Greetinks mechwarriors.

The idea in short:

Move mech select from main menu to after map selection.

Why?:

As a proud mechwarrior, I find it disturbing that my tech team is unable to provide me modifications to my loadout before we decide to drop to a planet. This could give us deeper meta, more significance to having bigger variety of mechs and shake up the meta and give it proper complexity. Also why not?

How:

Technicalities should be relatively easy. There might be an opportunity to introduce supporting features like drop decks, if mech select variety should be limited. What else?

Give feedback, I'll edit first post if needed.

This would solve the problem of bringing a brawler to polar highlands. Only issue is balancing the teams afterwards, I think people should be able to bid a tonnage, and then have flexibility with (for example) any 90-100 ton mechs theyd like to switch between for the particular map and mode.

Or pick one of the weight classes before matchmaking.
