So I'm stuck at work until about 9 AM tomorrow and haven't been able to patch yet. I played a good bit on the PTS so I'm not too worked about the skill tree.

I want to know what Javelin owners think of the new light mech! What builds are working? 6SRM2 + ECM working for you?

I WANT TO KNOW MOAR!

Ran 4xSRM4, loads of fun was had. Ran circles around a Griffin, pummeled a Cicada, ran out of ammo, capped a base.

It's a fast light with loads of hardpoints. Haven't tried the 6M hard point one yet, but, will do tonight.

Paint it green, and it will look like kermit the frog.

I want that srm bombing rat.
Sad thing, I'll wait it for c-bills.

I only bought the standard and without quirks its not really that special in my view. It does work and for a IS mech its "good"

srm2 are still kind of "ehh" and the nerf on srm4 spread few months ago isn't helping.

The 7e might be a very good one but i didnt spend the other 15 bucks for this . I will wait for cbills.

4srm4 is a gimme for the base. Don't know if I'll go firepower tree or mobility tree, but the build seems like a winner. How many tons ammo did you bring?

Not nearly enough apparently if they ran out of ammo mid match?

I would take the 6srm2 over the 4srm4 as with the 4 you need to drop the engine down to 225(121kph) for 4.5 tons ammo or 255(137kph) for 3 tons of ammo.

6srm2 you can keep 5tons ammo and the 255 engine.

I'm at work posting on an iPhone. Doesn't the base 10S only have the 4 missle hard points?

Updated build with more ammo: JVN-10N
Matched skill tree with MORE AMMO.

Total ammo before was 360, is now 540, top speed is 125kph-ish. Has to suffice.

I'm trying to find the happy place with the 7 energy variant. It seems decently nimble for not having any thing skilled to it yet. A tad hot with 6 medium lasers, didn't dare try a 7th. I'll play with it, experiment some more, look around for web opinions. Tried two drops using smalls, did not like.

I need to stop and figure out just how close in I want to run it and fully commit. I'm doing too much meh between the mediums and smalls so far.

[Marauder3D]

My gut on 7 energy was max engine (ish) and 7 SPL. Probably won't get to try it out for a few days yet, and the SPL might not have enough range to be viable. We'll see.

And now mine will all be named after muppets. Thanks! I'd been lacking naming inspiration!
