Alright so I bought some stuff in the body shop for my CRT mech. I had to pay real money for meteor credits because there is no option to get the stuff in the body shop with hawken credits. I had already realized that all of the available parts were from other mechs of the same type, and I thought that was a little cheap and lazy to charge money without putting forth any additional effort in creating new and original parts, but I still liked the idea of making a custom mech, and I figured that if the parts were from other mechs of the same type I should be able to use the parts on them as well. As I've come to find out after attempting to customize a different mech of the same type, I'll have to purchase the same exact parts again to use them for the other mechs!
This just seems to me like a rip off! It's not only the body shop though, it goes for every other customization item as well. However I will let the other items slide a little bit because at least they are available with hawken credits.
The main point I'd like to make is I know the developer's deserve to make some money, but charging multiple times for the exact same content is taking it too far. I can't think of any other game that has done it like this, and I'm sad to see it in Hawken. I think the legitimacy of this deserves to be discussed by the community and I'll appreciate all the feedback I can get.
