The "Mech Bay" is the general term for the game interface when you are not on the battlefield. This section will break down the screens and menus piece by piece. Because this interface must work on many different monitors and resolutions, the Mech Bay is very modular. The below images were taken on a 1920 x 1080 display.

Home Screen

After you login to MWO and after every match you are presented with the MWO Home Screen.
