The new plans for Consumables is a win for both parties I think. In fact I will roll out some cash once implemented because I dont have 45,000 GXP laying around . Thanks PGI.

I think their adjustment sounds very, very reasonable and much, much more balanced. Kudos to them for having the insight to listen to feedback and adjust course. The result should be a much better implementation and much more community goodwill. Hopefully after this and the camo/paint adjustments, people will come the the realization that the devs actually DO listen.

All CF-110 modules are upgraded to the CF-110U module

So, based on that tidbit, if I were to buy 3 C-bill based CF-110 modules, (I just got me some C-bills hangen bout ya noes) does that 1 15K GXP upgrade all 3 of them?

Or can you only BUY 1 module and then upgrade or not? (seeing as they are only single use)

Where you the one that tried to sell me a used Atlas. Something about it being a great scout mech and only being dropped once?

It states in the new post that you pay 15K GXP for the ability to upgrade, as in, you pay once and get a perk that allows you to upgrade modules.

So you pay 15K once and that's it, but you still have to pay 40K per consumable to buy them. The upgrade once you have them is free.

[Tickdoff Tank]

I am not a fan of consumables, but as I said several times over the last few days: As long as the c-bill versions and the MC versions are equal, I can live with them. The new proposal makes them equal, with a *slight* edge to the MC version due to convenience, and that is fine with me.

I think that the 15k GXP cost might be a bit too high, but we don't have much else to spend on GXP on, and it also provides another reason for people to buy MC and convert mech XP to global, so it is a win for PGI. (And a win that I do not begrudge them in the slightest).

if you use missiles, ACs or replace armor you are using consumables.
