so in this case lets assume,

ShadowCat-K(SHC-K)
HD- ................................................................................
CT- 1MASC..................................1MASC-2,..................
RT- 1JJ.........................................1JJ, 2LRM-Ammo.......
LT- 1JJ 1E 1M...............................1JJ, 1MPL, LRM20....0
RA- 2E..........................................2MPL,.......................0
LA- 2E..........................................2MPL,........................0
RL- 2JJ...........................................................................
LL- 2JJ...........................................................................
(the 0 means its a Unique Pod, not Current found on SHCs)

2Energy Arms to give the SHC more Energy Viability,
and the LT(1E 1M) to give SHC Pilots a reason not to take ECM,
with the K & the Prime RT you could get 6Energy on a SHC(no ECM),

Please Note, the SHC-K does not Exist in Lore/Canon,
This is a Topic for is PGI made a SHC-K would you Buy one,

Thoughts, Comments, Concerns?
Thanks,

Edit- Please Note

Idk if omnipods are there and it's available for Cbills then maybe....4 ML / boating gets old after a while. It's kinda a standard when you have no other ideas. I rather see quirks to reduce heat / make the weapons it can carry more interesting.

Can i get it without the masc and jumper jets?

Buy a Stormcrow. Shadow Cats with no jump jets are an abomination.

Anyways. Where are you getting this K variant? I see nothing remotely like this in Sarna. Is this mostly an "invent your ideal Shadow Cat" thread?

I just dont want 6 fixed jumper jets I only want 3. Kind of like when you put a S side on a timber.



And i guess we can agree masc is kind of worthless on this mech

On the contrary. While I wish M.A.S.C. was optional, I wouldn't actually take it off of my primary Shadow Cat (Quack/10, 2x cERML). It's helped me out a lot even without the whole +50kph thing people want out of it.

And also NO. All six jump jets! This is the first 'Mech in the game that jumps like a boss, and you want to reduce it back to HoverJets™ status?! NO BAD MONKEY. NO BANANA FOR YOU.

[Nathan Foxbane]

It just needs MASC which provides a meaningful speed boost.

[Ph30nix]

there is a shadowcat that can hold SEVEN Machineguns why the heck do you need anything else?

[Rushmoar]

Yes I would buy it but it is not needed. It is a nice mech as is. Why would you want it to be like all the other Clan mechs out there?
It has its own play style and making it another medium laser or pulse laser boat is bad for the game. Mechs need variety and medium mech chassis need variety as well. So in the end I don't want it but if PGI put in, I would not complain.

[Deathlike]

I'm just gonna buy omnipods.

No reason to do otherwise unless one is totally impatient.

Dude if they gave this mech(ShadowCat-K) with no jj and no masc you could have ANYTHING you wanted.... Thats the point.

I absolutely love my shadow cat. So the more omnipods the better.

[El Bandito]

I'll buy the Scat just as is. When it comes out for C-Bills, anyway.

[Sable]

It would give the shadow cat more bite potential but like someone already mentioned where is this variant you speak of?

[Greenjulius]

SCat needs better hardpoints and meaningful MASC. I highly doubt we're getting either unfortunately, so just enjoy your Sadcats while they still have that new Gundam smell. I know mine all smell of burning flesh from the last dozen pilots who've exploded spectacularly in them.

It does not exist. No canon configuration of the Shadow Cat carries more than three energy weapons. Granted, if OmniMechs worked like TT they could cram as many weapons as they had weight and critical space for.

Not really, no. At least the P has the decency to be a translation of the J configuration. Gauss Rifle for HAG20, and MGs for AP Gauss Rifles.

well look at the Orion IIC,
Sarna States "There are no known variants of the Orion IIC.",
so PGI is Creating 4 New Variants, also their is the AS7-DDC,
so this idea wouldnt be too Far from what has happened before,
