I agree with if it's not broke don't try and fix it. Guys they should listen its our money financing this game with out our love of battletech and mechwarrior they would be serving coffee at Starbucks or bagging groceries ...that's my 2 cents worth.

I can't believe they haven't even responded to the request to keep the mech grid. I've see many people calling for it to be kept, but PGI is not acknowledging the request.

If they remove the mech grid and leave only the mech select pop-up - I will stop playing MWO out of frustration.

UI2.0 tooks me months to get over, this... this is worse.

I prefer the `MechBay grid as well, and also, adding a tab marked as `MechBay. I also think the Store tab should be moved to the Home section to make room as this:

Home|MechBay|MechLab|Faction|Skills.

It makes sense to me to do this.

I agree, i liked that 'Mech selection grid so much that i usually selected my 'Mechs from the mechlab rather than "select mech" :D

Agreed...if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

However, would like to see the Mech selection list as dropdown from a toolbar in the Mechlab instead of a separate window...consolidate, consolidate, consolidate!

Not only do I desperately want the mech grid back, but I'd also love it if the game remembered my preferences.

I'd love to have buttons to show or hide the following categories:
  • Inner Sphere
  • Clan
  • Light
  • Medium
  • Heavy
  • Assault
  • Hero
  • Champion
  • Trial
  • Favourites
And when I launch the game, the UI would remember my preferences from the last time I played. So for example, maybe I just want the Mech Grid to display my Inner Sphere Champion Light mechs, and nothing else. Or all my Clan Assault mechs. Or all my Hero mechs, if I'm grinding C-bills lately.

And the Favourites would be the equivalent of the old 'quick launch' drop deck in UI 1.0. You just mark your favourite mechs in the UI, and then you have a separate tab in the Mech Grid for showing or hiding those. If you have 200 mechs on your account, but you mostly have 8-10 assorted mechs as your favourites, then it would be really cool to have a separate Favourite list, and the ability to set this list as the default when you launch the game.

I really, really, really think this would make a lot of people happy, while being a fairly easy thing to do.

YES I AGREE, bring back the mech grid! I want to be able to see ALL my mechs at THE SAME TIME. This helps me not only decide which mech to take out.. I also feel some admiration viewing the collection of mechs I have amassed! Do not take this feature away.

... there is another way besides mechlab to select mechs ? wait. i roughly remember:
tried it once. checked for other things. used mechlab.


too many clicks. make the selection like mechbay (why need a second version of the same thing anyway ?) and add some filters. it is a pain in the balls to check for e.g. your clan medium mechs only on the current GUI - i have over 160 mechs in my bays.

YES! Add MANY and USER CUSTOMIZED filters too!
