I'm sure this has been suggested before, but it's a simple change that would save a lot of time in the mechlab. If I like more than one build for a given mech, I should be able to save the build for later in the mech lab so if I want to go back it only takes a single click.

For example, 2 builds I like for the Ilya are the 3x UAC5 build and the 3x lbx10 build. If I want to switch between the two, I should be able to have each of them saved as a favorite build.

Another example: I was working with the heavy metal on some different builds and over the course of my experimentation, I found a good build I liked, but passed on it for what seemed like greener pastures. When I tried to go back, I couldn't figure out the right weight ratios to get the same amount of ammo I had before. It took me forever to finally get it back to the way I wanted it, and that time could have been saved if I could save the build somewhere.

To make the process simpler, maybe mech lab could also automatically put the parts on the mech when you load a saved build even if they're not in your inventory (like if you used them on a different mech or sold them) and calculate the cbill cost so you can buy them if needed.

AFAIK they are working on a way to import and export builds as XML files that are compatible with Smurfy, etc. Or some such. Been some talk about this functionality appearing in UI2.0

[Stingray Productions]

yeah, it has been asked before, nothing wrong though with bringing it up again, the whole community still wants it. I believe Boris the Spider is right, there is talk about it appearing in UI 2.0

+1 support for this idea

See EVE Online for how to do this right-ish. Their UI sucks but their API is top notch.

I see this already exists, so badubump.

I'm getting super frustrated with this. It's not like I want 2 of the same atlas because I happen to like different loadouts with it. It's so tedious to have to change everything around when I want a change. Please introduce a feature to save and load builds.

Any update on this feature?
