Specific items you are aching to get your hands on?

[Storywriter J. Allen]

I'm wondering what people are looking for. What specific items they are aching to get their hands on, but can't just straight up buy it from the MHB at the moment because of cost or availability or any other factors.

Reason I'm asking is, the trading side of this game can be kinda fun. But to really do it well you gotta know what people are looking for.

Major Erik Ingersoll's goal was to obtain a Conquistador Class DropShip after we pumped up to 12 'Mechs. Well I've purchased and salvage enough units to get the 12 'Mechs so next I'll be saving for the Conquistador.

I would love to get two more Zephyros Infantry Support Vehicles.

as most hate em, i like em. Super Heavies.
also the Rattler Mk I and II although we dont have rules for mobile structures.

I only have a couple of problems with including the superheavies in the MHB...

1. They are superheavies.
2. I am not finding costs for them.

I don't see an issue with the Rattler platforms being in the MHB except, no cost. I would assume that the rules for them is the same as they would be for vehicles, they are just a larger unit with lots more pew-pew to them. "Pew-pew" is a professional mercenary term for more guns.

If you get me costs and battle value 2 for things that are produced inside our timeline, I have no issues with getting them on the MHB.

Well to avoid having to start another thread may I ask the MHB a follow up question; Would it be possible to get extinct designs likes the Vali or the Alfar, or restricted designs like the aforementioned superheavies (mechs and vees), into the MHB list but have them listed as Availability: No? The only purpose being to create a chance that someone could luck out and snap them up as salvage or during one of those everything under the sun opportunities likes we just had for Christmas?

[DeputyDirector]

The MHB will indeed allow the asking of an additional question.

If they are extinct designs, then adding them to the MHB may be entertained as long as BV(2) and cost for the items are available. They would not be allowed for normal purchase nor for regular salvage however, because they are extinct and most likely no longer produced. An exception for salvaging something of note may be allowed after discussion with the MHB, who would have to be extremely dazzled by the in-game reason as to how such a thing would happen, but that would be an exception and not a common occurrence.

If its like the Christmas Holiday Hardware Extravaganza, then all options, including non-purchasable items are on the table so the extinct ones would be as well, if they were on the MHB, but with some sort of story as to how the unit received the extinct hardware requested by the MHB.
