You should make all mechs available for test drive when going against bots in training mode, with all equipment unlocked, so that people can try out stuff immediately instead of waiting for a mech to eventually show up with a predefined loadout. Since you can't earn any XP and can't play against others in that mode, there's no reason to have stuff locked. Just look at how Planetside 2 does it, they have a VR range where you can go and try out any equipment you want.
It would probably benefit you guys as well, because people now might be thinking it's not worth it to pay for a mech that you haven't tried, and might have already tired of the game once that mech goes on test drive. The same goes for equipment, since I don't know if it'll be worth getting early I'll just wait until I have enough ingame currency instead of spending actual money.
Seriously, you need to do this.
