Very simple designs, you can see the difference technology makes in the 3rd build. Much more mobile mech carrying a much better main weapon.
10+ tons of armor on all.

Early low tech exp grind build:


Mid range design using slight technology advance with the LB-10X, adds Beagle Active Probe and Guardian ECM with the weight savings. This version does not need to get so close to deal its damage, when an enemy loses their external armor the LB-10X really shines with high chances of crit coming from all the seperate hits.



End game scout-hunter/fire support build after aquiring the technology and experience:

AC20 build looks nice... :-)

uh i like this. i have only made end game setups so far, go to do some 3025variants

you will not be able to mount jump jets on your centurion, only mech variants which are originally equipped with them can. personally i dont think your end-game mech will perform very well as a scout hunter, i imagine it will be kinda hard to hit those fast runners with a gauss and you only have 16 shots

Dammit, for some reason I thought the Centurion had them...back to the drawing board...I may not even use the mech anymore, that was my only purpose of picking it.

i am no expert, so there may be a centurion variant equipped with jump jets would be really nice. but i could not find one on sarna or in megamek

Needs an SRM themed build, maybe LBX10 plus SRM6?

[Gutentag]

If anyone likes these builds you can remove .5 tons for each jump jet removed. So 2 tons extra for the 4/6/4 builds and 3 tons for my 6/9/6 build. The Centurion will not be able to use the jump jets that I have included.

SRM-6: 3 Tons

Have you guys considered using the Centurion-6AL? The Centurion video hints that it will be one of the Centurion variants. With multiple energy hardpoints in the right arm, you could do as much damage as an autocannon, without worrying about ammo.

I actually built one in game. And it is sexy.

Centurion CN9-A

Weapons
2 MLas
1 LB-X10 (2 tons Ammo)
2 SRM6 (3 tons Ammo)

Equipment
Currently I am running a STD200 engine. I really liked the survivability of the STD200, but am considering upgrading to an XL245 for the bonus speed.
10 DHS
320 Armor
Endo Steel Chassis

Heat management is a dream in this thing at present, and it slugs it out so nicely. The SRM6's are great for shredding off armor, and the LB-X10 is perfect for the finishing blow. Was in a duel with a hunchie in this thing. Two blasts from my SRM's and 1 from my LBX, both his RT and CT were stripped of armor. The next LBX shot wrecked him. I got 4 different components in one hit. It was beautiful.

Holy necro Batman!

That said, I so very much wish I could use variant 2, with the ECM.

But CN9-As with ECM running around with 3 SSRM, 2 ML, LBX at 90kph would kinda be unstoppable.

Also, JJ on a CN9 would be cool, but that's what the Trebuchet's for.
