Okay very good question

I did put another post up in general about double charges or other charge errors

However I just talked with Kyle....what you need to do is select Elite as an upgrade rather than buying two veterans.

What I suggest doing is do the elite upgrade right now and it should charge you 30$ to upgrade to elite then get your refund for the 30$ you spent on the second veteran

End result should be 60$ as it should be

I can't do this because the website say's I'm already Elite.

[The Original Prankster]

Can you buy extra mech bay slots ingame (like you get with Elite and Legendary), and how much will they cost if you can?

Are our passwords safe? Recently many databases have been hacked and we speak about a lot of money for something I can use in the future. LinkedIn, Last.fm, League of Legends had to tell their users to change passwords, and obviously the hashed passwords weren't even salted. Do you use the most recent algorithms for password safety?

The difference between me spending 0$ and $60 is whether or not i can put ppcs on my founders catapult. I don't understand what this primevariant stuff is, its been over a month since I read the mechlab devblog. Can i get a quick answer to this question

Thank you very much.

Someone else will have to give you a "hard" confirmation, but as I understand the Prime loadouts and how weapons/equipment get assigned, then the answer would be no.

The short answer is "No, it won't let you".

The slightly longer answer is, weapons mount onto a certain hardpoint style. So, if your mech has a mount for a laser, you have to mount some combination of lasers at that point. You couldn't strap on a gauss rifle instead.

In the case of the CPLT-C1 (The Prime variant of the Catapult) you have LRM-15s on the "arms". So, you have to mount missle pods there.

You can't. You want the K2 variant.

Sure a prime variant has 4 medium lasers so beam hard points...so long as you make the room you can put PPC's on it.

Remember there are beam hard points on the torsos

so no you cant put PPC's on the big arms...but you could on the torsos

I would like to know which mech will earn the most C Bills of the 4 founder mechs.. as in.. how the exp is added.. is it damage..or kills.. I thought i found this thread but nows a great time to answer again!

Founder's mech (any of them) have a 25% built in extra c-bill generation per mach

The 50% extra exp and C-bill generation comes from premium account, not the founder mech. But the premium account DOES stack with founder mech to get up to 75% extra c-bill income per match.

Thank you very much.

the mechs that you can get are
Atlas AS7-D
Hunchback HBK-4G
Catapult CPLT-C1
Jenner JR7-D

We don't have enough info to know if you can fit 2 ppcs into the C1 variant but we do know that the K2(the Cat with 2 ppc as default load out) is not available as a founder mech.

theorically if you can squeeze enough tons somewhere you should be able to fit PPC on torsos and downgrade the Arms LRm or swap to SRM, personally i had that idea plus a couple of med or small lasers for a mid/short range catapult.

you most likely will be able to buy more due to getting diffrint mechs/varients later on in the game.
