Hello Community^^

I started yesterday to play mwo, and I like it really.

But I want build my own Mech, and I cant.
I go to the shop (via owned mechs) and for every Mech I have to spend real money ?

Is it possible to get a Mech without spending real Money ?
Im so confused..

thx for help

[scJazz]

The prices you see listed for Mechs are EITHER MC OR CBills. Unless there is no CBill price in which case you must spend $$$ for that Mech.

[ColdDwarf]

Yes that was my opinion too, but for example a low light mech cost 1.9 million, but I cant buy it becouse "not enough MC"

I dont know I simply cant buy any Mech..


Edit: Commando Com-1b cost: 1.694,542

My Credits 1.932,784

And there is a red text "not enough MC"


So for every Mech I have to spend MC too ? Or whats wrong here ?

I like the game and I spend maybe some Euros, but I dont get this

1 ) Wait until you have finished all of your Cadet Bonus and have about 10m CB
2 ) There are two buttons for buying a mech Buy MC and Buy CB make sure you are clicking the right one
3 ) Be certain you actually have enough CB.
4 ) You probably do not want to buy a light mech as your first choice anyway!

I dont buy a light mech.

It was my own mistake. The button to buy a mech is called "buy cb" ?

[scJazz]

Yeah... there isn't enough space to write "Buy Mech Using CB"

Still don't buy a Light Mech without seriously thinking this through because the first thing you need to do to any of them is spend about 8m CB upgrading the Structure, Armor, Heat Sinks and buying a 5m CB Engine.

When you go to buy mechs, are you looking at the "MC only" section? It is the first selected. There are 5 buttons along the top right--Hero/Champion mechs (MC only) Light mechs, Med mechs, Heavy mechs, and Assault mechs. Make sure you are selecting one of the other button/tabs first.

Or, you have confused the two buttons.

There are TWO WAYS to buy a mech - with c-bills, or with MC. If you don't have the MC, it will say not enough MC, but you can still use the "Buy CB" button, to buy the mech for it's listed c-bill price.

I'd wait though - the commando is fun to play, but if you want a killer light mech, get the Jenner JR-7F.

After playing 25 games in trial mechs, you will have around 10 million c-bills, so you can have the killer loadout, with a big xl engine and double heatsinks from the get go.

Use this mechlab program to play around first and see which mech you prefer.
http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab

These are the chassis that you have been playing on trial:
Raven-2X http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ab#i=34&l=stock
Cicada-3C http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ab#i=39&l=stock
Catapult-A1(C) http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ab#i=91&l=stock -- A1(C) only available with MC
Victor-9K http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ab#i=88&l=stock

Right now, the Catapult on trial is a "Champion" mech. That means it is only available to buy with MC but whenever you play it you get a little C-bill boost. The rest you can buy with just C-bills.

[qki]

or you can recreate the oadout using a regular CPLT-A1, without the boost.

Thanks for all Answers / Help

I like big and heavie Mechs(maybe I buy a Stalker), but I realized this game isnt that easy..
I stay first at the Trials and practice.

Yes that Button-thing is really strange..maybe it can be fixed ?

Nice Mechlab btw !


Edit: Holy *** wow looks very interesting but complicate.

i'd warn you to stay away from assault mechs. Positioning is very important in this game, and assault mechs are slow and cumbersome, making it very easy for new players to find themselves in a bad spot.

Faster mechs might serve you better to start with.

CN9-A Centurion fitted with 3 SRM6, 2 medium lasers (no autocannon) and max armour plus the biggest engine you can fit is a very deadly mech.

Just keep in mind that damage is not everything.
