The developers should seriously consider adding an "Engine Curve" Button to the Mechlab. When you push this button, a graph will appear displaying all engine curves available for that BattleMech. The graph will show the relationship between engine rating, tons, and speed. This would help determine what engine rating you require in order to attain a certain speed...

X Axis: Shows Engine Rating (STD or XL)
Y Axis (Left): Shows Tons
Y Axis (Right): Shows Speed (KPH)

The picture below was used for illustration purposes only to get the point across. Thoughts?

Well , it is a nice idea , maybe with UI 2.0 , but as it is both smurfy and the MWO wiki have a chart and have a way for you to test the max speed per engine without buying it.

But it should be easy to implement, so why force people to use 3rd party stuff to get relativly basic information on your mech?
