They will be available for c-bills eventually.

The real question is how expensive will they be. I wouldn't be suprised if they are in the 15-30 mil range depending on the mech.

not on some variants, no. However, I wonder if you'll be able to do it when shifting pods. For example, if the Prime comes with FF in the right ST, and you swap it for the right ST of Alt. G that doesn't have FF, would you technically be able to switch out FF for standard that way?

Negative. All the configurations are based off the same base model. You can't change the base and endo and FF are considered part of the base.

For example we discussed that the Dire Wolf has neither FF or Endo, that means none of the alternate configurations have it either because they were built from the same unchangeable base.

I'm hoping for the cbill version to be released later than sooner. Gives purchases a little more time being "exclusive" and me more time to earn the cbills.

On a side note, i considered the package (kit fox and stormcrow) until i could no longer afford it :/

Hunh. I hadn't considered that. I just don't know. Does it come up in TT?

Not that I can recall. Then again, I doubt they would put all 7 slots in one location, that would seriously gimp things.

So I've read clan mechs are going to start rolling out for people that bought them for real $$$ from June. Since I find them way too expensive, I was wondering if/when clan mechs will be available for CBills? Anyone heard anything about that, or are clan mechs only ever going to be available by paying for them directly?

There's two possibilities. 1) It will be purchaseable for cbills.
Or 2) the Clans will have their own, separate, economy and trial mechs.

Either way, you'll have a free/grind option to get every single mech at some point in the near future.

If Clans got a separate set of trial mechs, this will definitely give the newer players more options and such, plus benefit them as economy wouldn't be high in comparison to IS counterparts.
