What are peoples thoughts on test driving mechs be4 committing to buying them? Would you pay MC or CB? Maybe 24 hour test drive. I dont know. All I know Is I have bought a lot of mechs did not like them and sale them back for penny's on the millions.

I know you can choose form 4 basic mech to try, but you cant change out the equipment to really get a feel for what it can do.

just a thought.

Unlimited!

Trolling aside... Trial Mechs are your test drive platforms, no charge to use them. It's half of the reason that they exist in the first place.

...was not that good. At least that is what I heard. I really enjoyed Test Drive 5 on the Playstation

Yeah, that's kinda what Trial mechs are for.

A trial system with a 24hour cooldown simular to Planetside 2 wouldnt be a bad idea. I think it's something like activating the trial lets you use said item for 30mins and puts it on a 24hour cd.

Agree with the trial mechs idea but I don't think we have access to enough of them at one time (I'd say 6 maybe) and they don't cycle as often as I'd like. Dunno if others feel the same way or it's just me.

How about you get a "Test Drive" button in the "Buy Mech" Info box for the given mech, and can take it for a one-time spin in the testing grounds for 1000-10000 CBills? (of course, you can click that button and repeat the test drive until you run out of money)

You'd at least get an idea of how the mech feels, how the weapons installed work out, etc. - nice for newbies, too, who don't know what mech to buy as their first.
