As the Title says. I would like to be able to see the mech I am thinking about buying, with out alt-tabing out and going to a third pary website. I think that is sad. Ok no crying face. Anyway PGI needs to fix this. When I select a mech in the store, it needs to show all its info.

While I agree that the Mechlab needs an overhaul to make its functionality more intuitive and less dependent on third party sources, there is a Mech Details button that you can use to see some of the information you are looking for (hardpoints at least)

Store is pretty terrible at the moment. Doesn't load the mech you have selected into the 3d model, shows next to nothing for information about the mech, just "buy this!" and that's it.

The whole UI needs to be reworked. Why does my game freeze when I go into the loadout and click 'center torso' to view the engine list?

It should work like http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/ with simple drag and drop functionality so you don't need to go click through three screens and pull up an entirely separate one to get an overview of your loadout.

The store has problems. When buying a mech, do so from the Mechbay instead. At the top there is a toggle between Owned and Purchasable. Switch to the latter and you can look far more deply at the available mechs than the Store currently allows.

Far better it would be for PGI to enable more functionality from the Store tab, since that's the natural place to shop for mechs, but until then, make do.

What Levi said, go to the mechbay and select purchasable instead of owned in the filter at the top..you can rotate the mech and see what's in it.

Store would be nice but at least there's a workaround.

Thanks Levi, I did not know this. Will check it out.
