When selecting omnipods in the new mechlab the R/L orientation is opposite (Pilot's view) that of the main skeleton (Enemy's View). This is confusing.

Since I play so much megamek, I didn't even notice.

Left being left, right being right.
On a side note, the Mech Details gives us 'right' on the left (enemy view)... so why the switch?

Here's an idea. Why not have a simple button that flips how we view it so that the user can have their preference?

Oooh, I really like Koniving's idea for the flip view button. (of course you'd need to update the behaviour of the omnipod selectors based on which view you're using)
