You know the one I'm talking about - where you can prep four whole mechs which are ready to go with just a click? No long search for stuff, and rotating the four mechs ever so often.

Bring them back PGI.

I signed in just to agree. You have all this empty space, let us switch mechs easily.

Agreed, those were very nice especially when in group drops to switch Battlemechs quickly.

I always thought of them as my 'drop ship'. I was surprised to see them go.

I'm hoping it will be added back into the game eventually, it was a nice feature.

I would love some sort of sorting options.

I have mechs that are perfect. (normally with a premium camo).
Mechs that will do.
Mech's I'm working on and
Mechs that will never work out.

I'd like to sort them that way.

But at the very least, I'd like to separate my favorites.

Yes, Yes, YES!

Such a SIMPLE small feature.... yet NOT Included in UI 2.blow?

/signed, it was a such an easy method to keep track of equipment and always have mechs ready to drop in any weight class.

I'm all for bringing back the four slot 'favorite mechs' thing back, it was incredibly handy.

I knew exactly what you were talking about from the title. I would like this feature returned.

I logged in to agree also.

It was really nice, and gave me a good daily goal - I would play till I used my x2 xp for my 4 "favorite at the moment" mechs.

Now, I just kinda get bored when I see I have 10+ mechs to go.... /sigh

Exactly! Me too!

Oh, and I agree, bring them boxes back!

I miss the summary box that told you which engine, how many DHS and what weapons
(and yes you get weapons from hover but that requires a click, move away and then hover to get)

There are so many things wrong with UI2.0 that there is no good place to begin to describe its failure as a UI. However, I can get behind the OPS suggestion.

...
Mechs that have modules on them. :D

We have "Light" "Medium" "Hero" "Champion" etc. so why not "Favourites" or let us create our own categories.

But I'd still like the 4 super easy, no menu click needed, little 'favourite' / quick-select boxes.

I loved that feature and can't think of a single reason they got rid of it. A ready list was just simple and useful, if they bring it back I will straight-up do a happy dance.
