I mostly play lrm builds. That being said, it seems to be a lack of love for those of us who like to bring the rain of pain. My suggestion would be to have a king crab with more missile hard points.

You would end up with splat crabs... that will happen 100%

ATM there is a 4 missile hardpoint crab out there. So you can get your lurm on. But I am for any lurm hero cause then they would unnerf them, at least for a bit.

The 4 LRM Crab will be nice, but here is my problem, they stacked all the LRM's on one side making targeting that torso eaiser. Also forcing you to run smaller launchers especially if you want to use artimus. Moving the energy to the CT would, with a standard engine, allow you to zombie.

As for the SplatCrab, why not? would make it something no one would want to get close to. With its great torso twist countered by it's slow speed I don't see it as something bad.

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

They ain't all that slow when you put a bigger engine in. Had a warhawk crying for me to slow down the other day.

Still waiting for this. Bump.

KGC-010. Year: 2743, same as the KGC-000. (still trying to find a suitable lore-friendly hero 'nickname'... )

Hardpoints?
1 ballistic each arm.
1 energy each torso.
2 missile each torso. (6 tubes, 10 tubes)
1 energy center torso
1 ams each side torso

Quirks?
LBX cooldown, 35%
PPC heat generation, 50%.
PPC velocity, 25%
PPC colour, different!

Unique geometry?
No PPC barell, is flush with the torso.
1st missile hardpoint forms a ring around the PPC muzzle. (max 6 tubes)
2nd missile hardpoint forms a ring around the 1st missile ring. (max 10 tubes)
Cooling fins extending out the back. Slightly. Enough to be cool looking without being a target.

This all comes from Sarna: "These PPCs were different from other models in that they did not require an outer "barrel" but instead were mounted flush with the torso, each opening surrounded by a specially-designed Holly SRM-6 launcher, while the cooling sleeves extended out the back of the 'Mech. In place of the normal autocannons the 010 model carried LB-10X cannons. The combination of the non-standard housing and odd-colored discharge of the PPCs caused many pilots to believe they were facing a brand-new weapon system"

Like this. Add two more missile slots and make it 3x 10 tubes. I am particularly fond of Cancer as the name.

[Drake67]

Why yes we can. Streak Crab.
