Has it been bumped?

I just finished a game of Conquest... we won, I did about 400 damage, 6 assists, no kills sadly. All other things added up to about 140K c-bills. Founders though was about 65K bringing the total up over 200K c-bill. It was about the same ratio for XP as well...

This seems a heck of a lot higher then it used to be... we at least since the inadvertent founders bonus nerf with RnR removal. Anyone else notice the founders bonus has been nerfed, or would 65K on top of 140K been correct pre-patch?

The premium time bonus is +50% XP and CB, so 65k sounds about right for roughly 140k earnings.

Founder's bonus (for running a founder's 'mech) is +25% CB.

Sorry for asking this, as I just joined a month ago... but do the founders get this 50% bonus all the time? No matter what mech they pilot?
Or is it only when using the Founders mechs?

And I assume this also stacks with premium bonus, so they get 100% cbill and xp bonus?

No, the founder's bonus is only tied to the founders mechs and it is only 25% bonus to cbills. The premium bonus (that everyone can get) is 50% bonus to cbills and XP.

I edited while you were typing. The founders do not have any inherent bonuses; only when piloting a founder 'mech do we get an additional +25% CB (it's like piloting a Hero 'mech, only that gives you +30% CB).

AFAIK the +25% from being in a founder 'mech does indeed stack with premium time, as does the Hero 'mech bonus (and premium time, of course, isn't exclusive to founders).

founders bonus is 25% not 50% and only applies to c-bills not xp. 50% is premium bonus.

In the end, you can get a "better" founders mech by buying any hero mech. They work in much the same way, think of a founders mech as a "worse" hero mech.

Hero is 30%, founders instead is 25%

You get the 50% bonus any time on any mech by buying Premium Time. Just click on the "ADD TIME" button on the main screen (note this requires MC to buy Premium time, and you have to spend real cash to buy MC) Anyone can do that, Founders or not.

The Founders mech gets an additional 25% bonus, but only when using the founders mech.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification.

I knew about premium time, but as I was late to the party I wasn't sure exactly what bonuses founders get and how it works. Cheers.
