What are MechXP for, when one has all skills set on a chassis? I have 60k and counting but no use for them. Can they be traded or converted into GXP?

[Malcolm Vordermark]

Yes, it can be converted into GXP but that costs MC.

They can be converted to GXP by spending MC (real money). They are usually periodic sales where you can convert at half the cost.

For my part, I have a Jenner with > 1,000,000 XP so I'm hoping they add more to the mech tree at some point.

But you need them on all variants...

MXP can be transferred into GXP from any variant. You want MXP to unlock your mech skills, which makes the mech tons better. Here's a quick guide to help you on this: http://mwomercs.com/...53#entry3172653

I know that, I have all skills unlocked

*shrug* Use it as an e-peen measurement ...

Or at least how much time you waste in the mech.

Yeah, not really a problem. The F is my favorite, but I've played plenty on the others.

My epeen is bigger, I have 1,600,000XP on my Misery

Something to compensate about?

The F is the easiest (75k MXP on it now) but the D-variant can be played well too. However I quite find the K useless, it's like a disabled D, no idea why it is in the game at all, they should have made it ballistic instead of 1 missile HP at least... while the Oxide is overpowered.

Jenner K has an extra module slot. Don't discount this. Also, my epeen is bigger. 2.5 mill extra in Spider 5D, 1.7 mill in Raven 3L. What really sucks is that I also have 100k+ GXP after I used as much as I could on module upgrades. It gets to the point where you just shrug and don't worry about the wasted GXP or MXP.

The F probably has the highest skill cap, but it is definitely the best against heavier targets. The D is the best light vs light mech. The Oxide is terrible against heavy targets, but decent against lights. It will lose to a good D or F pilot though. It's certainly not overpowered.

The K has more module slots, and with the reduced hardpoint space, that means more weight for heatsinks or other things like that.

Basically when I build the D and K in an almost identical build (4ML+Streaks) the K will fire fewer streaks per shot, but have more heatsinks, meaning I will be finger more often and without risk of over heating quickly.

Back in October, 2013, I used my MXP to convert to GXP from one mech and unlocked every module though I've yet to touch most of them due to lack of cbills. This was slightly before the weapon range modules, though.

How long does that make mine?

Only the F gets me hot sometimes (still practicing proper heat management), the D has no problems with it even on Mordor. And if I am brave, I can get the D to 38 damage, that's 8 points more than F. I still play the F mostly however because I like laser lights.

Btw, I find the weapon range skills somehow "magic" (not to call them cheat). I unlocked them too but, why should experience physically enhance the range of a laser?

Technically, anything in the "pilot skills" is supposed to be you learn what you're talking about, meet some dudes in a bar, and someone says "I've got some illegal black after-market enhancements for your medium pulse lasers. 6,000,000, meet me in a dark alley, tell no one, bring no one... and if you don't have the money we'll kill you."

The mech skills, basically you have some experience, watch the techs, and then you learn that if you clean the heatsinks once in a while they'll cool faster.

However I'd prefer weapon variants over "modules" any day of the week.

OP...once you've mastered a chassis, if you feel like spending ZERO cash money...then yes...Mech XP is then useless to you.

[Bigbacon]

should allow you to exchange it for c-bills but as some huge rate. like 1000 XP per 25,000-50,000 cbills
