A feature suggestion to allow individual mechwarriors to put a mech they are not using into the Unit's Inventory. The mech is not available through the owner's mechbays as long as it is designated a unit mech, but can only be used by any one pilot in the unit, for either CW or public drops via the Trial Mechs menu.

The owner can pull the mech from unit inventory at any time. If another unit pilot is still using it, that pilot will have to pick a new mech after they finish their match. No pilot can edit or modify a mech while it is in the unit hanger. The mech cannot contain any consumables that cost MC. Consumables which cost C-Bills will be pulled from the unit's coffers if set to auto-replenish.

A unit would start with a certain number of unit mechbays (and be able to purchase more). This would help units train new players, especially when specific Trial mechs are not always available.

Pretty good idea actually, so long as the unit mech can not be modified by any other player except for its owner, as you stated in your proposal, then that would be cool.

Only thing I'd change is any CBill consumable set to auto refresh should come out of the pocket of the pilot using it, not the unit coffer.

Also, what I would add is a pilot cannot submit more than 2 equipped mechs to the unit mechbay. But that's just my opinion.
