So, I was thinking it would be nice if we could have a one time use module that could be used on any chassis. You could use it only once, but it would boost the C-bill bonus of that chassis by 30% permanently just like the hero mechs.

It would cost MC, and the price would vary depending on the tonnage/chassis.

My reasoning for this is that there are some chassis out there that people really love to play, but maybe have to shun when they want to grind some C-bills. I think it would be cool if there was an MC fee to boost the earnings of these mechs.

For example I really love the Quickdraw 5K, however I bought the IV-Four hero mech because I wanted a quickdraw with the c-bill boost. I would have much rather just boosted my 5K.

I think this could be a real earner for PGI, as I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like to get a c-bill boost on non-hero chassis. It wouldn't really compete with the hero mechs either as those are still going to be unique configurations with unique patterns. Not to mention there are far more regular Chassis than hero mechs.

How else are you gonna buy their subpar Heroes?

Yes! Yes! and Yes!
I would be so much more apt to buy more MC if we had these!

Well they're not all subpar.

But they've already implemented this to a degree with some of their mech packages. I'm just advocating more freedom in determining what those mechs are. It could also be used as another sweetener for purchasing mech packages.

So lets say the new IS package comes out, you buy before a certain date and you get a couple C-bill boosters for your current stable of mechs.

This seems cool, but since it's a 30% bonus... and the premium time is a 50% bonus... Now if your plan was to stack both, then it makes sense.

Anyway... On the IV tidbit...

This is what I wound up doing with it. Notice how amazingly not fast it is? Because of this incredible lack of speed, I called it the Adrenaline.
Nice thing is it kills thing dead, quickly. It's all in when you get into the fight. And when you're so slow the fight is almost over when you get there, the back to back kills are great.

i like the heroize your favourite mech idea

But it needs to be permanent to the chassis variant and about the same price as hero mechs of said weight class minus 1k MC or so.

I agree. My original suggestion is that it's permanent. It should also stack with premium time.

I'd love something like this mainly because, I'm the kind of moron who likes to by camo patterns and colors but doesn't bother with the first since most of the mechs I play ( Invader or Phoenix variants) cannot used them.

Yeah, it's a shame camo patterns don't work on all mechs. Hopefully they address that in the future.
