From all mechs,the Catapult was my favorite mech. I use this variant as a LRM boat,with that loadout as starting loadout:

The objective was that:

During the beta my conection speed was crap and LRMs were my only option, so no criticizm there. The XL engine is critical for the Catapult and should be your first upgrade. The speed will keep you with friendly units and allow you to break off for a better firing arc if you need to.
I use 6 LRM5s with no artemis. I fire in groups of 3 and if I dont see any AMS fire I rain a steady stream one 1 at a time.
With more ECM mechs out there now, LRM only is much tougher. I suggest making friends with narc/tag lights
Good luck!

another choice is improving upon the champion version. 2 x LRM 15, 4 x SSRM 2, BAP, and an XL engine with Endo steel and double heatsinks is quite nasty.

however this thing is not only now effective at close range as it is at far but it'll make light mechs regret thinking that lrm boat is an easy target. (also at 180 meters to 270 meters+ (modules for SSRM range extend) is a sweat spot where you can hit the enemy wiht both LRM's and SSRM 's.

The SSRM's are also external mount and do not mess with the bay doors.
