I'll admit, I have been around mechwarrior for a while and should have memorized what is Clan and what is IS, but because I haven't AND Faction play asks that you use Clan mechs for siding with a Clan in a conflict, I don't have any Clan mechs to put into my drop deck. Searching the store for just clan mechs is not an option either.

To go from a google search back to MWO and then see if the mech is worth purchasing is not an ideal experience. There has got to be a way to filter the store for mechs compatible with the faction you are signing with.

Additional filter options for both the store (IS/ Clan; Battlemech/ Omnimech) and owned mechs (skilled/ unskilled) would be appreciated. Unfortunate programming is Lostech, so...

Hey there, you two... This idea of adding an In-Game Store Filter for seeing what Mechs happen to be Clan and/or I.S. in their nature is rather good. You're going to receive a big...
SUPPORT!
...from me on this matter, because this Quality-Of-Life Fix deserves definite attention.


In the meanwhile, both of you really should look at "Kill2Blit's MechDB @ Nav-Alpha" (Found at "https://mwo.nav-alpha.com/mechs") information site, which happens to be the current premier resource for information like this outside MWO's Game Client facilities from what I know. At least then you'll both have the ability to tell which is Clan and/or I.S. easily without a lot of fuss, as things there are somewhat well-detailed and certainly identifiably colored. Oh yeah, they also have a search feature so you will not have to Google everything needing learning.

It's subtle, but you can identify the tech base by the bar below the variant name.



orange for IS, cyan for CLAN, just like the cockpit HUD
Or you can use https://grimmechs.is...im.org/Database This let's you filter by techbase and also provides some useful loadouts.
