(That is, being vague and giving us deceptive stat bars).

Just tell us exactly how many of which slots each mech has, and where they are located.

Please. I'm begging you.

* Note that this applies not only to mechs to-be-purchased, but also mechs to-be-released (or at the very least, mechs upon release) *.

Its kind of a big deal if a mech has only 1 missile slot, vs it only STARTING with 1 missile WEAPON, but actually having 2, or even 3, in that location...

They're listed in the patchnotes in detail, and for older mechs, in the buy menu, though they don't list location there. There's a spreadsheet up somewhere that lists them all, though.

But but I'm so lazy :P.

And yeah I knew about that, but there wouldn't be a need for it if they would just put a little bit of text below the stat bars that said exactly what was what (and the mechlab thing, at least, would be a boon for newbs).

Lazy indeed. Reading sticky posts in the "guides" section is super hard to do...

I do believe I read somewhere that hard points (among other things) will be better in the new version of the mechlab. Here is part of it ---> http://mwomercs.com/...e-improvements/

Edit: Apparently not lazy enough to make 1800 posts

I was going to reply to your post but I was too lazy to finish reading it... sorry.

And it takes time for those stickies to be updated! Whereas if the information was just included up front....

I'm sorry, I guess a big part of it is me projecting my frustration over the ambiguous stat bars in various games, starting with the early Rainbow Six era. JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH DAMAGE THEY DO AND WHAT THE RANGE IS I DONT NEED A BAR THAT DOESNT EVEN ACCURATELY REFLECT THE HSOGJSDHGSODGHSJDGHDJGHSD:LGJLhsdgjl.

... *ahem*...
