What's terrible? They should be even more expensive if you ask me - so that not this many people could affort them.
Reason?
Well currently more than 70% of the mechs on the battlefield are clanners - if they don't put some price behind that before making them available to the whole community those numbers aint gonna get any less.
It should be something a bit more like an end-game content, not a customer preference - something you'lld be able to affort after many, many, many battles - so it's something you could actually value.

And you know what - buyng a clan mech doesn't solve all your money issues - the equipment is quite expensive also
CUAC20 - ~900 000 cbills, LBX20 - 1.2mil CBills.

Well okay - making it expensive so it's not available for anyone and everyone is kinda stupid reason, but if they don't do that they'll be forced to think of, plan, develop and implement an idea in the game that would actually give you a reason NOT to play a clan mech
Otherwise... it would be ClanWars Online - somehow like it is currently...

Oooh yea - CW... right...

Why clan mechs are going to be so cheap?
A dire wolf should not cost less than 30 milion.

Given there is nothing to play for at the moment beyond buying new mechs and weapons. Lots of time to wait for them to release Cbill versions of Clan Mechs and get the Cbills to pay for them.

TT Atlas K is also 22 mil. 12 Mil in MWO.

Mainly because XL engines don't scale with tonnage, they are simply a flat rate. This will cause some light mechs to be more expensive than TT, and many assaults and heavies cheaper than TT.

Of course weapons are also twice as expensive as TT, so boats might be more expensive as well.
