Although I still feel like the cataphracts and jagers have more firepower, might be my build or the fact that I'm alot more used to those mechs. Not giving up on this fella though. Currently trying 3 medium pulse lasers and 2 AC5s, seems to work pretty decently if I stay with the team or pick off lone stragglers.
Like someone mentioned in another thread regarding the protector, so far it feels like unless they fix the giant CT hitbox (not likely), XL engine is the way to go.

And on the subject of defensive torso-twisting, check out the VA and K variants. Can fit a lot of potential loadouts into the RA/RT.

Nice! But imo the Victor looks like a giant commando (as in I don't like it's asthetics ). Granted people are saying the orion looks like a hunchback on roids lol (I think hunchbacks look decent though).

1. CT takes a lot of damage
2. Cockpit is like a Catapult
3. Torso twisting still takes a lot of center damage
4. Great for sniping
5. Expect to die earlier than usual
To sum it up, the Orion is a great looking mech but fails because the CT is so large, opponents don't even bother to aim at your shoulder for an XL engine. That says is all.
Before you buy this mech, look at your other options, unless you like the features I've mentioned.

If PGI leaves it like this a refund for MC purchase in actual currency would be in order. Idk how they can deliver such half-cooked content. If I am buying some chicken wings I also expect them to be well done. You just can't sell stuff, that hasn't passed decent Q&A - this is purely disappointing and something that real Q&A should find.

Still, I'm holding onto the orion for looking like omega supreme, that's the biggest plus for me atm haha.

That build and this mech's maiden voyage got her first kill, another Orion, stock, new player who was shouting how his Gauss wasn't shooting when he clicked it at me.
3 kills, 7 assists, (a defeat), 526 damage, never died, got outcapped and match ended 5 v 2.

Word, off topic but speaking of surviving, the king of that job has gotta go to cents. Those zombie kings of the apocalypse they are!

Yep, I get cored 90% of the time. I fear other heavies and assaults 1 on 1.

So i can do with a heavy what you do with an assault? Bargain!
Did you miss the part where he said jumpjets, more speed and armor?

It's like a mini atlas. lots of viable configs. I dont like the ac/20 builds myself, but I have found it runs very well with it's native lbx-10 and 2 large lasers + whatever else you want to throw on.
the arm swing on these things is fantastic.
Victor beats it, but the victor is simply a better mech. the orion is just an old classic mech, much loved, but lets face it, what other mechgame had a good orion compared to every other mech? Here in mwo it's actually pretty decent for an oldie.
