Hi fellow mechwariors

I wonder - it there community need for an offline mech designer application for Battletech?

Regards,

Well, I would certainly appreciate it. Especially if it could be made modular and so be used with mod mechs/equipment as well.

Editing ChassisDefs and MechDefs by hand is kind of tedious, especially when you're straying far from existing designs. And it's easy to make mistakes, too. (I'm looking at you, Missing Comma!)

Seriously, I can't be the only one who would love that.
 
There's http://site-mechbay.appspot.com/ but it's out of date and vanilla only, as well as kinda user hostile without the spend remaining tonnage on armor button.

Can it be used to save it to a .json file the game can read? I don't see such an option.

Otherwise it's pretty cool, didn't know about it yet.
