I think the most interesting part of this is the LANCE RATING indicator on the lower right side. Note how it appears to have 10 levels of rating not unlike the Mission Difficulty rating. Both consisting of 5 icons equally divided into half-step segments.

Could this mean, this "device" is intended to tell the commander how comparable his lance is to the one he'll face on the current mission?
( i.e. swap out your mechs until the lance rating shows at least 3 stars when going on a 3 skull mission??)


I'm so stoked!

That's how I took it, give you a chance to gauge how much risk you are taking by comparing the two.

Remember though, pre mission Intel is only a guess, and the devs have said that sometimes the Intel is completely wrong.

Glad to see the drastically shrunk the Mech profile pictures. Much easier to discern what it is. It would be cooler though if they were stylized concept art for each instead of monotonous gray of the 3d models.
