Are you also tired of gaining C-Bills in slow-motion? Just to get 6000.000. C-bills you have to play about 40 to 55 matches. A long and boring journey towards an expensive module.

I wonder if you guys have also thought of a C-bill booster for MWO.
It wouldn't hurt right? We already have the XP booster.

And what do you think would be a nice boost in percent? +100%, +150?

I do play with the premium time sometimes. And I do play with the champion/ Phoenix mechs in combination with the premium time. Still think that the C-bill income is a little bit slow.

The C-Bill booster PGI offers is Premium time. You can buy it in single day portions up to 360 day portions (cheaper bought in volume).

The C-Bill booster is a +50% bonus to c-bill income whenever you play and have Premium time activated. You can also get boosts to income by piloting Hero Mechs (+30%) which can be purchased with MC (aka real money), just like Premium time.

Are you asking for some other kind of booster? Maybe one you buy on a per-match basis? I'd warrant you'd probably be paying more per match to go that route unless you play an exceptionally small # of matches typically, but...to each their own ;)

Um, if the game is boring to play, why do you think having that module will change that? Just play, have fun, and spend CBills when they pile up.

Its only a grind if you aren't having fun. If you're having fun, well, mission accomplished?

What do you say?


Looks at your Overlord Badge, yep you have 4 mechs with a 30% C-Bill boost included.

Battlemaster - 1G
Thunderbolt - 5S
Shadowhawk - 2H
Locust - 1V

If you can make one of those work for you, the bonus will show up.

Edit; Unless your a C-Billionaire one of each module will be enough. Never mind the GXP needed to unlock them in your pilot tree.

-Seismic
-Zoom
-Target Info
-Sensor Range

Those 4 are the main useful modules.

-Target Decay is nice if you have streaks or lrms
-Cap Accelerator is nice if you play conquest
-AC/5 Range is nice if you have a 4X Cataphract. ;)

I guess the OP forgot to login to his alt acc. when he posted this..

4 hero mechs an still having a prob with cbills? lulz

Just so u know OP.
6,000,000/40 = 150,000 ---- 6,000,000/55 = 110k-ish..

any game that rewards 110k + is a good game.
if your making 150k per game, if you were in one of your Hero Mech(30% boost) that would of been close to 200k cbills. With premTime(50%) & a Hero mech that would easily be 300k.

so it looks like to me your doing just fine. start using your hero mechs an you'll be doing even better.

pssss... if u don't know which are the Hero mechs. they're the ones with the (H) 's :wacko:
