Its difficult to tell which mechs are IS/Clan from the outside of the in game store front. You have to click into the mech bay do see what tech it is.

It would be nice to have a mouse over tool tip, or a sort function to make things easier for new players and players who arent' all into the lore and don't know which mech is which.

Its already a big task to just look inside the mech store front. First time I looked i was like, crap....which one of these things am I suppose to choose! So many toys!

No seriously, improve the UI, hire a UX designer. The database query and and code snippet is a trivial but needed addition to improve user experience. The game is already confusing enough for new players. Don't make spending money difficult for people.

The dual store front thing was another thing i touched on. Have a unified storefront offering the same products in and out of the game. Its illogical that you can order some things within the game but other things outside of the game. The only thing that can cause an issue here is if you're using two different payment companies or methods....

...But i'm off topic now.

Anyway, please add IS/CLAN sort. Its like 10 lines of code just copy and paste the already existing sort asc/desc functions and modify as needed.

Yeah, the store should have Clan and IS tabs.

glad someone else thinks this way too.
takes too much time sorting out clan vs IS


also sorting by chassis price would be nice

Definitely, yeah.. now imagine if you are a new player and have no bloody idea you can't take a mix of clan and IS mechs into a FP dropdeck.. you'de be fooked since you didn't have a clue which mechs you were buying, since you don't know the tech difference and there's nothing to tell you that some mechs are clan and some IS..

So yeah.. Also, a description of "Clan" or "IS" in every mech's portait would be helpful..

i had some bucks in my paypal and i was thumbing through the store. i decided to change my mind about that hero urbie (sacrilege i know) in favor of 6 ballistic jenner. just as i was about to hit buy i saw that the pack wont be released until september. decided against clicking on anything. im going to get beer. i wish sorting mechs was the only thing wrong with the store.

At least ingame it's easy.
Fully drab camo: IS.
Drab and grey camo: Clan.

But I agree. For the web store, it would be nice to have a leading "Clan: " or "Inner Sphere: " to the mech names. Maybe icons. Many options there.
