I think I see what you're saying. By default it would be nice if the Mech that you've already selected would be at the top or something, as a priority so you don't have to scroll down a complete list of mechs -- then find your variant -- then load the specific skills menu.
If you ask me, A skills button should be under the configure options when modifying your specific selected mech. It'd be faster. Removing the need of always going back to that general list. The only useful part of the skills list; involving all mechs, is that it NOW has been patched to show all previous improvements with mechs. That's great, but sometimes tedious with the scroll-bar imo. IMO though, I don't need to see images of the mechs in that list because it probably loads slower, and it takes up space.
Loads slower, and pushes all the mechs listed below the one you clicked. With all the new mechs coming in, I think that it should formatted like this:
- All the mech names are compressed to the left of the menu
- The Names are in full: SHADOWHAWK not SHD
- If you click on a model IT DOES NOT PUSH THE OTHERS DOWNWARD TO MAKE SPACE FOR A SUB-LIST
- To the right of that it will show you only variant names: SHD-2K, SHD-2H, SHD-2D2, etc.
- Images are NOT SHOWN to make thing load quiker
- The tasks you've given to the client DO NOT STACK. ex: the Shadowhawk's variant's menu is listed at the top, and the Battlemaster's variants are listed below because you opened it while the SHD was still active
- A specific variant is opened: The skill trees are reserved for a majority of the right side of the screen.
- Skill descriptions are listed on a tab at the bottom, along with smaller icon, unlock buttons, and general skill-point total. GXP and Mech XP.
All of this should load faster, and what DAEDALOS513 said, yeah a specifc mech selected should have it's own variant skill-button in the mechlab somewhere. Reserve the collective mech skills tab list somewhere else or make it load faster. That feels like a reasonable goal.
PS. i think he meant 'crudely'
