This maybe a bit odd, but I just hate the fact that i cannot rearrange my mechs in the mechbay to the order of my choosing. Is there a way you guys can fix this? It drives us OCD players crazy! I do like an organized mech bay ya know!

[Aedensin]

I know how you feel, sold my commando and now there's a blank slot at the front. Bugs the crap out of me lol

[Stingray Productions]

would be nice for some, though it doesn't bother me personally.

[Beeman]

Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to rearrange my mechs however I want. I remember seeing this suggested a few months back...it's probably something they don't feel the need to work on anytime soon(if ever). Or maybe that thread just got buried before a developer noticed it >_>



Either way, I'm all for bein' able to organize my mechbay slots manually.

Maybe a tab for each weight class

[Asmosis]

You should have a "Create Tab" button which you can label whatever you want. Then add a right click prefence menu option to mechs ( the repair, select/deselct, sell menu) that lets you move it to a different tab.

Customisation is key in this game.

Also a drag and drop feature (like moving tabs in IE9) to shuffle mechs around in a tab, because honestly I *dont* want more than 6 mechs to a tab since dragging sliders is a pain in the ***.

[Cyphersphere]

Rearranging the mechs is on my personal Top 3 things I would like to see fixed.

[Broceratops]

I would like this as well. Or put an auto order by weight or something. I'm OCD maybe, but I want an ordered mechbay. If I had unlimited cbills I'd do it myself but I don't

[Molachai]

It bugs me too. Not so much that i get frustrated but Id love to be able to group mechs by type and fill in blank spots.

[Grigor Samsa]

Agreed! I'm actually holding off on spending money, so I can buy my 'mechs in order. That way the variants of one chassis will be grouped together, so I don't have to search all over the place for them.

[Lt Limpy]

This has been requested many times. Yes please.

[Zinitiate]

At the very least, allow us to rearrange our mechs, I'm sure we could all take the time to put them the way we want. That being said, being able to sort them by weight or type wouln't hurt.

[Shiney]

Asked for it many months ago, and yes I agree, about time it be doable. Oh and changing the mech names too!

Please, PLEASE make the order of the mechs changeable.

By the way... there would be enough space on the screen to show more than 1 row of mechs.
Just make the size of the menu changeable and the number of rows auto-adapting, and you could show all of your mechs at the same time without any drawbacks.

[WitchZero]

100% support this topic.

[sycocys]

It really starts to get confusing and a pain once you cross 10 mechs. I can't even fathom how bad it will be when I've collected all the over-sized metal pokemans.

If it was sorted similar to the way xp trees are, but leaving a way open for multiple copies of a variant that would be rather efficient. Or combine the two - have the tree method as your main sorting tool, and your bays spread across per type/variant in the fashion it is now.

[Oderint dum Metuant]

Yes please, my OCD demands order.

There is a new UI overhaul coming in early 2013, so I think they'll wait to that point in time before putting effort into adjusting the mechanics of the current (though I do hope better garage maintenance is a feature)

[Aeryshelter]

I still love to be able to rearrange my mechs in the mechbay and be able to find mechs faster.
It feels like it takes forever going from one side of the mechlab to the other.

This has been requested many a time - don't know if the new mech bay interface 2.0 will allow us to do so or not.
