I think it would be a fantastic idea if we could just buy the chassis of a mech. It would be cheaper and easier. For instance I am working on getting another Cataphract. I have my eye set on the one who is worth almost 10 million, the 3D. However i already have a nice stockpile of weapons, ammunition, and engines lying around. I don't care to pay for a unneeded XL 280, 4 M Lasers, U AC/5, or a LB 10-X AC. Along with jump jets and all that jazz. I simply do not need it and I know i wouldn't use half the things that have came with it.
So instead of being able to buy just the chassis of the mech and build it to my specs, maybe for a few million less. No I must now have to wait and grind it out till i get 10 million, then sell half of the stuff and spend more C-Bills trying to build it to what i want. So that 10 million C-Bill mech is now costing 16 million.
Just an idea for the developers, I have thought about how useful this would be for everybody.
