From 452 days into the campaign (the 3rd bay recently brought online and some old mechs broken out of storage).
On a side note, I've taken the habit of renaming modified mechs by adding the name of the pilot I've assigned and customized them to, which makes a whole bunch of them sound like Pacific Rim Jaegers now: Wolverine Roadrash, Highlander Dynamite, Battlemaster Glitch, Trebuchet Animal, and my personal favorite, Orion Saber.

Holy, 1.2 million c-bills per month? You have to jump from contract to contract to somehow manage that right?
Holy shit. How many hours a day are you playing to achieve that in less than a week?These are the ones I have ready:
And these are some of the ones in storage:
Man I'm jealous now
I have only a few hours yet, will be June before I'll be able to sink some serious time into this game. Can't make a screenie of the mechbay right now, but besides the centurion that comes with the Argo, I have a Jenner and both jaegermech variants...
Guess I can stop putting off that War Council now (probably should put that Quickdraw and Dragons in storage already):
Whoops! I think I misclicked when choosing my budget for that month - it should just be normal.
But yeah, it usually means knocking out two or more contracts per world before moving on, and I definitely can't afford failure soon after ordering a major upgrade for the Argo.
Granted I haven't played as much as a bunch of you apparently but wow. Where are you finding some of these mechs?? I've just picked up a jagermech as salvage that's my 2nd heavy . Rest are mediums and lights...very poor showing compare to you lot
Well, I hopped around to Weldry by way of Joppa And Cluff's Stand at first, and stopped at every planet on the way, grinding through every mission. I had a fairly high pilot an mech turn over rate, but ended up getting Wolverines and Shadowhawks an Griffins, at a rate where I'd scrape the ones that got mangled in combat an got a high enough mrcb rating that I was dealing in the occasional heavy after Weldry. Met my first Assualt at Brinton, and by week 47 I'm a few Jumps outta Artu with a Highlander a Banshee an a Zeus already.
I've tried Dragons and Quickdraws for brawling, but whilst the dragon did okay, I still love my Shadowhawks for my 'Lighter' flankers an brawlers. As for my thuderbolt, since someone mentioned... I go five lasers dual srm 4s and some flamers or mgs for the brawl, with jumpjets, tonnes of armour an a bit o' heat sinks. It's a pretty awesome brawler too. More of my main mech of the line, until I got the Banshee that is. That one's a beast, best used by someone with the seven piloting sprint boost.

I saw some pretty worlds (those with nice tags for shopping) in non-restricted space in the Taurian Combine. I jumped there went shopping, and saw a few contracts. I took those and got my initial heavies there and when I moved the story, went back there and got more pretty mechs. There are also some nice mods there.
Once you get through a chunk of the story you will probably fight your first Assault mech in a 3 1/2 star assassinate mission. A bit later on, you'll fight multiple assault mechs in 4 skull+ battle missions.
The highest number of assault mechs I've faced at once was 7 assault mechs (including a King Crab) and one heavy (an Orion). To spice things up, they all showed up at once. That was the most fun battle I've fought so far!
That was a 4 skull battle (probably with poor intel, as I've fought plenty of 4 1/2 and 5 skull battles subsequently and have faced nothing like it since.
