Whenever I buy a new variant of a mech, I do not name it so I can remember what it is just by looking at the bottom of my mechbay. Eventually with every chasis I buy I usually get 1 that I use all the time because I love it. Now that I know which one I will use consistently I would like to actually name the mech. Unfortunately it is now locked ad the name of the variant. Why not give people the option of renaming the mech whenever they feel like? They are the only ones who see their mechs names anyway.

I guess I'm the only one this effects. *Sigh* alright STK-5M lets go introduce poeple to 5 SRM6's.

[Berserker]

My workflow is identical to yours, so I'd support this modification.

[Eddrick]

I would like this option as well.

[Dirk Le Daring]

Agreed. We should be able to rename our mechs at will.

[Kell Commander]

I don't know a whole lot about coding, but this one should be pretty easy I would think.

[ThunderOverWater]

Yes please. Reuse the rename dialog even.

[Vexgrave Lars]

Seems simple +1

[RoboPatton]

Agreed. +1

[JTAlweezy]

yeah you should be able to. And it should also display that name in a game, it would be fun to see mechs named missileboater1000 or AC without the DC

[Kell Commander]

Bump to help ensure devs notice.

I disagree with this post. I agree with the OP.

[Kell Commander]

Bumping because this should be frigin easy to do.

[Davers]

Can't think of a single reason why you shouldn't be able to do this.

[Sigismund]

I still don't know why this wasn't in the game from the start. It's a minor thing but it adds just that little bit more to the personal experience of the game.

[Nathan Foxbane]

Agreed OP. I would prefer to name my 'Mech after I have decided to keep it/forgotten to name it in the first place despite meaning to do so. (My poor George having to go through life as just CDA-3M) And I still want to name my Founders 'Mechs.

[mekabuser]

agreed

[Dirus Nigh]

Yes, I very much want to do this.

People have been asking for this ability in closed beta. I will support the suggestion yet again.

I would also love to see other peoples mech names in game.

[JorDash]

Bump for agreement.

[BluefireMW]

Yes, that would be nice, to rename mechs.
Not all got the name, they should have and some change there Role and need a new name. Then finding them is hard, if the name is not correct to there Role.

Mech equippment is a subject to change, so the name should change with it.
