I love the looks of the Executioner (probably one of the few) and the Ebon Jaguer. So question, does anyone have thoughts to he mech builds already?
My first look is at the Executioner Prime:
If I can fit it I want to build it like a 95 ton clan version if the Ilya. As in 3 Ac5s or UAc5s or LBX5s and 2 Medium ER back up. Sadly though it depends on that Right Torso and how stuffed it will be.
Executioner A:
Maybe a Quad ERPPC build like a warhawk. But this mech has JJ, 10 more tons, and a MASC
Executioner B:
Probably change it out to the same as the A and do the same with the D. But that Quad ERPPC build while fun does depend on how heat eff it is.
Now onto the Ebon Jaguars, and first up is Prime:
Dual Gauss and laser/missile back up? Sounds ligit.
After that duel gauss maybe a triple 5 or 2 build (as in an AC 5 or 2).
Not sure you understand just how little tonnage the Gladbag has.
25 tons of pod space. Your 3 UAC5 build has 4 tons left over; enough ammo for 2 cannons.
Go with just 2 UAC5s(4 tons), ~6 ERMLs, 17DHS is the best bet when it comes to UAC5s.
Gauss would probably be better, but you have the option.
Your A would be terrible. 4 cERPPCs on a PeaceDove with quirks and 28 DHS runs too hot.
With max armour, this can do 4 cERPPCs and 17DHS. It can do that entirely on the right side of the mech, so stripping the arm and LT for 2 more tons can work. 19DHS is still woefully less than you require.
You shouldn't go higher than 2 ERPPCs on this, probably with ERSLs or SPLs, with heatsinks. Doesn't really have the tonnage for boating of much else.
Cauldron Born also can't do Dual Gauss with backup weapons, because Clam robot.
3 hardwired DHS means you can't take 3 tons of ammo. 28.5 tons of armour when maxed means 45 rounds, which isn't what you want.
It can do both Gauss rifles on the same side, so strip the entire left arm and 18 points on the LT, and you can fit 60 rounds, with no backup weapons. Should be enough for most PUGs, but not good for CW.
Tri UAC5 is a big eh, not much ammo, no backup weapons. Dual is fine, of course. Can do it better than the Loki (due to Endo+Ferro) but lacks the Jesus Box.
Anyhow, max armour the Glad has 25 tons of pod space (with 18 tons of hardwired equipment, Ferro instead of Endo) and the Cauldron Born has 28.5 tons.
Crit slots restrict some builds, but you can get a good idea of building with that, perhaps with stripping an unused arm for another half to full ton of armour.
