Changes spotted in new PDX Stream

[P."Windfall"Bowman]

Ana Maria Centrella offered to make your payments on the Leopard for you. Convenient.

Convenient...
Sounds more like a "You ow me one" situation.

And if I remember correctly, she only took over the loan?
So the upkeep cost would still remain.

 

[Leith Maclaine]

Using the tech manual available at [Mod edit: Link to copyrighted material removed] sections starting at page 174 and page 274, plus the Leopard dropship page at Sarna, I come up with a cost for a Leopard of around 110 million C. Seems reasonable, about the cost of 10 assault mechs.

70K/month interest on 110M represents 0.0636%, or ~ 0.7% APR. Can I please get a mortgage from these loan sharks? They seem to be undercharging by a factor of 20 or so.

Note I'm not arguing for 1.4M / month interest payments, but as is, confiscating the Hysteria for defaulting on whatever loan has only a 70K monthly payment seems a bit like some bank taking my house over failure to pay the cable TV bill.

You are assuming the loan was for the full purchase price. The loan might have been for a much lower amount, for example to pay for repairs on the captured Leopard to make it functional. There may have been a massive downpayment. There may have been other collateral given, etc etc etc.

From what I've learned from shadowrun: There is no such thing as a milk run ;D

I knew a team that instantly doubled their asking price if the Johnson said the phrase "milk run".

Every time a 'Mech comes back clean, Kiva dies a little inside.

lol... it is so very hard to explain to folks around me why I actually laugh out loud sometimes. : )

Here's another change I forgot to mention. They updated some icons besides the MRB logo:

Don't explain. Just grin at them maniacally.

Unfortunately the Majesty Metals icon also shows up as the logo for the miners as well once they turn on you (they had a different logo when the are Allies).

One other thing, the pay for the MM mission is upped. You used to start the game with 682k, now you start with 821k.

Medusa has a new portrait:

That's a huge improvement from the previous iteration, which was charmless.

 

[Kereminde]

So, a polish pass!

Medusa has a new portrait:

That's a huge improvement from the previous iteration, which was charmless.

Also, Medusa's starting salary got fixed. It used to be 26,000, which was 1k less than it should have been for his stats.

Damn, there goes my big exploit! I had such plans for that 1k savings/month too lol

You... embezzled it?!?!?!

Getting Triple-F burgers from a reputable salesperson?

 

[AldathPDX]

Yes, I was quite pleased that he blew through that mission fast enough to leave enough time to see the finances and reputation screens.

I accepted the challenge and completed the mission in time! No matter how much a pesky bug (which was already reported, btw!) wanted to get in the way.
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SEE FINANCES AND REPUTATION, CARLOS GIVES THEM FINANCES AND REPUTATION!
