SO Im not even sure if this is the right forum for this but figured the community would come up with better answers faster.

I have 54 mechs, and 4 open mech bays however the mech lab says I have 58 mechs. I do no however have that many...

What's up with that?

I can only assume it is some sort of glitch or it has already taken into account the free mechs I will be getting or it just adds in the empty mech bays... though I do not believe it did that before.

Anyway chime in if you have an answer or just want to leave snarky comments, because lets face it, some of those are hilarious.

Well, if it is anything like the stats page it double or even triple counts certain 'Mechs. Mostly 'Mechs with with the (F), (I), and (G) tags.

All my Primes have duplicate stats for normal, (I), and (G) versions and I do not even have any gold Omnis.

I thought the mechbay count was 'Total' and 'Empty' and didn't actually give the number of owned mechs. I could be wrong though.

It could be counting the variants for the Non-Invasion versions however, it shows those as not owned in the shop. IE. a Prime variant vs a Prime Invasion variant... which don't even show up in the store.

Its not the trial mechs otherwise Id have like10 extra mechs counted... or however many trail ones there are, unless you mean that initial 4. But as I said, I don't recall it doing that before.

If you're getting those numbers from the readout on the left side of the Mechlab, then that 54 is the number of mech BAYS you have, not mechs.

The reason you seem to have eight more mechs than filled bays, is because the Inasion variants (I) from your Clan Collection are locked to their 'Mechbays (i.e. they can not be sold), so those "mechbays" really aren't mechbays, as you can not store a different 'Mech in them.

This is true for any special Collection 'Mech, such as the Phoenix variants (P), and Founder's mechs (F).

So basically it's saying that you have 50 regular/Hero 'Mechs that can be sold, 8 Special Collection 'Mechs that can not be sold, and 4 unused bays.

As others have said, look at the screen again.

It's:
Mech Bays
Owned x Empty X

Nowhere does it say the number of mechs owned, it's a mech bay count. You can infer the number of mechs by subtracting the empty bays from the total, but as another mentioned I don't know if that includes the "locked" bays like Founders, Phoenix, Invasion, etc.

EDIT: After looking at my inventory it appears the "locked" bays are are included in the count.
