One thing from watching your video...When it came to installing double heat sinks to the XL engine. I think you were trying to drop the heatsinks on top of the engine area instead of using the tip of the cursor to hit the empty heat sink boxes. You know what I mean? You need to drop them directly on the empty heatsink areas.

Good job guys

[AntiCitizenJuan]

In terms of functionality, looks great.

In terms of how its laid out, pretty disorganized. I'm assuming all of the menu placement will be refined in the next month or so.

Overall I like a lot of the improvements however I really hope they give us the option for the current "mech select" screen.

[Khobai]

that mechlab is so much better than what we have now...

[Kilo 40]

needs a "strip cockpit items" option. or did I miss that?

other than that, I like it.

Didn't watch the whole vid, but from the first 10 minutes or so, this looks really promising, huge improvements.

I'm really glad PGI listened to all/most of the feedback.

However, why change mech select screen? Unlike useless engine/module icons mech portraits are easy to read and you can pick the chassis you want with just one click. The only thing that's lacking is modules icons on/near the mech portrait so that searching for them is not such pain in the ***.

Keep up the good work.

I'm not liking the menu for selecting my mechs. I hate the method of selecting mechs for clan war and I see it is taking center stage.

[Anarcho]

Tried to open the test client, had to install/download the whole game again... nope!

But I liked what I see, didnt notice but, does it show wich module is installed in what mech on the list?

[Senor Cataclysmo]

This looks great. I echo previous sentiments about the mech select list though. Is there a max armour button?

[Shadow Magnet]

I also don't like the new "select mech" window. It is too small. I would prefer the current mech selection, but add filters (weight class, IS/Clan).

Also I might have missed it in the new mech lab - but there is still no feature to find modules and engines that are already build into some mechs?

Sorry but whoever made that video:
Could you please first make yourself familiar with the topic you are talking about and then give a compact, competent overview?
Not just record right away when you open it the first time yourself.
Confused clicking, exploring and shouting in excitement like a little boy at Christmas is not exactly a serious and efficient to watch service. It's more of a childish annoyance.

Please see this as constructive criticism to improve the viewer experience.

Thats a good point. I dont know about anyone else, but I sometimes forget what mech Ive left modules on and have to spend ages hunting for them.

2 Things:

- Select mech window is something I never liked to use in the current UI. Always prefered the grid in the mechlab.
So DONT LIKE

- I haven't watched everything but I really hope you got a "remove modules from every mech" button or something making me not to go through all mechs to find a specific module.

Otherwise GREAT!

Ha, well, now we don't need smurfy anymore

No, smurfy's still needed, but I'm glad we now have smurflab for Mechwarrior online

[KHETTI]

Huge improvment so far, looking forward to this going live.

[LordKnightFandragon]

Where did the back button go? I switched to module window somehow and sat there for 5 minutes looking for the back button.

THat UI will take some relearning, but it looks a little easier overall. Ill have to use it for awhile to really make my official call on it.
