I meant, once you have King Crab, how much cbills you get from selling it.

Because I only wanted to try it if the total costs are not too expensive. Main thing I wanted to compare, both AC20 and AC5&UAC5 because IS fires one projectile instead of several, and IS UAC5 has no ghost heat so you can fire all 4 and doubletap them immediately for a pretty nice alpha with nearly no heat at all. I wanted to try if it's as amazing as it sounds like, together with much butter torso twitch.

I know equipment like weapons and engines always sells for 50% of nominal price so you can count that. Anyway I realized I can check it myself from PTS. The chassis sells for about 2.9 million, and equipment sells for 2 million. With a buying price of about 6.6 million thus you lose 1.7 million in trying it out. That's about 17 games for me so I'll go ahead and buy it.

It's.... unpredictable in the quad UAC5 build... you basically should assume never to have more than 3 firing if you button mash. The macro guys might have a trick to keep from jamming but I've always had to accept that I'll probably jam at the worst possible time which is why I'll avoid them unless their is a jam quirk on the mech.

Yes, but it's not much different than dakka Dire or Kodiak 3 in that way.

[MovinTarget]

there are plenty of differences from my perspective... I'll use 2-4 UAC10s so yeah they'll jam, but when they don't jam they do a lot more damage.

I have my mouse sensitivity dialed down which helps mitigate the spread...

I mean, it you are looking to buy a KGC on sale just so that if you hate it, you can sell is an minimize the pain... go for it, just saying it's a different beast from those clan builds. You really have to get used to the low, wide firing lines from your claws...

The Urbanmech is so cute like a cookie I want to gobble up. Tempting to buy them and use them as UrbanTrollMech. Too bad there aren't any rainbow, sunshine, unicorn, ice cream cone, tiny care bear, and cloud decals so that I could fancy them up with i.e. Sarah's Jenner stylized. Guess I'll have to stick to Buccaneer paint job and pray for rainbows later.

Very nice 35% off c-bill sale. I'll be waiting for clan mechs to go on sale though. I'm dreaming about Linebackers and Marauder IIC's.

I have seen urbies effecrively painted up to be minions from "Despicable Me" if that floats your boat...

Looks like this ended early...?

Several of those are decals though, there's a could with a lightning bolt coming from it and there's at least one teddy bear I can remember. There's quite a few 'cutsie' style decals. That being said, I picked up an Urbie and painted it black and white and put a few yellow stars on it. I'll have my police mech now, dammit.
