Currently if you have an engine that won't fit in a mech due to engine limitations, it won't be displayed in your list of owned engines.

For example, I only own one mech at any point and when I switched from the CTF-3D to the CTF-4X, my XL280 is not listed and I cannot access it to sell it. However, my AC20s are listed despite them taking up too many slots to ever be mounted on my CTF-4X.

PGI, can we have the ability to see all of our equipment listed and the option to sell it please, regardless of 'limitations'.

Yep. Quite stupid that this hasn't been addressed yet.

That's a good point I hadn't thought about, they should just be in red like everything else you can't equip.

I hope so. It is annoying that I can't access my assets. This is definitely an issue that effects free players more and I hope that that fact, is not a reason to prioritize elsewhere PGI.

I agree primarily because if you get rid of the only mech you that was capable of carrying the engine, you don't even have the option to sell it, anymore. I'd imagine it's something that will come with UI 2.0, however.

It would be nice not to have to menu hop to sell something or see if you have one or not.

Reminds me, I'd like a "remove all" button for modules, engines, and cockpit items.

I pilot heavies or assaults and the Cbill grind is unbearable so I tend to sell mechs. Also I wanted to get the unlocks ASAP and the fastest way to do this is to sell once I have unlocked them. I also find it frustrating that when I keep mechs, I end up with 750,000 odd mech exp that can do nothing.

I tend to also find that there is usually one variant of a chassis type that is better than the others. Yeah, Ill get to a point where my mechbay is full (all four slots) but as someone committed to playing for free, it is going to take me some time to get those four slots full of different chassis types, with all unlocks achieved.
