This state of the art Catapult is designed to fast-track new pilots to the battlefield, shaving off years of training through “battlenomics” engineering. Extended range weaponry keeps new pilots out of harm’s way, while ER Lasers provide the perfect tracer for rapid fire Ultra Autocannons, guaranteeing dead-center-perfect shots. Speaking of which, these weapons may say Extended Range, but they are just as effective up close and personal, and 12.5 tons of battle-proven, combat ready, standard armor means this Catapult can take as good as it gives. Some detractors have stated the UAC5 is prone to jam and unsuitable for inexperienced pilots; we say a self clearing ammo feeder is the solution. In additional to self-clearing autocannons, our engineers have calculated the meantime to jam is synchronous with the ER Large Lasers beam duration, and the unjam time synchronizes with laser cooldown, and that is no accident. Evasion is critical to pilot success, and nothing makes pilots move for cover faster than a jammed weapon. This mech will teach situational awareness as pilots subconsciously learn when to take cover and when to take aim.

People snigger and laugh at me in ECM heavy games...till the moment I get in/out of range, and one-shot them...suddenly quiet and crying because their Spider with ECM was just turned into a new-year celebration, fireworks an all.
Beside the fact that, if you are a new player, and the RANK system is working properly, this would serve as a great training-wheels attached Mech.

Do you like big guns? Do you like big engines? And do you like the latest in cutting-edge technology? Then you are going to love this design. We pulled out all the stops on this Dragon, mounting not one, but two autocannons; and then paired them with a PPC and a Large Laser, and all in an agile 60 ton frame, and it was not easy fitting in all that firepower, but our engineers tackled that problem by incorporating ALL the latest light-weight technology. This mech moves like a medium chassis but hits like an assault, and with 10.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor it will see you through the fiercest engagements. Discerning mechwarriors will appreciate the arm mounted weapons, allowing this model to fire from cover or elevation, minimizing an opponent’s effective response.

Designed from the ground up as a Sniper/Counter-Sniper, this Dragon can quickly get into position and suppress or snipe enemy mechs. In the event that its position is overrun, it has the speed to evade heavier forces, and armor to ignore lighter mechs. “But what about ECM that disrupts my targeting and radar”, well our customer service team has heard you, and our engineers have the solution: TAG, usable at long and medium range for allied target designation, but for close range you can rely on your ER PPC to disable pesky scout ECM long enough to lock-on and destroy them with dual Streak SRM missile launchers. This model brings everything you need to a battle and nothing you don’t.

Our customers demand the latest cutting edge technology, but no everyone can afford or needs some of the more expensive components. Our engineers have managed to eliminate the need for two of the most expensive upgrades without sacrificing any of the performance you have come to expect. Let me start with the key features: BAP for rapid target acquisition and extended sensor range, which pairs well with Artemis Fire Control system, but add in a TAG laser, and now you have unparalleled telemetry and targeting resolution. To take full advantage of all this targeting technology our designers used both long range and short range guided missile systems, that is right this model carries both LRM15 and Streak SRM2 launchers to hit them coming and going. Of course if your primary weapons systems are missiles you need to carry a lot of ammo, and that scares a lot of pilots. But not you, because have CASE to protect vital internal components (like the pilot) from ammo explosions. And remember those upgrades that were removed, well one of them was the ultra-expensive XL engine, the one component your CASE couldn’t protect, good thing you don’t have one of those. The other, double heat sinks, and unneeded expensive on a cool running missile mech like the Catapult.

==================================

Reasoning behind the loadout:

I chose the 1X because it gives new players plenty of durability and keeps the weapon types down to only 2. From what I've heard from my friends who have tried to get into the game it can be very confusing to new players how Heat management works and how best to setup weapon grouping. This 1X loadout runs relatively cool so that new players aren't constantly overheating. My friends have told me it took time for them to get used to the small circle which is the arm weapon reticule so the big hitting weapons like the PPC and AC/10 are in the torsos. This also means they have a lower chance of losing their main damage dealers.

There is extra armor on the rear CT since most new players probably won't recognize very quickly when they are taking rear damage. It isn't very fast but it shouldn't feel completely like walking through mud. This loadout is designed specifically for new players without really worrying about min/maxing so that they can deal a good amount of damage while having some survivability.

I think this would be a good starter heavy as it keeps the spirit of the build intact but gives the benefit of artimis a heavier missile salvo and decent defense.

So this is my submission for a new starter heavy
