First of all I want to say sorry for my English.

I have a question for PGI. What criterion are you using for clan mechs prizes?

I want to expose this question with some interesting data.

___________________SARNA PRIZES ________MWO PRIZES ________%DISCOUNT

KIT FOX______________5,368,837___________ 5,848,129_____________- 8,2%

NOVA _______________11,586,250___________8,803,938_____________24,02%

SUMMONER__________21,320,834___________13,899,241____________34,81%

DIRE WOLF__________29,350,000___________17,149,906____________41,57%


Are you using some kind of exponential function to calculate prizes and 'Y' asymptote
is on 18M cbills?

And if you see IS mech prizes usually as heavier as they are as expensive as they are following a linear progression.

If Summoner cost 15M and Direwolf 17M.... timberwolf and warhawk must cost between these prizes?
On 30 tons of interval you only change 2M the cost of the mechs.

What about decrease Nova and Summoner prizes to have a wide range of prizes on clan mechs like on IS? This may avoid that all heavy and assault mechs will cost between 15-17M.

Thanks for your time, your comprehension and your comments. ;)

They add up the costs of the components.

Here's a rough breakdown:

You can't compare the C-bill costs on Sarna because those are from the TT game.

They break it down with a cost per item, which is why different variants have different prices.

Not sure how they determine things like base chassis cost or omnipod cost (which all have weird non-round values) but the per-item price structure makes them much cheaper than TT costs
