Im new to this game.

Yesterday I played a couple of hours (for the first time), I earned between 200k-500k c-bills every round with my trial mechs.

30 minutes ago I buyed premium time to speed the grinding up but Im now mostly earning under 100k per round..why this massive change? My damage output didnt change.

Is there a kind of boost for the first rounds?

Yes. It's the Cadet bonus, little booster so that new players can buy their first mech sooner. I think it lasts for... 20 matches? I don't know.

25 I believe

It lasts for 25 matches, so enough to get that first customizable 'mech for most people.

Thanks, that explains it.
Didnt know that, I just heard about a bonus for inviting friends or something like that.

You get an extra ~7 mil CB over the first 25 games. It's a bonus to get new players into their first customizable mech faster. With the bonus your looking at about 25 games to get into a mech, without the bonus it was taking players a lot longer and people would quit cause the grind was so bad in trial mechs. At least now you get the (C) mechs, so you have at least one decent trial mech. They still need to give all the trial mechs double heat sinks, they just aren't viable without them.

Its actually even better than you posted, you actually get enough in your first 15-20 games to afford an Atlas around 10 million CBills. I actually recorded it down to the match how many until you could afford each mech class. It was something like 6 games to get into a light/medium, 10-12 games to a heavy, 15 to an assault and that's where I stopped.
