It's basically so that players can't rush in, die within seconds and keep doing this over and over to rack up lots of money really quick without actually playing.
I can understand why that would be a bad thing, but punishing everyone instead of just the people doing that is a bit extreme.

I suppose you could do that. But why not run ~other~ mechs in the mean time? There's like 12 trial mechs.
Please consider this, and I'm by no means attempting to be rude with this. I suppose I could play one of the trial mechs, but why not play another game? I've got over 600 on my Steam account alone.
When I find something fun then that's what I want to be doing, not something else. Maybe some other time I'll find hopping between mechs fun, but not now.

Alternatively and I know it's a cruel thing to say when you're new,
It's less cruel than how bad some of the teams I've been dumped in are.

I know you might not like the advice at first, but I do hope it helps.
It's more a matter of how practical it is at times. Being in a group and getting behind are often opposing goals for example.

You realize you can run a completely different build on each copy, right?
Yes, but why would I want to if I'm having fun with a specific build?
At the risk of sounding like I'm overthinking the issue, which I assure you isn't the case because it's my ADD at work, playing a mech or build I don't find enjoyable would result in me not performing as well because it's not fun, and that in turn would hurt team performance, make it more likely that I, and even a team, lose, and that I go from being just frustrated over one loss to irritated over two. Do that enough and I'll probably get pissed off, and my temper's bad enough that I like to avoid that.
It'd be much smarter for me to just play another game or watch some TV, a term I use loosely since all I watch on it are Netflix, YouTube, and Crunchyroll.

No, the skill trees aren't shared.
Well that just sucks.

Seems like you haven't discovered the mechlab yet...
Not sure why you'd say that.
