So, any recommendations from these:
HGN-732B, CTF-0XP, PNT-10P, ENF-4P, GHR-5P, ZEU-5S, several Blackknights and Crabs, Top Dog
Of this sale, these are the chassis I don't own yet. I don't need more mechs, just unsure if I maybe miss something nice.

Thoughts about Drop Decks? Hmm...

I'd say 50% Off would be good?

It'd have to be 66%, or I can't buy one. (I'm poor)

I'm also on the Poor side for (MC) right now, too. I just didn't think PGI should undercut themselves too heavily. Therefore, 50% Off is about the maximum that I ever think to request, and only on the really steep stuff.

<<<snip>>>

I will never, ever, EVER buy one until they do go on sale. I refuse to pay the price they are asking.

I know this feeling all too well. Unless I end up with like 10000 (MC) to spare, anything more pricey than 50% Off is outside of my league. Heck, I'm surprised they don't give an Ultra-Rare Voucher in a Supply Cache to unlock one of these, or at least a comparable free 1200 (MC) in order to provide for Unlocking a Drop Deck as an option.

I'd probably recommend you to get these: HGN-732B (really good armor quirks for a 90 ton assault) and a Crab (great hitboxes).

I have to say, as much as i like all the sales, C-Bill poverty keeps me away from buying things these days. Especially Packs with 3 or more chassis. C-Bill sink in leveling plus customizing is way to high for me. I understand that there has to be a grind aspect but for my tastes with the new skill system it's way too high.

I will get to those Mechs as I am working my way Backwards through the Database.

Ah, the 10 extra spare MechBays I bought this week will be put to good use then :-)

Hey PGI - there's been 3 mech sales in 3 weeks.

I'm BROKE. Can we have another cbill event to go with this one? Cripes.

Yeah, I shed 20% of my funds, too.

[Marius Evander]

I cant understand getting CBILL capped....... I only ever get XP or Mech bay Capped.

HGN i dont like them. yuk, yuk, enf-4p ac20 4 med pulse, the mounts are very low, ghr-5P is a MRBC comp er ppc poptart, it also does laser vomit ok. Zeus-5s is decent in solaris 1v1 mode but weak in 12 v 12 QP compared to other similar options. Black Knights, 6B is the only one that PGi haven't made trash, its playable laser vomit. crab are decent 6 medium laser brawlers, or 5 med pulse, the crb-20 has a higher engine cap than the others and is the one i own.

I am broke at the moment. I do not feel too bad though. I am only buying Hero Mechs/Omnimechs( excluding the Blood Asp Standard Pack)once the disposable income tree comes back to life. It will be a while as I have 3-5 left to skill counting my MDD-BA Bandit.

With all this military spending I feel like President Reagan during the Cold War.

Thank you SO MUCH!

Will save some c-bills for those, then. I've had them on my wishlist for a long time. Gotta catch'em all!

[No One Lives Forever]

There are so many sales all the time, it all feels..cheap. Is PGI getting really desperate for money/no one plays the game anymore or what do you think?

[Zh0u]

Yay, no Iv4 again.

[Mikayshen]

Still hoping that there's a sudden announcement for a Double XP weekend starting at 5pm PST today. Hoping, hoping, hoping.

[Eagle_Owl_Kr]

No Jager-DD sale for several sale events... why?

Please read the thread... Matt has posted twice now that more sales are coming, and that he's doing them in a specific order (going back through database row IDs). He will get to your mechs in time; the whining is not helpful.

[D V Devnull]

Well, I finally got a moment to stop and check out the Sale. I'm too short on (C-Bills) to do anything that I could have intended, and found out some of the Mechs were not what I was looking for anyway. I'll have to look forward to the next Sale, sadly.

Also, I can't come up with a good build for a UM-R63... I want Full Jumpjets, DHS, plenty of ER Smalls, 1 RAC5, plenty of speed, and near-max armor... But I keep ending up on the 060-Model Engine every time I try to figure it out. *facedesk*

While I'm pretty sure your exact request is impossible, you should ask 006Jerry about Urbanmech builds. He has plenty of them.

[Marius Evander]

I take back what I said about the 6B. its as trash as the rest, i forgot its structure not armor.

[Wing Gundam Zero Custom]

Don't get why you guys don't just set different sale values for some mechs so they'd sell back at a negative not a plus.
Dumb and ******** mc scaling aside should have 50 or higher sale for assaults in regards to MC.
Should sale mc colors for creds

Should actually do something interesting event wise... Like have a match score of X while staying under X amount of damage or have a silly stupid high awesome reward for a high score not counting damage done.
Cool challenges like kill a mech with over ride on at over 100% heat.
Do X damage to enemy team via bumping or jumping on them.
Kill a mech with only and only one weapon equipped
Win a match without taking even a single step moving foward in a urbie so backwards movement ONLY
Shoot down over 1000 missiles in a match

[Mikayshen]

So what's on sale next?

Lemme guess, you've got a frag-ton of (C-Bills) to burn? Any chance the rest of us could have some Events with Good Rewards like...

• Loads of (C-Bills)
  
• Loads of (MC)
  
• Some "Hanging Cockpit Items"
  
• Some "War Horns"

...all in the same Event before we have another Sale? I'm freaking tapped out here, just working from one (C-Bills) paycheck to another!!! Heck, I think I can be reasonably certain that a lot of people are tapped out for (C-Bills) at the moment.
