I have an idea. In the single palyer mode, what if you build the computer's mech? You can use all the torsos, weapons and you try to beat with your mech. And you can try other tactics for other type of mechs. For example you build a mech for the computer which use electric weapons or heat weapons. And you can try to beat it. So you can find your mech's weaknesses, and you can find out different tactics. And it doesn't involve unnecessary losses in the multiplayer mode. Naturlly you don't get money if you beat it. Yeah, and maybe you obtain undue advantage if you specifically built against someone, but i think it would be worth a try. I hope it was understandable.
