19/19, Got enough MC to get 2 more but I'm torn because I don't want to finish spiders right now but that's the only mech that I have that isn't in a group of 3 already. So I was thinking about selling another mech but but...I gotta collect them all, to be the very best, like no one ever was.

20 bays.19 mechs and 5000 MC for additional bays.I want them all !!!

[Elizander]

Staying at 20ish for now. I realized that I do not have elites on a lot of them so working on that first. Each time I buy a new chassis I forget to level my old ones. Not enough playtime.

Some players sell mechs as soon as they've mastered the chassis and make do with just the 4 provided mech bays. Others keep every mech they buy and add enough bays to hold them all.

What strategy do you take? How many mechs and bays do you have currently?

I bought some mech bays because there are more than 4 mechs I want to be able to play.

mostly though I sell junk variants of mechs, no point keeping trash chassis wasting space in my mechlab.

I kid, I kid. I wish I had the time to rack up all that play.....stupid job, wife, and kids.

I have a wife, full time job and college ;P

I own 4 bays and 3 mechs, I would pay for more bays if the damn game didn't crash every other game.

[Grayseven]

I tend to find the one mech of a chassis I like and sell the other two after I've hit Master. This frees up bays. Unfortunately I've recently started mastering 4 different new chassis and I've had to buy more bays.

[Voidsinger]

Guess this may be a trick question,but how do you own more mechs than you have mech bays?

Unless a few people got the questions confused.

15 mechs, 15 bays. Need to get around to buying a 16th if I want to fully level up atlases.

Sitting in those mechbays right now are three Centurions (A, AL, D), three Catapults (C1, K2, A1), three Cataphracts (1X, 2X, 4X), a Raven (3L, duh), three Stalkers (3F, 5S, 5M), and two Atlases (DDC, RS). All but the atlases are elited or mastered. As you can tell, I usually don't sell mechs (the only exceptions so far being the two **** ravens), but I could see myself doing it with a chassis like a Dragon where the variants really aren't very distinct.

I've been contemplating getting some more bays and going into either Dragons or Trebuchets to get another fast mover in the stable, but haven't made up my mind for sure. And I've been meaning to finish off Atlases for a while, but haven't yet as I haven't been able to think of anything to do with a D that I can't already do with my DDC or RS.

Planning on buying Orion and Highlander. Probably won't keep three of each, just the unique variants (more quirks, less nerfs please). Hope they won't s-u-ck too bad (arm /more like but-t/ mounted weapons, number of missile tubes, engine limits, head hitbox size, cockpit clutter, field of vision, etc).

Trebuchet is a bit underwhelming, but at least XL-s are good in them. Jager at the moment seems to me just "meh" instead of Mech .

Cataphracts: 1X, 4X pale compared to the 3D (which I bought as my 4th CTF), already sold a 2X, I very rarely play them.

Waiting for the Clans/Community Warfare, if it turns out to be any good, then going to buy mostly heavies, assaults, maybe some good mediums (10 additional mech bays' worth most likely).

Also have a smurf account with the basic 4 mech bays and 1 mech (3L lol) for trying out cadet bonus and lights, but I haven't even unlock 1 basic efficiency for that Raven yet

Grinding C-Bills for modules currently.

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I only have the 4 mech bays. I get elite on a chassis then sell them to make room for the next, hoping to find something that works for me, but nothing yet. I'm hoping the Highlander does the trick, then I'll buy a couple so I can work on the Orion. Otherwise I guess I'm waiting for the clan mechs.

[Budor]

31 bays , 30 mastered (sold some) and fully fitted mechs. at least 1 form each chassi.

[Skyscream Sapphire]

18/18 right now. I like piloting new mechs that fit my play style. I don't sell mechs and have no problem buying mech bays to for new ones. As previously mentioned, bays are cheap. However, I feel no compelling need to buy mechs I don't like just for collecting's sake.

[KKRonkka]

At the moment I have 9 mechs and 9 mechbays, but enough MC to buy three more slots making it 12 mechbays.

Reason behind buying mechbays: grew tired of selling mechs in order to elite/master all three variants. I'll keep builds that are fun to play and there's room for "visitors" as well.

Almost every battlemech has a load-out Each battlemech has upgrades, mostly DHS/ENDO/FF. Almost all battlemechs has their own weapons/ammo/engines.

Its not the size of your mech garage, its how you use them.

[Huntsman]

22 mechs and 23 bays

Just something I noticed about this poll. In a couple of brackets the data is saying that some folks apparently have more mechs than mech bays. That's a neat trick.

Uhhh how can anyone have 0 to 3 mechbays when you start the game with 4....
