Having the cost of each weapon being paid every time you mounted it is to account for the labor cost. The cost could easily be changed to a fraction of the weapon rather than the full cost if you already have it in your depot.

I get labor costs, but the full price even if I already own one? So it costs the same amount whether I supply the PPC or you do? That doesn't make sense.

Don't get me wrong, I want the Mechlab to cost. Enough so that people don't just make changes for the heck of it. But making it cost as much as a new mech? That's a bit much....

I think it is unlikely the mechlab will cost c-bills, other than you buying the necessary equipment to slot. I just don't get a time/money expenditure feel from the MechLab blog they posted.
Could be wrong of course, they didn't say either way, but they made customization seem kind of quick and easy.
