Stop using the King Crab.

Never touch it again.

lmao!

You didn't look at it before you bought it. Worry not, there are two more variants built the same way!

The eventual King Crab hero may be an energy boat, ya never know...

call me weird (because I am ,lol) but I love symmetry, on walkers, usually.

My Hero KGC armament of choice? 1x PPC in each ST, and 4x SRM4 in each arm. Give it lower arm actuators.

Why? Because it would be way different than anything we got, lol.

Well, the 010 has a PPC in each ST, with the barrel literally surrounded by one SRM-6 each. And it's got a ton of fluff on it's design, including differently colored particles. It's neat.

I want more than that, and TBH, am not wanting heroes that are just cheap port of existing variants. You got any idea what kind of 1-2 punch 4 + 4 SRM4s give you?

And again, I want a hero that is genuinely, adventurously, different.

I wouldn't really call it a cheap port of existing variants, if they give it all the custom oddities of the variant in question. The barrel-less PPCs, the different color projectiles, the special model on the SRMs surrounding it, the weird spikes on the cooling sleeves extending to the back of the mech..yeah, pipedream, probably, but hot diggity damn it would be awesome to me.

At the same time, a supercharged MDD-A would be delicious..

Until people start boating LRMs on it. Then I'll end up getting banned for very frequently teamkilling, ala coring them from behind with SRMs.

If there were to be a champion or hero. Switch both energy points of the 000 to the arms, then two of the ballistic points to the torsos, then put two missile points on either torso. That way, we could have a slow(really slow) but cool, 6xAC5, 2xSRM6 killer. If you are up for the energy, then more power to you. In those respects, it would be equal to DW models with 6xballistic in it's load out capabilities,

That is asking for way to much though and would unbalance the game. It would lead to ghost heat on favored weapons like the ac5 and ac10. 4x ac10 or lb10xac would also be nasty as hell with that layout.

meh. Let's have something sincerely different.

I'm glad I could like that twice.

Here's another for completionists.

Ugh...

eh, I did one just for variety. Feels weird not having guns in the arms, but bloody thing actually works,lol!

I bet it does! That high mounted energy with a good torso twist rate means business. High mounted weapons can work wonders in this game, where as low mounted weapons are often good at digging trenches.

I agree though, it would be weird to run the KC without ballistics in the arms.

As a side note, could you imagine a Hero King Crab with ballistics in the shoulder instead of missiles. High mount ballistics and lasers....scary.
