Our upgrades cost a lot of money, ludicrous amounts. It's just assumed we have access to the factory. Or do you want to install some kind of schedule system where you can only change armor types on Tuesdays, heatsink types on Fridays, and structure on every 3rd Sunday of the month?
The entire second section of your comment makes literally no sense. So somehow, putting PPCs on a catapult are okay, but Gauss isn't? What arbitrary system is this?
There really is no reason for that.
Other than that, I am still unchanged on my position that it changes, or addresses no real problems in MWO, to begin with.
The only "problem" sized hardpoints address is "I don't like the set up that person is using on their mech", or "That's not how I think that mech should be run".
Bottom line is: I can have my Atlas run with an XL 400, TSM, supercharger, MASC, JJs, a Sword, and shield, with two nipple LLs, or PPCs, and it would still be an Atlas.
The thing is that you want to play Robocraft, and some of us want to play Battletech.
Did you miss part that there is just very few custom meks in whole Galaxy? So arguing about lore is very missed, as the thing that you really want is Robocraft.
You answered yourself already as well.

But of course is much too late for such a revolution regarding mech lab. Mistake was taken at the very beginning and probably can`t be undone at this state. It would give people a reason to own more meks, resolving in better financial success of game, not to mention just better more diverse game. But we got what we got now.
So our only salvation from this Full Custom thing is Stock Mode, that I believe is still possible.
If we will have Stock Mode, would be impossible for me to care less about your happy Full Custom.
That thing, that you call Atlas would not be an Atlas, but you always can have Atlas skin in MWO.
To portrait maybe better, you can have what ever mek with exactly same load out as in your example, just with different skin and call it what ever you wish. So you take Berserker give it exactly same load as your "Atlas" and what you will have at the end? You really think that you will have Atlas and Berserker?
