So, I've seen a lot of topics based on the Hellbringer, Shadowcat, and Vulture. But what about the Executioner and Nova Cat. Executioner, fantastic assault with jump jets and Nova Cat comes stock primary with 3 ERL and 2 PPCs, plus it can use jump jets. Come on, these need to be added!

The Executioner may be added. I am not sure about the Nova Cat, i think it is introduced later.

I want the Gargoyle first though.

Exactly. Not quite 3050 timeframe.

Mmh, i want it actually , i know its loadout ^_^

A fast assault with fewer weapons is an interesting change, quiaff? I hate assaults usually, too slow and lumbering for my tastes.

2 UAC/5s, 2 SRM6 and a ER Med laser should be a perfectely doable configuration, quiaff? :ph34r:

You could always give it a try on the Timber Wolf and see how you would do. Similar speed and 11 tons armor (418 points). Also it has a CERSL and CLBXs on it's prime config. The only difference is the weapons are in the torso not the arms and the hit boxes. Gargoyle Prime, Timber Wolf or a slightly modified one with a CERML http://mwo.smurfy-ne...66560b499a469ce

They are actually LBX AC/5s and an ER Small Laser. :ph34r:

I never understood why the Gargoyle did use a standard internal structure... it would have been a real threat with this much more pod space available.

Now, the alternate A and C in contrast pack quite a punch in combination with the 86 kph top speed.

I want the Nova Cat, for obvious reasons, and even loaded out a Warhawk with both the Prime and a custom alt config to test it. The fact that a 70 ton mech can carry the firepower of an 85 ton mech is scary. Prime config is damned near impossible, now, however. Just due to the mechanics of the ERLLas and the slow ERPPC. Requires a double coolshot, and possibly chain firing the ERPPC.

My custom Nova Cat, however....

Right Arm: Gauss Rifle, 3 Tons Ammo
Left Arm: 2 ERPPC
Left Torso: ERMLas
Right Torso: ERMLas

21 Total DHS

Requires the Prime's Left Arm, Charlie's Right Arm, and Bravo's Left and Right torsos.

Spoiler


Or, alternatively, swap the ERPPC for a pair of cLPLas, and reinstall the arm actuators. ^_^


Too bad the mech is not introduced for a very long while yet.

Nova Cat is one of my favourites too, I used to have insanity causing fun with 3x LBX AC/5s and twin Large Pulse Lasers (or if I was in a REALLY "bad" mood, swap for UAC/5s and Heavy Large Lasers...) but as stated before, it is too early right now, it is a 3060 design after all.

Even though the Nova Cat is a long way out, I should add:

I do not hope they include the A config. A 70 ton mech with jump jets and 33 remaining tons of pod space? Good bye Timber Wolf. Final nail in the coffin for Summoner. Plus, aside from the JJ, Alpha offers nothing that Prime cannot do. My money, for balance and variety sake, is Prime, Bravo, and Charlie. Prime with a 2E Right Arm and 3E Left Arm. Bravo with two 3M arms and two 1E torsos. Charlie with a 3B Right Arm and 2E Left Arm (meaning it might have either a quirk or an actuator the prime's arm does not have).


Edit:

While I am building nutso stuff, there is also the brawlcat:

2 UAC10, 4 tons of ammo, 5 ERMLas, 21 DHS. Or 2 ERLLas, 2 UAC10, 3 tons of ammo, 2 ERSLas, 18 DHS.

Or go old school dakka with 3 UAC5, 4 tons of ammo, 2 ERLLas, 17 DHS. Ooooh yeah.

I know, that was the loadout i would like to try on the Gargoyle Prime, i think with a bit of armor slicing it should fit ^_^
