Hate to admit it.... This is terrible.

I recommend that Paul go to the training grounds and let them teach him how to setup a non-table top mech. I recommend dual gauss = win...

good luck!

Seriously people?

Not a single suggestion for a K2 - Dual AC10 "Classic" Build ?
No C1 - Energy / missile hybrid build?
Granted both are well pass their prime. How about a blast from the past in a form of an AC 40 K2?

Not really a fan of UACs on a mechs with out a jam chance reduction quirks and macros. If you are, better praise the R.N.G. Deity like it's 40K.

Even if you wish to go that rout, this K2 is more reliable for me. Dual Gauss works also as long as you can deal with a cycle time "changes".


P.S. Just remembered that energy boating is still "meta": K2 PPC and K2 LPL

Does anybody has a viable buildt for the Jester for CW?

I have tried XL Pulse Boat and 2 Large Lasers with some Meds, but it is not so good.

the jester build i want to use uses 2 LPL in the arms 4 medium a XL325 both JJ and a total of 20 heat sinks

this will give a 81 kph befor tweak and 42 alpa so the idea is to safely poke over cover the LPL then use the mobility to finish them off with its alpha

K2-single Ac20, large laser, 2x medium laser, standard engine and accompanying ammo to suit...full armor, endo steel. This is my third variaton on the K2. One of the more enjoyable builds.. did 2x Ac10, 2x LBX, 2x UAC. All enjoyable in thier own right...but the 20 just has that devasting finishing power.

C1-3xERL, 1xLRM15 artemis, XL300, 2 toms ammo. Beagle. Not a bad little long range pest.

they are alright, but not really good money makers, the warhammer is around the same tonnage with better offerings, something specific about the cat that draws you?

well, they are fairly decent, however these days they are a little under gunned for the size, but are fairly mobile. avoid the 6 missile one (CPLT-A1), it's only got two tricks to it, so if you don't like boating SRMs or LRMs then it will get stale fast, also the mech plays very "hit and miss" so it will probably be the most difficult to skill up.

the C1, K2, and a lesser extent the C4 are the best of the C-bill CPLT's, i cannot recall what the mastery bundle comes with, but the jester is fairly strong too, if i were to order them according to my preference, i would put the Jester in first with the K2 beating out the C1 in the race for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

i would put the CPLT behind the thunderbolt and warhammer but ahead of the quick draw, rifleman, CTF, DRG, and the orion.

after the mechs get a re-scale, i imagine they will end up fairly strong too, if not on par with the TDR or WHM.
