um...
if they didn't see a button on the MAIN MENU and they complain about it, their IQ is probably less than 100...

Walk to the bay that your mech is standing in. There is an opening in the railing. Fall down onto it and press F (default). This way you take no damage and can still transfer cbills to teammates. Then go change your default button to something diff from F before you hit it in a brawl on accident:)

How do you do this? No matter how i get in toa mech i seem to get a 'hit' and have to wait the 30s timer to toss cbills.

It seems to happen when my mech powers up as up until the HUD comes on line i can still transfer cbills.

I didn't read the replies, but as a long time player I have to say this mechanic has always bothered me.  I feel like if nothing else the base hangars could be redesigned where you drop down a hole in the upper level that would simply drop you on top of the Mech.   Would be a bit more user friendly.  Only time it becomes a pain is on low grav maps where control as a BA is difficult.



Sure it felt different but so did my wife after the kids were born. A little loose but it still gets me off every time. -- Suspect

I'd love it if you just spawned right inside of your mech and bought it while respawning....
