In order to save trouble for players with specific builds of interest they have for their own mechs, why not insert an option to save our own builds? The information could be stored on our hard drives, and could speed up how fast people are ready to click the PLAY button.

This should save time for players as they'll less likely be switching out equipment and re-arranging it manually to fit another preferred build they have, and more likely be playing the game.

Please consider this PGI

It'd be great to have saved loadouts available in the MechLab. When you enter the configuration for a mech there could be a drop down with saved loudouts.

Lovely idea! The only problem about it though Is that some parts might have been scrapped or salvaged to another mech, meaning that some saved builds become invalid if the said part is not in the inventory.

I guess they could fix this with a warning saying
"Part A(B,C) not available. Would you like to purchase those parts or transfer them from another mech?"

And you can select from a list which ones you buy/transfer.

Load outs would be fantastic after you find out where you are fighting....

It was in the past games, and should not be too much trouble to put into the game I think. And yes, for the cases that equipment would be missing from a specific mech's build,...

...although these exception cases seem like good ideas, the Devs would probably just substitute a "Error" message until they articulate it further. But honestly personal builds are the easy part about this; the information could just be recorded on our hard-drives into a new folder. No problem I think. But hopefully this can get out with a "Search/Transfer for your missing equipment" option later. It will, hopefully.
