Just wondering if these tooltips on the steiner loyalty flashpoint could give more info. These are fairly generic and dont actually give any solid numbers.

I'd like the FP preview to just tell us the tonnage ranges outright, separating conflicting missions in a FP like this one above. It could read like "20-50t 'Mechs, 320t-400t Lance" to let me know there is at least one mission with a limit of 50t or less per 'Mech and one with a Lance tonnage of 320t to 400t. I still wouldn't know how many of each mission the FP has, but I'd at least have the right weight classes lined up before starting the FP. I'm sure the "Light" 'Mech requirement got everyone with both allowing mediums, but not allowing 55t units.

First time i hit this, I'd JUST stored my >50T mechs, and minimum tonnage i had were ShadowHawks and up. So I had to unpack and rebuild an entire lance lol.
Vindy, Enforcer and Centurions did great on that one tho

I read "Light" and though you know, "Light 'Mechs" and had 4x 35t units readied and decked out in transit. Got there and learned there was a 50t limit, I had 55s already set for Trg.Ack and had to store all my Lights but one to get my upgrades back and then equip the only 3 50t units I had from storage.

I like the 50t limit, it's an interesting break point that doesn't just let you steamroll with 55t SRM bombers. It would have been nice to know exactly what range of tonnage would be valid so I can save a lot of time setting up the units in transit.
