I see that they are offering the Crusader for sale. Is it a heavy or an assault? I think it's Inner Sphere? Have they published anything like a loadout for it?

For whatever reason, this company loves hiding important information where many of us can't find it.

It's on the store page...

[KabukiOne]

No, it's not? Sure, there's a list of mechs, but no information about them other than their acronyms and a couple pictures.

Thanks! I completely missed that. I guess this thing is a medium.

No worries, it's a little weirdly hidden Also it's a 65-tonner and therefore a heavy.

It's kind of funny, but everything PGI touches has an unintuitive UI.

The mech specs have always been hidden in an expandable or flippable card. I suppose it's a marketing thing to keep the page otherwise tidy looking but for this game, those stats are essential information, almost more so than the mech pictures.

I wonder how much sales does MWO miss, when potential customers feels frustrated missing out on key product details:

a) Did not notice the expandable "View Mech Spec" button for the 2020+ Booster Pack series (Stryker/Warden/Hunter/Predator/Bloodname, also the Rivals Hero mech pack). I myself *missed* this "View Mech Spec" numerous times upon multiple mech pack intro. (And I've been around on this forum!)

b ) Platinum Collection
~Flippable Card style still does not work on iPhone Safari browser as of this writing!
~Others have previously reported similar Apple products' browser also does not render Flippable Card, leaving it "blank" instead.

Probably not all that much. Those who won't buy without that information but are interested in the content are going to ask about it. Even if they don't buy it right away, they can pick it up later. If they buy the mechs because of the image on the website, then they clearly don't care about the specs or don't know they should care.

There's some serious hardpoints on a couple of variations - 12 energy and 10 ballistic

It's basically a 65 ton Piranha!

What we need now... is quirk information. I mean, I've already paid for the thing, its in my forum signature for Blake's sake. But quirks...
