Hi,

as the AUTOREFILL checkbox for consumable modules I propose a "GRAB BY ANOTHER MECH" checkbox. This could be usefull for all modules, above all not consumables. In this way we can easily win the treasure hunt that starts at every launch with a different mech.

I'm a genius, I know!

Best Regards.

That'd be pretty useful. I almost never use modules, because a) I can't afford multiples, and because I don't want to have to move my modules from mech to mech every time I launch. I really only care about Advanced Zoom and Radar Dep, it'd be nice if I could just pin those as "always equip".

They could use a scheme where the module assignment you put in any given mech is regarded as a template, and it's automatically filled out of the modules you have when you launch.

Which is equivalent in effect to treating modules differently than other equipment, by allowing you to buy them once but assign them repeatedly.

Pretty solid idea here.

I agree whole heartedly. When editing modules, the UI says I

Owned:1
Avl.:0

When I attempt to equip it asks me "This module is equipped to another Battlemech." and provides two options:

"Purchase a new module for xx,xxx Cbills"
"Requip from another Battlemech"

then it shows the names of all the 'mechs that have a copy of that module equipped and you click a radio button to choose which one you want to take it from.

Genius. This will work even if they implement a player mech drop pool.
