Planning to fill up on 300, 325 and maybe some 250 and 280 LEs since I keep swapping those around.

I'll see if I have any leftover for a Faffy, an MCIIB, a Vapor Eagle (they are so hot right now!) and maybe a Bushwacker and a Spider V for capping fun.

i got me the 13 mechbay pack. i just bought 5 mechs that i sold before skill trees, yet they ranked high enough in my stats to justify their existence in my hanger. its on my ledger so i dont have to level it again. unfortunately it was a stormcrow, a pair of ice ferrets (beer fridges), an adder, and a gargoyle. not stuff id recommend for the uninitiated. there are much better mechs than those. its mostly to clean up my spreadsheets than anything.

im hesitant to buy mechs i havent leveled yet because im down to just a bit of gxp. but i dont have enough fafs, blood asps, sunspiders, or rifleman iics. i still have 16 spares so il figure something. as for engines i think i have several of every size and type, and i have so many cbills i never look before i buy them anymore.

The Standard Variants mechs of the MW5 pre-order mechs are pretty good:

~Catapult CPLT-C2
~Warhammer WHM-9D
~Marauder MAD-9M
~King Crab KGC-001

Also:
Kodiak KDK-3
Cyclops CP-11-P

Like others, have bought multiple Bundles of mechbays

I generally don't bother to buy engines; hard to know what engine sizes to stock up on...

But it's a happy problem when you are customizing your mech and it costs CBills!

Need a LFE for the Zeus-9S2 and several others

I cannot decide what to do with this Griffin-5M(L)

I need a better Assault from each side with what I want on them.

I'm not sure exactly what I'll be buying. I do know I want a Spider despite it being a pretty bad mech. Just once I want a mech with full JJ skill tree just for the hell of it, and having 8 JJ is going to be hilarious.

Beyond that I'd like to get a Marauder IIC, Rifleman IIC, Nova Cat, and maybe an Incubus and Dervish. Don't have nearly enough money for all of that though!

I expect to be low in T4 for awhile to level my new mechs.

Maybe get the V for the 80% cap rate? If you're just having fun might as well have some edge in cap games.

8?
Eight?

Pfft, why settle when you can get a Mech letting you have 10 or 12.

[crazytimes]

I bought an EBJ for laser vomit and a third Nightgyr because I wanted to have one for UAC, one for gauss and one for LB10s.

Nothing else really interests me at this point. Anything else I buy would be just to make the same load out on a different platform.

[Wildstreak]

Gah, I got 3 choices for a Clan Assault and none for IS.

[Trucker Wifey]

Wait, what mechs can mount that many!?

I know it won't be a "good" fighter. But I really want a mech that I max the jump skill tree out in just for the sake of doing so. Take it out once in a blue moon and sail over the entire enemy team. lol

Drop max artillery strikes on them while you're at it. I did that with my "Bomber Urbie" and I'd jump over a platform shooting down MGs while dropping arty on the enemy team. It was fun.

I just buy the biggest fastest engine i can fit with my build.. the cheaper engine prices should be permanent.. as it makes the game less grindy.

I bought like 8 mechs and engines
I bought

Kodiak 3
Huntsman Prime and P
Incubus 1
Vapor Eagle 3
Corsair 7A
Mad Cat II 2
Awsome 9M

And still considering a Hunchback and a Raven.

Spider-5V does 12.
Jenner-IIC-2 does 10.
After those there are several that do 8.

Oh sweet, I guess Spider-5V with this build then: SDR-5V

Pretty ridiculous build but it should be entertaining. Max out UAV, Arty Strikes, JJ Tree, and some survival/firepower/mobility.

I did pick up the Nova Cat B last night. Now I'll swap my MDD-RV to SRM brawl or ATM and let the Nova Cat be my one Clan LRM Mech.

Got on a 10 game losing streak trying to get my first win on my VGL-1
