A while back I purchased a "Jester" Catapult, as it is a favorite build of mine in other MechWarrior/BattleTech games. I tried using it in this game and imo, it's so lousy I sold it, and lost a lot of mc's to boot.
I'd love to be able to try a mech out before I buy it, including modding it and using it in matches, BUT...
Of course, the caveat being that a player MUST have the funds to purchase it before they "preview" it, and then given the option to buy it once the "preview" period is up.
IMO, I think it should only be "previewed" for a couple of hours, or, say 6-8 matches, as that's really about all the time you need to decide if you want to buy it.
And... as other's have said, any match stats or achievements, should not be counted. I.E. while using it, you get nothing, good or bad, against your account, unless you DO purchase it.
