How I Earn My C-Bills

So how is the amount of C-bills I earn per match calculated? It's not based on kills just flat damage right?
Thanks.

There are other ways too but the reward system is rather lame so those are the 2 best methods.

Of course, you should still try to kill stuff as much as possible and getting lucky "savior kills" also helps.
In general, loadouts that spread damage around are better for making money than "clean and efficient" ones are. This is because they require far more damage to kill things, and often destroy multiple non-vital components in the process.

Another way to rake in the dough, though it's not as reliable, is to use TAG and Narc Beacon to get TAG Assist Bonus. You only get the money if someone else takes advantage of your "attack" though; and these systems do take up hardpoints while not dealing damage.

I'm not the best pilot, so it may not be much to some around here, but I frequently make 200K a match in my sneaky bird.

Because damage and kills/assists/savior kills/component destruction are linked to dealing damage, look for efficient damage dealing mechs especially with good range. AC5, PPC, large laser, try to deal damage without being reckless.
In less combat-oriented mechs, Tag & Narc bonuses can pay well. Also ECM will give you a reward for countering an enemy ECM.
If you lack personal mechs with lots of upgrades, consider continuing to use Trial mechs until you can pimp out your owned mechs to get key upgrades (DHS! Endo if you have room! yadda yadda). Trial Shadowhawk is pretty solid long range pinpoint punch, and pinpoint kills components better than spread damage.
Don't forget to try to rack up assists!

There is a second screen at the end of a match, if you click to switch over to it...
you will see this.

- Damage done
- Kills
- Kill assists
- Component destructions
- Spotting for indirect fire
- Using TAG or NARC to assist friendly LRM fire
- Killing a Mech inside a base during its capture (defensive kill)
- Killing a mech that has shot a friendly, wich has at least one internaly damaged location, in the last ten seconds (savior kill)
- Ressource captures (conquest only)
- Countering an enemy ECM
There might be more that I forgot to mention. Conquest pays less for most of these rewards, because it has the ressource reward as an equalizer.
