Well, this is sad news. After 1.5, no more Merc Pack. This means that i cant spent $20 for a pack that gives me a 30 day active sp booster and 40,000 aur, allwing me to buy another passive sp booster. It was a good deal because each booster cost something about 28,000 aur.
So what happens next? discount on the bososter? what? |

The Tactical Edition looks terrible. Less aurum and no special BPOs. A pity, I was really looking forward to the next merc pack. |

New pack is pretty lame. The only thing worth buying for actual money in this game is boosters and BPO's. Though the last one I would say is pretty debatable still. |

CCP is forcing us to buy more aur (trying at least). With the merc pack, for $20 you had a lot of good gear AND 40,000 aur. But with the same $20 you could buy only the 40,000 aur, wich was a bad deal. Now, they give us only 2,500 aur with this pack. This is beyond lame. |

The tactical pack is....well....given that I am happy with my SP total when my boosters run out I wont be spending anymore money on this game for a long time it seems. I suppose this is only for people who are just downloading the game and don't know better but paying 20 bucks for a bunch of expendable std lvl gear is crap, id really like to see more permanent stuff in those packs. |

Yeah, this new pack sucks. Absolutely no reason to buy this. I'm not upset about losing the BPOs because I don't think they should even be in the game but losing the 30-day booster + Aurum.... Now I really don't think I'll be able to talk myself into buying another pack. CCP. I'll give you my money if you offer me something interesting. Tactical Pack. More Like Craptical Pack.  |

Please CCP, give me a way to stay boosted for less than 20 bucks a month. I dont think the one time purchase only tacky pac was meant as a merc pack replacement. Just give us a booster combo meal biggee sized please. |

Yeah tbh i think they did it because no one was buying any of the plain Aurum packs because the Merv packs ended up being better value.
Bit stupid though its as if they want to lose money, you can only buy the tactical pack once, if you even do buy it whereas i know far more people who would buy plenty of merc packs over the year. at least the vet and elite are staying for the moment, just means have to save up a bit more than -ú16 to get a good deal lol |

Yeah, I'm still hoping this is the first step to adding new BPOs.
Like maybe they have to remove the current ones first so they could add the new ones. |

Well the vet pack might do it for you now. you get 1 of each 30 day booster plus 100k aurum. You can buy 2 x 30 day bundles (1 passive one active) to end up with 90 days total of full passive and active with a little less than 7k aurum leftover.
Your price per month ends up at $16.68

The Tactical Pack includes:
1 x 7-Day Active Skill Booster = 7,000 AUR
100 x Hunter Scout Dropsuit Featured Fit x 80 = 8,000 AUR
100 x Mauler Heavy Dropsuit Featured Fit x 80 = 8,000 AUR
100 x Shock Assault Dropsuit Featured Fit x 80 = 8,000 AUR
50 x GÇÿLC-217GÇÖ Saga Light Assault Vehicle x 100 = 5,000 AUR
50 x CreoDron Breach Heavy Assault Vehicle Featured Fit =? 5,000 AUR
50 x Kaalakiota Recon Dropship Featured Fit =? 5,000 AUR
2,500 Aurum
Grand total: 48,500 AUR
I have no idea what the HAV and DS actually cost so I made an educated guess based on the saga price. Doubling their value would bring it up to 58,500 AUR. This is 20 to 30 dollars worth of aurum gear if you were to buy it with aurum.
The Merc Pack includes:
1 x 30 Day Active Booster = 28,000 AUR
1 x Toxin AR(substitute Toxin SMG price) = 13,800 AUR
1x Dragonfly Assault Dropsuit(substitute 'Raven' Assault C-1 price) = 19,800 AUR
50 x HK-2 Scrambler Pistol x 20 = 1,000 AUR
50 x Hacked EX-0 AV Grenade(substitute Fused Locus Grenade price) x 15 = 750 AUR
50 x Hacked Nanohive(substitute 'Torrent' Nanohive price) x 20 = 1,000 AUR
50 x CN-V Light Damage Modifier(substitute 'Echo' Basic Light Damage Modifier) x20 = 1,000 AUR
40,000 AUR
Value: 105,350 AUR
Value without Toxin and Dragonfly: 71,750 AUR
This is 35 to 50 dollars worth of aurum gear if you were to buy it with aurum.
The new pack is nowhere near the value of the Merc pack yet it is the same price. It should swap the 7 Day Active for the 30 Day Active(+21,000 AUR) and include more aurum(set it to 20,000 to 30,000 AUR) which would bring it in line with the Merc pack.
I have too much time on my hands today. |

is this a joke?
well until a decent deal for boosters come along i'm done with them.
aurum gear = rip off, and every single combined pack that exists solely to sell aurum gear is still a rip off since none of it is needed. |

If it wasn't already obvious that the new Merc pack was a piece of excrement.
Here's a news flash for CCP, if you want people to give you money for "virtual" items, it's nice if some of them are actually permanent.
It would've been nice to see Merc pack contents altered to have new BPOs prior to the Omega Sale ending. People would need a ton of Aurum to afford them, and anyone that's already bought the current packs will double up BPOs while still unable to trade or do anything with spares.
Instead, there's this laughably bad bundle of lower quality expendable gear. Woo.
