... that I ran a Stalker 4N with a XL Engine and no Double heat sinks.....

I bought a Cicada 3M,a Commando 3A and 2D, a Stalker 4N, a Cataphract 1X, a ShadowHawk 2K,and a Timberwolf (all with C Bills) last 2 weeks and I have no money to upgrade them to Double Heat Sinks or even properly config them....

...so if you see me online please do not judge a poor Mechwarrior who is only trying to level up these Mechs because Paulconomy made me do it..

I wish I hadn't missed the 1 sale where Vindicators were discounted because I've been wanting to try the VND-1AA.

Very similar quirk-wise to the R. So I slapped some ER's and a bigger engine on'er and have gotten decent results:

I feel your pain, I am down to 112 million c-bills right now. 1.5 k MC that I got from the last event. 6 open mech bays. Over 5 months of Premium Time sitting to be used. 8 to 10 complete sets of modules of mechs. The Pauleconomy has been so mean to the playerbase.



If you want c-bills and stuff I suggest playing the game and grinding it out. When you have made over 1.2 billion c-bills you will have a lot of junk to.

Heh I bet that stalker still gets the job done

PGI will need to reevaluate the whole economy model if they are trying to retain casuals. After all, there are tons of other F2P games that are out there, and for those do not care about BT lore, MWO is just a grindy slow paced arena based mech shooter game.

Damn it, the most i have managed to save so far was something like 18M Cbills and they got spend quite fast in 3 Stromcrows (in sales), plus their upgrades, not so long ago...

The recent sales frenzy made me spend the few millions i got left in 3 Firestaters i haven't touched yet. But i was also starting to grind my DireWolves for XP, and equiping them was quite expensive.

Can't help it, as soon as i have in game money, i find something like a module or a new mech to buy... Almost always under 6M Cbills since 2.5 years! And out of my 62 Mechs, i only bought 33 with Cbills. Plus almost all Mech's module.
Where did my money go??? Maybe one of my engineers is stealing from me...

Down to 112 Million! House Lord problems I tell ya.

I have 1.3 Mil and am pleasantly grinding more.

While it's kind of hard to find builds that work with SHS, it's kind of fun to play mechs that don't have Endo, FF or XL engines. Even my STD270 Firestarter is doing ok. Not a lot of firepower, but between the teleporting phase armour and the ability to lose a side torso, it's damned hard to take it out.

And on assault mechs with multiple ballistics, even single heat sinks are ok. It's kind of hardcore mode, but you can do alright with it.

There is a list of Champion Trial Mechs a new player can grab and play instantly. WE Vets on teh other hand are not Newb friendly.

That is better than nothing, but not by much considering you can't change its build at all (which is mostly fine, but more annoyingly...) or unlock even basic efficiencies which leaves you at a pretty huge disadvantage.
