I do think Phoenix should be repackaged and reoffered in the following manner under the above title. I aimed to make this more like Clan Wave I is currently than later packs that have more content than either Phoenix or Wave I. Not much additional content as the highest cost for everything would be $110 about Daishi level and that only offers some Premium Time plus 4 variants with CB boost, supposedly the Faction camo.
1 - Offer all the tiers. Change the Shadow Hawk tier, remove the 2H and 2D2, add the 2 variants that came later I think 2D and 2K, this encourages people to buy both Shadow Hawk Tier and Mastery Pack if they can and get the whole line. Possibly change the 3 variants offered at Locust, Thunderbolt and Battlemaster level too but none of those currently in the gift store. Looks something like this with new Tier Titles:
Claw Tier - Locust variants 1E, 1M, 3M/3S
Tempest Tier - Shadow Hawk variants 2D, 2K, 5M
Defender Tier - Thnderbolt variants 5Sb, 7M, 9S
Master Tier - Battlemaster variants 2C, 3M, 3S (maybe 1 replaced by 1Gb)
Cutlass Tier - Griffin variants 1DS, 2N, 3M
Scimitar Tier - Wolverine variants 6M, 7D, 7M
2 - Do not offer the Medallions with LP bonuses (original exclusive).
3 - Do not offer the LP bonus on any variants (original exclusive), just replace the Phoenix skin with the Resistance skin on one variant per chassis, give it the 30% CB boost and a new letter designator, not P, maybe even change the variant. Perhaps create new, unique geometry also.
4 - Do not offer the Hot Rod pattern or whatever else were special exclusive unlocks, I do not remember them all.
5 - Allow Faction skins on all Phoenix Mechs bought with cash, new and original, as was done (or supposed to have been done) for Clan Wave I, based on level bought.
6 - We really do not need early month rewards as Phoenix was offered before and more resembles Clan Wave I than later packs with their higher content presented currently. Maybe offer Premium Time for those buying Tier 3+.
7 - Make new badges to tell original and Phoenix Resistance buyers apart.
8 - Anyone who has or will buy top level Phoenix (original or Resistance) and has bought a top level Resistance I pack gets the following as a bonus a new chassis, maybe some other Phoenix Mech
Basic info on variants not in game.
Griffin-1DS with new hardpoints somewhat similar to 2N.
Wolverine-6M would have new hardpoints either
2 Energy Left Arm, 1 Missile Left Torso, 2 Energy Right Arm, 1 Energy Head
or
1 Energy Left Arm, 3 Missile side Torsos, 1 Energy Right Arm, 1 Energy Head
Wolverine-7D/M would have MASC (this might reduce hardpoints, I do not know since I do not know how MASC is done so I will list only minimum hardpoints needed for now) and
7D - 1 Missile Left Torso, 1 Ballistic Right Arm, 1 Energy Head
7M - 1 Missile Left Torso, 2 Energy Right Arm, 2 Energy Head
Thunderbolt-5Sb would be like the -5S but 1 Energy in the Head added.
Thunderbolt-7M would be like the -5S but 1 Missile is moved to the Left Torso.
Battlemaster-1Gb would have
1 Energy Left Arm, 2 Energy Left Torso, 1 Energy Center Torso, 2 Energy Right Torso, 1 Energy Right Arm +1-3 Energy somewhere
