or if im looking for a specific one im so used to the crappy current sorting system im numb to it lol.

yes please, put this in a "Trial mech" tab or something.

Seriously these shouldn't be cluttering up the owned tab, no one but the houses OWN the Trial Mechs anyway. They're not ours, we can't customize them, thus they do not belong in the "owned" tab.

Yeah... this sort of should have been done when they decided to go to 12 trial mechs.

I do like the trial options - it helps new players find something they like - but it is rather silly to have 12 extra, unowned mechs cluttering up my mechbay... despite it being set to "owned."
