Just an idea or at the least a idea based in a question.

Why isn't a mech bay included in the purchase price of any of the hero mechs?

I personally know of one other game that sells a similar product that gives the bay slot as a part of the purchase price. Whether or not you have no slots open or 12 the extra bay slot is included as a part of the purchase price. There may be others, there may be others that use this "model" I can only speak of what I know personally.

It just seems right as someone is spending thousands of MC on a mech that the bay should be included as well. Like I said I know the one game that I know of that has a very similar system includes an extra slot in the purchase.

Im curious as to how it works if someone purchases the hero mech and does NOT have an availible mech bay or the MC to purchase one.

Just to confirm today, you have to purchase a mech bay to be able to even have the ability to purchase a hero mech. For the prices a mech bay should be included I would think

Is this a case of working as intended?

[Evilsmirk]

That's actually a "wow it isn't like that" moment for me.

Good someone sees this trouble too.

i think its not too much to give a mechbay free for the Heromechs.

[El Penguin]

I also think it should give a free mechbay when purchasing a hero mech. Would also help lower the cost of hero mechs indirectly which I think are a bit pricey.

Any input on this from others?

[Alfred VonGunn]

And the difference in them doing this and upping the hero mech price 300 MC vs just leaving it as is and letting you buy the mechbay separately is what really? 10 seconds of your time vs more of theirs to re code it?

Alfred, the point of the post is that the mech bay should come as a part of the purchase price. To tell someone that in order for you to spend 5200 MC with us you have to spend an additional 300 MC to even get started is counter productive. Makes no sense what so ever. Especially when in other platforms when you purchase a "premium" vehicle that no matter how many "bays" you have open be it none or 23 a bay is added when you make your purchase. You can't even purchase a hero mech without having bought a mech bay prior to it. Idealy the act of purchasing an item should be facilitated to be as easy for the customer as possible. I have both the hero mech's currently. Im sure I will purchase more. I have WAY more mech bays than two people probably should. It's not a case of not wanting to spend money only an opinion on what I personally feel should be included.

I'd like to see it such that any mech, hero or no, purchased with MC comes with a free mechbay slot, and its only when you buy with CBIlls that you have to have a 300 MC purchased bay once you get past your free 4 bays.

Free mech bay should be included with buying a Hero mech. Easy fix and happier "paying" customers.

They should probably give some bonus mech bays for each MC package to facilitate buying mechs and not just slots.
