With the recent twitchtv presentation of the UI 2.0 and the appearance of the much anticipated ability to group weapons before launch, I noticed that this screen lacks an info : the positionning of the weapons on the mech.

Some people, like me, tend to group weapons based on the weapon and it's localization :

ex : Jenner D has 4 med lasers, 2 in each arms. I prefer to group the lasers in groups of 2, one for each arm, so I can fire from a partial cover with one arm.

Right now, ingame, you can at least fire your weapons so you know which laser in on which arm. In the mech lab, this information becomes important.

I like this idea. Maybe weapon grouping should also be possible in the mechlab.

Ahem, it seems you have not looked into the upcoming features, the ability to set up weapon grouping in the mechlab is coming in the next User Interface (UI 2.0).

The proposition is to add another layer of info to the mechanism.

yeah, everyone is setting hope into UI 2.0. I dont believe to see it before I quit the game. Btw. if you group your weapons before the fight, there is no real need to see the posiitiion in the HUD.
