Here's some summoner I was playing with and when I was done I was shocked at the price. I looked at the components I had put in and they did not cost the 2,000,000+.

So what is going on?

You are paying for the engine, chassis, omnipod, life support, etc. Plus shipping, tech costs to install new software and run diagnostics. Sadly the merchant caste is good at what they do.

No, serious about the first part. There is the omnipod cost, chassis, armour, engine, etc when you buy a mech. Plus Clan tech is just more expensive. In game universe it is shiny and high tech. While inner sphere is a bit dated, some newer stuff but the quality is lacking... For now. :)

Well the JJ's are the cost by themselves on the d byitself, and I accidently jsut changed all the arm and side torso things to D while using the B. I will just be using all D omnipods and D torso.


Still it is 1.500 000+

Is that price included into the price of the mech. Take the NOva for example

Not on Smurfy. Right now, until PGI releases a mech for c-bills, Smurfy does not calculate the cost of the mech just its components. Expect the Summoner to be somewhere between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 c-bills for the stock model and any changes will add to that price.
