For new players the UI will be intimidating and confusing. They're already confused by the mechlab. It'll save a lot of bad reviews and posts if there was a tutorial for it in the Mechwarrior Academy. Might even be a good idea to give new players a starter mech. They then skill it with the tutorial and they're on their merry way.
Giving them a mech would also help them understand the difference between a trial mech and an owned mech. I've seen reviews and new player threads confused about why they can't change the equipment on their mech.
