So what your saying is for cbills I can change whatever I want on my mechs kinda exactly how they are now? Hmmm odd seems an awful lot like lore and not magic like people seem to say it is. I have the money for as many recite as needed the regiment of mechs in my hanger attests to that. Omnis are fine I'm totally ok with the idea is f being able to buy omnis as battle mechs tho
Hence why I said:

Yes factory refits were a thing, but expensive and time consuming to do. It's why they are so many variants of Battle Mechs, often the difference is as simple as engine size, internal structure or armour.... Only the wealthiest 1% of the Inner Sphere had customized Battle Mechs outside of Solaris VII.
To build a new internal structure for a mech, you had a go to a factory (not the Drop ship / Jump Ship we are in), and not just any factory, it had to be a factory that had the production lines for your type of mech, as well as having access to building mechs (maybe not your specific mech type) with Endo Steel. Even then this change took weeks to months to complete, not counting the time spent traviling to a said factory... it's something that could take upwards of a year to complete and cost more than what the mech is worth....
But hey, it's MWO, lets make it so that all it takes is a joke of a c-bill cost, with no down time.....
