It's the ability to purchase a variant a friend has made through the existing game store using C-Bills for the cost of the core chassis + the modified equipment as if done yourself.
The idea would be filtered off your friends list so effectively the title would query your customized mechs out of the player profile, or the player data, then present the C-Bill costs via purchasing that equipment in the store and a user can directly purchase a mech that way.
Example:
User A purchases a RVN-3L, Customizes the weapons, upgrades the engine, upgrades the armor. This mech variant is then saved off as "Awesome Raven" as the custom name. (Yes this is done at the time of purchasing the original Chasis)
User B is friends with User A and is interested in their design after playing a few matches together and impressed with that performance. User B then opens the store and navigates to the Raven RVN-3L. Selects a toggle that loads "Custom Variants" or "Custom Loadouts" the store will populate a list associated only with people from your friends list. You'll be able to browse to that "Awesome Raven" and purchase for the face C-Bill value of that mech currently.
Allowing users this ability to share can add a dynamic to the community. It makes it so popular designs among units or groups of friends can be easily shared without sitting and comparing designs. Plus smaller modifications can be made off those origins if someone wishes to cater to their own play style.
