An unpopular mech, but still effective on the battlefield. Gives new players a chance to widen their horizon.

This is a multi-role Catapult A1. It can provide long range support with it's LRM10's and can defend itself in close quarter combat with a pair of SRM4 and Streak SRM2's. The Beagle Active Probe helps in acquring targets faster and at longer ranges. CASE provides ample protection in each torso for the ammunition stored there. The Class III jump jets provide added mobility to the unit for both quick escapes and pursuits.

Weapon Groups
1 - 2 SRM4s
2 - 2 Streak SRM2s
3 - 2 LRM10s

Great mech all around, good at range and solid up close. Fast enough to keep the distance, jump capable to get the locks and shots that Atlas can't. Tag for the ECM you will find. Enough armor and firepower to last.

CTF-2X

I kept the weapon loadout lean for people with a generic mouse and the 20 double heat sinks lets the 'Mech run considerably cooler than a lot of other 'Mechs. Also, if they have problems configuring missiles seperately, 3 Large Lasers means they can do decent damage just by pushing 1 button, be it chained or grouped and even if both missiles aer grouped together, the heat sinks will hold them for quite some time. I stayed away from XL and Gauss due to them causing a 'Mech to die faster and Autocannons because of tonnage and ammunition weight.

Actually, it's only been submitted twice (one of which included Artemis and 2 SRM4s replacing 2 SRM6).

[Adran]

This is an all-around build meant to survive at any distance. Primarily long-ranged artilery, if anything gets closee, streaks + med lasers + speed makes it a notable threat, and a natural light hunter if they're not going as fast as possible. It is also capable of fully outrunning any slower mechs to the point it can then start firing its LRMs while evading enemy fire, alpha striking for a considerable amount of damage. Despite the overall poor heat effeciency, when firing JUST one of your missile types (streaks or LRMs), the heat effeciency is actually good enough you will rarely (if ever) overheat, and can probably keep firing at max rate and still lose heat, you just won't be able to use your lasers and the other type of missiles at the same time until the heat goes back down. This is my personal mech btw.

Pretty simple brawling build, pretty effective in an ECM environment as it doesn't have LRM's to be affected and has an ER PPC to counter at long ranges. Have the ER PPC and Gauss rifle each set to different groups as the ER PPC is arm mounted and has some convergence issues used at the same time with the Gauss. Medium lasers are split up into two groups as well for the same reason, as well as to help keep down heat build up.
