This is a five star build for me too and is how I run my CPLT-C4 with good success. If you are not planning to use the fact this 'Mech has 20 tubes,...
There's a strong correlation between 'Mechs I am playing now - and those that I am doing best in. I am pleased - because it suggests I am improving -...
I would not classify any weapon as "never be used". The AC2 is certainly a niche weapon - the range is less important characteristic, for me, than...
I disagree with Lan about moving the lasers to the side torsos. The arms have a better field of fire (higher on the 'Mech) for shooting over...
My nine year old plays with a Catapult K2 and has lots of fun with dual PPCs and dual MLs - he's now hankering after a Jagermech. My seven year old...
I use FRAPs (paid version) to record. I lock my frame rate to 25fps to conserve disk. It doesn't seem to have an adverse in-game effect for me. I...
The AC20 is better (more damage) out to 400m, and pairs well with Medium Lasers in my experience. There's nothing like a CTF-1X with AC20 and 5xMLs...
I am a big fan of Stalkers - and although they are flexible, they lack the ballistics to be truly versatile. The Awesome is similarly lacking. So I...
For the financially conscious - if you drop the engine to a Standard 255 (reduces speed by 10kph before tweak), you can add a tonne more armour, a...
The deadline for the early-bird 30 day premium time bonus is in a month - 25th July - not 25th June.
I struggled to find the right build for the ILYA. I did try this for a few drops and didn't get on with it. Limped along with a dual PPC, AC10 build,...
Hi Cattra, Those variants look identical to me. What have you changed on variant 2.0?
[MEDIA] Fast enough to close the range to the enemy, solid damage output, runs cool, near maximum armour, no XL engine means it can survive a brawl...
A reasonable build given the limitations of the chassis. I would personally downgrade the engine (speed not so critical for 'Mechs engaging at long...
I tweaked this by removing the AMS and AMS ammo and SRM ammo in the torsos, added a couple of DHS (torso) and SRM ammo in the cockpit. Increases...
I'm running with this configuration at the moment, although I've dropped the leg armour a little and put a BAP in the CT (personal preference - it...
A primary role for Dragons is flanking and not as a 'Mech of the line. Easy to build a real left or right-handed 'Mech to specialise in a particular...
Would you consider a PPC instead of an ERPPC? You have the speed and jump capability to maintain any range you like - and you get a 'Mech than runs...
So fundamentally there are two design camps here - one where speed is prioritised over armament and a second philosophy looking at more balanced...
@Quadro - Thanks for the offer - but I can probably recreate it from your description without bothering you for it. It looks as if my expeditious use...
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry that you're not keen - I can see why given your comments. I note that I tend to use less ammo than others have...
Thanks for the feedback. 12 shots seems adequate to me - perhaps I am more selective about when to fire and so I don't have the same RoF as you - or...
Thanks for the observations. I like TAG for the Exp and CBill bonus, and the assist in nullifying ECM even if it isn't currently massively...
[MEDIA] This is a Gauss-equipped version of the same basic 'Mech design. Dropped the SSRM-2 and CASE, moved the AMS ammo to one of the legs. Might...
[MEDIA] I swapped a standard 240 engine from an Awesome for the 300, freeing up plenty of tonnage. Upgraded the heat sinks and structure. Primary...
A very low cost build. I am not certain about 2 tonnes of AMS ammo - it seems overkill. The primary configuration has some spare tonnage you could...
[MEDIA] Here's a fire support variant of the above. It replaces the Standard 300 engine with the original 240 and removes Artemis and 2 DHS. The PPC...
[MEDIA] I swapped the Standard 300 engine in a Dragon for the smaller engine in the Awesome to boost the speed and allow it to close with enemies...
