So I'm thinking this route, but I'm surprised that an Atlas II Mech is so inexpensive at only 11,198,000 C-Bills. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong Atlas?1x Atlas II Assault Mech- 11,198,000 C-Bills4x Axel Main Battle Tank - 5,519,252 C-Bills8x Inner Sphere Standard Battlearmor - 3,200,000 C-Bills1x Heavy LRM Carrier - 2,940,000 C-BillsTotal - 22,857,252 C-BillsRemainder - 2,142,748 C-BillsThoughts?

I am liking this force, lots of close range punch and that is indeed the correct Atlas. It uses a standard engine and am not sure if it uses endo steel which both would slash the cost.

Here's my Capellan-inspired roster.5,537,400 C-bills - Catapult CPLT-K4 (An upgrade of the prototype K3, this Kuritan variant carries twin Heavy PPCs and ER Medium Lasers, along with seventeen double heat sinks which do an admirable job keeping heat levels down, and a C3 Slave Unit to share targeting telemetry. Built on a standard internal structure and using twelve and a half tons of Light Ferro-Fibrous armor, the designers were forced to use a downgraded Magna 195 fusion engine instead of the normal 260, giving this design a top speed of 56 km/h and a jumping capacity reduced accordingly to ninety meters.)1,436,000 C-bills - Po Heavy Tank (LB 10-X variant)1,436,000 C-bills - Po Heavy Tank (LB 10-X variant)1,436,000 C-bills - Po Heavy Tank (LB 10-X variant)3,555,125 C-bills - Brutus Assault Tank (PPC variant)3,555,125 C-bills - Brutus Assault Tank (PPC variant)4,800,000 - Fa Shih Battle Armor x12 (three platoons of four men each)Total - 21,755,650 C-billsRemaining - 3,244,350 C-bills

I suppose I did not say but I was planning for the starting year of the RP to be 3067. The stuff you have from over that year if you can justify it in your character background once I get the OOC up you can probably write it out as prototype or trial models you got your hands on since it is all close to the start year though your early maintenance costs would be a bit higher than usual.

I am thinking that the first big operation will be like 5 million per company sized formation per week and 50% salvage rights
