ARISE THREAD
Ever since I bought the Founder's pack I've been fiddling with new builds for the founder's mechs, mostly the Hunchback since I'm generally a medium mech pilot. All of them are obscenely expensive since they're packed to the gills with Star League technology (Ferro-Fibrous armor is a must in my designs) but it's darn fun fiddling with the potential builds of 3049. There was one Hunchback design in particular I was seriously considering making my primary mech build for the game, but I've decided against it because it relies too heavily on an XL engine. It's a solid design otherwise, at least in my opinion, that provides a ton of protection for the pilot -- it has the maximum FF armor allotment by class, a GECM suite and an upgraded 250 engine that puts the mech's speed more on par with other medium mechs -- and it takes a slight hit to its overall firepower in exchange for medium-long range primary weapons, as well as reducing ammo dependence, AND on top of all that it can fire an alpha strike and still break even heatwise. Despite being the best build I've come up with otherwise, tripling the risk of coring just made me way too nervous to use it, even with nine and a half tons of FF. The XL engine is also way too expensive for me to bother with.
So, yeah, I decided to post it just for the hell of it, for anybody who is cool with using an XL engine.
