A feature I'd like to see is a quick jump to the garage available during that post-game stats time.  It'd be especially helpful at low levels when you can get a level per match on mechs, and adding those tech points in for the next match would be useful.  Currently you have to leave the match entirely to get back to the garage.

I could see some abuses for this (i.e. tailoring your loadout to better combat whomever you're facing), so maybe just limit it to spending new tech points in the spec trees?

Personally i think garage should be available throughout the entire game.
One can gain an advantage by switching his loadout to counter his opponents but by doing so he is also spending less time on the battlefield.

Click me! I dare you.

I agree, there really is not any reason to not enable the garage for use during a match. At the very least though, they need to make it available after the match during that large amount of time that you sit there and wait for the next match to start. It really is annoying to have to leave a match that I am having fun in just to spend the customization points that I have gained.

I have an inkling as to why the garage isn't always accessible from a technical standpoint (dramatic increase in traffic to the account servers), but from a gaming standpoint it is bloody awkward right now.

I have to agree. I'm not sure why you can't access it. I also agree it should be avaiable during the game as well, but perhaps there are technical reasons behind this?

Please implement this!  Countless times my mech levels up and I don't want to quit the game I'm in to spend my tech points.  At the very least make it available between map changes.

+1. It really is unfortunate to have to leave a match to allocate your tech points... especially when you're matched up with people you like and don't want to lose it.

I don't care about in-match garage access, but in the staging(?) view before you respawn it would be very useful to, say, go in and choose a different item loadout.

I agree that we should have access to the garage after a match, especially since we sit there for about a minute waiting for the next round to start.  Give us something to do there is only so many stats you can look at but then after that I sit there looking at the stats and twiddle my thumbs thinking about how I would like to change my mech to cater to the map I just played.

And on that note is there a certain map rotation or is it pretty much random??  In either case, can you put somewhere in the post game screen what the next map is going to be so that when we can modify the mechs in the garage and change them to better fit the tactics of a new map?

Actually now that I think about it this is probably another gimmick to get you to spend more money so you can purchase the same mech but tailored for a different need.  NOW I GET IT!!!  Oh you sneaky, greedy bastards!! =P

On that note.... can you buy the same mech twice???

Fenix - with the same mech but access to the garage you could reconfigure everything, so there'd be no reason to have two of the same mech, right? (But that makes me think having presets for favorite configs of a mech would be handy.)

Oh yeah... Wow I just got so excited with the whole buy a new mech thing I forgot. But presets would be nice.

I think he might mean starting another instance of Hawken and using that for garage time.
