As a complete noob to Hawken I've been experiencing a few problems here and there. Any help I get comes from reading/posting posts in these forums and scouring the internet, mostly seeing videos/images from how the PC version looks. Seeing their menu system seems to be a lot more intuitive than what the Xbox One version has got. I think somewhere I've read someone describing it as "Clunky", which fits perfectly.
Why can't I access my garage straight from the main screen, why do I have to go into mech tree.
Why can't I see my mech in detail in the garage? Its mostly obscured by the menus. The PC version fades in and out showing various angles of your mech with any customisations you've added, with out the menus getting in the way.
I hate how I change the colours on my "Mech" (the only little bit of customisation you can do without paying) and it spins around.
Can there be an area that explains the weapons and items. I had been playing for a while before I knew the Hellfires could lock on by pressing down on the right stick. I only found that out by videos on the internet.
And remove some of the obsolete stuff which confuses new players like myself. Ie as my pilot ranks up it says I've unlocked weapons and items for my mech which can be equipped in the garage. Only to find out you can't do that.
Why are the mechs separated as they are in the menu tree. I don't understand the two factions/story as it has not been explain (this too I had to find out on the internet).
Which mech should I spend my credits on or my real money! I don't know. There is not enough info on the mechs.
Bottom line is as a noob I shouldn't have to go on the internet to find out how to play the game.
Hopefully someone with influence can read this and the other posts in this section to come up with changes in future updates.

Sorry if this turned into a rant, it wasn't meant to be. I do like the game and want it to do well. On the fence as to whether or not to start spending some cash.

EARUSHTON, the menu ui can be very "clunky". One trick I've found for weapon explanations is to select the mech from the tree, choose the "upgrade" option, highlight the main weapon you are curious about, and hit "x". This should bring up a description of the weapon including any alternate firing modes such as clicking r3 to acquire a lock on mode for the weapon. Yiu can use that for items, internals, and from the main mech page (not under "upgrade") the "x" will give you mech stats like armor, fuel, and dodge stats. Good luck!

Cheers for the info I'll give that go later.
