So I've noticed the AI does not do well at all in the mechs that my friends want to use when we do CO-OP. So I put their mechs into cold storage while working on the grindy stuff (shopping, running lower quests to finish off upgrade paths, etc.). When you do that, you get this warning:



But, what is doesn't tell you is that all the upgrades you applied are also removed. So, all the CBills, and especially days spent on getting the upgrade applied are lost. Seems a bit odd to do that since upgrades are applied to the mech, not to anything that can be removed. You can swap out weapons and still get the range an damage boosts.

I ran a test just to make sure that it wasn't because I had multiples of the same chassis in storage. I applied the 15% Speed Tweak upgrade to the Orion ON1-YAJ you can only get from running a quest. So it would be a unique chassis. Moved it to cold storage, Did a jump to the next planet in an industrial sector, and pulled it back. Upgrade was gone. And, this test was done before I installed any mods, so I know it is not a mod glitch.

Good news is that there are a couple of mods in the Steam Workshop and on Nexus which address this. Here is hoping they change this if they ever do another patch. They should at least update the notification.

Pain in the butt it is when you have it configured exactly the way you want it but that's what they did.

I have no problem with redoing configuration. It is more of the CBill and time to upgrade. Most of the component configurations take very little time and CBills. But to apply six slots of upgrades takes 127 days and millions of CBills, where most of the are just slight, but useful, upgrades. Nothing like a 20%+ upgrade. I’m close to Clan invasion on that toon. Advancing the timeline 5-6 months so I can play with friends, then have to advance it again if I need to play the AI, seems ridiculous.

Like I said, there are mods that help alleviate the issue. Thinking of making my own mod to combine all the changes I want to see that combination of available mods throws up conflicts. Just would rather not to have to deal with Epic to download the kit.

Please PGI fix this bug! I have wasted countless hours grinding this game and realizing this bug recently

Well, the message you get when you put Mechs into storage is they will be stripped of anything so i guess it is not necessarily a bug but a feature...

My reply was made months ago. Since then I’ve been using Yet Another Mechlab mod that allows saving loadouts when moving mechs to storage. The awesome MW5 modding community has been showing PGI how to get things done. PGI should continue showing support to them, and even implement their work and throw them some cash.

Saving loadouts is the primary reason I installed YAML. Most of the other stuff is just a bonus to me.
