Play your catas and post your custom art jobs!

Everyday is Catapult day for me. And who needs custom paint when you're a sexy founder?

What? You don't leave your missile bays open all the time!? And what's with that arrow!? ARGH! MY BRAIN!

Last time I tried to use a Catapult, people shot my ears off moments after we joined combat.

Poor Butterbee

That explains the 11-5 never forget sig I see on here from time to time, I wondered what that was about

The Butterbee's problem isn't ear durability. It's that Lasers+SRMs=Inferno.

because there is no Founder's K2? And because Barbra Streisand nose ain't for everyone?

But... we're nowhere near the 11th of May?

Take your heretical PPC Catapult builds and nose shaming elsewhere, Bishop. The Founder nose is the best nose!

[Lil Cthulhu]

Need more love for catapults.

I guess big shnozzes need love too.

I somehow did not realize the Catapult doesn't have custom missile geometry until this moment.

Catapults FTW! Everyday should be Catapult day!

I ride with mine open but when I see their shadows as I move it's weird because their shadows stay still while the mech shadow bounces along. Kinda reminds me of Groucho's eyebrows. Maybe with my new video card I'll capture some of it.

It memorializes a November 5 patch day...I want to say 2014 but I could be wrong...when the Catapult got über-giga-maxi-meganerfed. Catapults already were yuge and PGI gave them hard points that hung missile boxes outside their ears when adding more than one missile to one of the ear hardpoints. Plus they made them fragile as hell too.

Then came a tweak here and a tweak there...and then the resize. For a blessed, beautiful month in 2016 the Cat was all that. And then...CATANERF. And ever since then its ears have fallen off in a stiff breeze. Even the skill tree didn’t help much, Jesters haven’t enough hardpoints, and the missile Cats have to run XLs to be competitive. With big noses and not much in the way of defensive quirks, they’re not strong. But the heavy PPC has made the K2 interesting, and there still are AC40 K2s out there too.

Catapult stuffs...

The only catapult I own is the K2, and that is an interesting history for the catapult.

I for one will not miss 11-5, Catapult all day.

Also I like my K2 so it wont even be a pain to do

[InvictusLee]

Accepting any and all catapult donations!

I've been away for about a year so I missed anything they did recently... the last I remember they were simply obsolete, almost every variant.
