Nope. Here is a list of the ones we have so far.
- Oxide
- Golden Boy
- Loup de Guerre
- Butterbee
- Tempest

[Y E O N N E]

The Scorch (MAD-IIC) is also going to have four missile hard-points.

[El Bandito]

Which is why we need to have the Longbow for IS, and the Blood Kite for Clans. The Hero versions are gonna be amazeballs LRM boats, unless PGI trolls us with an energy only version.

The new Catapult hero. Looks better than Jester in my opinion, but suffers from micky mouse ears.

[N0ni]

If we ever get the Ebon Jaguar Samantha, it comes with a RT pod with 3 Missile hardpoints. Then just tack on the other pods with missiles in the LT/ LA / RA for the potential for 6.

I don't really see X-5 as a missileboat. Not enough missile hardpoints. Thats why I didn't include things such as Huginn, Misery, and Pretty baby.

2x20 tube missile hardpoint with 25% Missile coolddown quirk. I think it qualifies. Besides, why would one need so many missile hardpoints for a 40 ton mech?

Because Arctic Wolf.

I think we should distinguish missile boats into LRM and SRM - a mech that is pretty good with SRMs isn't always a good lurmy and vice versa.

Especially the X-5 - while nice quirks, you won't see it often with with LRMs because it just don't have the tonnage for it. On the other side, mount some splats and call it a day.

Imagine you encounter its colorful grin in a dark corner of an alley in your lowly locust.. yeah, THE horror.. beware, its always around the next corner to grin(d) your face to death...

[cazidin]

No. But one might argue that he's the first missile boat assault hero mech.

Because LRMs above 10 are extremely inefficient, and even 10s are dodgy. Thats why most LRM boats use masses of 5s, unless your using b33f's LRM 100 Stalker.
