Am I the only one excited for this? I can put this stuff on my hero mechs for a whopping 40% c-bill boost. Running premium time and getting a really high score you could clear nearly 1million cbills in a game. (my highest is 689,000 cbills)

at most you'd get 700-800 K if you absolutely kicked the red teams ***.

That's still alot of cbills. You could run those cockpit items on a hero mech without premium time and get premium time cbill bonus almost. So like a permanent premium time in other words.

Indeed it does. Every little bit of cbill bonus you can squeeze out will make you richer over the long term.

I would much much prefer these over modules as a preorder bonus.

To those who wanted to pay for a C-Bill bonus mech for any mech in the game at a lower % than 30 (this has been talked about in many threads from the past), here's your chance.

The only catch is having to swap those items around... but cheapskates have optimized swapping stuff around (intended as a joke ppl, not a stab at Russ... we're done beating the dead horse).

Shame they dropped premium time from these pre-orders.

[Fearlanghen McHaggis]

I know they have not had (to my knowledge) any hanging or standing items unique to only Clan chassis or I.S. chassis but the way they list it makes it look like I need to buy both ultimate packs to get IS and clan XP/c-Bill items.

Am I just paranoid? I just don't want that annihilator...

You still get Prem time, only from the Collector's packs though. It's immediately active though, not banked like it used to be.

Oh word.

Sounds like they'll work out better than the Loyalty items Project Phoenix items did.

Considering it helps you master out any mech slightly quicker, nets you more gxp and make slightly more c-bills to pay for equipment on the ones you aren't currently touching (at least in the current system)...

I'd say yeah, infinitely better than Faction points.
