only thing to solve the Atlas problems, is to make more bigger and better Atlas's I want my Pumpkin head http://www.starshipm..._pre_atlas1.jpg

Add "immovable" bonus armor (like on the Hunchback's hump) to all Torso locations. +25 to CT and ST including rear.

[Sarlic]

Please keep it alive folks.

Annnnnddddd up!

[Kutfroat]

give it -20% from all damage quirk. bonus armor would be useless, just would take away more tonnage that it needs for weapons.

[The Boz]

Quirk armor has 0 weight.

I posted this in another thread - it's the same problem with any / all of the stand-up mechs, exaggerated by the slow ones.

They are nifty, they pack some firepower but ultimately they are too easy to burn down.

I reckon the CN9-D's LB10X-AC quirk on the AS7-D would bring the Atlas right back into the competition.

Up!

give it ECM, and release it to the masses!

Here's some ideas. Bad or not I don't know.

[General Chassis]
+7.5% speed
Decel / Accel bonus
Increased Arm and Leg armor
Reduced Heat for all weapon types (so it can output larger amount of DPS)

[AS7-K]
Range Quirk on all 3 weapon types (energy, ballistic, missiles) instead of specific weapon or weapon type.

My AS7-D build:

1 x PPC
1 x AC10
1 x UAC5
3 x MLaser
2 x SRM6 + Artimis
Standard 300 engine

3tons AC10 ammo
3 tons UAC5 ammo
2 tons SRM ammo

AC10 cooldown modua
AC10 range modual
UAC5 cooldown modual
MLaser range mudual
Seismic Sensor

Many Bothens died to bring you this information..... I have no problems killing Direwolves in this mech.

Armour quirks are weightless.

[Coolant]

forgot if i already posted and too lazy to look, but +1 to better Quirks for Atlases. It was my favorite mech at one time....

[Greenjulius]

Resurrected thread perhaps, but still very relevant. The Atlas is less and less useful as with each passing month.

Armor quirks could be the answer...

Or kapusta11's weapon additions.

[Mudhutwarrior]

I drive a DDC since starting right when open beta came. It was my go to grind mech with a few million xp on it.. Now I am mastering Dires and crabs and they both without the extra module slot are my go to grind mechs far above and beyond the Atlas.

I think they need to open up both torsos to ballistics. The one torso ballistic is their greatest weakness. I aim for that torso before any other and so does anyone else who has been playing longer than a week.

It's not all about weapons.
