Im beginning to think about what kind of cbill funds one would need to customize all the mechs that will be delivered in October?

I'm talking upgrades (endo, dubs, Artemis, FF), engines, and weapons. For overlord purchasers there are 12 mechs to play around with and kit out. In my mind this is huge and will take an obscene amount of cbills to customize all of them.

I have a few spare engines but not anywhere remotely close to cover the Phoenix mechs. Weapons I'm not worried about, I have a ok stockpile and I imagine there will be enough weapons on the stock mechs to go around.

But the upgrades tab items, I am thinking will be anywhere from 24-30 million. With engine customizations I am thinking the sky is the limit.

I have been on a 2 million/day goal since June. The economic changes that came with 12v12 has made this a bit trickier goal to meet every day.

Is there anyone out there who has a plan?

Elite cents firts, then save up a huge pile of money, and that's about it, really.

Knowing the ammount of cbills I will need is going to be huge, I've essentially stopped buying/upgrading mechs since I bought the Phoenix package and have just been eliting everything that I already own in an effort to build up funds.

Seeing as you can only ready four mechs, you should have all the engines down by now.
From memory I've got something like 4 of STD280, 260, 300. 1xSTD320, 330, 340. Have about 3xXL300, 1xXL320, 330. 3xXL350 (for my Victors) and 1 each of XL 360, 370, 380. Yeah my engines are set.

The only thing needed for each and every mech is DHS+endo. If I allow 3.5 mil for those upgrades thats 12x3.5 mil. So I'd need 42 mil to upgrade all of them all at once. Got 50 mil sitting in the bank now.

Edit: don't forget that you can sell all the engines and unwanted gear from those mechs too. First thing I do is strip any new mech down and usually sell the engine.

going by smurfys your looking at around 6mil cbills to outfit a battlemaster from a stripped chassis(std engine). if you need to save up cbills just play a mech you like and quit buying more mechs/weapons.

I have 85 million C-Bills. I should be good till the Orion hits. If not, I should have 100 million by October for these.

[Hexenhammer]

I wont be selling the mechs but I will be stripping them down to help fund my builds.

I usualy strip down mechs but I do not sell engines bcuz they should be useful.I never thought I have to buy xl 245 for ravens or 235 for BJs but still they was useful and who knows when I will need those useless 270 from Highlanders bcuz that mech will have 270 max eng rating .

I'm guessing around 60mil
