But yeah, I have no idea why an Atlas pilot would ever put in an XL engine, much less an XL engine and explosive things in the side torsos. One of the (many) reasons that Atlases rock is that if they blow up half your mech, the remaining half of your mech can probably still blow up their mech. Why would someone want to stop being able to do this?


Exactly right. An Atlas's big thing is being very hard to kill, in return for which we're very slow. An XL engine makes us better at the thing we do worst, in return for losing the thing we do best. No deal.

Posting to +1 this, and especially to second the need for a "Rename Mech" button.
As it stands, you have to pick your mech name *before* you find out whether you're going to mess with the stock weapons mix!

Galatan, I do respect your view on not wanting/going to pay for this game.
That does not contribute to the game development, though.


Since Galatan has MC, he's contributed plenty to game development. It makes perfect sense for a Clan player to refrain from using it until the Clans show up. The 25-to-1 MC/xp conversion seems nice, but by the time you've unlocked an entire variant you don't want, it's not cheap - comparable to the cost of several repaints. (And I've not been buying repaints, because at per-mech unlocks they're way overpriced. 250 for four more colours across the board, I would pay happily. Until then... green it is.)

new and liking it!

will search for documents about the universe :)


Welcome to the BT universe then, Liku. If you're curious, there's an excellent primer to the universe for download as PDF from this page - the 'Universe guide' was written for the board game but it's just as true for MWO. (And mentions several of the mechs you'll see in use here.)
For general universe questions, a good starting point is the BT wiki at http://www.sarna.net/ (or these forums; BT fans are always glad to show off their knowledge.)

Enjoy!

You're really not the only one; I know of a few other UK players just from those people I know personally. It can feel like it though, simply because there are also so many other players - random chance in PUGs leads to a pretty broad mix.
