I have 100-ish mechs in my mechbays and every single one of those is battle ready. I do swap modules in and out but any other item is my stock is just surplus from fit changes. I have many millions C-bills in equipment not used at the moment. Too darn lazy to start logistics tables for a shooter game. (Just as bad in EVE where I have a number of fleets scattered across the galaxy. Major difference is there I can't access the stuff anymore)
@Remarius sorry. I meant Lan. 200ish Mechs? So you have some variants twice? wow.... that's grinding. You even have a RL?
Yup, mechs I like or have won. Plus tbh ... Gold Nova and Direwolf so I ended up with an extra set of Clan Mechs so that's 24 of the duplicates. Strangely since I mastered everything I have discovered a real life....
5 Today ... 3 with c-bill bonuses as I really can't resist hero mechs for the famous couple. Sadly 3 of them will be awful.... *cough* Fenris *cough*
Sorry, I'll take a for a few. Go peek at the last few minutes on Devlog #9, Crab and Swamp Map previews?
Sorry, 84. No engine swapping either. Until recently they were even more ready to go as I passed on modules, C-Bills that could have been going toward buying more 'Mechs, but finally caved after convinced me to try radar dep and realised it is quite helpful. Now much more likely to sit in a match to free the 'Mech and its modules up rather than skip to next, along with the constant fight to remember to strip modules after every match to avoid having to trawl through them all.
I have to admit I deliberately keep a clan mech outfitted with modules nowadays for if I'm soloing and I die quickly while grinding xp on a set of chassis that use the same modules (CN9-AH and AS7-S were a classic exampe as both used my SRM 4 range and AC20 cooldown). I'm trying to get back into gauss's so its a good constant experience plus I feel like I really should make use of the DWF (G). Helps that its easy to run up massive damage and rewards with 2 GR, 2 LPL 4 ERML.
Similar to you Rems I usually keep a LRM-boat drop ready as those typically don't share modules with brawler or sniper builds .
