So as I claim that in title, I'd prefer to see Founder, Hero and Champion 'mech bonuses as quirks. So I will be sure at any time, that my Timber PRIME(I) had it's 30% C-Bill bonus despite the fact that registered as a Champion.

And my new brand CTF-3D(C) finally will have it's first quirk: +10% XP bonus.

And because there is no any other way to get the description of such bonuses in game.

Exp Champion mechs are 30% experience bonus, not 10%

[Rinkata Prime]

It is really annoying that this bonuses came to game lots of time ago, and still has no any description in game.
So I just find a solution. Hope PGI read this topic, at least first message of this.

I will be not sure about this unless I can check it in game.

[Golden Vulf]

Well, you can look at the experience column on the right after a match to see the mech bonus.

Well, yes this is a way to get this info, but man... It is still not good that I can't get access to this info from mechlab and from in-game store especially.
I'd say it's not user friendly.

You know you have to buy these with real money, right? It is in the description of the packages.

Yes, packages claim this. But if I want to buy just a regular Hero (sounds fun) or a Champion - I get frustrated about bonuses, especially if I am new to game (it is not true to me, but I am not the only MWO player, right?).

And, what to do when packages are timed out. What about Phoenix "(P)" variants, are they have any bonus or not?

I guess you're right. I don't see it as such a big problem, but something they should address in their next UI overhaul.

Thanks for your support. I hope PGI will do something with that problem.

[Golden Vulf]

I agree with him, I wish it would show up with the other quirks, if just for consistency. In all the recent patch notes when they introduce new mechs, the 30% bonuses have been placed in the quirks section.

[Rinkata Prime]

I don't beleave that PGI post an answer there.
But I hope some one from PGI team will read this topic.
So. UP!

I suppose it would help non-forum goers to learn about the perks. Especially since PGI stopped doing hero mech and new mech videos.

Would be cool.. not only cbills and xp but loyality points for phoenix mechs.

Oh. Yeah. Thanks. I am already forget about loyality points.

[Rinkata Prime]

Aaand up.
I dunno how long I need to reanimate this topic, but I'll try to keep it alive for some time.

[Dragonet Xian]

Makes sense and shouldn't be much extra work. I support this idea!

[Ronan]

All the OP is looking for is some description somewhere in the mechlab showing what perks a C, P, H or I (champ, phoenix, hero or invasion -- so far) mech brings, correct? Not actually making new xp or cbill bonuses for mechs that didn't have them before? That is a good idea -- see what you're getting when you pay for a Hero mech vs a Champion mech vs a "normal" mech. Mixed in with the quirks, but in a different color maybe?

[Kookieslayer]

I totally agree. I never got a champion mech, and didn't know it was actually a 30% XP bonus instead of C.Bills when I recieve my cataphract from the contest... Now I know I can sell it without remorse
