Because you'd probably do that anyway, so that actually saves you like 2-3 million right-off...

I didn't realize that 1 medium laser, 1 LB10-X, 1 LRM10, Standard Armor, and Standard Structure is that expensive. The price on the engine is what makes it expensive, but still outrageous. Just like the price on the Cicada 3M model is out of this world. They should have never altered the prices of the mechs from lore since they are sticking to the lore prices for everything else. Why spend MC on it when the YWL is 105 MC more and gives you a 30% premium bonus?

It's a buffet of Lostech, XL engine (bumped up from 200 to XL300), Endo Steel, LBX, Artemis... What were you expecting it cost?
In fact, didn't they just go over how they reworked ALL mech costs so the chassis itself was not much at all and the rest was the total cost of all the gear it comes with?

You realize it has Endo internals, an XL300 engine, and an Artemis-IV FCS, right?

That stuff isn't cheap. And the fire control sys increases the cost of your ammo (iirc, not logged in post patch yet).

Sig-worthy. The MW:O economy is pretty generous considering the source material.

If we could alternate between slug and cluster muntions, the LBX10 wouldn't be too bad. But right now it is just terrible.

CASE
LB 10-X AC
all that level 2 tech aint cheap
for the same reason the RVN-3L is more expensive than other ravens, or the AWS-9M is more expensive than other Awesomes, or the AS7-K is more expensive than other Atlases, or the CDA-3M is more expensive than other Cicadas
Except that it doesn't have ES, FF, or Artemis when you buy it. Those you have to upgrade into.

Which you would expect to pay for an Atlas.

"Too bad?" If we could swap between slugs and cluster, the LB-10X would better than the standard AC/10. Which it's supposed to be. And the AC/10 is only "ok"...
Ok... It would be not too bad...

Is it generous when f2p players in an ammo heavy mech load out barely make any money winning and losing matches? Not too generous if you asked me. They stuck to the lore on prices for equipment and ammo but didn't stick to the lore earnings for mercs based upon mech tonnage. Not really that generous unless you're a wallet warrior.

It's not supposed to have FF, but it IS supposed to have ES and Artemis IV. The patch notes even explicitly mention the A4 attached to the LRM10 when describing the mech.
Doesn't sound like deliberately robbing you. Sounds like a bug/screwup.

Let me get this straight - you found out that mech specifically listed in patch notes as having Artemis in reality doesn't have it and instead of submitting a ticket aboout such an obvious discrepancy you decided to QQ on the forums about prices? For real?
