I figure it could be a one time purchase, then you can swap in and out since... you know, you already bought it??? Doesn't make any sense why I should have to dish out a half grand every single time.

Yeah I kind of think this is BS as well. It really makes it hard to switch up builds to test their effectiveness for a few matches before setting on something. Same goes for DHS and Ferro as well. About the only one I think should cost is Endo since unlike the rest of the stuff your mechs structure isn't exactly a "bolt on" component.

Not that you'd ever take dhs off, but yeah.

Not gonna change though, its this way because reasons.

We've bitched about it all along to no avail

So you keep C-Bill farming. Rack em up buy premium time!!

Yeah the reason is that it is a C-bill sink. Basically a way for them to get C-bills out of circulation and in general slow down the progression. Still it isn't a GOOD c-bill sink. Honestly I am not sure why they didn't leave in repair and rearm. Too lazy to balance it correctly I guess.

You are aware that a game need some kind of money sink right?

Yeah... me thinks they have PLENTY of other ways to make money and this is just a game of grab@$$

The devs stated multiple times that they won't remove the rearm costs because they want to simulate the RL (well, in the lore) cost of having a team of engineers rip out half the internals to replace a component and put everything back in place.
I'm alright with it, at least we don't have to pay for ammo or repairs (now THAT would suck).

Then why don't I get charged for swapping engines or weapons?
