(MA) How much is too much?

It really only comes into play against other maxed clans/opponents. A few of our guys have been very strictly focused on their main hangar and have items either maxed or on their way. It's worth it if the goal is to go against top clans. Take a Killshot, for instance, the extra Melee damage from 6/1 to 6/7, can really make or break an encounter. That extra sliver of health that a 6/1 would leave could mean the difference between a beacon getting snagged away from your team or a teammate getting flanked in TDM because you didn't take that Red out.

That said, I am leaving everything at 6/1 until I get all the items in my list that I want to be there... then I will focus on a select few to higher levels. 95% of the player population isn't going to need it, as things sit.

However... if global release brings in a bunch of players that buy their way to endgame hangars... then expect there to be more and more 6* hangars with the last levels being the deciding factor in many encounters. If you are happy with your hangar and have the resources, max it. If not, I don't think it will be a necessity till you have all that you want to get to 6/1, there.

IMO, YMMV

What everyone else has been saying.

6.1 to 6.7 requires just as much as bringing items through 1.1 to 5.7.

Out of the 2.6M credits listed as the total from 1.1 to 6.7, 1.6M of those credits are the last stretch of levels.

Unless you intend on going for clan battles, I'd say:

-All Mechs and heavy(single copy) weapons to 6.1.

-All double copy weapons (<8 EN) to 5.7.

If/when that point is reached, there won't be anything left for coins but bringing the weapons that come in duplicates to 6.1. Weapons that don't need 6.1 for the second copy don't get rank up boosts for 6.1, which is why they can sit at 5.7 until everything that does need 6.1 is out of the way.

Then it's just the credit endgame. With all of the things requiring coins complete, it becomes the only time where Coins to Credits won't be a detriment, especially if a floor of 10K coins are kept in reserve for new mechs/weapons.

I've upgraded R6 items in my main hanger to 6.3 and will go to 6.4 on highly valuable/prized items (looking at you Carb12s), but the cost growth is exponential and the output is not. Costwise though, 6.3 is not exorbitant. Even 6.4 isn't awful. I will see what 6-5 looks like next, but I see most of my hanger staying at 6.3 to 6.4 as an upper limit.

I'll vouch for this...he beat me fair and square in the tourney last week.  Not bitter







































Ok, maybe a little...
