[Bug]Random Squad not random

[quay]

Using a random squad while only having one or two teams it it possible to start with a regular squad without a lot of effort. This does not correspond to the idea of a random squad and thus should be blocked. My suggestion is, that radom squads are automatically unlocked after a certain amount of other squads are unlocked or that they are unlocked from the beginning but already include all squads, even the locked ones.

(In addion for "randomness" purposes, I would suggest that a maximum of 1 member of a certain squad is allowed for the random squad)

I mean.. what did you expect a "random" team of 3 chosen out of the only 3 available mechs to be?

It seems to me that this isn't a bug, as the tooltip clearly says "Create a Random Squad out of all the mechs you've unlocked."

Not saying it's the best feature as is since I could see it being misleading at first to a new player, but I'm not sure I agree that it's a bug.

Well, with the way it is right now, there just isn't any need for random squads. They are neither challenging nor anything special. Although it truly isn't a bug in the sense of programming, it does remove the purpose of this function. Therefore I suggest to modify the "random squad" to a certain amount, to regain the currently lost randomness.

Having more parameters to customize how the random squad is selected would be great (like not pulling more than one from each standard squad), definitely. As it stands now, I could see it being fun after I've unlocked & used all the squads on their own, and want something different for another run.

That's exactly its purpose, and I agree it shouldn't even be available until you've unlocked some (or all) of the squads. At least half.

I guess I just fail to see the value gained by locking away features like that. If you don't like picking randomly out of a smaller pool, why not just avoid using it until later?
