When setting up weapon groups, it would be really useful to see location, and (preferably also) Hard point #

I mean when you've got 6 ML ready, it would be useful to know which are Left / Right side, and which are High / Low so you can set your groups up properly

Weapons are listed from Left to Right in the weapons group list. It would be nice to show location of weapons on that screen, though. That makes it much less of a memory game.

The weapons are actually listed in order of when you equipped them on the mech. Or that is what it seems like to me because that is true on every single one of my mechs. The only little exception to this is the arm mounted weapons which come first in the list regardless of order equipped.

^ Worth repeating.

Weapons go arms, then torso, and left to right.

Also add the ability to set group/chain fire in the mechlab weapon grouping sub-window.
Not a big deal, it's just nice to know it's all set up before you drop.

...Maybe I'm just too lazy to jump into testing grounds for a minute.

Didn't realise I had. Must have misclicked. And why spend an extra 3-4 minutes to drop when you could do it in one place? There's a uh, acronym for that, what is it? Oh yeah 'UX' User eXperience.
