Does Premium Time and Hero Mech/Omnimech bonuses work in FP?

[Alexandra Hekmatyar]

Yes.
I think it should be stated at your results at the end of the match.

So I will use Hero Clan Mechs/Omnimechs to improve my bottom line.

Do note that in invasion you will get the hero/(C)/(S)/®/(L) variant bonus for the whole match,
but
you will only get a fraction depending on the number of hero mechs in your dropdeck:
(number of hero mechs)/4

To fully benefit, you would need 4 mechs with a bonus.

Ofc, in scouting, dropping with a single hero always provides the full bonus.

[justcallme A S H]

Need to run 4 Heros to get the full bonus.

Otherwise it scales if you only bring 2 or 1 etc.

I wouldn't be worried about payouts for FP if you haven't play the mode. Worry about it once you break 1,000 damage game in/game out.

Premium Time gives 10% bonus to Loyalty Points too, not many people notice that.

If I skill and optimize my Kit Fox Hero Omnimech( Purifier), buy the D Omnipods for the Sun Spider Vanquish, I could field two ECM Hero Omnimechs.

ECM is overrated.

[Dirt Devil1]

The C and D pods are not available for c-bill purchase for the Sun Spider.

I would have to buy the Standard Clan Pack at $20 and a Reinforcement Pack at $15 to get the D Ballistic arm and ECM torso omnipods.

not completely true, in matches vs potatoes it makes you completely invisible, like a ghost on the field

It is overrated, yet still helpful and thus worth the investment, I dare say

But against legitimate players? That's a waste of 1t.

I prefer another DHS for higher rate of vomit.

I want to avoid as much attention as possible until we get in range to push or they reach our firing line.

The difference in 1 heat sink is meh, but in faction play during an event like this - 98% of the enemy will be potato, making the cloak of invisibility worth it.

I have stood directly in front of enemies and they walk past or turn away not realizing i'm there - no red doritto no enemy lol.

Can't speak more truth than that. Probably am too lazy to switch the DHS for an ECM huhu.
