Are we supposed to spend those things? When you're in an acoin log jam of upgrades this happens... 3,747,038 credits.. Shoot . That’s right . I’m all about saving. I”m keeping 2 mil and 20k Acoins in the piggy bank for the DL16 and MR12. I’ve been tempted to go ahead and max a few mechs, thus far I’ve resisted. I’ll spend anything above that but I love knowing I’m ready to pounce when they become available. I'm saving credits and acoins to get Panther to max. Then I will slap my Railguns on him. After that I will save for the new toys, DL16 or MR12.

2 mil... 3mil... looks at own hamster bank with less than 100k savings... If you guys dont mind, can you let me know what PL level you are currently at and if DL8s are relevant at your level?

Remember, getting blue prints late is a challenge, they come slowly. It’s gives a person plenty of time to save. As for the DL8? I don’t have them so I can’t comment definitively. Well, other than they are 8 energy. I would probably focus on higher energy stuff seeing there are cheaper options at that power level, missile rack 8s and pulse cannon 8s.

Well, other than they are 8 energy. I would probably focus on higher energy stuff seeing there are cheaper options at that power level, missile rack 8s and pulse cannon 8s. Noted on the BP crawl. Regarding the DL8s, do you come up against any other players at your level? And if so, do you feel theyre effective? And we cant really compare the DLs to the PCs. Maybe a bit more comparable to MR8s but then anyone above 2k power level would have the MRs already and may need the DL for mixed builds? Like in the other thread, it got me thinking that 3 of my mechs (KS, Jugg, Zeph) will be soft capped at 20EN and on top of that duplicating the heavy weapons will take months to accomplish (w/o spending RM). My options are to mix 12+8 - CB12, DL12, RM12, MR8 10+8 - Arc10, MR8, LA10, LA8, PC8 So if i think about it, choices are quite limited that the adding DL8s to the mix might actually be a good idea. I find the damage output of PC8 to be too slow, which gives time to allow the cavalry or kill stealers to arrive.

I feel them but they don’t seem super impressive, the ai are using them at 5 stars now. I haven’t tangled w a max pair, at least I don’t think i have. Again, the up front cost would be the draw back for me. I skipped the carb 8 and did just fine w pulse cannons instead for that very reason. Btw your pulse cannons will get much better as you level them, if you go that route. I still use my missile racks and they are much cheaper, I’m sure someone who runs them will chime in.

Thanks for sharing. I did choose to invest on PC8 to bypass CB8. BPs are just trickling now, hope to get that accuracy boost soon! I'm at 2k now and those DLs hurt me like a big SOB on PMS on Prom Night
