-Buying commandos.

-Buying range modules for the large pulse laser and medium pulse laser.

-Buying a few other modules like target info gathering.

Buying and trying to play the Thunderbolt. My worst mech experience by far. I might as well have spent Cbills on mechs that came with pre-exploded arms and torsos.

Kinda related - Back in the day, I stupidly wasted some of my Founder MC on buying a 'Mech with MC to sell it for C-Bills...

Swapping XL engines in and out of mechs

Adding and removing Artemis, Endo, FF to mechs I use a lot. I really just need to buy and fit like 3 different CPLT-K2s for different moods. I could use another CPLT-C1, as well as another BJ-1.

Commandos

Target Info Gathering

I was smart one and bought it with real money (Phoenix pack).. zero games with Thunderbolts so far.. and it's most likely going to stay at zero.

I don't think upgrading to DHS is really waste of CB.

upgrades... and downgrades while trying different builds on mechs, usually Artemis and FF on/off... so many "wasted" CBs

- Selling Jenner-K and re-buying it later.
- Many useless variants of mechs.

I love my Commandos! (Steiner - go fig)

However, after getting my cadet bonus, I didn't quite understand that the level of earning was a temporary thing. I decided to get a Cicada 3C as my first mech. The amount of time it took to grind up and get my next mech was awful.

SOme Lyrans need to be BattleArmor I suppose. But you should use a solid Lyran Light Mech, like the Griffin-1S!

i thought this was wasted mc on but cbills ha i have dozens of things

ever even bothering to fit the battle masters should have sold them the second i got them

engines for the locusts

lrm 20s

builds for the tbolts they are ok but just not good enough to justify the cbills i wasted tweaking them

and most of all the millions i have spent experimenting with my five atlas :huh:
