My only complain is that the other free Centurion was given out during the long break I took so unfortunately I will have to buy two more chassis to master this one.

so they should have refrained from giving out stuff while you were gone?

Got my Cent's mastered in 2013 and have only played the YLW infrequently when I'm hero grinding for C-Bill, but never got the play the AH so something to look forward to for me.

[Impyrium]

Wasn't around for the AH, and I don't like the idea of hero 'Mechs so I avoided the YLW, so the AH should be fun to mess about with. Also AC20. Move over 4G.

[Greenjulius]

I got the other free CN9 back when they gave it away but couldn't bring myself to get more of them. I went for Shadowhawks instead.

Now this gives me ample reason to buy another...

So I guess this begs the question: Anyone have good builds for the AH? I'm assuming since it has no energy slots, it's going to need an XL to bring decent firepower. Unfortunate because that takes away the tankiness of the centy, but still, a fast(ish) AC20 medium with SRMs is tempting...

[CycKath]

We really need to know the quirks, energine limit and hardpoints before we can seriously theory-build versus guessing and assuming based on the stats from when it was in game.

PGI killed my Wang.

I petition to add Melee attacks in the next patch. It's the only way my Wang can distinguish itself.

Wang has lasers. In the CT. And can use a 300 engine.
AH has no lasers, Missiles in the LT and can use up to a 260.

Seems pretty different to me.

[StonedDead]

Thank you PGI!! I loved that mech so very long ago.

Free Centurion. Wooo.

That's about the only way I'll play a Centi though. But hey at least it's a freebie.

I'm more excited about a Free Atlas, and a Free King Crab.

You have no idea how much fun Cents are then. They may never be the best, but they will always be beasts for anyone who takes the time to learn how to use them.

That's because you aren't cool like me.

You should have kept the free Centurion A Champion mech they gave out.

Was taking a break from the game when they did that. Missed the yenolwang too .

The YLW is always for sale, you can go buy it right now in fact....

[M4NTiC0R3X]

Crusaders, I am not, but still looks cool

OT: Thanks PGI, Bishop said it best

Old Love Never Dies - would be interesting to see how the CN9-AH performs now - with ES, DHS and without RnR

Yeah, well we had endo before it passed into the pale. But DHS will be new, and TBH it always was one of my best RnR performers..... hunting down bloated XL/aLRMboats and making sure they lost money, every match.

So fun to see the Catapults carrying ten tons of Artemis LRM ammo and no CASE pop right next to the Atlas they were struggling to keep up with. ALRM costs were why my Founders Cat used CASE and only four tons of standard ammo total with the XL, So much fun to be able to keep up with Dragons and not have to worry about ammo by the time I got into CQC.

XL 370 because that's where I found the balance of speed and firepower I like. and for those of you who seem to think the 390 engine cap was part of open beta tweeking to the me h you are wrong in this case, the CN9-D had its 390 cap since day one it was released. I had my version with the 370XL built within an hour of patch.
