If I'm missing something let me know but currently I never, ever touch the Home tab to select mechs or pretty much for anything else. The Mechlab tab is now my home screen as it allows me easy access to all my mechs for drops. Just click on the mech and hit Play Now.

Dunno why this is not part of the Home tab. Badly designed UI perhaps?

[Toothless]

Extremely badly designed UI, yes.

Me too. Pretty much always.

never out of lab screen.I don't see a reason for the "home" or "mech select" options to be fair.

[Nauht]

Actually I regret posting anything about it at all now. Cos knowing PGI they'll nerf the Mechlab to force you to use the Home tab.

[Felicitatem Parco]

The "HOME" tab is where you go to select the Training Grounds for testing.

The "MECHLAB" is where you go to select/build a Mech and play the game.

The HOME tab is nothing but a home for the training grounds button.

Anyone else find it weird that you access your inventory from the Home tab and not the MechLab?

[RobarGK]

Always.
I only use the home tab to access inventory.

[Raigir]

First I even noticed there was a select mech option in the home tab. Only ever used it for the inventory and training ground.

[Cion]

+1.

[WmLowFlyer]

I forgot there was even a "home" tab.

Seriously, this UI is awful

[Yelland]

I just wish inventory would show "equipped". "where the hell did I put that XL 360!" or my Radar dep... nope I have to go through each mech.

Or that things like Testing Grounds was just a button that persisted on each window, like Play Now. They need to watch some players, new and experienced alike and see what the workflow and UI/UX patterns really are, and then tweak to match those workflows.

[Tiamat of the Sea]

I wouldn't say that the UI as a whole is badly designed, but as with the previous one, some of the decisions made while putting it together clearly weren't completely thought out.

you mean there are other ways to select your mech other than a the mech lab?!

[SgtMagor]

I always use the Mech lab.

[Ultimax]

I stopped using the select mech screen when they removed the ability to move mech modules around from there.
