The rulebook says that starting builds come with 3 mec parts and 150,000 C for upgrades, and there is some confusion at my table as to whether the 150,000 C can be used to buy more parts or not, so I thought i'd just check in for clarification.
also, while i'm here, in regards to the harmonizer part
It says once a turn, I can give +3 syn to an ally, does that come out of my own pool?
similar question with the redistribute syn among consenting allies, how is that applied?
