Please tell me where I can see the engine I have fitted to each of my Mechs ... and that I don't have to select each Mech, then go to its full loadout screen?

I have more than 100 Mechs to look through. Given we're on the 3rd iteration of the Mech Lab, I am hoping PGI have by now given us an easier way to review our mounted engines.

sorry but the only way I know is to go into the Mechlab and look, while it is easy to find what engine a specific Mech is using, it is not exactly quick when you have to look through 100+ Mechs

*sob*

You'e kidding me.

How hard would it have been to add Engine details to the details panel that pops up when you select a Mech in your Inventory?!

Fairly easy to simply do it in your head.

71 kph after tweak is a 180 at 45 tons, 200 at 50, 260 at 65, etc.

Just take the fraction of the listed speed in inventory view and compare it to the next higher or lower standard speed for that weight and estimate as a percentage over or under. So obviously a 270 will be only slightly slower than a 275 at most weights.

It works pretty well unless you really need to know what Atlas has a 330 vs. 335 in a hurry.

Go to mechlab, select your mech, make sure you are on "Loadout" (expanded view if possible but it works just as well in column)and you can see the engine. Now click "Select Mech" to go to the next chassis and it will return the same view. Not too hard I guess. Let's see what the next UI upgrade does :)

One player posted (don't remember who) that they put the engine in the custom name. That way they can find it easier.

But I feel your pain, especially with the one 300XL engine I own. I think a third of my mechs share it.
