I have a feeling that many players will be piloting many Catapult variants, my be wrong though.

Well, from my time with TT mechwarrior, I know from bitter experience that the K2 works damn well as a ballistics platform. Put two uac/5 on that beast, or even dual gauss, and its a monster. I'll probably get one just for giggles.

I like it since i can strip everything off and then run 2 guass rifels. No heat sinks either... It is suprising how much damage 2 guass rifels can do hitting the same point at the same time.

If i had to run one i would go with the K3, wants the DHS's

[Tigerhawk71]

The K2 is for PPCs basically what the Hunchback is for an AC20 - a gun with legs strapped to it. If i wanted a sniper setup and didn't want the staying power of say, an Atlas (that could easily fit an AC20 AND two PPCs) or something that can easily fit a Gauss, i'd probably have to go for a K2. Though it'd be more of a long range standoff configuration, which is basically what a Cat is in any case.

Though i've never been a huge fan of playing ranged support. My style has almost always been up close.

This is why they need to die in a fire. 2 Gauss where machine guns are is bullpoop.

The K2...Hehe the hate is definitely justifiable

[TROWAHC]

I already use the config a lot atm over the LRM boat. but that's more cause you don't need a spotter as much and you can dog fight a little more.

That NDA thing still on?

[Kell Draygo]

Yes. The only thing lifted is letting people know you are in Beta if you have the Founders Tag.

Thanks. Thought so.

Hey, you guys in the posts above! I'm in Beta, and you lot are breaking the NDA!

With a little duct tape do you think I could strap some Gauss to it?

Sorry to resurrect, but this post was all too prophetic

[Drakich]

I'll definitely try out the K2 at some point... probably sooner rather than later.

[Draken X]

By the way, how did they install a pair of Gauss on their Cat-K2?

I intend to pilot a K2 with twin gauss rifles!!!!

[Lord Ikka]

Until the Rifleman comes out, then you'll see more people want that.

[Kdogg788]

Will we see the rifleman in this game due to its design being "unseen" as they call it? I hope so since it was one of my fav mechs of the board game.

[Lord Ikka]

Sorry, I meant Jagermech. I confuse those two often.

I run a K2 with 2 LL & 2 ML and usually do better than my average match in that setup. It's an excellent mid- to close-range brawler. If I run up the heat with the LLs I can keep the attacks up with the MLs. I chose the Catapult Founder's 'mech, so I needed two other 'pults anyway.

For what it's worth, it is possible to put 4 LL in that *****, but I wouldn't recommend it... Trust me.

"Ssssssssssss...."
