[Empedocles]

I pilot a Raven almost exclusively but it is only my second favorite Mech. Like I expect a lot of older gamers, my favorite is unsurprisingly the Marauder. Now I'm well aware we will never see a Marauder in this game (if we did I'd be all over it like a rash!) but I was thinking, could I use an avaliable chassis to get the "feel" of one?
To this end I chose a Cataphract CTF-1X and configured it thusly;

ERPPC in both arms with a MedPulse in Right arm and Left torso. An Ultra AC/5 in Right torso with 3 tons of ammo located in Head and Centre torso.
XL 305 engine with 2 internal double heatsinks with a further 4 double heatsinks.
By using Endo-Steel construction you can almost max out standard armour - 432 out of 434.

Now this will cost in excess of 15m cbills (which I don't have as yet!) so while I save up like an excited 12 year old, I wondered if anyone else had their own take on this?
