This looks amazing and I'm really excited for it.
Any estimate on when it will be finished?

Give us a possebility to switch back to the actual line of all owned mechs so we can place our mechs ourselves and i am happy. This looks perfect, just the global mech overwiev is (in my oppinion) not the best thing. as i said, i qould prefer the actual one

That's an overwhelming mockup. I can't wait to test it. Kudos to Bryan for all the feedback! That's a morale booster.

How much of this was Paul responsible for? Because, I love the rest of it...

Suggestions I feel need to be made looking at the post:

- You need to be able to see mechs owned separately from mechs not owned.

- show heat efficiency as a percentage (instead of 1.39/2 show 69.5%)

- give the option of the button to access the social and community features instead of just solely an overlay

- make sure the upgrades arent clustered together like they are in the image (I know the image is a mock up, I mean the final release).

Otherwise it's a solid approach.

I'll see if we can give players two choices here - list view and ordered view using the 3x3 grid. Ordered view would allow players to move mechs around, while list view would be subject to the list view filters.

Specifically to owned/not owned, this will be available. The rest I'll pass along.

^ Proof that melee combat is coming. Why else would you have an Atlas with 5 hands? ;)

Joking aside, I'm particularly intrigued by the "Juggernaut" label on the Atlas. I'm assuming this is to show the chassis's default role (Sarna defines the Atlas as a Juggernaut, a slow, short ranged 'Mech with devastating firepower). Will other 'Mechs have this classification. Will it be explained to new players? Should I be asking in Ask The Devs?

I think it also needs Module & Consumable Management added.

- Add number of Module Slots Available / Used on the little Mech summary / overview added to the section with the Armor / Heat Efficiency / Jump Jet values.

- A button to strip all Modules & Consumables from all Mechs & from a single Mech so you can reallocate them would rock, too.

Isn't that the name of the Atlas?

Was there a "Strip Mech" button for unequipping everything... or will there be an ability to save Loadouts that would really negate the need for a Strip button?

This looks very solid indeed, definitely some great improvements here. Another suggestion mentioned in another thread that I think some might like to see added would be Mech bios for each class and Hero mechs. Thread can be found below.

Regardless, very pumped to take this for a test drive.

As one who likes to use the mouse only from time to time (eating and drinking and such) would be nice to have something on screen to click for social (even if just clicking on the text that says shift-tab)

Strip mech - yes. Loadouts are still being discussed internally.
