3 main reasons why I prefer BEXT over BTAU
Mech Bay with BTAU:
- After repairing/replacing the core and engine, the repair alert still shows. Even after confirming, we still get a popup saying repairs are needed. It’s a bit confusing at first, and still annoying after.
- The “MAX Armor” button actually maxes out everything, but it goes way over the tonnage limit. So it’s basically useless, and we have to do everything manually.
- There’s no STORE shortcut from the Mech Bay... Damn it... You just spent 10 minutes micromanaging everything (without a useful MAX Armor button...), then you realize you’re short on ammo... Great... Now you have to cancel everything, go to the store, and start all the repairs again.
Am I doing something wrong ? Since everybody seems to prefer BTAU, maybe I’m missing something ?
Then of course BTAU gameplay is great but unfortunately these QoL quirks put me off every time.
***EDIT : thank you for the answers, someone pointed out there is a shortcut for MAX armor, here it is (and it's funny)
no STORE shortcut though...

Mechlab - Ctrl + Max Armor: This will enable the stupid vanilla-style max armor functionality that doesn't actually work don't use this.
Mechlab - Ctrl + Strip Equip: Will only strip weapons and ammo.
Mechlab - Shift + Strip Equip: Will strip all "grey" equipment (actuators, heat sinks, engines, gyros, upgrades, etc).
Mechlab - Shift + Armor Increment: Will increment armor by 1 point up or down instead of 5.
