The disappearing mechs saga continues. After readying the Big Steel Claw and having it just disappear mid-way from the storage to the mech bay, I noticed that a whole, battle ready Star League Highlander just vanished!!! It was not in storage, it was in a mech bay slot, it was not destroyed, it was not scraped, it was not sold. Even assuming I mistakenly put it into storage, the goodies on him (Gauss Rifle, ammo etc) were not in the components inventory. Just. Vanished.
I couldn't care less about the damn crab, but a SL Highlander? This hurts.... really bad....

This sounds like it might be a bug similar to one CohhCarnage had on his recent playthrough.

He shifted a bunch of mechs around in his Mechbays, and when he moved one of them into storage, a whole bunch of his mechs seemed to have disappeared. Once he clicked on mech storage to look for them and then clicked back to the mech bay, they returned.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but if you hadn't done that, you could try it. See the video below to see what happened to Cohh and how they popped back in...

Moves things at the start of the video, and at the 2:25 mark, he experiences the bug.

I've definitely had mechs in mechbays "disappear" while moving things around and refitting / storing others but they've all reappeared when I left the mechbay and returned.

Definitely a scary bug.

I've never experienced this bug myself, however if I did, I would be freaking out myself. I mean, the look on Cohh's face when it happened pretty much said it all.

Yeah, it looks like a similar bug, however in my case switching from storage to mech bays, or even getting out of the mech bay completely, didn't accomplish anything :(

I really hope this gets hot fixed ASAP, it's a very frustrating bug if the mech(s) don't reappear after changing the screen.
