Some random suggestions that came up into two other threads that I'd like to expand upon.

The idea is that when you buy a hero mech it comes with its own mechbay slot. (only fair considering their price.) That hero mech cannot be taken out of that slot. A hero mech can be sold for a portion if not all of its original MC value taking the slot with it. This should probably also extend to any mech bought with MC.

Anyone who buys MC should also get some permanent bonus to their account like a free "premium mechbay" which allows any mech played from that bay to get a slight C-Bill/XP bonus while allowing mechs to be swapped out when not in game. Or else you could purchase "premium mechbays" for a price comparable to a hero mech for the same purpose, perhaps even buying camo schemes to follow the mechbay around to be applied to any mech in the bay for free. I honestly think add-ons like this will draw more sales than Premium Time because of their decidedly... permanent... nature.

I suggest this because personally mechs themselves feel too much of a temporary investment. Even the hero mechs which can be sold for C-Bills for some stupid reason.. I think a lot of people would much rather see their MC sit more permanently as assets in their account rather than disappear in a temporary short lived purchase. Bonuses for first time purchases are also an amazing way to boost sales, it worked wonders for Tribes Ascend (Permanent 50% XP boost anyone?).

This of course the opinion of a dirt poor student who can't justify buying stuff like Premium time or $30 mechs.
