So should we ask for the dice in a dashboard tray, so they rattle while you run around? If it lands on 12 when you stop you hit a crit, lands on 2 you take a crit.

I looked at them in the mechbay store thing...they always hang so far to the left or right, I would never even see them...so I fail to see the point.

But they dangle and softly bap you in the face while driving, who doesn't want soft dangly things bopping them in the face?

[AntharPrime]

It would be neat if they had an animation if you were really getting pummeled that the dice and other cockpit items would break off or fall.

I wish i could hang more than one thing at a time. I want my cockpit to look like a gypsy lives in it.

Dice are so P2W it's irresponsible...

Dude, I know eh! It makes friggin Consumables look nearly law abiding. Scandalous really.

P.S. Did you hear that they reduced the SL to "0" heat via Ninja Buff. No really! Some dude in some thread said the SL has the same Heat as the MG's... I do hate me them Ninja buffs.

It's been so long since I've played the table top I don't even remember what dice to use.

It is preferred you use those that come default with 6 sides each, and to use them in pairs. LOL

Need more dice and air freshner colour, one is not enough !

.50 caliber ? Seriously ? It look like a 5.56 OTAN/NATO.

It looks nothing like a .223 Remington (stick your metric designation where the sun doesn't shine). it also looks nothing like a .50 BMG, shoulder, neck and body are wrong for either of them not to mention the exaggerated difference between the bullet diameter and the neck.


If I had to give that abomination a designation I would call it a half Ackley improved ultra thick case 50 cal

750 MC? Pass.

I bought the NYE 3050 stuff because they were sub 100 MC iirc.

Plus, I'm out of MC now and I shall stay that way until they offer something I can't live without (unseen) or offer up a nice MC sale.

MC Sale, doubtful.

Things you can buy with MC on sale. Yes all the time!

How is a MC sale a mistake?

It's sounding like Sug is attempting to be the cool internet disagree guy.

So when can we change the color of our cockpit items? There ya go, just opened a brand new revenue stream for ya.

[Lucky Noob]

Hell, we need more Space to put Items on.

Its not fair not to be able to place my Dice to my Lamps. also i need Space to put my Snake to my Laio SIgn.


Vote for more Cocpit Space !!!

Maybe not a "mistake" but definitely a test. They had to find out if people will spend more on MC or more on Items. They want to trade your real money for MC. Once they have your real money, they don't care how many of their unlimited imaginable items you buy at whatever price.

So the question is: Will people spend more money if MC is on sale, or will they spend more money if items are on sale?

Is the average person going to say "Hey MC is on sale here's my $30" or "Hey items are on sale here's my $30"

Either way PGI gets $30.

If I remember correctly the last (only?) MC sale was the middle of December. There have been several sales on in game items.

My theory is they make more money using item sales to deplete people's stock of MC. 80/20 principle. 20% of players probably keep this game afloat by spending MC fairly regularly. That means item sales will be more profitable.

Now the other 80% will only buy MC on sale, so we'll probably only see MC sales every 6 months or so.

Not complaining in anyway, they need to make money.
