I figure i would throw away 50$ and fulfill my curisity in certain mech builds.

What's the best mech to buy with MC and sell for Cbucks?

I srsly don't know why this game doesn't have a buy Cbills option or add MC prices to weapons etc, seems a bit silly IMO especially for a company like this that's only interested in the money.

AS7-K

Maybe because they are not just a "company interested in money" and do not want the game to be pay to win?

So that people, such as yourself cannot toss money into the game expecting to buy everything. MC to CBill balance is relativity similar. It is not worth your time to buy a mech and sell it for CBill. Spend your money on bays and keep the mechs you buy. End of story.

I wouldn't buy a Mech and just convert it to Cbucks - you lose so much in the conversion process. My advice, buy a Mech you're interested in, and just play. Getting Cbucks is easy...you just play the game and have fun. Eventually, you'll get enough money to outfit it the way you want.

Ditto on waste.. use to be able to sell it for half of its worth stripped... now it's about a third

So no grind for every part means Pay to Win?
Buddy you need to be educated.

I mean, you can toss money at the game and buy all the equipment you could ever dream of, but that does not make it pay to win.

For that to be the case, X equipment would have to be universally better on the mech you bought with money, compared to the same exact layout another play bought through playing the game. Ultimately, the more skilled pilot will win, regardless of mech configuration.

And yes, the Atlas AS7-K would be your best option for MC to C-Bill conversion, although its not a good rate.

I agree that mech bays are a better use of MC, however its his money. You spent $120 for some founder mechs and to have your name in the credits.

This game is not pay-to-win. It's pay to save time. That's all.

I would suggest to buy the Yen Lo Wang, it's a money maker. You only need to get used to the AC20 but then you make C-Bills like you would print them yourself.

[Aidan Malchor]

If you want a boost to Cbill income you could buy Yen-Lo-Wang. Nothing special about that variant except a 30% boost for Cbill income.

[Vassago Rain]

You're wasting an immense amount of money by selling the mechs.

Buy the ones you want instead.

[Fiatsu]

Bought and sold the Atlas-K
Terrible conversion rate, but it got me the XL engine i wanted so meh.

Unless they release new mechs/ maps within a week then my time with this game is done.
Only a handful of variants interest me and pwning with my SRM and Gauss Kat is fun but gets old when i'm on top of the list each match.

trying out a Cicada now.

Zombie Wang brings home the money.

[New Breed]

You really should have bought the wang with that.

If you can play I'd invest only in premium time and mechbays if you need them.

Waste MCs only in unique/hero variants that will come (worth it.. the YLW isn't), spending MC in normal mechs and then selling them is wrong, unless you have really few hours of gameplay to spend and you can't wait to afford the mech you want with cbills.
