Lovely, most of it. The camo, the ******* police theme, the lights. ******* love it.

Performance wise though, I have a short review. The quirks, it's mostly ballistic compared to the rest, ignoring what is common to the chassis. So apparently it can have the most powerful heavy-ballistic build just as the R63.

The CT hardpoint has mixed opinions, on the one hand the K9 having the most energy hard-points would mean it can have more lazors, more damage output. But the CT hardpoint, just as the R63 seemed to be much more restrictive for me.

Granted i could zombie with Standard Engines, but then with the weapons on the arms i didn't have to worry about the torso reticle, and then I could just flick a shot. More into the game, i found that a major ballistic weapon such as AC5 + 3x ML worked for me better than a full-blown 5 lasers with 2 on the CT.

Still that 5 energy hardpoint, the K9 is the best Urbanmech variant.

K9 is indeed best performing Urbie. 30 ton mechs are better off using energy weapons and K9 got the most energy points among the chassis.

And the fact that it is the only urbanmech that can zombie is huge. Twist and jump hard and you can force the enemy to put a totally disproportionate amount of time into killing you compared to anything else.

I started off with a standard and 5 MLs but wasn't super happy with the build. Instead dropped in an XL and a AC/2 and keeping the 5 ML and now having a ball with it. I think what makes K-9 so much fun is that you can kind of go wild with your builds going from one extreme to another until you find something you enjoy.
