The following is the loadout of an Atlas that I would like to see in the game at some point.

One LRM-20 in the torso, two Medium Lasers in the torso, one PPC on each side of the torso and finally one Medium Laser on each lower arm.

What do you think?

Good build or an impossible build?

Hardpoint wise, I think impossible

[Tandris]

Seems impossible if only due to lack of critical space in the centre torso.

AS7-K2 Atlas (Jedra) - Used by Lord Jedra Kean of Vega this variant of the Atlas removed the standard weaponry. Each arm carried a Light Gauss Rifle. The right and left torsos each carried a pair of ER Medium Lasers and a single SRM 4. The center torso carried a single ER Medium Laser. The armor protection, heat sinks, and ground performance remained

AS7-00 Atlas Jurn - This version of the Atlas was created by Preceptor Anton Jurn of the Outworlds Alliance. The traditional weaponry has been completely removed from an AS7-K chassis. The Atlas was then equipped with a Hypervelocity AC/10 and Snub Nose PPC in the right torso, while a Thunderbolt 15 launcher occupies the left torso and each arm carries a Light PPC. The ammunition for the AC and Thunderbolt are in a CASE II protected bay in the left torso. Jurn's refit also features a Cockpit Command Console that has been armored. To provide more intelligence to the commander, a Beagle Active Probe is mounted in the center torso, and each leg carries a Remote Sensor Dispenser system. BV (2.0) = 2,052[27]

I think the second version is the closest you can get to your atlas design.

you would have to move the LRM launcher to one of the side torso slots... other than that its ok however theres no close canon variant

the closest would be the AS8-D (not in service till 3074)
and a custom variant piloted by a wolfs dragoon

Or divide the LRM-20 into two LRM-10s and put them on each side of the torso.

remember the critical space? hard points 1lrm20= less space than 2lrm10

Yes i was simply sticking as close to the original weapons loadout you put forth.

as for hardpoints i think thats the part your going to have trouble finding an atlas that can do that...

You may look into a stalker if your worried about symmetry or weapon loadouts its lighter but I think hardpoint wise will better suite what your looking for

I'm moving back to one LRM-20 in the chest torso, no point in listening to some people here...

Impossible build, but not by much. None of the Atlas variants pre-3050 would give you a matching set of hardpoints of the proper types. The missile launcher's easy, but you wouldn't have enough energy hardpoints in the torso. The arms might well be able to do a PPC/ML combination, and the CT could fit two more ML's as well.

view the Internet not as an 'information highway, but as an electronic asylum filled with babbling loonies.

[Lightdragon]

....please try reading up on the rules before coming up with ideas future i really am trying hard not to flame anyone theres no dual ppc atlas... however... you could stack ac/10 or lbx ac/10 on them same damage as ppc just a few hexes less range

[Vulpesveritas]

Trolling aside, no.

Well, assuming when the OP said torso he meant any of the 3 torso sections, yes, there are enough critical slots for this. Throwing this together in Skunk Werks leaves you with default armor levels (of an AS7-D) and 8 tons to play with (I didn't include any ammo).

CT - 2 Medium Lasers
RT - LRM-20, PPC
LT - PPC
RA - Medium Laser
LA - Medium Laser

The issue you'll most likely run into, as mentioned, is hardpoints. If, by some insane chance, you can cobble together this build, you're looking at a heat monster. This weapon loadout has the potential to generate 38 heat from the weapons alone.

[SuperDude431]

Yeah i Think people are assuming that when he said torso/chest that he is talking about center. And yes i just put one together in HMP and the only issue i see is heat managment
