I have no problem with a clan founder package, but I don't really think they will do it. The Founders package was a special promo to help them fund the game before it was out. It simply makes more sense to do what they are currently doing and simply create hero versions (in addition to free versions) of the clan mechs. Founders got a better deal (more MCs, ect) because they were displaying faith in this game, it doesn't really apply to clan mechs.

Hero Clan mechs should be enough. Founders packages are actually not a very good deal in retrospect.

Founders packages, like a large portion of other F2P game purchases, are not meant to be viewed as paying for what the package contains. It's really nothing more than just a donation bin that gives you some items as a bonus consolation prize.

I'm not saying I agree with that philosophy (because I don't), I'm just saying that that's how F2P games operate these days.

Simple poll is simple. Would you support a version of the Founders Program, if presented with the Clans?

What would you do? Would you support the program, or not? Discuss!

Thanks for taking my idea and running with it. XD

I'd definitely be down for it. I'd shamelessly throw money at it.

What exactly would be the point of a Clan "Founder's" program? Or better yet, what would be the point of Clan "Hero/Founder" 'Mechs?

The only point in Hero or Founder 'Mechs is that they get bonus C-Bills (and a "special" paint job that we're currently restricted to as the only visual customization). IIRC, Clan Warriors have no use for currency and "personal" customizations are frowned upon.

You're assuming IS pilots won't be piloting salvaged Clan mechs.

Well, I'm pretty sure that Clanners will use some sort of currency if they don't use Cbills (maybe the speculated "honor" points that people propose in Clan threads all the time?).

Then it's not really a "Clan" founder's program, is it?

A second founder's initiative that provides clan mechs, MC and game time? I'm not sure why you'd have to be in the Clans to buy the package. You're over thinking this or taking it way too seriously.

[DoktorVivi]

Depends on the Founder's mechs on offer.

[Corvus Antaka]

Maybe if we got an Inner Sphere version and clan version, simply different paintable cammos would do, but something to diferentiate IS clan mechs from Clan ones would be very cool for a package like this.

More honor?

[Wolfman58]

All depends on what comes with each package.
Gotta have that Madcat.

[Team Leader]

I MIGHT consider the tier 2 pack, depending how good the deal is. If it's as good as the first one I'll strongly consider it. Hero Summoner? yes please

[M4NTiC0R3X]

Depending upon what all features are in the game and my current knowledge of how it's going to play out (and which 'mechs they decide!)

Book it 'cos I'm sold: But I've already spent big MUNNYS so they're really going to have to feed me something good or I may just grind it out. After seeing what happened to my Founders Atlas you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be picky though. I'm not going to be purchasing anything that's gonna get ' out dated ' so to speak.

that last sentence made me feel icky 'cos all IS tech ... is out dated. LOL

(knew I should've got the catapult!)

I would definitely I'm a sucker for "Special Edition" games that I like, I own collectors edition of most of blizzards products as an example and some I don't even play that much. I would have bought into the founders program but sadly wast aware of this title till after the program ended.
