I lurv ma Quckie...

For a "crap mech" it still hosts a very respectable W/L and KDR (1.20 & 1.30 respectively) and it never lets me down in a fight.

If I didn't love my Zeus (And the +30% boost) more it would be my primary mech.

Quickdraw has the large archetype... Like the ******* 85 ton Stalker...

******* hell, PGI... How ******* daft are they? I'm off to buy myself a cupcake to calm the nerves. Bunch of wankers.

It's based on height. That is why the CTF has a Medium movement type while the Summoner has a large.

Based on height that is already ****** up on the Quickdraw... Bloody wankers.

Commando 2D: cause after your laser arm is blown off and you run out of srm ammo, you need to run away with your 150 capped speed under ECM and no jump jets with that "whirr whirr whirring" noise WHILST getting stuck on terrain (which is dumb) AND other lights what are heavier BUT just as fast pew pewing you in your tush (and don't forget the lack of armor).

Ahhhh, the rush.

A Dire without Meta Builds; 2 CLBX20 - 6 tons of ammo, 1 CUAC20 - 4 tons of ammo, and 2 CSRM6's - 2-3 tons of ammo (can't remember the ammo count while typing this for the CSRM6's)

The Barfinator

It's only good once.

Note: ammo explosions are garaunteed.

I actually kinda want to get a Dire Wolf now wat
That build sounds awesome

Why would you list a Cent? Cents are not considered bad mechs, especially the AH! BJ's suck because Jager's exist.

[C E Dwyer]

I used to take stock highlanders out into the wilds,does that count ? while everyone around me had Endo, DHS, PPC's Gauss, engines maxed, I would chug along, with my ml's ac10 lrm20 srm6 SHS standard everything, and get kills, ran out of ammo if you sneezed, and the sneezing was caused by over heating if you tried to brawl a small shrub.

was fun though o.O

and the kids of today, talk about grind

[Mister Blastman]

BJ-1 (before the AC/20 nerfs :''( ) and the Summoner B. If they'd tighten up SRMs again then maybe a DRG-1C.

None of those are stock... however.


Edit: I have a dirty fetish for the Summoner. It is so bad... but it looks... so good. Makes me so sad that PGI shows it no love. Endo... just some Endo and Summoner specific autocannon quirks (one shell quirk please!).

Right now it is just like this...

I agree Cents aren't bad mechs, but those builds aren't exactly the usual high alpha builds we see.
Meh i'd take a Blackjack over a jager anyday, i don't need to hide at the back with dual gauss to have fun or do well.

That would be my Ice Ferrets, I'd say Commando but I dont think people believe they are bad, just old news and locust's have more hardpoints and same armor/structure after quirks.

As for Ice ferrets though, name me one other mech that has 50+ firepower and runs 143 KPH. Ya.. you cant... and yet most refer to it as "bad" I laugh at them, destroy them then move on to the next target. Best part is you often get ignored Black Jack syndrome I call it.

I suppose it depends on the definition of bad.

I don't consider the Catapult as bad, but I'm sure others do. I feel the Jester and K2 are pretty decent and the other Catapults are a bit mediocre. So IF the consensus is that the Catapult is in fact a bad mech, I'd consider that my #1 choice.

Now, if we are talking CLEARLY bad (even I agree it's bad), then my real #1 choice would be the Vindicator. The Vindicator is too large for it's weight. Worst of all, the Vindicator has terrible hitboxes, weapon locations, and the atrocious 1X loadout limitations. It's so bad that PGI still doesn't acknowledge it on the website under "Battlemechs" .

The Vindicator's problems seem to stem from it being a bit large for a 45 ton Medium. It is about the size of 55tonners when it should be a bit closer in size to the Hunchback (a bit taller at most).

The Vindi also has HUGE arms. Not just the PPC barrel arm from the side, but the front profile as well. The front profile of the arms are as big as the side torsos. This means the arms get blown off very easily...and guess where most of the weapons are...yup, the arms. You will spend a lot of time in a Vindicator firing your lone head laser (assuming you aren't using the lone missile hard point).

Lastly, the Vindi 1X is the worst. 3 ballistic hard points on a 45 ton mech is just a bad decision. Worse yet, it makes you suffer by reducing the energy hard points to 2 (one being the 1 crit space head laser). You need to run such a big fragile target fast, so a big engine is almost mandatory. With that engine, you aren't going to carry a loadout worth carrying. The 1X is a sad sack. Even if it had 2 energy in the arm, it would be a whole different case.

TL;DR Anyway, my #1 pick is the Vindicator.

[Revis Volek]

Pretty much any clan mech these days....

Or the Panther, and i consider it bad only because of how GOOD the FS9 is in this game.

[MoonUnitBeta]

When I want to have some unexpected fun moments, I play my LCT-3M with small lasers.

I mostly play slow things below 100kph... so that thing is always like jumping into a rocket and pressing the go button, shooting anything and everything with small pulse lasers.


It's surprising how well I can do in a game.... 500... 700 damage. I'm surprised I don't see more of them.

The unfortunate truth is that I love piloting all the mechs and can't wait to own all the IS mechs with full skill unlocks (even though I am a clanner). No matter how "bad" people say a mech is, I always **** face on anything. Except my C4 catapult. That thing blows ass.

I dont think you understand the point of this thread.....

[MeiSooHaityu]

BTW, I spent so much time ranting on the Vindicator that I forgot to say why I like it.

The 1AA is pretty fast (116kph) and jumps pretty well probably due to its light tonnage. If you like to be a quick fire support poptarter, this mech with 2 PPCs is nice. Combine the 40% velocity quirk to PPCs and the fact it runs cool, and it can be fun. Bishop built a fast LRM15 version with MLasrers, do it is adaptable.

The 1R is nice too. I am currently running 1 PPC and 4 MPLasers. It's not as fast as the 1AA (maybe about 93kph), but it's still quick. I have also run it with 2 PPCs and 3 MLasers too.

1X is for masochists, so I tend to avoid it.

Basically, I like the Vindis for speed, agility, and PPC quirks.
