I'm fairly new to the game. Just completed my cadet bonuses two days ago. Bought a Jenner and it's fun. My 0 score matches are becoming less frequent, so I figure it's time to decide what chassis I want to put the time into leveling up.
I'm interested in buying an a la cart Clan package. I'm thinking one light, one medium and one heavy chassis. So far the Kitfox looks interesting as the light and maybe the Dire Wolf.
I would be really interested in some guidance/help.
If you were fairly new and had the money and desire to fill out your mech bay with three or four Clan packages, which would you pick?
My hope is to Elite up each pack I buy.
Right now you can get the Kitfox and Nova for cbills.
If you were only interested in a fast-track to acquire the Kitfoxes (to include one that gives a 30% cbill bonus), the 30 dollars to start with on the package tier is much better than the 55 dollar A la Carte price. Though if you were to get more than one mech, the 55 dollar price goes down (and if you get 6 it comes down to 30 per mech, much like the packages are 30 per mech).
If you were to go for 4 of them... then the 4 in the highest tiers would be the way to go right now. Summoner is already available for MC and the Dire Wolf is about to be. Next month the Summoner and Dire Wolf will be available for cbills.
Adder, Stormcrow, Timber Wolf, and Warhawk are the last ones to release and are months away for buying with cbills. If you can't wait, that's the route.
For the highest value for your buck with the A La Carte, then Dire Wolf, Timber Wolf, Warhawk and your choice of either Summoner or Stormcrow. Please note I define value as in time and cbills saved per dollar (a Summoner for cbills was about 13 million, so a Dire Wolf is likely to be in the 18 million and up range....per configuration/variant).
