i also think it would be nice if i could convert the pay cash back into the free and have both trade-able along with cosmetic items, deployables, and even mechs them selves

I say no as well. Currently you can already unlock all gameplay altering equipment without meteor credits.

I'd like converting MC to HC, but not HC to MC. MC is the developer's main source of income.

I did not read the  majority of posts in here cause I'm playing jenga with  friends BUT i like this idea, even if it's a ridiculous ratio because it would allow you to fill in the MC point gaps between purchases.

For example buying a skin and having 136 points left over or some other amount you can't do anything else with.

You would then be able to dump a bunch of HC to MC to get back up to a useful amount and not waste that 136 mc on nothing

I would say that we should not be given the ability to convert our hawken credits to meteor credits. I say this because a major way that the devs are making the money to continue working on this game is through the sale of meteor credits. If you allow people to use their HC to get meteor credits, then they lose some of that potential revenue.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind being able to trade in my 100k+ excess hawken credits for meteor credits, but there is no really good way to do so without robbing the developers of possible financial capital.
Plus, they already give you 400 MC for just playing the game for an hour. That's generous enough, as far as I'm concerned.

NOtard reportin in.

MC to HC Now that's a much better idea, curse them odd credits...

how much does it cost to maintain servers_ keep producing content/patches_
At which point does the free to play part of the user base transition from being a benefit to being a burden_
IDK, I'm not bean cruncher...
But someone's gotta keep the lights on and broadly speaking it's only the camo coated 'vanity parade' visibly pulling that share of the load. Once you remove that point of pride then what...

If you asked. me I'd be happy see paint jobs needing (ahem) 'regular' maintenance ABBSOLUTELY NOT LINKED TO DAMAGE SUSTAINED, MATCHES PLAYED OR CALENDER DAYS  - combat minutes hours would be fair though...  
AND THINK ABOUT IT...  BRAND NEW/FRESH PAINT JOBS WOULDN'T NEED TO HAVE ANY OF THAT CRAPPY 'WORN LOOK' GOIN ON! eh_ eh_

"Ahhh..   edge to edge colour... gleaming chrome... shutlines you could catch a pube in... that concourse condition, factory fresh look!"

Think how cool you'd look, handbrake 180's, body coloured trim gleaming like the the soaking wet trim of the (STOP! -Ed)

...and pretty easy to implement too (pobably_), even with something like a gradual fade/wear or even simple stages of decay.

Ooh Oo OOH...  what about....  NEONS_!

For this reason alone I'm all for just straight cash. Skin A costs $4, skin B cost $7, etc etc. Xbox live is dollars, PSN is dollars, Steam is dollars (or whatever currency your country uses). I'm over this credit crapola.
