FLAME

350XL w/16DHS (14 in engine makes a cool rate of 60.8), Endo, Ferro

2x PPC
1x MPL
1x SRM4

The math was too perfect.

The CTF-1X - a typical build for the chassis includes Endo Steel, a 340 XL Engine, six Double Heat Sinks outside of the engine (nineteen in total) and five Large Lasers.

This 'Mech build boasts decent burst and sustained damage potential at multiple ranges - it's also pretty fast for a Cataphract, and able to keep up with fast Catapults and many of the slower Dragon builds.
With steady aim and good tracking skills, it can still be pretty competitive against the more specialized builds.

I'm running these currently, and having fun with it.

STK-3F
Stock weapons loadout (4 Medium laser, 2 Large Laser, 2 SRM 6, 2 LRM 10)
Endo Steel.
Slightly increased engine for slightly better speed and more in-engine heatsinks.
AMS and 1 ton AMS ammo
Double heatsinks
The rest of the weight goes into maxin armor and adding heatsinks.


Flame
Endo Steel, Double Heatsinks, 360 XL engine.
ER PPC
3 Medium lasers
SRM 6.
Basically a Grand Dragon with the LRM 10 switched for an SRM 6


Cataphract 1X
2 ER PPC
2 Medium Lasers
1 UAC/5
My Maraudaphract. An attempt to turn a Cataphract more or less into a Marauder.

I'm having fun with them all, and that's really all that matters.

I'm just going to point this out, since I've seen a few people mounting both LargeLas and MedLas.
Unless you intend to use them together at some point, it serves no purpose.
2ML: 10dmg, 8heat, 270range 1sec beam
1LL: 9dmg, 7heat, 450range, 1sec beam

If you have 2 LargeLas already, then they are practically the same thing as 4ML for close-in work. Thus unless you're using your larges and mediums both for close-in work it's redundant.


I kept my LLaz so that I can reach out and touch someone while waiting for my LRMs to reload.

TBT-7K

2 MedL
1 ULTRA/AC5 - 1 ton ammo
2 SRM6 - 2 ton ammo

I find this serves my purposes quite well, lack of ammo and XL be darned.

Cent- AL

2 points short max armor
90 kph
ams + 1 ton ammo
ssrm2 + 1 ton ammo
Lrm15(art) + 2 tons ammo
3 med lasers
1 med pulse laser

Excellent mech to play as a multi role support mech when you don't know what map you are playing on (always). Now that's balanced baby! 8P

Non-boating builds? I know not of these non-boating multirole builds of which you speak.

I build my mechs to do a job and do it well.

The only one I have that might qualify would be my DDC with 2 large lasers, 2 UAC/5s, and 3 SRM6. Long-mid range direct fire with some up-close punch. I don't have anything with a single LRM system. Either that's what I'm doing and have backup weapons or I'm maneuvering to deploy my other weaponry.
