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

Let's be honest, if you have enough left after those upgrades for the loyalty mechs, you'll run out of the money you got from the event after one or two modules and have to grind for the rest of that list.

Already sitting on millions, this'll just add 10 more to that pile.

One

Module

[Mole]

Currently on a crusade to outfit all my 'mechs with their own suite of modules. So, it will be going toward modules. Modules for my Centurion, to be more precise. It's my Centurion's turn for a module makeover.

[BlueFlames]

Well, I've got 15mil in the bank and another 10mil coming on patch day. I'll probably save 10-12mil for the next time Blackjacks are on sale, so that I can buy two companions for the loyalty variant. I already bought and configured two Cataphracts, when heavies were last on sale. The rest is likely to be sunk into weapon modules and engines (and maybe omnipods?) to reduce the amount of juggling I have to do and increase the number of mechs I can have simultaneously ready for combat.

Depending on how heavily skewed the queues become toward mediums, with the BJ-2 and Huntsman dropping on Tuesday, I might immediately configure and begin leveling my Cataphracts. Given there's also a Loki and two Thors among the loyalty mechs, though, I may wind up having to wait for a more opportune time to begin that process.

[Weaselball]

Probably nothing right away. I've got just about all the mechs I want right now, and none of the soon-to-be-cbill-released mechs excite me in any way. I'm already sitting on like 30 mil after some random impulse buys (Griffin 2N, I'm looking at you) and I've got 2 sets of radar derp/seismic modules + weapon modules.

I GUESS I could go for set 3 and 4 to load out a dropdeck, but really, faction warfare has absolutely no appeal to me whatsoever.

The Griffin 2N is a beast. ECM, SRMs, and the enemy's squishy, squishy back armor make for a lot of high-kill matches.

Well 7.2m from this event (I missed the first day because time zone error on my part) and 2m from loyalty, so 9.2m total. I'll buy a module...just one, since it's not enough to buy two.

Just bought my other two Blackjacks today, so I'm all set there. Bought my Hellbringers while they were on the heavy sale. Not sure about Cataphracts, and I didn't spend the big bucks for the bigger rewards (Stalker looks good, but not worth an extra $60, could get Summoners for $40, but...Summoners, so blergh).

Oh no doubt. I enjoy it a lot. I just have SO many other mechs, and other mediums, that I both like and still need to elite out that it made that purchase sort of a one-off.

That's the poorest life decision i've heard in awhile, i wish you luck in your endeavor.

[Dee Eight]

XL engines...along with the 6.5 million from my early adoption of huntsman. I am of the opinion that speed to get into/out of situations is more important that an extra gun.

The event caps out on 8m due to math, not 10m.

Some combination of 295XL, PHX-3S or Viper-C.

event caps out at 8m, loyalty reward program gives 2m. that's 10m, i can math.

Meh. It's easier to spend 12m on 2 modules than it is to get 10m.

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.

To be fair, I never run the default loadout. What's the point of being affluent enough to own all of these machines if I can't do what I want? Besides, shouldn't the Diamond Shark maintenance techs be happy for the work and pay I give them when I have a mech reconstructed (or repodded in the case of an omni)?


But I don't know what I'll do with the dough. I got 11 million just from playing the event. Tacking on the 5 mill or so, and the 2 mill from the event, I think I might buy, kit, and master a new mech, since I'm not feeling the cyclops.

gotta master em all. thats the only for cbill mech i dont have in my stable.

[Navid A1]

By millions of cbills, you mean 8 millions only?

Well... nothing, it just adds up to a pile of hundreds of millions I have with nothing to spend it on.

modules?
well... 90+ radar derps, about 80 seismics and a crap ton of weapon modules are doing fine for me.

I... WANT... MCs!

[jjm1]

my 3rd warhawk, my 3rd Stormcrow, 3 Ebon Jags and mechbays, camo and modules for all of it.

Oh wait... 8 million. I'll probably blow it all on summoner omnipods I'm too lazy to take off my other summoners.
