So the pics of Butterbee have all 30 tubes showing, do the arms shrink up any if there are only 4/8 tubes per arm?

I have run the C1 with 2 LPL/2ML and dual SRM6, so I'm sure I can get a few more SRM tubes crammed in there for Butterbee. Sadly I won't be able to patch until the weekend. But with all the PHawks running around, maybe the Heavy queue will clear out enough to play!

It's the C1 with 2 more missile hardpoints. I suppose you could run it the same as a C1, or you could downsize the lasers and make some exclusive SRM-centric build, otherwise it's $16-17 USD for a 30% c-bill bonus C1, right?

The arms stay the same size from what I've gathered. My C1 only has the 2 SRM-6s, and they remain full size. 3 LRM-5s, 2 LRM-10s, doesn't matter. All missile variants have the same sized arms. Also worth mentioning, the missile bay doors now swing 180 degrees instead of 90. ALSO worth mentioning, they do not register hits, so while it increases your vertical, visual profile much more than previously, you at least don't have to worry about them making your arms fall off.

I run 2 ERLLs 2 MLs, and 2SSRM2s in my Founders Cat. I think I'd just put more SSRMs in the butterbee to keep lights from swarming me while I laser things.

Wishful thinking. I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only person who has bought a Phoenix Hawk.Posted Image

I run my C1 with an xl300, BAP, stock weapons (Artemis added for the launchers) and 5 tons of ammo. Pretty much max armor, and a couple extra heatsinks round it off. Know it has endo, not sure about ff-armor.

Missile racks aren't dynamic:

I run my C1 with 2xPPCs, 2xML, 2xASRM6 and XL300, 2xJJ and I think 16 DHS, or 14? just fill up till full Posted Image

Butterbee has currently 4xASRM6, 4xML with 2 JJ and 14 DHS, XL315. Tried with XL300 and LL/ASRM4 combo but that didn't work so well.

I'd call it a C4 with 2 more ML, but call it as you like. ^^
