Think it´s a good offer... compared to a 50t CN9-D the NVA has much more potential at nearly same price IF you want to spend MC to a Mech that will be available for C-Bills soon...

[Silentius]

Will Prime variant be available later for C-Bill too?

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

Shouldn't the kitfoxes now be up for Cbills? (they are not)

Ah, my bad. Was thinking of it being more like the phoenix release for some reason. Thanks

Note that the primes we got in the clanpacks have an (I) "invasion" or (G) "gold" status. Primes should become available for Cbills as they're the default/original loadout for an omni, but I doubt they will come with the cbill income booster that the clan pack (I) and (G) versions have.

Yup.

As with the Founders and the Phoenix packs, all of the 30%-boosted versions of Clan Mech pack Mechs are going to be made available as regular mechs with no C-bill boosts. One incentive for buying them in "pack-form" is to get that boost - it gives you a chance to run normal (non-hero) Mechs with a C-bill boost. You do have to pay Hero-kinds of prices for them... but yes, all of the Prime Mechs will be released for C-Bills without a C-Bill boost.

That mech is NOT a Nova: Nova's do not have the ability to torso twist
It is a mini Supernova with better speed!

Regular prime? Yes.
The sleeker Invasion version? No. (Much like Phoenix versions of Battlemaster, Thunderbolt, Locust and Shadowhawk and Founder versions of Jenner, Atlas, Hunchback and Catapult aren't available anymore either).

It is like phoenix release, first they are released for MC, then one month later, C-Bills. The only difference is clan mechs are being released 2 every month instead of 1.

Don't whine about the cost. This is only for people who have not pre-ordered and are too impatient for the cBill release.

Has anyone done the math to see if this is a better deal than the Nova pack, or the Nova A La Carte?

I still want the ability to actually attach stuff to those bike racks, like a elemental <.<

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

The Blackhawk was one of the few Clan mechs that was sufficiently tempting that it actually made me think twice about picking up Clan tech. I have remained strong, however, and even this sale will not be sufficient to tempt me into base treason.

IS now, IS forever.

Well.. Lets see.
Under the assumption that you buy MC for 29.95... (Note you get more MC for your buck if you buy 50 or higher).
Price of the Nova Prime is 3990 . Note the sale is over so no point taking 15% off.
Package bought is 6500 : $29.95 = Nova Prime's cost is 3990 : $18.38

The other two are maybe a buck less.

A La Carte (by itself; has all 3 variants) is $55 US. Comes with 3 mechbays. Prime variant gives 30% cbill bonus.

Package: $60 US (has 3 Novas and 3 Kitfoxes). Comes with 6 mechbays. Prime variants give 30% cbill bonuses.

Best deal is still the package if you wanted to collect the Novas. But you can sample one now with a little bit of MC and still have some left.
