I bought an HBK-4SP on the advice of a commander that seemed to know what he was talking about.
I am trying to understand the game interface for modifying my new Mech (loadout, Modules etc) but am a bit lost, any links that might help would be great. I don't really understand how the interface works. Is there some tutorials you can link me to so I can read or watch (youtube) explaining what I am looking at and how to best use it?
My understanding so far:
Mech came equipped with guns, HS and all the "things" I seem to need to join a battle
I am so lost I am not even sure what I should be asking <LOL>

I wish I had my own videos handy but I deleted them some time ago believing that the new user interface would have been here much sooner.
Keep in mind the entire interface will be changing within two months.
Note that this video is outdated.
Sigh, had tips on the Artemis, double heatsinks, etc. but MWO ate them. Get double heatsinks, Artemis makes your missiles more accurate at the cost of weight; remember strip your missiles and put them back on or you'll have no ammo if you go into a match -- it's a bug. Use endo steel on anything lighter than an assault mech especially if it uses ballistics or missiles. Ferro sucks.
Enjoy! (I hate writing long helpful things and the forum just eating them as if I did nothing.)

Every mech you buy comes ready to battle. They all have the bare minimum- guns, engine, heatsinks. Unfortunately, most stock mechs (off the shelf default loadouts) are rarely fit for competitive play.
You need to figure out what your mech should do, and how much it'll cost you to do that. Online mechlab tools like smurfy are a big help in this.

IMPORTANT: If you do something like forget to put ammo on your mech or put the wrong ammo on... you won't get a warning. So uhhh just watch out for that
