Look on the bright side, once you get a collection of new tech weapons and engines there probably won't be any more major expenses for another year or two outside of farming new mechs.

Lol - so relate... think I had over 350m went below 280m... the CW Event helped keep me away from the mech lab... and helped me make back some of them cbills

Edit: i made back around 20m from the CW so far and it's saved me countless cbills as mostly using existing mechs and tech.

I've spent about 250 mil upgrading most of my IS mechs, and will probably spend another 250 mil before I'm done. Good thing I saved it up beforehand....

I can't help you folks... Since the new tech patch i have spend the whole 80M C-bills i was saving for the patch. Posted Image

I still have something like 5 assault mechs to upgrade and it will be OK i think.

I have sell some old standard engines, though.

Been saving since the skills tree patch. Went through 70 million building my drunken hero purchases, Another 15 million building out a few mechs that I feel just ought to be better with new tech but probably won't be: Blacknight (cuz why not, I have 6 of em), a Panther that just seemed wrong, and a Cataphract 3D that still isn't right . That leaves me with 70 million to rebuild maybe 10-12 more mechs (at the rate I've been going most re-builds have been ~ 5-6 mill, if I am buying LFE as well as new tech weapons).

Playing mech legos is expensive fun. Thankfully most of my builds probably aren't going to change so hopefully the spending spree will come to a halt soon.

I had over 800 million c-bills, right now i'm sitting at around 750 million.

Would happily give them all away for a Scorpion.

I have so little Cbills to spend on new weapons, because most of what I earn per match goes to funding the stupid skill tree node payments.

I'd only gotten around 21 mill saved before the patch. And I'd gotten another 6.5 mill with the Uziel pack my brother had gotten. Down to 9 mill. : /

It went to good use. Purchasing LFEs that are already seeing use via swapping across multiple mech. Still trying to decide on whether I need an LFE for my Banshees. Disappointed in my purchase of UAC2s.

Think I've spent about 70 million of my 160 million I had pre-patch.

Very glad I didn't give in on some of my impulse purchases of mechs.
