  • Summary: In the Select Mech menu, for example, players are told which weapons are equipped on the 'Mech, but they are not told which hardpoints those weapons are equipped onto. This information could potentially be provided by a hover-over tooltip, a UI marker, or text.

• Mech Bay information is no longer available inside Mechlab
  
  • ​Submitted by: Multiple
    
  • Type: Functional
    
  • Summary: The 'Mech Bays' window (displaying the number of Owned and Available MechBays) is no longer present inside the PTS Mechlab. The only way to determine if you have any available MechBays in the PTS build (without attempting to buy a 'Mech) is by accessing the Mech Bay section of the Store tab.

  • ​Submitted by: Multiple
    
  • Type: Functional

• Add a method to search for and locate any equipped items
  
  • ​Submitted by: Multiple
    
  • Type: Functional
    
  • Summary: Players want the ability to quickly and easily locate any equipped module, cockpit item, weapon, etc. Once the results are provided in a results menu, players might want to have the ability to:
    
    • un-equip any items in question without leaving the results menu
      
    • re-equip any items in question onto another 'Mech without fully leaving the results menu (possibly by bringing up a modified form of the Select Mech menu)
      
    • directly switch to or access the 'Mech that the item is equipped on

• The notification that appears when you are attempting to purchase a new 'Mech without an available Mech Bay should ask you if you would like to purchase that Mech Bay immediately (without having to leave the notification or navigating elsewhere to do so)
  
  • Type: Functional
    
  • Summary: Under the current PTS Build:
    
    • To purchase a new 'Mech the player must go the Store tab
      
    • After locating the Mech, they click Buy
      
    • A notification pops up telling them "You will need to purchase an additional Mech Bay"
      
    • Player clicks OK
      
    • Player clicks over to the Mech Bay section of the Store
      
    • Player clicks Buy
      
    • Player clicks Yes, they want to purchase the Mech Bay for X amount of MC

  • Submitted by: Alistair Winter/Multiple
    
  • Type: Functional
    
  • Post
    
  • Summary: After purchasing a new Mech, if the player wants to immediately customize or access that Mech they need to click over to Mechlab then find and select the new Mech in the Select Mech screen. Instead, players should be able to go directly to the Mechlab/Loadout screen for any owned Mechs directly from the Store > Battlemechs screen

• There should be a more clear and direct method for viewing the details of a 'Mech before purchasing it
  
  • Submitted by: Quaamik​
    
  • Type: Functional
    
  • Post
    
  • Summary: In the current PTS build, the only way to view the details of a 'Mech prior to purchasing it in the Store tab is to hover-over that 'Mech and wait for the pop-up to appear. Players should be able to directly click on a Mech Details button for any Mech in the Store.

  • Summary: The current 'check-box' system for expanding the 'Mech Stats' window is not intuitive, and does not reflect any common behaviour throughout the rest of the Mechlab.
