I've got a Muromets and a couple of bays. Hesitating on getting premium since I play intermittently. I see all these packages, like the Rifleman, the Marauder and the Origins IIC, but those are all only available with money.

So what can I do with 9550 MC? Are Mastery Packages good value? My line up is just 3 Stalkers, a Timber Wolf, a Raven, 2 Hunchbacks, 2 CTFs, that one Loyalty Centurion.

Jenner mastery.

Glorious 300XL Champion, and the SRM16 Rocket light.

Mechbays as needed > hero mechs if any look good to you > mastery package if you want to get mastery on a chassis type.

The mastery packs are pretty good value vs buying everything individually BUT only if you want to spend MC on normal chassis as well. Personally i'd rather just grind them out and save MC for the things which can't be bought with cbills, like hero mech.

You could also buy yourself a color and on mechs you really love stick a one-shot camo on it. I personally use the tiger camo with a dark purple and some blue myself on my 2 favorite mechs. After all, style trumps utility!

Mastery package does offer good stuff. Personally I am saving my MC until the Timberwolf Hero comes out. Also waiting on the next Mastery pack discount sale.

Im only spending on mech bays, colors and one shot camos.

Kitting out all my 50+ takes forever though

One shot camos... Really?

yeah why not? If I know I wont change the camo on them ever, 75-125MC is better than 500-1000 MC.

If you already have 3 Stalkers, and like them, a Misery could be a good choice. It's one of the better hero mechs.

Otherwise you can easily burn that amount of MC with pattern unlocks and colors.

mech bays and colors when there 1/2 off and 1 hero it was also 1/2 off

[FlipOver]

I'd say save the MCs to purchase something on sale.

Bought 2 Hero mechs for the price of one a month ago. Well worth the wait.

[Rushin Roulette]

Yes, Mastery bundles are good value for money if you really want to buy them for the Heroes as they include premium and some of them have cockpit fluff (if you really want that). However, all mechs in bundles are also available with CBills (not Heroes obviously, but you can exchange that for a 3rd variant of your choice)

I personally would rank the MC items as follows and would also only buy them if they are on sale;

Mechbays > Colours for your unit > Heroes you really, really want > Warhorns > Mastery bundles > The rest

If there is no sale -> Mastery Bundle

Otherwise, I guess wait for sale unless there is something you really, really want.

saving mine for clan heroes and sales

[kapusta11]

If you don't know what to spend them on now - dont spend them at all. There might be hero mechs, colors or mechbay sale, wait for it, maybe you'll find something that interests you by then.

[TexAce]

There are also the XP->GXP conversions you can pay for if you need GXP.

[Amer]

You should only buy Mastery Packs in case there's no sale.
Else wait for a 50% off sale for heroes or mechbays.

I've been waiting for a TBR Hero (bounty hunter pretty plox) for months! And I already have two "special" variants of a timberwolf.

[JudgeDeathCZ]

spend all for mechbays but w8 for 50% sale.You will need them...a lot

[Dukat281]

Mech bays, colors, one-shot-camo, and a set of warhorns.

But hey, if you got money, spend your money on other stuff as well. The game won't survive with penny-pinchers alone.

If it was me with those mechs and MC, I would hit the In-game store and not the Steam one, and get a third Hunchback and Cataphract for Mastery/Module Unlock.

The rest of the MC I would save for mechs, gxp conversion, or mechbay sale.
