For those of you who are receiving several million C-bills come the 18th. What are you spending it on? New robots? New modules? Upgrading and equipping your loyalty mechs? Are you just gonna roll around in it, like Scrooge McDuck, because you have nothing to spend it on?

I'm going to buy my third and final King Crab, since I just sold my Riflemen. Going to see if I can make it work with a slightly modified 'Clanbuster' set-up, from lore. Dual gauss, 1 LPL, 1 LRM15+Artemis and 2xSSRM2. Not exactly a great build, but it's always fun to make stock builds or lore builds work. If all else fails, I guess I'll try the PPC+gauss meta before energy draw ruins everything.

How about you?

EDIT: Forgot to ask about the 400 MC. I'm spending mine on decals, and also on camo patterns for my ugliest hero mechs / loyalty mechs.

Modules. I HATE having to swap out modules and with nearly 200 mechs it gets pretty pricey.

I'm going to hire a hot blond P.A who will remind me of all the important things in life, like flowers for the wife, while making my mid life crisis go into critical melt down.

Also to stop sitting on my lap and making me forget to switch to my main account when posting on the forums ( this is it b.t.w)

P.S after making a post like this my new P.A said she wouldn't make my morning coffee unless I pointed out to people that I am not Donald Trump

I am going to buy anoher XL engine for something I don't want or a pair of modules for something that looked fun at the time.

8 Million doesn't really go far.

Well your P.A. idea is certainly going to be more exciting, and potentially more useful than my new XL engine...especially when one considers that it is for an IS mech.

I'm going to spend it all on top quality Clan Diamond Shark products, of course!

Probably modules, but I might grab a few mediums, so that I can get them to elite levels.

Or I might instead get the last two Adders so that I have a complete collectionPosted Image (Gotta re-buy the A)

I just ground out a third Ice Ferret so currently sitting at a measly 1 million C-bills, I'll likely use my Mechtober money as PGI intended, to tweak and fix up my Loyalty 'Mechs. Beyond that after I grind the Loyalty 'Mechs from Basic to Master, start saying for Executioners I guess.

Um. I'm going to invest it I guess? Not much I want now, though some will get spent upgrading loyalty mechs and Huntsmen.

Nothing. I already got all the new C-Bills mechs I wanted, Kodiak and Rifleman, during the last event. Next mech I will buy with C-Bills must have high mounts as well--which will take a while judging from the line-ups for future release.


So I will be sitting on 50+ million C-Bills for a while.

Probably a third Commando.

That, or upgrades for my BJ-2 and Mascaphract. Stalker and Hellbringer will have to wait.

I'm sitting on my c-bills until a medium sale. We've had an Assault and a Heavy sale, mediums should be next. Gonna try to get some Griffins and Enforcers.

Posted Image you mean million... singular. I... I had better things to do, unfortunately. That does give me another 5% of the cost of another mech. Or... a few guns for the new mechs.

1 - Upgrading loyalty mechs

2 - radar dep and seismic for loyalty mechs

3 - buy a couple BJs to be able to master the BJ-2(L)

4 - Selling excess equipment i don't need (i.e. LRM10 on the SMN-F)

5 - Still need 2 King Crabs to master the 000B(S) but will probably hold off on that some more

6 - make it rain with whatever is left

You're going to change the glorious loadouts created by our mech engineers, and buy magical bonus items that make no sense? You disappoint me.
