anyone feels the same about those Clan mechs?.

i unlocked the mastery, now i feel like selling those "others"
with omipod you can configure any prime basically into any type.
think i gonna sell those other clan mech's they have no use anymore.

They can always buff the set bonus for specific clan variants that suck to promote use of the CT component... or something.

I absolutely agree with you. I intend to just keep the omnipods, keep those "Centre Torsos that are unique, and sell away any other chassis.

For Summoner Warhawk Direwolf, that means you only need to keep one.
For Timberwolf, keep two.

But mind the quirks. they may add up.

I've already sold some.
But I will keep my 3 Mad Dog in order to masterise the chassis.

If you participate in community warfare and want to bring doubles of a mech, you'll need more mechs.

or they need to add a mothball option.
not really see how they can be of use now, and selling only gives like 5 mil a mech or so

I'd say keep 'um if u got spare mech bays.



Once the IS Quirks are out of the way, Clan quirks will follow.

Stormcrow
Stormcrow
Kitfox
Dire Wolf

Hard to do that if you only own 1 Stormcrow. Hell, you could go 4xStormcrow if you have them.

Imma keep all my Warhawk variants, why? idk, I dropped $55 on some Epixels of robots, might as well keep em, even if one size does fit all....

PLus, if with more then 1 of the same mech, we can keep multiple loadouts....

I spent real money on all my clan mechs
I'll be damned if I sell some of the for cbills (even thought I did just that with my phoenix mechs)

plus I like the idea of bringing more than one variant of one chassis to CW.

Have fun tediously switching around full builds along with omnipods

You are wrong.

You have to use 4 Mechs. Not 3 Not 5 4 Mechs.
And its IS vs Clan no Timber mixed with Stalker and Catapult.

I have 3 very different builds for my clan mechs so no need for me to sell them, Moving stuff around everytime I want to play a different build is just a pain tbh

Selling mechs? Don't they sell like for 20% of their price? It's absolutely insane to sell a mech in this game. Only reason is if you really need the mechbay for a new mech and the variant you are selling is the worst one.

They sell for 50% unless you ripped all the equipment and weapons out beforehand

I hope they replace the XP bonus of the Omnipod uniform bonus with some variant specific weapon buffs.

(You might see a lot fewer flying Timberwolves if running a Prime with all omnipods intact meant you had reduced heat on cERLL and increased range on LRM20s..)

I have 3 unique builds on my Dire Wolves, Warhawks, Timber Wolves and Storm Crows - and all 3 variants of each mastered.

My Summoner, Mad Dog, Nova, Adder & Kit Fox only have one build each, and only the prime variant mastered.


I still won't be selling any. ;)

I rather find builds for all of them and have them more specialized. Swtiching builds and omnipods seems rather tedious.

Well of course I strip the engines.... what kind of mechwarrior would I be if I didn't have 100 different engines lying around for when I need them.

Well since you can actually build multiple loadouts on most clan mechs that are effective, there is less incentive to sell than there is with some of the utterly useless IS variants.
