Jenners (and Jenner IICs the Clan versions) don't have Omnipods as they are standard Battlemechs.

Are you using a Jenner IIC or the IS one? Also, if you are using a Jenner IIC are you using the 2/3/4 one?

I have the JR7-D and the JR7-F how can i purchase the IIC model i didn't see it in the store forsale?


Those are normal Inner Sphere jenners, the IIC Jenner is from the IIC pack only and can be purchased here: https://mwomercs.com/origins

Real money only at this time, per the FAQ: Jenner IIC (all variants): January 19th for MC and February 16th for C-Bill

If your wanting a quick review, I bought the entire IIC lineup and I love them all, so its worth the cash in my opinion, but if you just want the Jenner, it is the cheapest tier of the pack Posted Image

As for builds for the Inner sphere jenners, you can find some on this list towards the bottom: http://metamechs.com...se/light-mechs/

I personally have no experience building those so maybe someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly to help with that :)

IIC mechs are not offered in the in-game store as they are a pre-order item at the moment. They will be made available in due time.

IIC mechs are just like any other clan mechs. You can use any mech in Quick Play, but for Faction Warfare you can only use IIC mechs if you are on the Clan side (Smoke Jaguar, Ghost Bear, Jade Falcon or Wolf)

The way they monetize this game is having a pre-order system for new mechs. Basically paying customers take them for a spin first, then eventually they are released for c-bills and MC as individual purchases. Essentially you are paying for early access to new chassis, keeps the servers running. Pre-ordering comes with early adopter rewards if you do so soon enough, the only pack with early adoption rewards right now is the Archer pack.

So in short, IIC mechs are only available to people who buy the pack I linked earlier. Luckily the game has a rather large stable of mechs available for c-bills, and many of them are pretty awesome chassis, so you won't be without options if you choose to play for free, you just have to wait a bit for the new shiny stuff.

If you buy a mech pack on the website, the mechs are injected into your account at 4 PM PST on the next business day. They run a script that delivers everyones purchases at that time, although I have heard of others getting theres earlier than that.

Essentially if you were to buy the pack now, you would get it sometime tomorrow.

The ingame mastery packs are injected instantly, but IIC are not available in the ingame store right now.

The injection thing is a bit weird honestly, not sure why they do it that way, but it may be for technical reasons.

I agree it could be more clear. I had to google all this stuff when I started, and dig through old reddit posts, so I struggled as well.

Weirdly the only mech pack page that lists the time for injection is Clan Wave 1, I think it should be clearly posted on all of them, but perhaps I am missing it.

People on this forum have been very helpful to me though, and I am sure they will answer any questions you have!

Just to confirm and make sure things are simple...

- Jenners and Jenner IIC are similar, but not the same. One is Inner Sphere, the other is a Clan retrofit.
- They are both battlemechs, which mean no omnipods. Only omnimechs get omnipods.
- The Jenner IIC is available for cash-purchase only at this time, and you will be able to purchase it for C-Bills starting on Feb.16th.
- If you purchase the Jenner IIC for cash at this time, you will receive it within the hour in your account.
- Similarly, all mechs are cash-only when they are first introduced for two months before they are available for C-Bills in game. Pay-2-early-access.

OmniMechs are the ones that can have side torsos, legs and arms switched out with another part taken from another variant of the same OmniMech. Currently that's every single clan mech that isn't a IIC.

Without being at a computer with MWO installed I can't tell you. But if you go to http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/ they have a list of all mechs available in MWO. Play around in the MechLab on there and you can check if a mech that catches your eye is an omni or not.

Edit: Or just click on OmniPods on that site, which takes you to a list of all available OmniPods for each OmniMech.
